Grand Princess Ximena commanded cavalry across nine bloody campaigns to secure the imperial throne for her younger brother before retiring into quiet provincial seclusion. Eighteen years later, she travels to the capital to celebrate the marriage of her beloved daughter Liliana to the empire's brilliant top scholar.
Upon arrival, Ximena discovers the arrogant chancellor reassigned the scholar to his own daughter, demanding Liliana accept the status of a secondary concubine. Incensed by this brazen disrespect, the battle-hardened princess unseals her ancient war commander token, marching directly into the palace to discipline both ministers and her ungrateful imperial brother.
