"THE MURDEROUS EMPEROR! He killed my one and only beloved son! GET OUT OF THE WAY! Where is your justice?! HEARTLESS BASTARDS! HOW COULD SUCH A CRUEL TYRANT BECOME EMPEROR AND ASCEND THE THRONE?! WHY WASN'T IT YOU WHO DIED INSTEAD?"
V didn't know what was happening; her footsteps echoed loudly as she rushed out of the main palace corridor, hearing various curses, rage, and hysterical cries breaking out in the western palace courtyard.
Upon exiting the main palace door, V witnessed a husband and wife being held back by Kalzarin, attempting to calm their wrath—they screamed hysterically, full of hatred and vengeance, trying to push their way in, yet the line of Kalzarin's knights was not easily breached.
V had no choice but to confront them directly. Their piercing screams rang out, heard throughout the palace—demanding the Emperor take responsibility for his crimes.
What did they say? Ares killed their son? Who are they actually? Vividly, they are not nobility.
