Lords of the Warp Beginning with Violet

"Ursus Newspaper! Emperor Alexander has passed away, and Emperor Ivan has become the new emperor!"

"Ursus Newspaper! Emperor Alexander has passed away, and Emperor Ivan has become the new emperor!"

At the gate of Thorn City, Violet, who had come to greet the envoy from Saint Steed Castle, heard the sound of a newsboy selling newspapers from the next block.

The incident first happened two months ago. At that time, No. 3 in Saint Stein Castle only sent back one message: the emperor passed away and there was a change in Ursus. After that, Violet never received any news again. Even the First Army garrison directly under the emperor cut off all commercial trade with Saint Stein Castle.

It was not until recent days that the Ursus newspaper issued a declaration about the emperor's death and the new emperor's succession to the throne. Followed by orders sent from the Saint Steed Castle to various places, requiring nobles from all places to abandon all affairs and attend the Imperial Parliament.

This was one of the reasons why Violet was waiting here. No matter what, she had to go to the Castle of Saint Stein and bring back the three hundred servants.

“Tap-tap-tap—”

In the distance, a man wearing a fur coat and a leather bag on his waist was riding on a pack animal, rushing towards the direction of the train station without stopping.

As soon as they met, he jumped off his horse, then ran quickly to Violet, bowed and saluted, as if he had done this many times.

“Your Excellency Duke Violet, on behalf of Emperor Ursus, I bring you the Emperor’s invitation.” He handed over a package with both hands, and stood up only after Violet took it.

"I am so busy with official duties that I cannot explain the reason in detail. All the information that His Majesty the Emperor wants to convey is in the package." Bowing again, the messenger mounted his horse and left in the direction of the train station.

Violet tightened the package in her hand and walked towards the municipal office.

"Sir." Number One greeted politely after seeing the visitor.

“Yes.” After nodding in response, Violet sat down at her seat, took off the outer cloth wrapping, opened the hoofed animal skin paper wrapping inside, and saw three documents.

An invitation to the Imperial Parliament, a map, and a letter.

After confirming that the letter was intact, Violet opened it directly.

[Dear Duke Violet, Mr. Li Sheng:

I am sorry for not writing to you in the past six months, and even cut off the contact between my servants and the Violet Territory. Please forgive my mistake. The sudden death of my father forced me to focus more on maintaining this huge empire.

I had no choice but to ask your servants to assist me in handling these matters, but as a condition they could not contact the outside world. Perhaps you received the letters they wrote to you three months ago.

So with the help of the army group left by my father and the assistance of my servants, I was able to maintain peace in Saint Jun Castle so that things would not happen too suddenly. However, just two months ago when I was about to announce my accession to the throne, something happened that forced me to delay the announcement.

In the west of Ursus, three thousand silver-spear Pegasus from Casimir, led thirty thousand chivalrous knights and brazenly invaded the land of Ursus. The Second Army guarding the west was completely wiped out.

There was even a period of time when I saw the gleam of silver armor in the distance on the walls of the Castle of Saint Stein.

In order to prevent the spread of information and cause panic among the people of Ursus, I had to block the news again and even terminate all business activities heading to Fort Saint Stein until Casimir withdrew his troops half a month ago.

After confirming the safety of Fort Saint, I started to release the news of my father's death in order to attract the attention of the domestic people, and began to gradually open up business activities.

There are also matters regarding the convening of the Imperial Parliament to discuss. It is hoped that the Grand Duke can serve as the leading general, and that Teacher Li Sheng can serve as the chief of staff to retake the lost territory.

Finally, I would like to discuss with Teacher Li Sheng something about the Bolivar Wood Elves.

Ursus calendar year 882, July, 7. (Ursus was founded in the 3st year of Terra, and the Ursus calendar here starts from the founding of Ursus.)

Teacher Li Sheng’s dear disciple, Ivan Alexander Lovech. 】

Putting down the letter, Violet picked up a map beside her. This was a map that Ursus had adapted from the global map of Terra released by Victoria. The general map of the current plot was visible to the naked eye. In the western part, all the land of Ursus that the previous emperor had plundered through war in the south was now marked in red, and even advanced a lot inward, approaching the capital, Fort Saint.

"Number One, take this letter to Li Sheng, and also take the map."

Upon hearing the order, No. 1 put down the application documents regarding the garrison training of Violet Territory led by No. 2 in southern Ursus, took the map and letter handed to him by Violet with both hands, and turned to leave the office.

With her arms propped on the table, Violet pressed her thumbs to her temples.

Ivan said so much in the letter, but in the end she just wanted Li Sheng to join the army. Although she really didn't want Li Sheng to know about this, she still asked No. 1 to take the letter to Li Sheng.

"Knock knock knock~" After a moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Whoo~"

After taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, Violet looked towards the door of the office and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open and Li Sheng poked his head in.

"hello!"

Violet breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the man coming. She no longer maintained her usual dignity, but still propped herself up with her arms and looked at him: "Why are you here?"

"Huh? Didn't you ask No. 1 to give me the things?" He shook the letter and map in his hand.

"So? Are you going or not?"

"I'm not a pervert. Who would like to go to the battlefield for no reason?" He pulled out a chair and sat on it, then continued, "But we still have to go. It's a good opportunity to discuss matters related to the Wood Elves."

"First, I want to find a family for Jie Yin, and second, I want to free myself from this endless work of producing food. After all, no matter how much food is produced, people will eventually change if they eat too much sub-space-generated food.

Even though it has not manifested yet, I can still sense the increasing spiritual energy within the fragment."

"You can arrange the rest. I will not serve as a military staff officer. After you lead your army to defeat Casimir's invading army, I will probably set off for Bolivar. You will have to rely on yourself during my absence."

“That’s all. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” Li Sheng asked, standing up and putting down the letter and map in his hand. He looked at Violet who also stood up.

“Huff~” Violet let out a breath, sat down again and shook her head.

Seeing this, Li Sheng left the office. For a moment, the only sound in the quiet office was the sound of pens writing on paper.

Then there was another knock on the door, and this time it was number one who came in. The papers with writings and drawings on the table were crumpled into a ball and thrown into the trash can.

If you open it, you will find that there is nothing on it except the randomly drawn lines. But why are there randomly drawn lines on the office paper? Perhaps only Violet herself knows.
