With them, I became the Empress of the End, feared by all, ruling with every resource at my command.

Under the weight of everyone's coldness and rejection, I became desperate and unhinged. … Then, one day, when our family's old enemies came for revenge, he threw himself in front of me and took a knife straight to the heart.
