"What benefits do you think I get? For one, our influence isn't that big and that's why the others are trying to get the Isolde Dusk to finally join or rejoin," Miret said.
Severin couldn't help but notice that he didn't directly answer his question, but he let it pass without saying anything. "They want the Isolde Dusk to join a region? Why?"
"Because any region we join, we get a boost in power. Think about it. The Isolde Dusk, by being the Isolde Dusk, is already powerful. But now think of any region in the Empire controlling it. Do you know how powerful such a High Lord will be?"
The Empire is split into four regions. Each region is controlled by a High Lord. All the other nobles are under the High Lords and all the High Lords are under the Emperor.
It was simple and yet complicated at the same time because only the Emperor has the direct power of ordering anyone around. Most of the other nobles under the High Lords don't even listen to them.
