?Chapter 1047: Chapter 534: The last 200 words need to be modified_2 Chapter 1047: Chapter 534: The last 200 words need to be modified_2 “What about the Emperor’s direct territories?” Ivita asked about the matter that concerned him most; the Emperor did have direct territories within the Empire, and whoever became the Emperor would have the right to obtain these imperial lands.

However, Emperors of successive Holy Empires, in order to gain the support of the elector-princes, had kept selling their privileges and territories. This had led to the imperial territories becoming almost irrelevant.

This was mainly because the Imperial Emperors had long been attracted by the elusive name of the Empire, not only going to the Boot Peninsula to be crowned in the birthplace of Ancient Civilization but even attempting to reclaim the Boot Peninsula and confront the wealthy states there.

With such indecisive actions of successive Emperors, who focused their attention on foreign lands rather than on their own country, it was natural that their power declined. By the time the Emperors realized what had happened, it had already become a fait accompli.

“The spread of nationalist ideas by the Frankish people… One nation, one state, has torn the Emperor’s direct territories, those duchies, apart,” said the King of the Ancient Tomb.

“After the death of the Emperor, those nations forcibly united by a single Emperor began to demand independence, possibly fragmenting into over a dozen nations. The narrative structure of the nation-state is destroying the Empire.”

“With the death of the Emperor, the Emperor’s direct territories were the first to suffer. Even if we managed to reclaim the Emperor’s direct territories later, it is feared the land and population would be decimated to a mere tenth of what it was during Oyo III’s reign, and we could never return to the situation as it once was.”

Although Ivita had anticipated this, seeing the situation turn out as such, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“Frankish troops are still rampaging within the Empire’s borders, having launched attacks on four kingdoms. The Electors don’t want to choose me, but they can only choose me. They don’t have the luxury to think.”
