The tension in the hall was thick enough that it could be cut with a knife. Everyone looked shocked at what just took place in front of their eyes.
But the one person who was most affected by this looked calm. Lord Lucas Dirac's expression was calm and serene. It was the face of someone who had finally attained peace at last.
"I always knew things were going to end up like this. That's why I knew taking measures against this kingdom was necessary."
Lord Dirac took a long breath and his following words left the whole corridor worth of people speechless.
"The Dirac house with all its territories and its assets will be leaving the empire. And before you say anything foolish you should know that it is a lawful procession. The sheet was renewed just a few years ago."
The emperor had his jaw hanging after the announcement. Never in his life had he expected this moment to come.
