The Emperor has ordered the house arrest of multiple senior Prince and Princess as well as a collection of political figures on the grounds of suspected plotting to overthrow or undermine the authority of Emperor Louis XVI. The Prime Minister fully backs the move and his cabinet has largely been spared. This is likely the start of the Emperors governance proper, as this kind of reshuffle usually happens after the coronation and often in a much more softer fashion. Multiple sitting members of Parliament have been removed and arrested over breaches of lèse-majesté. The complete submission of Parliament, Nobility and the Judiciary to the Emperor leaves him as the sole power of significance in Roylaii.
Long live the Emperor! Long live Roylaii!

He has signed numerous revisions to the Constitution granting him extensive powers in the Executive, Judiciary and legislature including the ability to veto legislation. While there was significant... disruption at the Imperial palace in recent times, the Emperor would like assure the public that everything has worked out in Roylaii's favour even with the interruptions caused by foreign nationals. The Emperor has announced the re-introduction of democratic elections and a revised electoral role where the largest parties have been merged into the Imperial Party. A collection of extremist parties have also been banned.

"Roylaii looks forward earnestly to its co-operation with many nations, especially the Nationale Republik. Roylaii remains strong upon the world stage. Today The Evergreen Republic offered me a mutual deferens pact, an offer i was honoured to accept. Roylaii remains committed to supporting its allies on the continent and its friends abroad. Our forces still support the troops of Corry Jakalo, the rightful leader of our most valued and erstwhile ally Minuvano. With overwhelming airpower and armour we will push the enemy back into the sea. We will emerge victorious! VIVE!"

The ambassador from Denis Pavel, an outspoken critic of Roylaii's considered entry into the Northern War, has been assassinated. The culprit gained access through the third floor window and easily disposed of the guards to then kill the ambassador. Investigation has already begun.
The Roylaiian Prime Minister has released a statement: "The loss of his Excellency is a sorrowful event and our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the ambassador. We would like to assure the government of Denis Pavel and of other nations with embassies in the Serene Empire that every most precaution is being taken to protect your staff and representatives and that we will not rest until the culprit is found"

Holy war!
The sacred grove and the holy sites are under threat! The great and wise Emperor as Supreme Pontiff of Votixve and descendant of the Prophet himself has declared a holy war for Aquitania, of which parts now sit under foreign control. All who are righteous of faith are to take up arms against the unholy invaders and to die fighting in this great holy war shall grant paradise above!
A holy war has not been called since the re-unification era over 1000 years ago. The heartland is under threat once more and only the bravest of souls can save us now.
