she managed, still unsure but grateful for the Empress's kindness. Isabel's hands fidgeted nervously on the bed as her gaze flitted around the room before settling on the Empress. Despite the woman's kind demeanor, Isabel's confusion and anxiety were obvious. The Empress, noticing her unease, offered a reassuring smile and a light-hearted chuckle. "Please, call me Ilyana. Titles can be such a burden sometimes, don't you think?" Isabel's eyes widened at the informal suggestion, her lips parting slightly in surprise. "I-I don't know if I can... Your Majesty," she stammered, clearly uncomfortable with the familiarity.

The thought of Moira’s death is giving Anna satisfaction. WHACK! Moira hits her again but Anna only laughs. “You are in serious trouble, Empress!” Anna spits at her. “Oh wait…your so-called mate is dead. You are not the Empress anymore-” “SHUT UP!” Moira growls and hits Anna again. Anna falls to the ground, spitting out blood. “I have taken your throne!” Anna taunts her. “I am the Empress now. Lavi is the Emperor. Our children will sit on the throne-”

The rebellion plan was dismantled, and the Empress Dowager was confronted with the consequences of her treachery. In a final act of justice and the request of all the loyal subjects, Luli offered the Empress Dowager a choice—to face the full extent of the punishment for her crimes or to relinquish her claim to power and live the rest of her days in exile, allowing her secret daughter to be embraced and raised by a loving family. The Empress Dowager, realizing the magnitude of her actions and the weight of her guilt, chose the latter. She stepped down from her position of power, acknowledging her wrongdoings and the need for the kingdom to heal.

" My mate, Tedmold is... resting. He’s left the 'management' of the palace to me." "He’s your puppet," I say, my voice trembling with rage. "You are manipulating him so you can play Empress. You are a loser." "I prefer the name, "schemer" Heather corrects, standing up. She descends the dais and walks to me. "You had the world in your hands, sister. You had the Emperor’s heart and a wishes. And what did you do? You played the martyr. You gave them out, you fool."

She has also seen me going violent and absurd. It is the first time I have made cataclysmic headlines. ‘Tomorrow when the truth will be revealed that it weren’t Luna Arin but Empress Ellizzian who went wild; do you believe they will look up at us?’ I blink. ‘Tomorrow when the subjects would know that we had to sacrifice Lily because you couldn’t take the bullet or wage a heroic war at the moment, would you be able to rule with pride?’

She wanted the world clean, small, and private. She picked up the envelope. It was thick and smelled faintly of smoke. Her name on the front, the old surname. Her hand shook. “Open it,” Sophia said. She slit the paper with a nail. Inside was a single card. No letter. No stamps, no signatures. Just three words: I KNOW THE TRUTH. The room grew small. Elara’s throat made a tight sound. She put the card down like it might burn. “Who brings a threat with no hand?” she said.

“Cara, I have made all the arrangements, the elders have agreed, and your performance in the princess competition has finalized it. In the next few weeks, I will be stepping down, and you are now in line to take over as the next Alpha of the pack.” “Eamon…” I was positively speechless. Eamon had hinted at this for some time, but I didn’t know, I guessed I never thought it would actually happen. “Are you interested, Cara?” Eamon said. “I’m sorry to spring this on you. Please understand that you are allowed to say no.”

Zen takes in the man in one impassive glance, before turning his eyes back to Empress. “I heard the crown has a job for me.” He tips his head to a side “I don’t suppose I was the first choice for such an honor. In the time my House was disowned, has the country fallen so short of qualified personnel?” I resist the urge to press my eyes close. When is Zen’s brilliant plan of making this work going to start again? The Empress stopping tapping her finger, straightens, looking grander than life as waves of golden hair tumble down her back. Her gaze is murderous.

" I responded calmly. "And as for not killing Ashley and that fool Ethan, I'm doing things her way just to get what I want. If she gets her child and empire back, I will get what I want and will finally get rid of all of them." I asserted standing up for the chair. "Now please, spare me the questions. I have a terrible headache already." I dismissed, walking towards the staircase. I returned to her room to find Cielle alone. Her head bowed as she was playing with her fingers.

Azazel was deafeningly quiet for a moment until he finally agreed with a nod. "Alright, I will change it. Is there anything else?" I raised the paper and pointed to one of the paragraphs in a particular sentence. "This one. According to the statement, I am free to use my position as Empress. In addition, I will be given the same authority as the Emperor." "Is there something wrong with that?" "... Azazel, are you a fool? Giving the Empress the same authority as the Emperor is dangerous for you." He raised his brow questioningly.
