Chapter Sixty: The Beginning of Her Majesty's Journey
Haneul could not believe her ears as Therese casually informed her that she was going to die if she would fail in seeking help with the seven sentinels. She promised herself to live a long life in this lifetime and to die in a natural way, perhaps out of old age. And then she would actually die that quickly?

Therese then lifted her head and looked at the Empress with a straight face. "Your Majesty, you are being ridiculous. Of course, you're going to die. And in a cruel death at that. Your prowess is resting inside you. Getting more powerful day by day of being unused. It's even breaking the seal itself."
