The next day...
Following up on what he had discussed with Willow the day before, Minos spoke with envoys from the continent's powers, using a softer, more peaceful tone than when he had taken over Veora.
Meanwhile, Queen Sista was working to soften the blow to Minos' image, having already begun to change the story of what had happened in Veora so that the truly important people would understand Emperor Stuart's mentality.
Amid this, the nobles of Veora were already meeting to create the local assembly, appoint representatives, and begin to follow the new local laws.
The state would continue to function as it had until recently for now. But sooner or later, changes would transform this society, and the laws of the Black Plain Empire would apply locally.
Those most interested in adapting to the changes that would take place began to study the Black Plain Empire's legal code. That was the first step toward avoiding future problems with the Dry City government!
