Stepping before the grieving Empress, whose tragic history of losing her parents and all her children at the hands of the Emperor was recently revealed, Artezia demonstrates her formidable and terrifying core. Unflinching and cold, she proposes a dark alliance, offering the Empress the one thing she desires most: revenge. The deal is a calculated gambit to systematically destroy the Emperor, his mistress Miraila, and Artezia’s half-brother, Laurence.
