(Oh, no, you misunderstood! It's not necessarily another war declaration, it's just that the Dragon king has made a very provocative suggestion for all nations to unite under his power. Exact conditions as to what that means for each kingdom have not been revealed yet, but all other nations are flabbergasted/amused/disbelieving/shocked about it right now. It's not an official war declaration yet.
By the way, may I add another kingdom or some non-royal character or something? I want to play a dude, too. Really missed playing male characters. Please, lemme :P)
