The Empire Knows

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace…

Selene stood before the Empress, reading a report.

Selene, calmly: "Finn Gearwright is planning a heist."

The Empress, sipping tea: "Of course he is."

Selene, placing down the report: "Shall I crush them?"

The Empress, smirking: "No need. Let them in."

Selene, raising an eyebrow: "…Excuse me?"

The Empress, standing up: "Finn thinks he's stealing from us. But really, he's walking into a trap."

A slow, ominous smile spread across her face.
