The next day, the guest envoys from the outer kingdoms finally returned.
Of course, Ragan did not let them leave empty-handed.
He opened the imperial treasury and gifted each of them treasures worth five million Sharn as compensation.
With five to six thousand guests in total, the amount he spent reached tens of billions of Sharn.
Still, it was nothing compared to the losses the guests had suffered.
Many had lost friends, family, or even spouses because of Cassian's actions at last night's party.
The noble families were hit the hardest. Three to six of them had even been turned into demons and killed by Lyra.
As a result, their noble status was temporarily revoked, and their territories would be taken over by their respective regional rulers.
The chaos of the previous night spread rapidly through every level of society in the capital.
"Have you heard about it?"
"Do you mean the chaos that occurred during the empire's anniversary celebration? I've heard all about it."
