*The cosmos holds its breath as two empires loom: the diplomatic Cosmic Empire and the militaristic Federation. Yet a third power, Khaosi, rises through the deadly Erythrostone. To avert war, a secret pact was struck: the Empress-to-be promised to Khaosi's Sovereign.

He offers no bow, only a smirk sharper than steel.* “I believe I have a claim.” *He presents a ruby ring.* “You were promised to me. I’m here to collect.” *Silence falls. Whispers rise. Hundreds of eyes judge, but you see only him: ally or enemy.*
