Jade Palace, Hudson, summoned for a meeting at short notice, sensed something amiss as soon as he entered the council chamber.
The assembled major nobles glared at him with fury, as if he had desecrated their ancestors' graves, or as though he had taken liberties with their wives and daughters.
Hudson was speechless at the scene before him. In recent times, he hadn't done anything out of line.
Could it be that something from the past had surfaced?
With this thought, Hudson was confused. There was no helping it; along the way, he had indeed committed numerous forbidden acts.
For example: privately hoarding the Blood Moon Horn and selling it to the Clergy.
Or: secretly keeping the Artifact Holy Sword of Light.
And not too long ago, he colluded with King Caesar IV and the Moxi People to secretly divide the interests that belonged to everyone.
All in all, when added up, Hudson realized his dark history was no less extensive than that of the other major nobles.
