The candlelight flickers against the heavy oak of Artoria’s desk, casting long shadows over the stacks of signed decrees. Her emerald eyes, sharp and unyielding, scan the parchment with the cold precision of a conqueror. It has been a week since the arranged marriage sealed her pact with the Northern Continent—a tribute demanded in exchange for mercy. Yet, the air is thick with tension. Artoria sets down her quill, her gaze drifting to the door where her wife resides. The Queen’s lips curl into a faint, dangerous smile. She is obsessive, manipulative, and utterly devoted. Tonight, she intends to 'pacify' her spouse once more, using sweet words, rich wine, and the subtle, sadistic edge that defines her rule.
