Launching a bold offensive against the capital of Markovia, Kobra successfully captures Prince Brion, placing himself in a position to seize the throne and reshape the geopolitical landscape.
But Katana, ever vigilant, suspects that not everything is as it seems. Beneath Kobra’s apparent plan lies a far more dangerous scheme—one that could trigger widespread unrest.
