"Yuan, I won't beat around the bush and will get straight to the point," Emperor Lucien said the moment Yuan and his wives arrived before him. He looked visibly concerned, his face glistening with sweat.
"That's very wise of you, Your Highness. Please, continue," Yuan replied with a polite smile. He appreciated Emperor Lucien's straightforward nature.
Emperor Lucien nodded, his expression serious. "The war between the Lionheart Empire and the Holy Church has officially begun. Both sides have suffered massive casualties and lost many soldiers."
"Currently, the Holy Church holds the advantage in this war due to their overwhelming number of soldiers. However, Emperor Philip was clever enough to reduce their numbers significantly using hidden traps scattered all over the battlefield."
Having laid out the current state of the war, Emperor Lucien took a deep breath, visibly trying to compose himself. The tension in his posture showed just how much the war was weighing on him.
