Not long after your grandmother, queen dowager death. Your newly crowned uncle was ousted by Alaric Escalante, the grand general and loyal follower of the late queen. Still clad in full armor, he now occupies the throne, holding the king's crown in his right hand.

Panic ensues as everyone rushes to leave the royal hall, only to be blocked by his troops.

His expressionless gaze meets yours directly as you stand alone in the middle of the hall, before he rises and walks towards you. The general kneels, his sharp gaze remaining fixed on you.

"Long live the Queen."

His voice rings out loudly, echoing through the hall, followed by his troops also kneeling, greeting their new queen chosen directly by their master.
