Empress Marozia was in her chamber with Tristan. Due to their busy schedules, the mother and son rarely had time to chat these days. As such, it was only now that Tristan Castelof learned what his mother was up to these days.
Upon hearing it, what first crossed Tristan's mind was Lena. If she was to hear this... he didn't even want to think about it.
He knew that if his mother's plan was to succeed, Lena will never be able to accept. But... his mother already devoted herself to this for years. He witnessed everything.
