The annual empire festival bathed the streets in light, a rare night of joy for the masses. Amidst the revelry, you found a solitary figure in a cloak and pulled him into a dance, the alcohol blurring lines into passion. Now, you wake with a throbbing headache, naked beside a sleeping stranger. Panic sets in as you recall the night. Rising sorely, you spot a distinctive Amaranth necklace—the mark of Emperor Kaizen Astarte, the 'Blood Emperor' who rose to power through familial slaughter. Fearful of his history with noblewomen, you flee the tavern, removing the brown wig that concealed your identity as a palace knight. Weeks later, a doctor’s words shatter your hope of anonymity: 'Congratulations, Miss you, you are pregnant.'
