After sending the message, the secretary stood and walked through the empty office to the closet to collect her coat before heading home for the day. There were tears in her eyes. The Emperor had been found dead in his bed that morning. The office would be closed until a new Emperor was proclaimed. And that was going to be no easy task.

 

There was Field Marshall Li'akan. He was the highest-ranking member of the military. With such a powerful force behind him, he was nearly unstoppable.

 

There was the Emperor's nephew. He might make a play for the throne from his current seat as Europtima's Emperor. Although Europtima was not as powerful as Vanarambaion, he did have a certain following among Europtiman nationals in Vanarambaion.

 

There was the Emperor's brother-in-law, the Prince of Akiiryu. Though unlikely to make a play for the throne and risk losing his hold on Akiiryu, anything was still possible at this early date.

 

There was Ardal Dunsinaine, cardinal of the Church of Vanarambaion. Not only was he an influential cardinal, but his family had ties to the military establishment dating back from the Phillian invasion of Vanarambaion during the Tamurin Civil War.

 

And there was always the possibility of strange terrorist organization taking over, like what seemed to be happening in Upper Strathyclyde.

 

It was going to be a long time until this place opens up, the secretary thought as she flipped off the light switch.
