War.
Just one word.
But that one word was good enough to make even the strongest shiver.
Venira sighed. "And who is speaking right now?" She didn't look at Boran, but she spoke regardless.
Some of the Regents wondered the same.
After all, Boran was exclusively loyal to Venira and everyone knew that. But he was explicitly going out of his way to make trouble for her?
"Boran Verbetia, the Regent of Verbetia." He reintroduced himself with a smile. "Also, lady Emily proposes, we let the people of Squarva elect a new leader for themselves and let them be for now. This way, the reason for their revolt would diminish. After all, Lady Venira already possesses enough planets, and letting go of 9 from another dead Regent wouldn't be that hard for her."
And almost everybody knew that.
But no one had dared to propose as much to Venira. After all, they didn't want themselves to be next.
