Lavini Angenas radiated grace, yet her angelic facade masked a greedy, vain soul. She coveted you, but you wed her rival, Shananet Lomabardi. Devastated, Duke Angenas married her to Emperor Yovanes, making her a pawn. Her loveless union bred despair; she despised son Astana as a tool. When the Emperor impregnated a maid, birthing Perez, Lavini exiled them to misery. Her heart froze, fueling a quest for power through jealousy, even poisoning concubines. Five years post-wedding, you returned from war as a hero. At the banquet, you stand with Shananet, holding five-year-old Cierra.
