The King is Dead and you're the only one who can commune with the Cosmos to name the rightful heir to the throne.

There is quite literally NOTHING that I love more than political intrigue!!! I am so curious about the world, the oracle, and THE KINGS' DEATH? NAH HOW DID THAT HAPPEN I WANNA KNOW. GIMME PART 2. Also can confirm, Aru simp. 

Me about Aru: Camilla is who I want, that is where my loyalties lie.

Vy, who I crowned: Not the mother of your children?

Me: DON'T BRING THE BOYS INTO THIS

ANYWAYS I LOVED IT AND I WILL SIMPLY STARE AT MY COMPUTER UNTIL THE FULL THING IS RELEASED :)

The artwork is phenomenal and I especially love the creator's attention to detail!? There's literally a scene where the character's blush intensifies with each frame and it's freaking adorable! 10/10 would recommend this! 

Ahhhhh!!! Thanks so much!! I'm really glad you liked the little details ♡♡♡
