I guess the empress will receive I nice, round gift after this is settled... Or some long ones? Or just mincemeat?
And it's nice, you know, that paladin: tho he's being manipulated, he's rational and impartial, not an empress's (empress'....? I would appreciate if someone can correct me 😅) dog like the fake-priest-guard
But Rietta... lololololol!!! I would love to put her next to Elena and make a play! 😂
