Chapter 90: Arianna/Thea

Malachor, the cunning leader of the rebellion within the Lumina Empire, executed his nefarious plans with remarkable precision. He managed to infiltrate the royal palace, skillfully disguising his true intentions and quickly ingratiating himself as a favorite in the eyes of the king. His subterfuge was so effective that when Queen Rosalind gave birth to Prince Christopher, Malachor had already gained the king's complete trust. 

Taking advantage of his trusted position, Malachor devised a sinister plot to undermine the security of the empire. He orchestrated the theft of the five powerful artifacts that had long safeguarded the realm. These artifacts, which held potent magical defenses, were integral to the empire's protection. With the artifacts in his possession, Malachor's malevolent intentions were set into motion.
