One week later...
Much had changed in Leopoldine since the death of Emperor Otto Leopoldine days before.
After the official period of mourning, Klaus Leopoldine ascended the Imperial throne and became the new ruler of the Empire, with the support of most of the Imperial family, as well as the shadow followers of that house.
Like the Jansen family, the families that lived in Leopoldine's shadow did not care who was in charge. Everything was fine for those powers as long as that person was not against them.
Thus, Klaus faced no major obstacles in the days following his father's death.
Not only that, but with the help of the young masters of the families Stauss and Welzel, he had gained access to his younger brother!
Eight days after the death of the former Leopoldine Emperor, Third Prince Lars was found dead in his residence!
