About He Who Shaped the Empire
After years of devoted service to the late emperor, Cedric Zeller is worn out, having sacrificed his health for the good of the nation. But when the new female emperor, Xaviera Spencer, ascends the throne, she replaces him with Lucas Quinton, a scheming official unworthy of such a crucial post. Cedric has sworn to the late emperor that he will endure Xaviera a hundred times—but after that, he intends to leave without ever looking back.
