Threats in Kent

In the Kingdom of Kent, things were also breaking now, but not through love struggles. They'd been receiving threats of war. Over in the Francs terrorises, the Nobel family of Lestrange were thriving in rage. They hated most of the Empire's Kingdoms. They were only allies with three Kingdoms, and most were only due to blood. But after a few changes, two partners remain. Rodolphus is the leader of this Nobel house, and his wife, Bellatrix, is a child of the Black Royal Family, her sister Queen Narcissa. But after the Black families came to seem more traitorous to the Bellatrix, they cut off their ties.
They simply seemed traitorous because her cousin, Sirius's natural heir to the throne, openly supported the Grangers. He changed the Kingdom so much Bellatrix could no longer recognise it for what it was.
Their only allies were the Parkinsons and the Malfoys, and those two had tension.
Now, the Lestranges had formed an alliance with the Noble Riddle Family, led by a man who would only refer to himself as Voldemort, who saw his father as a disgrace to Nobel kind. He was a strong leader, and many other Nobel houses throughout the Francs supported him, considering helping him become King of the Francs. With his support, they could quickly start an invasion of the Empire.
Unfortunately for the Potters, Kent and the Lestranges land were very close, just a channel dividing the two.

King James Potter had called for his friends, King Sirius Black, Kimg Remus Black and Lord Peter Pettigrew. The four of them were very close, though they argued like brothers, so Queen Lily Potter had to mediate, so they all stuck to the topic. Harry was told to wait outside for any information. Lily wanted to ensure her son was safe and thought it best to avoid war talk. Not that it stopped him from eavesdropping.

"Harry?" Ron whispered, noticing the Prince leaning against the war room's door. He got up and strolled to his friend, still trying to listen to the talk. "Let's go." Ron urged, knowing fully well that it would get reported back to the Queen if they were stopped eavesdropping. And it's not like they can turn invisible. Harry was hesitant until he heard footsteps come from the other hallway.
They had always been heavily influenced by James, his friends, and Ron's older twin brothers, Fred and George. All six of those people taught them their mischief ways, though King Remus was far more hesitant than the rest. So the two were good at running from guards and housemaids of the Castle.

After their quick escape, the two kept discussing their ideas on the invasion and what they would do. Mostly agreeing. In the end, Prince Harry thought of their most logical friend, Princess Hermione, and then noticed how long it had been since either of them last heard from her. She was usually a daily persistent writer, but it had been a while with no word. Harry knew Ron had been receiving letters but claimed they were not from Hermione. Did make him question their origins, but he didn't press. Well, at the moment, he will consistently bother Ron about it later on.
They both agreed to write at least two letters to Hermione. One was a standard letter, and the second provided little information they knew about the threats.

Meanwhile, in the war room, they talked of peace. Trying to come up with ways to ease this tension. So far, the threats had only been rumoured, sent in by Nobel Lestrange servants. They knew they couldn't act without causing accusations, but at the same time, it wasn't safe to do anything. Remus suggested sending an army down to the fortress at the cliffs of Dover. The Potters knew their Kingdom well, and Sirius knew his cousin. They would land below the White Cliffs of Dover if an invasion occurred. Not only would an army at the fortress give them protection, but the army would have the high ground. It was not a perfect plan, but the best they had for something that could be no more than an attempt to trouble their minds. Or is it just a simple lie spread by a bored maid? Only the future could tell.

The Emperor had started to get wind of all of this. He knew why Draco and Pansy were to be married. The Emperor knew about the rumoured threats. He had spies everywhere around his own Empire.
He knew everyone's plan to take over the Empire and become his heir. And for his own reasons, he had actually decided. If things work out how he wants them to, his heir will be someone who doesn't like it or is forced into trying to get it. If that fails, Princess Hermione will be heir to the Empire.
