What had happened today ecbf64aa53 with the court maids 67b7628575 was a clear reflection 6cefaea8a3 of the Empire’s prejudice 343babb67b and discrimination against Trovancha.5d19fc1f8adc7d13
If Trovancha mocked 06e3c962a7 the Empire as a41fc9fc6a nouveau riche or b2d99cbc62 warmongers, the Empire 71b73c6b82 retaliated by calling 309875d731 them barbarians.37ff351255ad06e3
