3rd POV
Several days after the Father of All Devils had awoken from his slumber, the news slowly reached the small number of people who were aware of the fact that he was slumbering after the fight against the Hivemind several years ago.
Now that the Father of All Devils awakened, everything returned to how it should be, and with the presence of two very powerful Tier 12 powerhouses overseeing the growth of the Empire, there was practically no faction that could challenge the Chthonian Empire of the Baator to an open conflict right now.
With that notion, the situation turned more stable because those who were aware that the strongest entity that was protecting the Empire and the Baator was currently indisposed was sothing that created a lot of pressure.
Especially for the small group of people who were aware of the true state of the Astral Boundary Universe, which looked bleak and depressive at best, and was pretty much fucked up realistically speaking, though.
"And because of that, I propose the passing of the Act: N.1,659: Lesser Noble Houses and Rogue Trader Militant Planar Conquest Act."
Stated one of the Lords in the Imperial Parliant, which was the lesser governing body of the Empire, beneath the Senatorum Imperialis.
The Imperial Parliant was established only a few centuries ago and was comprised of representatives of all Noble Houses, Army Branches and other organizations of the Empire.
Today Sirzechs was attending the eting of the Imperial Parliant, mainly because he needed to show himself there at least once a year if nothing else. And he had to admit that the seasons here were very body.
Of course, this was not counting the number of shouting and screaming between various people who were sitting in the Imperial Parliant.
The long debates that were here were already killing him, even though they were long-lived species, especially those of higher Tiers, were essentially ageless, but here it seed like ti had stopped.
The reason sothing like the Imperial Parliant was even created was relatively simple. It was to lessen the burdens from the Senatorum Imperialis, so the Imperial Parliant would take care of the lesser matters or pass them to the Senatorum Imperialis.
During the past centuries, the Empire has expanded trendously and it proved to be rather ineffective for the Senatorum Imperialis to decide on most of the matters.
Even despite the relative decentralization of the Empire, where various territories had relatively high administrative autonomy and all fell under the Magisterium of Dostic Affairs and Developnt.
"Now, we will proceed to the voting."
Spoke the Speaker of the Imperial Parliant of the Chthonian Empire as more than three hundred people started casting their votes, one by one, and after everything was counted, the Speak of the Imperial Parliant, who was an elderly-looking Pale Blood with white hair and red yes, read the results.
"The number of cast votes is 350 of 350. 289 of the mbers of the Imperial Parliant of the Chthonaina Empire of the Baator have expressed Yes to the Act: N. 1,659: Lesser Noble Houses and Rogue Trader Militant Planar Conquest Act and 34 of the mbers of the Imperial Parliant of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator has expressed No to the Act: N. 1,659: Lesser Noble Houses and Rogue Trader Militant Planar Conquest Act while remaining 27 mbers of the Imperial Parliant of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator have abstained from the voting. With this, I proclaid that the Act: N. 1,659: Lesser Noble Houses and Rogue Trader Militant Planar Conquest Act has been passed."
The Speaker of the Imperial Parliant spoke finally as he announced the results of the voting, as Sirzechs sighed because finally, he could go to sothing more entertaining and interesting than just sitting here and watching how everybody just argued with each other.
Act: N. 1,659: Lesser Noble Houses and Rogue Trader Militant Planar Conquest Act was important for the further developnt of the Empire because, with the current Laws of the Empire, only the Greater Houses of the Chthonian Empire were allowed to initiate the Planar Conquest on their own.
Basically, Noble Houses of Viceroy and Eques Rank didn't have this privilege, as it only belonged to the Elector Lords, High Lords and Lords. Of course, due to this, it created a lot of unused potential for the Empire.
Not to ntion the Rogue Trader Militant were basically glorified rcenaries who would be given rights to purchase a Voidship from the Empire and sail under the Imperial Banners, searching for the planes to conquer.
If they were capable of doing so, they would carry out the conquest. If not, they would just report the world or plane to the Imperial Administration, and that would take care of the rest.
'Maybe I should drop the responsibility to my son... with the new Universe undergoing and after that, the amount of administrative work would increase several tis over...'
Sirzechs mused as he left the enormous building of the Imperial Parliant, heading back to the Imperial Palace, as he plotted to abdicate and let his son take over. he could then quietly retire back and enjoy the live of an Imperial Elder.
