Her older sister, the queen, died in result of a meticulous trap and she herself was drowned alongside the rest of my family.
Patrizia, at the last moments of her life, fell into despair. 'If only I had been the Queen.' She had the confidence to not love the emperor. Then none of this would've happened. Everyone would've been alive, everyone would've been happy.
And when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to before her sister had become the Queen.
At this point she makes a huge decision to change the future of her family and herself.
"I shall become the Queen instead!"

Will this bring the happiness she sought for?
Or will this create for chaos?

Lady to Queen

"The Duke is not part of the Inner Palace that I run. Because of that, I cannot afford to punish the Duke like I can with Lady Efreni."


"But is this any different than an insult to the Imperial Family? It has not been a year since I became the Empress, and my age is not too far gone. I am a lot younger than when Duke Efreni's mistress gave birth. To then discuss whether I possess the ability to give birth to a descendant, or not is..."


"How should I interpret this situation now, hm? Why not you tell me instead?"

"This is a very unpleasant situation, so it is hard to stay in my position. I am very sorry if I ruined the mood. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their time here."
