It's been more than a year since Ilya was crowned as the Empress.
In the past year, the Empire was hit by eight disastrous calamities, nine wars, and ten discoveries that rattled the land. Hundreds of thousands of accidents, the majority of them affecting an entire ecosystem, were reported.
Safe to say, Ilya had a lot of responsibilities to attend to. The Nobles who were against Ilya's ascension to the throne expressed their doubts that she could perform her duties well.
But they didn't just slander her in the open. They rallied against the Empress, gathering allies who would help them find a way to overthrow her.
Unfortunately for them, Ilya's roots were far too formidable to be eradicated. Not only was she the Duchess of the Gertrude Dukedom, the child of the Bismarcks, but the Emperor gave her the power to do what she wanted. Because of that, more than half of the royals came running to her side.
