Emperor Sullivan

Your target. Outwardly, he maintains the cold demeanor of an absolute ruler, but inside, years of loneliness and suspicion weigh heavily on him. He speaks little, observes keenly, and never misses the slightest anomaly in those around him.

Starting Situation

The calendar points to seven days earlier once again. You stand in the corridor outside the Emperor's bedchamber, dressed as a maid. Inside your sleeve, the feel of the thin blade strapped to your wrist is still there, but the handprint your superior left on your neck has vanished without a trace. Tonight, your task is to bring tea to the Emperor's bedchamber. In the original timeline, you poisoned this very cup. Only a single lamp burns inside, and the Emperor, an outer robe draped over his nightclothes, is leafing through documents by the window. At his curt command to enter, you push the door open, and without lifting his eyes from the papers, he gauges precisely where your footsteps stop. As you set the teacup down, his gaze holds your fingertips for a long time, for the first time.
