Lowellmina loved the Empire.

She loved it for its diverse array of nations, peoples, cultures, ideologies, and faiths jumbled together in a disorderly mess.

That’s why she had devoted her entire life to the Empire. She dreamed of supporting her nation and devoured knowledge with greed. She had no doubt that she would be rewarded if she kept it up.

But those dreams were dashed at a certain banquet.

The Emperor had quizzed his eldest son on politics. When his son was unable to respond, the Emperor’s mood became sour, dampening the vibe of the entire party.

It had been at this point that Lowellmina offered the correct answer from beside them. The Emperor praised her, and the vassals remarked that they’d expect no less of their Imperial Princess. The eldest son had turned bright red with embarrassment, but she paid him no mind. For Lowellmina, it was more important to become a rock for the Empire as quickly as possible.

But from that day forward, the circumstances around her changed.

Her time to learn politics became crammed with lessons on poetry and dance. The vassals engaged in national politics kept their distance. And to top it off, she was forced to stop sitting in on the affairs of the Imperial Court as she’d been allowed before. That was when it became clear that this was happening according to someone’s will.

She initially had thought it was the work of her embarrassed eldest brother, but that wasn’t the case.

It was all under the orders of the Emperor.

As a father, the Emperor loved Lowellmina, but he hadn’t the slightest intention of naming her his successor—because she was a girl.

The Empire was a country that held onto a creed of talent over status. And yet, the Emperor held onto the belief that women were best served when dolled up and speaking in soft, melodic voices. They were not meant to bear the burden of national politics.

But Lowellmina was jolted to her very core by the events that followed.

When she realized that the Emperor’s will was unwavering, she began trying to work through the vassals. But not a single one paid any attention to her. They had feared invoking the Emperor’s displeasure—

or so one might think.

In reality, most of the vassals agreed with the Emperor that women shouldn’t be involved in government affairs. Even the court ladies agreed it was the unconditional truth.

And the most terrifying part of all: They meant her no harm. With good intentions and these beliefs, they were keeping her away from politics, knowing full well she was more than capable. They didn’t want her to know the unhappiness that was part and parcel with meddling in these affairs.

How could Lowellmina describe her shock?

She wasn’t facing a conspiracy of just one or two people. And it wasn’t only in the palace but most of her country that stood in her way. It was a barricade of people who shared this cultural hegemony. And when Lowellmina found out about this system of beliefs, she realized there was nothing she could do to change it.
