Tia arrives just in time for the meeting with the Emperor, the Empress, and Perez. She notices that they already seem aware of the earlier incident. Perez signals to her that his preparation went well. Meanwhile, the Empress feels confident because Tia arrived alone without Clerivan, believing she has the upper hand. However, Tia quietly smiles, knowing this confidence is misplaced and that her plan is already in motion. During the meeting, Perez presents old documents to the Emperor. These papers reveal that the Braun family had ordered large amounts of war materials from the Lombardi merchant guild in the past, using money borrowed from the Angenas family.

This was tied to a past war planned by the previous Emperor. The documents suggest corruption and secret dealings involving the Imperial family and Angenas. Perez explains that if this information becomes public, it would damage the Imperial family’s reputation. He subtly pressures the Emperor, implying that it is better to deal with Angenas now rather than let the truth come out later. The Emperor becomes tense and realizes the seriousness of the situation. In the end, Perez confidently declares that the representative of the western region will change, indirectly telling that Angenas will lose power. Tia’s plan is unfolding successfully, and the Empress, who once felt secure, is actually walking into a trap that has already been set 🤭🤭
