I was the queen, confined to the ancestral temple for a grave crime.
The king despised me, and for fifteen years he never came to see me.
The world said I had lost my mind.
Then the diviners foretold that my child would bring the four corners of the realm to submission and become sovereign of all under Heaven.
Taken from me on the day he was born and raised by the king’s favorite consort, he had never even seen his mother’s face.
Day and night I prayed, waiting for him.
At last, he came.
The boy was grown now, his brow bearing all the cold majesty of an heir to the throne.
Calmly, he laid a dagger before me.
“Your son asks only one thing.
Grant it to me.”
