Without any of you even noticing

In a human sacrifice to empower all of our soldiers and make them invincible

We will go through your border wards just as easily as we went into your palace

We will ravage your lands, kill your people, and retake possession of the Western continent




To all of our traitorous eastern neighbours
 
Wake up to the nature of your subjugation to the Imperials and fight against your yoke!
 

Reject the leaders that have signed your capitulation to the empire

Seize the riches of the Imperials for yourself

Bring down the border wards
 
Or we will consider you as lost and treat you just like the rest of them!

This is basically the triggering event for the novel :D So no spoiling anything, but Hélène is going to try to free the emperor so that she can use his "gratefulness"/blackmail him to lift the legal curse on her friend.   Meanwhile, the Sanniens are trying to negotiate with the empire. The emperor's soulmates want him to live since their own influence depends entirely on him (and some of them actually like him), but the rest of the government would rather laugh at the Sanniens and just select a new emperor...   Thanks for the comment <3

D: Noooo! Not the enemies! Don't you want to gain access to some cool solarpunk magitech for practically free? You just have to let yourself be colonised and to submit to the emperor!
