Synopsis

The chapter depicts Princess Charlotte behaving bizarrely, possibly intoxicated, leading to public humiliation and criticism. Her half-sister, Charlia, seems to orchestrate these events, using Charlotte's poor behavior to improve her own image and potentially gain allies in the palace. The chapter also suggests a power struggle between the sisters, as each tries to outmaneuver the other for the throne. This conflict reveals the precarious political landscape of the empire and the scheming tactics employed within the royal family.
