Yes. Recently appointed. ... well, in my world I was. I've been here over a year so I suppose it's not so recent to me anymore.

[Timey whimey stuff. Always fun.]

If it's any consolation, it's rare in Ilyccia for anyone to be appointed as young as I was, but the previous emperor died unexpectedly and there was a ten year period where the council was mostly in charge along with the Commandant of the Royal Knights before I was even old enough to be considered.
