“How… how do I do this...?” I asked slowly, a grin spreading across my face, and Romanus started to grin in response.
“You issue a proclamation, that’s all; like you did when you Declared War on Barabarattas.” he explained, and I searched Oracle’s eyes questioningly, grinning when she nodded in confirmation. I closed my eyes and whispered to myself, “Oh, this is going to be awesome…”
I concentrated, and I felt her guiding me, pushing my attention to the side, where there seemed to be a space, a sort of blank area hovering before my mind’s eye. I could feel the notifications buzzing for my attention, but I ignored them and instead reached out, pouring my intent into the space. I could feel Oracle making slight adjustments, altering it from my normal speech to a more formal, dignified one, suitable for this purpose.
“Seems a bit pretentious?” I mumbled, reading it over, but Oracle disagreed, her rich, throaty laugh washing over me as she finished editing it, and I felt her asking without words for permission to send it.
With no reason to postpone, I wordlessly agreed, and my vision was assaulted by a new box that opened without my permission as mana was torn from me.
The prompt was black as pitch, encased in a golden scrollwork-covered frame, the letters pulsing in golden smoke that flowed to form words:
Attention, Citizens of The Territory of Dravith!
Lord Jax, Imperial Scion, Master of the Great Tower, and High Lord of Dravith, today and effective immediately, revokes the title of High Lord Barabarattas, stripping him of lordship of the City of Himnel, all additional titles, and possessions, and declares him outlaw.
Let no citizen offer the criminal Barabarattas succor, lest their titles be stripped from them and their lives declared forfeit.
All Hail Lord Jax of Dravith!
I read it, hearing indrawn gasps from others around me as everyone saw the same message, then I sat back, waiting. I was somewhat surprised I’d not received a message in response to my actions, like I had last time.
After several seconds, I pulled up my notifications and read through them, wondering if it had been subsumed into that location by mistake.
Warning! You have activated an Imperial Ability, but without sufficient authority, and now you must pay the price!
All stats have been permanently reduced by two points, and your body has been damaged in ways small and profound. Think carefully before you overreach again.
“What the hell?” I growled, feeling Oracle slip into my mind to examine the notification. Her shock at the high price pierced sharply through my brain. The act had literally cost me nearly three levels, at two points off each of my ten stats. I growled in fury, but I also acknowledged the little voice in the back of my head that had seen the slaves freed of their bonds, and I knew I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Just… maybe not today.
I pulled up my stat sheet and double checked, grumbling under my breath as I saw the damage.
