While the assassinations were taking place across the entirety of the inner city of Adia, a party was being held at a central manor.
Although the entire inner city of Adia was cleanly divided among the ten noble families, in the central region, a piece of land was still reserved, belonging to no family, a completely free zone. The location where the participants of the resource distribution game would compete was also situated here.
There were rumors that this empty area was where the heads of the great families discussed matters of great importance, like a roundtable conference. There were rumors that this was a hidden manifestation of the Akazac Empire's interference and control over Adia and its nobility. There were rumors that this land held an immense secret that both the Akazac government and the nobility wanted to seize. But none of these rumors had been confirmed until now.
