The name Charlotte Evans Avaloria carried weight—first princess of the Human Empire, daughter of Emperor Edward Evans Avaloria and his second wife, Isabella.
Her father, one of the few Monarch-rank beings in the world, stood at the pinnacle of strength and authority. But even in a palace filled with power, kindness often proved the most fragile trait.
Charlotte remembered her mother vividly. Isabella Evans Avaloria was not just a concubine—she was a beacon of compassion.
Always helping the poor, always mediating disputes with grace. The people loved her, and so did the Emperor—dearly, fiercely. Yet in the cold game of politics, kindness was a dangerous currency.
And that danger had a name: Regina Evans Avaloria.
The reigning queen and Charlotte's stepmother, Regina saw Isabella's growing influence like a weed choking her ambitions.
When Charlotte was born, Regina's first reaction wasn't fear—but relief. It wasn't a boy. No threat to her own sons' future claims to the throne.
