I'm just imagining this from Selice's perspective. She almost dies, then meets her friend's father who is like a feckin bear, then meets the heroic mother lmaooo
@exxp Medea is the former Empress and Step-mother to the current Emperor. She was a Princess married off to the old Emperor to prevent her country from being destroyed. Her goal is the make her son the Emperor. You can read chapters 29, 46 and 63 to get most of her plot. There are other chapters, but I can't remember this all offhand.
