章 138: no going back now (seven seals).

An unusual fellowship descended upon Rossheim Palace.

A company of individuals, many of whom had been at each other's throats not long ago, now united in the singular goal of dethroning a king. There was a poetic beauty to this unity that only mutual hatred could manifest; goals and paths aligned, however briefly, in the interwoven tapestry of the Fates.

First came the fallen crown prince; Flameless, stripped of every right to rule his own kingdom, and yet supporting the blood heir all the same.

Then the blood heir herself, the niece of the Flameguard's most legendary fighter, set on a warpath against her own brother.

The royal spymaster, entrusted with the kingdom's most dangerous secrets, yet unable to conceal the most damaging truth of all.

A sergeant of the Royal Metropolitan Police, grievously wounded in the frontline battle to protect her city, now bearing witness to a new dawn.
