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.
