There is nothing permanent in this world. It was as natural as a flower blooming and dying - it was nature’s providence. 

Even Adenburg, once called the Eternal Empire, couldn’t avoid nature’s providence.

The Empire enjoyed peace without any wars for 400 years. And those 400 years were enough to dull the keen insight of the monarchs and erode the loyalty of the Grand Dukes of the vassal countries.
