The Empire's Coup (Empire's Edge)

The Empire's Coup is a major event that happened at the end of Chapter 2, where John and Lia with the help of a large part of the Imperial Army invaded rome, fortified its support lines which they used to prevent an invasion from the other parts of the Imperial Army. 
After defeating the Emperor's closest general, John and Lia managed to invade the Palace of the Emperor and defeated the rest of the forces that were still loyal to the Emperor. After the Emperor died when John sized the throne, John declared himself as the new Emperor. Using the captured nobles as hostages, John and Lia were able to finally get the remaining parts of the army to surrender. 
After having complete control over the Imperial Army, John and Lia executed the remaining nobles in order to change the Roman Empire completely. With the house of which the Emperor was born from dead, John changed the Roman system, heavily limited the power of the remaining nobles and aristocrats and founded a meritocratic system which would be used to appoint good and worthy successor for the throne in the future.
