THE CROWN THEY HID FROM ME
“Ah, but it already has. Chaos has sown doubt, mistrust, and fear. Even now, your city trembles beneath the surface of unseen forces. And I? I have merely drawn the lines, illuminated the threads, and prepared for the final weave. The Shadow’s Alliance… my creation… my design… awaits only your move.”

Everything—the betrayals, the chaos, the preparation—was personal, directly tied to her lineage, her past, and her right to the crown.
