News of the newly crowned King of New York, Marlo, challenging the newly declared Supreme Emperor of Mars, Brandon, spread fast. Mostly because Marlo roared his challenge at Brandon as loud as he could without causing something to break.
Supreme Emperor Brandon was once again celebrating his honeymoon with the Supreme Empress Audrey, and so was in no mood to respond immediately. This gave enough time for news to spread across the Inn. Rorick, the acting ruler of Mars - as the title his parents had imparted upon him - was currently not at the Inn or else he may have tried to downplay this fight. But he had been gone for nearly a week, as the heir apparent - that would be the title Brandon gave to Alexander - had briefly returned to Earth since no one was supposed to know his location on Earth, and had returned with grave news.
