"I'm going to divorce empress Navier."

The resounding declaration echoed through the grand halls of the throne room, Emperor Sovieshu's words piercing the air with a weight that sent shockwaves through the gathered nobles.

Their faces contorted with a mixture of disbelief, concern, and panic, their voices rising in a cacophony of pleas and objections.

"Please reconsider your majesty."

"Your majesty, I cannot support this!"

"Your majesty!"

"it has already been decided." Sovieshu remained resolute, his countenance bearing the weight of his determination. With a grave expression etched upon his features, he stood tall, his hands clasped firmly behind his back, unwavering in his resolve.

By his side, Navier maintained her composure, seated upon her throne, a mask of neutrality concealing her inner turmoil.

"But...!"

With crossed legs and a nonchalant posture, Artemis exuded an air of indifference as her advisor's pleas fell upon deaf ears.

The advisor's worry deepened, their voice tinged with frustration as they broached the subject that had been gnawing at their thoughts. "Your grace, I must insist that the arrangement you made with Emperor Claude is proving to be a significant drain on your time and resources..."

Artemis maintained her silence, her fingers idly toying with the quill in her hand, much to the growing consternation of her advisor. The gravity of the situation seemed to elude her, and it only fueled their concern.
