Armoring

It was year 10024 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, and a lot had happened in Emperor Xia's Realm in the past year.

Ye Futian became a saint, and Xiao Sheng had perished. The Xiao clan, which had been extremely renowned for a time, seemed to show signs of decline.

There was yet another princess in Emperor Xia's Palace—Princess Xi. It was said that she kicked up a lot of fuss after moving into the royal palace, being at odds with Xia Qingyuan.

Princess Xia Qingyuan seemed to have gotten herself a rival.

There were signs of activity from Dali Dynasty's army at the borders of Emperor Xia's Realm, and there had been several skirmishes. That alerted Emperor Xia's Realm considerably, and armies had been sent there to strengthen border defense, as well as keep a close eye on the movements of the neighboring dynasty.
