But Princess Rupert didn't even look at them.
She addressed Aleph directly, saying, "Ignore these people, their previous collusion with the Blind Followers is enough for them to die ten times over."
"And the Colin People?" Aleph asked.
"The Colin People are preoccupied," Princess Rupert said calmly, "I just received news that a full-blown rebellion has erupted in Colin's southern region. Starting from the White City, thirteen towns have already declared independence. They can't bother with us now, a great war between the north and south is on the verge of breaking out—"
The hall was deathly silent.
No one expected such a thing to happen at this crucial moment.
The nobles present, upon hearing this, collapsed directly to the ground, their faces pale, shivering with fear. The courage they had mustered because of the Colin People dissipated instantly.
In the midst of the silence, Saisheer finally spoke, "Your Majesty, we must immediately inform Ade and the others."
