las looked at the young lady who was full with excitement "so you want to raise an army of 20.000 men and you want the equipment for them ,why does a powerful house as the novers needs all the war equipment ? can't you do it alone "

the lady was hesitant "not an army of 20.000 we want the equipment for 10.000 we can't supply so many men my lord and most of them are just commoners but we want to give them weapons "

las smiled for a second "how rare most lords will call their vassal and have them fight with hoes " the woman didn't speak back

"so what is the relationship between baron lasbourg in my west and marquess novers in my east , the 2 houses are from different empires so how do the 2 of you are together ?" both of the were hesitant but started to speak

"my lord we met in your territory when we were young both of our fathers took a small army to help defend your fortress in the north together with the imperial army both of our fathers took us and there we met our fathers knew each other from before my lord "

las waited and asked again " so daughter of marquess novers what is you name ?"

"o yes i will introduce myself my name is aria von novers the second daughter of marquess novers from the kansberg empire "

las looked at the other woman "my name is elena de lasbourg the first daughter of baron lasbourg the only child of the baron " both of them looked at the lord expectingly las didn't understood what did they expected arthur gave him a slap in the back of the head "you idiot haven't i teach you ,don't be rude " "yes yes i was thinking "

"im las von helstain the viscount of the helstain territory , so what is the official relationship between the 2 nobles ?"

aria took the lead to talk again "its very friendly my lord they themselves are very close friends " [close friends hmm wasn't the lasbourg family about to collapse ? and the close friend with so much strength hasn't helped them ? is it because of the difference in the two empires ? or that they don't have any justification i don't care i won't ask]

"so house novers needs weapons and armour when ? "

aria looked at the lord "i don't know my lord my father and older brother are the ones organizing the war i know they are desperate to find weapons armour and other things like arrows they are in a very hard situation "

las spoke again "so i will sent a rider in both estates to inform them of what happen each one of you will write a letter to your houses lady aria you should ask your father to make a visit himself to speak about the weapons "

both gave the same answer " yes my lord "

las looked arthur who still was in his side "give them a room both for the ladies and the knights feed them too "

"as lord helstain commands "

arthur and the guest left william looked at the lord "my lord are you going to sell weapons to other houses ? should we sell weapons when our own army doesn't my lord "

"william i need to feed the people first the novers family has a lot of food i will sell weapons for food and i will buy clothes from the lasbourg house we must survive the winter william "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------in the imperial city of the azeldian empire

the emperor in the head of the table eating with his family , the race for the throne is still going on but the emperor was always a very loving father to his children right now he has 8 kids 5 boys and 3 girls all of them are still a family and a close one when they are into the main castle they are a family so they eat together ignoring the war even the siblings like the first prince and princess are very friendly

catherine the first princess who came from the battlefield in the north was confused "father you seem different today what happen?" the old emperor knew that he didn't have a lot of time but he still had a faint smile "yes my daughter something good happen "

"my health is going down hill , so i called my old friend in the capital to help he hold everything together "

"who is it father ? "

"the head of the everden house the grand duke zeke von everden "

everyone in the room stopped eating , if the emperor called a loyal man like him to the capital that means that the emperor thinks that he is about to die the first prince looked at his tired father he tried to change the subject "father have you heard the south east is burning the two ducky have gone to war the entire south east is killing each other "

"i know son but i can't do anything for now both of this 2 houses are very powerful and no one really cares for now most think that in some months the war will end and the trade will come back "

the prince knew very well in what state is the imperial house of azeldia but he continued "the question is where did the the duke gervelt found so much strength to declare war ?"

the emperor didn't say anything back he just looked down one minute passed then another the knight in his back hesitated to speak up so the princess did "father ? are you all right ? "

the emperor couldn't hold himself together any longer he fell down his head hitting the table "father !!!!!!!!!"

"CALL THE IMPERIAL DOCTOR" the knight screamed

"your majesty your majesty !!!"
