"Duke Obadiah this—this is—" one man turned towards Obadiah, pointing at the body in the box, not knowing how exactly to compose his words.
Duke Obadiah, seeing everyone of them now for sure knew the emperor was dead, finally spoke up again, "Fear not, for the rightful ruler of Azroth has returned."
"Duke Obadiah!" A man older than most of the others in the room yelled out his name with fury in his eyes.
"Please, allow me to introduce to you all, the one and only true Thaddeus blood, the only supreme Emperor of Cazroth… His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Cassius Zadok of the old house of Thaddeus!"
With those words, the door where Obadiah had come through opened once again and in came a man whose presence instantly drew all attention.
His tall and huge frame made it clear that he was a warrior. The hardness of his face showed that he had spent a lot of time in battle.
