After the shocking announcement about Gaum declaring himself as the new king and introducing his new lover, Aster di Arlingdon to his ministers. The news spread wide. Most of the citizens were unhappy to have Gaum as the king, because he was not really well known except for his handsome face.
He didn't have any merit in their eyes, while Gamasiel was proven to be a great knight that contributed to the empire for so many battles. However, Gaum seemed to be nonchalant about this, instead he fired all officials that were against his new status as the king of Rhea and reformed the ministry.
