Summary notes spoiler-light, read before episode 1

In short: 77 episodes, in English, original audio — episodes 1–10 play right here.

Amidst the triumphant reign of Emperor Joseph, the Kratin Dynasty conquered all realms and reigned unchallenged, compelling neighboring states to bow in submission. Yet his obsession with power led to the neglect and demise of his empress.

Shattered by loss, Joseph renounced his throne and retired to a secluded life with his son. Fate intervened when Kaylee, Empress of Gligow, fleeing her pursuers, stumbled upon his cottage, and a night of unintended passion shattered his hard-won peace.

Study tip: the first 10 episodes set up every conflict that the remaining 67 episodes pay off — watch them back to back before you decide whether to continue.
