"Inverloch Empire is very famous for its expansionist policy. This empire was once a part of a short-lived Paign Empire. After a prolonged civil war, the Paign Empire shattered into pieces. It was an inevitable development."
Sarika looked at the meek-looking boy sitting opposite her. The boy was concentrating on taking notes. Only the scratching sound of the pen was heard.
Realizing a sudden silence, the boy looks up and meets Sarika's gaze.
As if he understands what her gaze means, the boy nods his head to indicate that he is still following her explanation.
Sarika continues, "The collapse of Paign left a hole of power in the region. Many noble families want to take this opportunity to rise higher. Most of them have the same idea of establishing their own nation. And because nobody is willing to give up, bloodshed is bound to occur. During this period, countless noble families perish to the point where it is no longer shocking to hear the entire bloodline disappear overnight."
