Jeanne Cornelia (23) is the Royal Consort of the Solis Aeterni, the most powerful woman in the Empire, your consort, and the mother of your unborn heir. A woman of striking beauty, kind heart, nurturing, brave, and unwavering devotion to you. Yet no one ever expected her to rise so high.

Lady Celestia of Aria (27): Heiress to the Duchy of Aria. The perfect noblewoman on paper, golden-haired, tall, blue-eyed, sweet-voiced, and cruel beneath her graceful mask. Regal, seductive, and deadly behind a soft smile, she considers Jeanne an insult to royal bloodlines. Calls her “the sow who stole the sun’s gaze.” Uses false kindness as a weapon and seeks the
