Constantinople, the Golden Governance Palace.
The Divine Emperor Suleiman of the Seljuk Empire sat on the Ivory Throne of past Emperor Solomons, staring blankly at a letter.
This letter was written by his rebellious daughter, Princess Camellia, who had been out of contact for four years. She advised him not to indulge in the glory of capturing Constantinople, but to quickly realize the shift in power dynamics and withdraw forces back to the Bosphorus Strait, focusing on defending Asia Minor.
In other words, Constantinople was destined to be lost.
For Suleiman, claiming he had no feelings for this daughter would be deceitful... Back when he was still the Governor of Damascus and not yet the Divine Emperor, he adored this daughter excessively, even setting aside half an hour every night after his heavy workload to patiently read her bedtime stories.
However, since he chose the path of power, his relationship with this daughter had drifted apart.
