Foreign Threat?

While things in Peters City were heating up, with the Ritter family leading local efforts in various directions, things were quite different for power from Utrary.

In a family north of that state, the death of three of their Saints had already scared the entire family and turned their people's attention to Leopoldine.

Someone in Leopoldine powerful enough to kill Saints had appeared, and they could not ignore it!

The three of them were only on a trip to investigate what had happened to the young master of this family, a Transcendent. But such a thing had led to the death of even a Celestial Saint!

This was something unacceptable, and such a family was already moving to give a response.

In the capital of Utrary, a group of 12 powerful people were gathered in a large luxurious hall, where some armed men were standing around.

At the most important point of the palace, a woman with a beautiful gemstone tiara was sitting on a golden throne, looking at her vassals.
