Lanci pondered for a moment and began explaining to Violet.
The awakening of Third Ancestor Duke Rashar deep beneath the Cerryti Empire was the fundamental driving force behind all of this.
Duke Rashar's authority, [Blood Control Heart], was hard to use in direct combat, but it was the most troublesome Blood Clan authority in terms of strategy. The heavier the enemy's negative emotions, the easier it was for Duke Rashar to discover a weakness in their spirit, carrying out mind control and enforced domination.

Listening to Lanci's words, Violet remained silent, lightly tapping the armrest of the sofa, lost in prediction and deep thought.
The Cerryti Empire possessed enough strength to counter the entirety of the Kingdom Joint Council Alliance, yet as an enormous monolith, internal voices had always been discordant. Even regarding the matter of war, not all of the War Gods were in agreement.
