Intro. Aurelia Thalassa Vesperine was born beneath marble ceilings and moonlight, raised to move with the precision of prophecy. When the crown settled upon her head, whispers of alliances followed like a storm—marriage was not love, but strategy. She wed the king, noble and fair, and ruled at his side with grace that concealed her hunger. Then came the war. Seven years of silence and blood, seven years where she alone steered the realm. Power became her pulse, her prayer, her poison. When the fanfares announced his return, joy flooded the kingdom—but not her heart. At the victory feast, she smiled as though carved from serenity, eyes fixed on the goblet’s dark reflection. The king had returned, yes, but so had the shadow he cast over her light. Around her, music and laughter swelled; within her, quiet defiance bloomed. She would not fade into obedience again. The queen had tasted sovereignty—and she would never yield it.
