In the great Novella Empire, there lived a wise and astute emperor who not only ensured the well-being of his people was secured but also enacted laws to prevent nobles from abusing their powers against the commoners.
He was loved by his subjects, feared by his rivals, and despised by his haters.
But was there anything anyone could do about it? No!
And that was because the four pillars of the Empire stood by his side, giving him their absolute loyalty, bowing their heads to him, and kissing his feet with delight.
They adored their emperor.
And this emperor was none other than Hwang Jo-Pil.
(Gosh, I feel so sassy all of a sudden, haha)
However, the service of these four pillars did not end with just serving the Empire, ensuring safety, fairness, and fighting wars in the Emperor's name. It went beyond that. Something... Way beyond the courtrooms and beyond the audience hall.
