Chapter 1103: Arrival of the Holy Empire



It took two days to organize the territory of the former Antwerp Kingdom.

As soon as the prime minister's aides came in, it was easy to organize everything.

They got everything that they needed from the Antwerp Kingdom's former king and his ministers and then organized everything with the system of the Kite Kingdom.

The system that the prime minister and the chancellor came up with could be considered close to perfect with how it accounted for almost anything that could happen.

The only things that it didn't account for were those rare events that could happen that didn't happen often.

But they were so rare in the first place which was why they didn't account for them.

It was very unlikely that any of those things would happen in the first place.

With the aides working hard, it didn't take long to bring the Nergiante Dukedom's people into the positions that needed to be filled.

With them shadowing the aides, they were able to learn the things that they had to do.

That was how they developed into people that could hold these positions by learning all that they could from the aides that the prime minister sent.

On the third day, it was the day when the Nergiante Dukedom would announce that it would become the Nergiante Kingdom.

There was a large ceremony that was held in the capital of the Nergiante Dukedom.

Even though the Antwerp Kingdom's capital was bigger and more prosperous, Duke... No, it was King Nergiante now, who decided to hold the ceremony in the capital of the former Nergiante Dukedom.

That was his way of announcing to the world that even if the dukedom became a kingdom, that didn't change who they were at the core.

The core of the new Nergiante Kingdom would still be the same old Nergiante Dukedom.

So they wouldn't abandon the lands of the former Nergiante Dukedom now that they had obtained the lands of the Antwerp Kingdom.

As for the former king and ministers of the Antwerp Kingdom, they were not allowed to come to the ceremony at all.

It all depended on how far the Holy Empire wanted to take this.

That was why I had kept the former king of the Antwerp Kingdom and the ministers alive.

I knew that it was impossible to avoid them, so the only thing that could be done was face them head on and see what happened.

It was impossible to avoid the influence of the Holy Empire, it was only possible to avoid it

temporarily.

But it didn't seem like they would arrive in time.

Or that was what it seemed like until there was a soldier that suddenly ran in.

The moment that he ran in, both King Nergiante and I looked at him with knitted brows. That was because both of us knew that he must have a reason for running in here like this. After the soldier ran in, he said with a serious and worried look, "The Holy Empire's delegation has just arrived."

"How many?" I asked without any hesitation.

The soldier was surprised to hear me asking this, but he didn't hesitate to answer since he

already knew who I was.

"It's a small group of a few priests and a few knights."

Both of us couldn't help knitting our brows even more as neither of us could understand what

the Holy Empire's group was planning to do.

I looked at King Nergiante and he looked at me, neither of us said anything.

Eventually, I turned back to the soldier and said, "We're going to meet them."

The soldier looked at King Nergiante with a worried and doubtful look, but he eventually led

the way when he saw King Nergiante nodding to him.

But that worried look didn't disappear.
