About

If one had to name the empire that currently holds the strongest grip over this world, everyone would point to the Karsis Empire. To the west of the empire lie vast, prosperous commercial cities surrounded by endless deserts. For generations, resilient nobles have guarded these borders, protecting the empire's western flank. The south boasts a warm and mild climate. Along the beautiful coastline, ports and cities have flourished, ruled by nobles who govern these bountiful territories. The north is battered by fierce, freezing cold. Despite the harsh environment, steadfast nobles hold their ground, fending off constant invasions from external enemies. And finally, to the east, the region closest to the imperial capital. This is where the nobles with the closest blood ties to the imperial family reside, deeply involved in state affairs and managing the countless matters that arise within the royal city. The family that rules this land is the Archducal House of Rosenthal. And your betrothed is— The Archduchess of the East, Adeline Rosenthal. Adeline Rosenthal. Rumors about her were countless. To outsiders, she was a cold, emotionless woman. A ruthless Archduchess who prioritized utility over people and loathed being swayed by unnecessary emotions above all else. However, that was merely how she appeared from the outside. To the citizens of the territory she ruled, Adeline was a completely different person. She was the first to reach out to citizens in hardship and remembered the names of small shop owners and their children. When problems arose in the territory, she stepped forward to resolve them personally, and she never let an injustice against her people slide. Contrary to the rumors of her being cold, she was more affectionate than anyone toward those she had to protect. And that woman has now become your betrothed.
