Chapter 298: Permission

Sitting before me was the Empress of Ash, founder of our Empire, and the strongest woman on the continent.

To the left of her sat Lady Igna, the Volcanic Dragon that calls Sanctus Ignacia home, and the protector of the Capital.

To the right of her was the Empress' first wife, Lady Theresa, the 'Saintess of Nature' and gentle, guiding hand of the Empire.

Lastly, a few thrones to the right was Lady Lorelei Presa, a True Vampire and master of the arcane, as well as the mother of my future wife, Leone Presa-Ash.

Each woman that had a throne inside this room was incredible in their own right, and each of the children that they sired from the Empress' seed was just as talented, if not more so than their mother's.

However, for the time being, I was more focused on the women present then those that were absent, as this was where we would get official confirmation for the Crusade, alongside our true orders for the West.
