 This family-centric story starts with Ao being released from the hospital for the third time. His parents worry he will get sick again and also want him to enjoy life. They come home to a new house they have prepped with a scavenger hunt for him to find seven stickers that leads Ao to explore their new home. Ao wants to have freedoms of other well children. A new bicycle gives Ao access to friends and life outside of the hospital, but concerns for Ao's mom as to Ao's safety. Cryptic postcards start up showing at the home foretelling events that will happen tomorrow unless they are stopped. We don’t know who is sending them or who the postcards are for.

Jieun continues to plot to become the crown princess, and Tia continues to be conflicted. A plot is uncovered that involves poisoning Ruve, and it's the same poison that was used against Tia. As a knight, she is assigned to be a personal aide to Ruve, so it becomes her duty to root out the perpetrator of the poisoning.

The two ladies are called to a council meeting with an oracle of the temple to find out which of them is the true child of prophecy. Ruve decides that he will hold off on choosing one of them for his empress for one year until Tia’s coming of age celebration. In the meantime, someone begins to feed Tia poison, which leaves her in a coma for three months! After she awakens, her fertility is called into question. Tia has also set many traps for the Noblist faction in the hopes of weakening them financially, and many come to fruition even while she is unconscious. Many of Tia’s well laid plans come to a head, and she must finally choose between being her family’s heir, being the empress, fighting off Jieun’s schemes, and heading her Imperialist faction. |
