The past seven months had been the most terrible timeline of the empire's history. It was the time when the internal fighting was at its peak.
This happened due to the 'vacant' throne of emperor during the empress regent's rule. The two most shocking opponents from this fight were the current empress regent and her own son, the crown prince.
The dangerous spark of war began when the crown prince stopped considering the relationship and motherly ties between the empress and himself. He secretly plotted against his mother from behind while claiming that he was just a harmless puppet.
He stole the empress' loyal supporters and instigated distrust within her royal personnel. The first three months of the empress regent's rule was quite peaceful but she couldn't hold the demanding officials who pressed her to put the crown prince as emperor.
