Mykel stayed for two nights and Manna hadn't given an answer yet but she was already chosen by the people to rule over the Empire. They were asking about Nabel and after they realized that he was dead, there was nothing they could do about it and they didn't even bother investigating his death.
The world was slowly coming back to life, the rivers were no longer dried out and everyone had enough water supply to live in the city. The livestock were all sent to the capital city and they made farms outside the capital city like how the Cavasi Kingdom did.
Everything was so peaceful but the problem was the Awakeners who were fanatics about death still bothering Mykel. He wanted to kill them all because they were nothing but problems for his plan, and even Manna was so shocked after she realized how bad it was for them to think that death was the only thing they had in mind.
Brainwashing them would take a lot of effort and time and it wasn't even worth the trouble.
