Before they knew it, some time had passed since the unusual conversation between Cedric and Kaellion in the corridor of the logistics information center earlier. Beneath the pitch-black night sky, in her own palace, Evelynine, the current Queen of the Avandor Empire, was truly in a difficult situation. Who would have thought that those illegal merchants would be discovered by the imperial logistics department, and the case against Duke Florance that she had deliberately arranged had simply disappeared.
Thankfully, the Empire was currently under her control because the Emperor was in no condition to interfere due to the mysterious illness that was slowly consuming his body. This also meant that, for the time being, the Empire's power had fallen entirely into the Queen's hands, with no one daring to oppose her—at least for now.
