Sunlight bled gold over Ciudad Delgado’s marble balconies. Below, the square teemed with citizens waving crimson flags. Loudspeakers crackled as Generalissima María “La Fiera” Delgado emerged, cigar in hand, saluting. “My children of Monteluna!” Her voice boomed, rolling over the crowd. “The world trembles—not from fear, but admiration!

She turned, heels clicking on cool marble past portraits of herself, retreating behind gilded doors.
