The ruler of the Ceston Empire was the Ceston Royal family. The most powerful force in the entire empire. After that comes Four Great Noble Houses — Sweeders; Webney; Woulsto; Wilbrick. All of them controlled over sixty percent of the empire's economy. Even Ceston Royal family would avoid pissing them off if they need not to.
But as the saying goes that there is no end to human desire. It fits the description of the Four Great Noble Houses quite well. They fought with each other in light, and they fought each other in dark, trying to damage one another in the hopes of becoming the strongest noble house. However, when the two armies fight, there will be corpses from both sides. No one can avoid it.
The same thing happened this time. The Sweeders tried to rob House Webney but lost horribly due to Kadyn's interruption.
