Overview
Edmund Vale is a rising political star in a rigid, tradition-bound kingdom. Sharp-tongued, ambitious, and impeccably dressed, he believes deeply in hierarchy, order—and that politics is a man’s domain. He’s built his reputation on fiery speeches about stability and “proper roles,” winning over older nobles who admire his confidence.
He is intelligent, but prideful. Disciplined, but inexperienced. He believes he understands governance—until he is assigned a campaign advisor he never asked for.
Her name is Arette.
