Thanks to Tuo Anna, before the expedition began, Bi'an had to attend an emergency meeting convened by the current Pope.
On the white glass of the domed cathedral was a long sword representing justice and order, and beneath the dome sat a square table with six people dressed in various attires. Bi'an, as the current Kingdom Army Commander appointed by His Majesty Henry, attended the meeting as a council member.
The Sevenfold Council is an honored tradition left by the first King, intended to allow him to hear voices from various fields, enabling decisions more beneficial to the Empire's future.
The seven representatives come from the most influential seven areas concerning the Empire.
The Church, the Nobility, the Commerce Guild, the Academy, the Astrology Association, the Judicial Court, and the military side represented by Bi'an.
