As Powerful, as Beautiful, as Cold as the Moon
Her Majesty, the Queen has ruled over Cancea since her father’s death 34 years ago. Her people view her as an excellent queen, the Taurans as an invaluable ally, and the continent as a crucial peacekeeper. Within her Moonlit Court, she has ultimate authority, and all bow to Her Resplendent Majesty. To her adult daughters, she holds no less authority—and spares no affection.
Queen Acipita’s favor is as enigmatic as her smile, and neither makes their appearance often. Strangely, she took in Cies, making the then-child her ward and giving her an unheard-of gift: a glamour that makes her look just like the other Feniceas. Some whisper this is due to Her Majesty’s rumored relationship with her cousin—Cies’ father, Albatrin—but such thoughts are best left deep in the ocean that teems below her Palace of the Moon.
