A news spread through the capital city of the Golden Republic, claiming that tomorrow the trajectory of all of their lives would be changed, for the ones who would become their new Emperor would give speeches requiring them all to vote.
The terror of a new Emperor was one that these people did not want whatsoever. And yet, they were forced into it. Forced to vote for someone they didn't even like.
Jema Tayla-Gronn, a noblewoman of the Olvia kingdom.
Oleander Wes-Gauss, a nobleman of the Marsh kingdom.
And finally, Trenaut Ron-Golhlog, a descendant of the Conqueror, Volter Golhlog, and a relative of Valhador Golhlog, the emperor they had killed.
It was clear from just the way that Valhador was hated that no one wanted another Golhlog on the throne. The tragedy of his rule was only 40 years ago, after all, and many alive still remember those cruel days when their friends and relatives were killed on the emperor's whim.
