Rhyssa believes in this world only she could understand Arial struggles and motivation. There are no equals to both of them.
They against all odds, unify the fragmented influence of power in the continent, carving an Empire that will last for Ages.
They both have bathed in blood; they both have piled a mountain of bones and spill a river of blood.
People said Arial is a tyrant and a devil King. But one needs to look at all sides. To the Zettelian, yes, Arial could very well be described as a Devil King.
But to the people of the Empire? He was their Wise Emperor, praised through all the four corners of the Empire.
Rhyssa wanted to ask people, which Wise Emperor did not shed blood?
How can you become a wise emperor without shedding a few blood? This era is the Era of unification.
Every Era has its trend. Unify and then break. Break and then unify. Now after they separated, the kingdoms is once again, united.
