Karma

Under normal circumstances, Aria should have begun developing strange feelings for each of the Grand Dukes by now... but she felt nothing at all.

Considering everything that had happened, that was only natural.

The Western and Eastern Grand Dukes had been utterly ruined because of Southern Grand Duke Kyle Leopold. There was no charm to be found in the sight of men who had resisted pathetically to the bitter end and been reduced to wrecks.

The Crown Prince and the Northern Grand Duke were no different.

Whether it was the Northern Grand Duke, who tried to maintain his regime by wantonly killing people, or the Crown Prince, who merely stared blankly while people were slaughtered, Aria could find no charm in either of them.

It was a small butterfly effect caused by Kyle Leopold's civil war.

So the only thought in Aria's mind now was this.

The complete destruction of the corrupt Empire. Every corrupt noble who had brutally killed her parents dying.

In truth, that goal was already being achieved to some extent.

Kyle Leopold. The discarded pawn she had used and thrown away in her youth was somehow taking control of the South and overturning the Empire...
