A week had passed since the queen had requested a meeting between the 6 kingdoms and the Empire. The subject, the Redwings. The meeting was to take place inside Roland academy. An apparent neutral ground as Roland technically wasn't owned by any of the kingdoms or the Empire.
It would also be the safest place for them as they were surrounded by the four-tower masters.
As the leaders of each Kingdom arrived in the city. They had brought with them their own army of around 1000 men. Although they were to be stationed outside and not allowed in the city. However, they were ready to attack at any moment if anything was to go wrong.
The only people who didn't bring an army along with them was the Empire. In fact, they hadn't even bother sending anyone of importance to this meeting. They had sent two guards and with them a messenger that was hardly a noble in the Empire.
