Hearing a nigh-declaration of war, Liam furrowed his brows a bit.
"Empress of Fear and Emperor of Courage," Usan explained.
"These are the two in charge of the Dual Empire."
"They were indeed lovers at once. But they've had a falling out. Or so I've been told."
Liam's eyes widened.
"You were serious about the lover's quarrel part?" Liam asked incredulously.
Usan nodded with an amused snort.
"The black side of the country belongs to the Empress of Fear."
"The white side belongs to the Emperor of Courage."
"Both countries work in similar ways, but also contrast with one another.
"For the Empire of Courage, those higher ranked will live above those below them."
"For the Empire of Fear, it's the opposite. The lower ranked folks are at the top, while the higher ranked live at the bottom."
"Both their empires are massive. And their war is somewhat controlled. It's only between their borders."
