Emilia Phil Zalbveil was in prison.

The cheers echoing from outside indicated that her parents and brother had been executed.

The Zalbveil family, a prestigious house second only to the imperial household in the Feldmerk Empire, had been framed by political enemies and was to be executed en masse for fabricated crimes. Emilia, the last remaining member, was Crown Prince Altus's fiancée, but even she was not exempt. In fact, political enemies had exploited Crown Prince Altus's clumsy annulment of their engagement.

Even as her family and clan were executed one after another, and despair enveloped her, Emilia quietly awaited her own execution.

All of it, to exact her revenge upon this nation...

I set out to write an engagement annulment story, but for some reason, it turned out like this. It won't take long, so please bear with me.
