The confrontation among the four Saintesses ( or rather, three Empresses and one distinguished prisoner) took place in a private strategy chamber adjacent to the Imperial Throne Room.
Aria Stormsong, now designated as the Empress of War, stood before Seraphina and Lilith, her gold-armored presence dominating the room. Evelina Frostheart sat quietly on a bench in the corner, like a neutral observer. Her expression was icy indifference.
Seraphina, the First Empress, addressed Aria first, her tone respectful yet suspicious.
"Sister Aria, your sudden change of allegiance is... monumental. Vahn trusts your decision, and we trust Vahn. But you spent months fighting against him. Can you truly expect us to believe that a single conversation shifted your lifelong commitment to the Righteous Faction?"
