"It seems the Emperor is dead..." Ken Avenor soon said to the CALIBURN council member meeting.
"What?! That is impossible Ector!!", one of the members soon said.
"As it may seem we as well lost contact with Lady Zelesia, not to mention losing all our forces within the Southeastern Frontier Region! Something telling me Blackguard is making moves that could threaten the Empire!! Now your telling me me that the Emperor is now dead!!", another member soon said at the round table.
Ken fixed his eyes he knew this was going to happen he noticed Kay was not present but it didn't matter. Ken then says to quell the unrest, "I know it seems impossible the Emperor cannot simply just die like that something else is afoot. Something more sinister as well our intelligence reports Gransela has been more active as of late in terms of showing military capability. With Blackguard showing itself a bit more stronger then we predicted it doesn't stop our duty. We all here made a vow to protect this Empire from all threats that would destabilize it. Right now the Empire is likely going through the period of mourning and crowning the Empress Cirena. We do have one note... the Crown Princess has yet to leave the Academia yet. I will have Kay try to find what the hell is going on in the capital. For now we can do nothing but watch and wait... for something is not right at all. That is all your all dismissed."
As Ken was left in the room alone he soon left it and noticed Lin walking up to him.
"Did the meeting go well brother?", Lin asked.
"Not as much I thought the Emperor would live a bit longer he was getting old... only thing is I hope the coronation of the Empress goes without a hitch...", Ken soon said.
"Not like that matters... we have an issue at hand.", Lin soon said which caught Ken's attention.
"Oh what now?", Ken soon asked.
"I got a report Andraste Task Force was attacked by an unknown vessel that was completely invisible. All but Andraste are confirmed destroyed only thing is... Andraste went missing soon after.", Lin then said with Ken already figuring out likely attackers were.
"This is not good... the Emperor is dead... CALIBURN is blinded in the frontier with Blackguard doing the Star Child knows what. Now Gransela as well growing restless. Lin... tell the the shipyards to push overtime and the schedule of the replacement of the Aurlian Grand Fleet must be completed faster now. We are losing time though most of the fleet would of been ready in a year two years time would of been enough to completely finish everything. If things continue to progress... we must we ready for war if this kettle pot explodes.", Ken then said.
"I understand brother... I think we can maybe finish a quarter of the Grand Fleet and an sixth of the Star Forces Fleets in about a week or two. Though I may have to hire more ship builders.. as well use some emergency war time powers... thing is. The Council is not going to like it at all.", Lin then said to Ken.
"Just do it... as well have your son go to the capital we need to get Ven out of there. We cannot have our future Duke a hostage if something happens.", Ken then said as he left.
