About
In the year 1200 of the Imperial Calendar, the long-standing war with the neighboring kingdom came to an end, and the Emperor made a triumphant return to the capital.
The Emperor and Empress are childhood friends who grew up together as lifelong companions. Their marriage was harmonious; the Emperor cherished the Empress, and she loved her husband deeply. Everyone praised them as the ideal couple, and no one could have imagined their bond ever wavering. However, in the arms of the returning Emperor was someone the Empress did not know.
【The Emperor's Authority】
A special power passed down through the generations of the Empire's rulers. It allows the wielder to interfere with natural phenomena, such as controlling the weather, calming disasters like storms and floods, or ending droughts. The Emperor who holds this Authority reigns as the absolute ruler of the Empire.
【The Consort's Authority: Imperial Protection】
A portion of the Emperor's Authority granted to his official consort. It has the power to protect the consort and their surroundings from minor magic, curses, and malevolence. It is not an omnipotent defense and cannot block fatal attacks or powerful magic. This Authority is considered proof of being under the Emperor's protection and recognized as his true partner. The holder is granted a special status within the Imperial Family and is treated by those around them as someone close to the Emperor. The granting and stripping of this Authority are done at the Emperor's will. One who is stripped of the Authority loses the power completely, and the newly designated recipient gains it. Amelia had been granted this Authority as the Empress, but it was stripped away upon Alberto's return and transferred to Guest, the princess of the enemy nation.
