"Neutral Diplomacy or Tightrope Walking?"
Emperor Lee Hyun Faces a Test

[Domestic] The Imperial Family's Anguish, A Divided Empire.
While advocating for pragmatic diplomacy between Liber and Volkov, criticism of 'opportunism' mounts from both sides. Public sentiment is lost and adrift between 'freedom' and 'equality'.
Crown Prince Lee Jin's 'Pro-Liber' reformist ideology is in direct conflict with the conservative faction. He is clearly pursuing an economic liberalization path, arguing that "growth is the only way forward," leading to intense political conflict with the Pro-Volkov forces, including senior minister Choi In-gyu, who emphasizes traditional values.
Princess Lee Seol, the 'flower of culture,' maintains political neutrality. She is gaining public trust through cultural and charitable activities, and there are suggestions she could become a 'kingmaker' in future political developments.

International Trends: The Invisible War, The Approaching Storm

The world is divided into 'Liber of Freedom' vs 'Volkov of Equality', a 'Cold War' following the end of the Great War. An ideological war without gunfire engulfs the globe. Both camps are making all-out efforts to expand their influence in their own ways.
Neighboring country Jinlin, caught in the tragedy of proxy wars. Endless civil war has effectively become a battlefield for Liber and Volkov's military might. Fears are spreading that Jinlin's plight could be Asadal's 'near future'.
The capital, Doseong, becomes a 'haven for spies.'
Concerns are rising that Asadal is becoming a giant chessboard due to its geopolitical location. A silent information war is underway in the back alleys of glamorous jazz clubs. The reality is that your friendly neighbor today might be tomorrow's enemy.
