In a secluded study within the Royal Palace, Andrea silently eyed the leather scrolls piled before her.
There was no time to hold a grand funeral for Theseus—in fact, on the one hand, such customs did not yet exist in Athens at the time, and on the other, Theseus had not left a body behind.
So, having just experienced a parting, the urgent task that Andrea needed to address was the conquest of the City of Eryxis, which had also declared its independence as the Eryxis Kingdom.

Merely giving speeches could motivate the people but would not convince the aristocrats and high-ranking professionals to follow her.
Therefore, she needed a victory, one that would unite the hearts of Athenians by avenging the former King.
Only then would she have the power to resist when facing the various troubles that were surely coming.
