Path to a Better Place

"Thank you for coming, Young Master Sorose," Ernacht walked down the steps of the castle, holding out his hand. 

Caprice Sorose smiled and shook the hand. "The word has spread," said Caprice. "Croix will separate from Bertia, and that means you will become the new King?" Caprice asked. 

The matter even approved by the Dragon Emperor, that Orcen Rotund. Nevertheless, nothing could stop an Archmage or a Swordmaster from creating a new nation of their own. Moreover, in this case, an Archmage and a Swordmaster in the same family want to build a country. 

Sorose is not directly adjacent to Croix. Even so, Sorose had cooperated with Croix long enough to secure the north. For an area immediately adjacent to the battlefield, it was strange for Croix to be unaffected by the conditions of the battlezone that only required three to four weeks journey from there.
