Amberser's question caught Allen off guard.
The Royal Family of Laine had indeed completely decayed, but Allen had never considered this question. Now, the identity Allen claimed to the outside world was merely that of an envoy of the Laine Empire, and he didn't actually have any officially recognized status.
But Allen's reputation spoke for itself, so everyone took it for granted that he could represent Laine.
And during this time, Laine had been in complete chaos, teetering on the brink of collapse.
The nation was on the verge of extinction; who would have the mindset to care about who became the Emperor? Even if there were those who harbored such thoughts, they wouldn't bring it up at this time. Becoming the ruler of a fallen country is not an enviable position.
But since Amberser had broached the subject, he must have been confident about saving Laine.
That meant the issue could not be ignored.
The vast Laine Empire, what path should it take moving forward?
