"So this is the library," I said as I entered the last room, with the walls lined up with thousands and thousands of books. Coming to this place is quite like a dream come true for every book lover. And the same principle falls for me.
"I must regain my memory!" I said with extra spirit, while I actually want to get as much information about this world as possible.
"That's the spirit, milady! I must help you any way possible!" Emily, who was standing behind, cheered with the same energy.
"Okay, then you can leave me alone. Also bring my lunch or snacks here!" I said walking further into the library.
"Huh?" Emily tilted her head.
"Go on now~" I said, not looking back as I pulled out random books from the shelves.
"Milady!" Emily complained and whined until I pushed her out of the library.
"Finally some peace and quiet,"

Starting off with the Alastria and its history, with the help of the librarian I was able to gather all the books about Alastria which was at least more than a 100 books, and just so I don't kill myself, the elderly librarian only gave me 20 books to read. Well, even 20 books are a lot.
Alastria, is a very large empire. Consisting of about 45 small kingdoms and 23 larger kingdoms, alongside with Alastria's own territory it's quite a bit. Even though many of the kingdoms are really small and almost the size of one city, the larger kingdoms are almost the same size as Alastria's original territory. As all this was hard for the Emperor to manage on his own, the whole of Alastria was divided into 17 sections. Having a few selected nobles under each section to oversee the matters of that section. Every matter regarding Alastria and its territories are discussed in the council meeting which is held once in every 2 months, all the nobles who take part in the politics, military and other matters of the council are required to join.
Both the Emperor and the crown prince take part in the council meeting. After the royal family, there are two Grand Duke families who are mostly direct or indirect descendants of the royal family. But in the current timeline of the novel, only one Grand Duke is present, while the other position is empty. After the Royal family and the grand Duke territory, come the four Dukes of the empire. The Esmeray Dukedom, the Adarlan Dukedom, the Idanlena Dukedom and the Rhiannon Dukedom.
The four duke families stand as four pillars of the empire as the largest territories of the 17 territories are given to them. Alongside the Zehava Grand dukedom, the Esmeray duchy has the largest military force. It's been almost 7 to 8 years since the Esmeray duchy surpassed the Zehava Grand duke, in terms of military force and skills.
Aside from the two families which support the empire by military force, the Adarlan dukedom has been true to their title as 'the wise' and 'the thinker'. The Adarlan not only helped with the empire making wise decisions for itself, they also made decisions for the people of the empire. Helping the Emperor make the empire a better place with their wisdom is what keeps the empire going and makes it grow so large.
