"The new Empress of the Light Empire… is Hero Nancy."

At Cecilia's revelation, both Siara and Sienna froze in place, their eyes widening in sheer disbelief.

"W-What?!" Siara gasped, her voice barely above a whisper, yet laced with unfiltered shock.

She couldn't believe what she had just heard. It had to be some kind of mistake. Maybe she had misheard Cecilia, or perhaps this was all some elaborate misunderstanding.

Nancy—that Nancy—was the Empress of the Light Empire?

Her mind reeled, trying to piece together how events could have spiraled into such an absurd reality. How had things reached this point?

Yet, despite Siara's bewilderment, Cecilia remained solemn as she gave a slow, deliberate nod.

"It's true. She was chosen by the Divine Knights to ascend as the new Empress, alongside the rightful heir to the throne, Prince Geoffrey."
