Meanwhile, in the Eastern Empire...
Vico was on the border of his state meeting with Willow at this very moment.
Their states were working together to prepare for the unstable times ahead, acting to prevent themselves from the actions Maximillian was taking in the Evergreen Empire.
At this meeting, Vico and this woman arranged for joint training of their forces near the border with the Flaming Empire before the most important thing was finished being discussed.
At the end of this meeting of more than two hours, the one who was known as the strongest on the continent said to that woman. "What's with Henry Quinn? He and I have been mortal enemies for a long time, but I have never seen him so strange as recently...
He seems to have his mind elsewhere. He doesn't seem as focused on what we are about to face."
Willow heard that and sighed, setting her cup of tea aside.
