Another day passed by in the palace. Everyone who had been protesting and requesting an audience with the person who was currently in charge of the palace was all invited in. Mostly consisted of the aristocrat faction, some representative of commoners, nobles with titles, and a bunch of people who were concerned about the rising or falling empire.
"Hmph! I had heard that they are planning to sit a human as emperor. What is the royal family thinking? Announcing to make the Heart Kingdom as an empire — and then, this... so suddenly."
"You better hold your tongue. No matter how you feel so disappointed, you are still inside the palace, Count."
"Even so, no human king will make me bow down even if it is the strongest knight."
"There is no official announcement yet."
"They kept us all in here and..." One nobleman scrunched his nose up while bobbing his face on the few commoners inside the hall with them. "... with such filthy turned vampires."
