8 days before Elion's arrival.
Riverdale throne hall...
Aurelius sat on the throne with a cold expression on his face.

All the ministers and dukes and nobles were present, and everyone gulped nervously. They still remembered the Brutal scene they had witnessed in the capital this morning.
They had Witnessed a parade, unregal, ungraceful, disgusting, and gut-wrenching, a type of march that had turned the winds of opposition against the emperor quite cold.
A march where heads of cultists were on public display as a sign of revenge for the people of Riverdale on the emperor's behalf, not only on the demonic cults but also on everyone who questioned his capabilities.
The news about erasing a cult from the ground up had caused waves across the whole continent.
In a matter of a few hours, the Riverdale Empire had seen letters arriving from across the continent, carrying warnings of wars from other cults.
