The visitor is a tall woman. As the main subject, the square hat is placed on the surface of her golden and smooth long hair, highlighting her beautiful features on her fair complexion. Her deep eyes exude a touch of calmness, and her lips are fiery red, like flames, igniting a unique charm. Under her long and fair neck, a hint of collarbone is slightly exposed, with delicate and touchable skin, tempting men with a deep throbbing in their hearts. She wears a blue robe, which is loose but not bulky; instead, it brings a sense of wonder, arousing the curiosity of onlookers about the graceful figure beneath the clothing.
Inran is not like Dibiles, where women in the core circle are extremely rare. The woman in front of the two marshals is the third most prestigious woman in Inran, second only to the Empress and the Princess (the Empress's sister). She is the current Prime Minister, surpassing four marshals in rank and serving as the messenger of the Emperor's will.
To say, "The Majesty is above," and demand that others adhere to the rules, the expressions of the marshals are rather complicated. Not for any other reason, but because they know very well what the situation is above the throne: There is no one seated on the throne, but there is a life-sized pillow with a pattern that faithfully reproduces the appearance of the Empress. In other words, when the Empress is not present, there is only her 1:1 replica pillow, which probably means: "I (We) don't want to work. Once we start working, we lose. Use your imagination and treat the pillow as the real person!" There is no need to say more about reality; everyone knows it well.
On this sunny and beautiful autumn day, even if it is cool at night, Her Majesty, the esteemed Emperor, has skipped work again! The Emperor's younger sister, the princess, has the right to speak on this matter. If she were present, she would probably complain, "Both of us are Empresses, why is my sister so lazy? Look at other countries where the Empress sitting in that position, why can Isabella be so diligent and work hard consistently year after year?" Yes, Inran Empire is larger and more powerful than Dibiles in terms of territory and national strength, but there is one thing that needs to be envied: the famous "Other People's Series." If it were in Inran, the princess would probably sarcastically say in private, "The Empress of other people's families... The Empress does not handle affairs, leaving military matters to the marshals and entrusting domestic and foreign policies to the Prime Minister. She spends her days in ease and leisure, not worrying about the loss of power." Hasn't anyone thought about the problem of power falling into the wrong hands? On the palace court, there are people who want to be in charge. In order to address this potential trouble, the Empress deliberately divided power into several parts, allowing powerful individuals with authority to balance each other. This is a typical decentralization strategy, with the most important military power divided into six parts. Including the Forbidden Army led by her younger sister, there are six powerful individuals who have a significant number of troops and broad power, and strictly speaking, no one can overpower anyone else. Not to mention, there are examples of extremely bad relationships between colleagues, like the North and South Marshals. Once any of them has malicious intentions, their nemesis will probably have a good laugh! Unless there is massive intervention by foreign powers, the stability of the palace court is unshakable. It is precisely because the Empress created a relative balance of power that she can live carefree; behind that subtle sense of security is her own great wisdom hidden under the appearance of laziness. It can be said: The world is propelled forward by lazy people! As usual, the Emperor does not participate in important meetings but entrusts his will and full authority to the Prime Minister to convey. The reason why the marshals were summoned here today is precisely for the diplomatic mission or, to put it more accurately, the incident that happened to serve as a catalyst. To sum it up in one sentence, the Prime Minister stood before the two of them and calmly stated, without adding any additional words: "The alliance with Dibiles is officially null and void from today, and Inran will fully prepare for war!"
