The Emperor’s Regret Outlived His Love

Lord Clalk betrays his people for a slave girl, Elara. He abandons the city’s defense to celebrate her birthday, leaving his pregnant wife, Sophia, to face a brutal enemy invasion alone. When Sophia begs for help, Clalk labels her "jealous" and locks her away. The city falls, and the survivors are slaughtered. The betrayal turns deadly when Clalk delivers a heartless kick to Sophia’s womb, killing their unborn child to hide his own cowardice. But Sophia doesn’t die. Fueled by cold rage and joined by the guilt-ridden commander Caius, she rises from the blood-soaked soil. She strips Clalk of his title and throws the traitors to the starving wolves. As the flames of revenge consume the past, Sophia stands amidst the ashes—no longer a victim, but a cold-blooded ruler born from sacrifice.
