## History

Artizea was neglected as a child by her mother, and didn't have a father. She learned early on that the only way to get a bit of attention from her mother was when Lawrence was involved. So, Tia decided to help her brother onto the throne in her first life. She caused war, famine, poverty, etc. She also persuaded the Saintess Lysia to be his Empress so that the Imperial Family could be more influential and gain the public's attention. Lysia was abused by her brother, and later died from it. Lysia entrusted Tia with her last words to Cedric Evron. After some time, Artizea was imprisoned and brought to the Palace in shackles in front of Lawrence. There, she learned that Abe, Lawrence's child, was poisoned and she was being accused of it. Tia went on to be accused of countless crimes, some true and others fabricated. Her tongue and all of her limbs were cut off so that she could not refute the accusations and sign documents.

Venia, the former Empress's maid, got Artizea out of prison under Cedric Evron's orders. She was brought to a rebel's camp where Evron and his people were.

In the manhwa, she only saw glimpses of the desolate land when she was being transported in a laundry cart. Back in camp, Cedric kneels in front of Tia and begs her to form a plan to do something against the Emperor and better their lives. Artizea felt guilty, but when she started doing her crimes, she told herself she was not allowed to feel guilty. She cried and shook her head. Cedric was disappointed but told her he could send her to the outskirts of the Empire so she could live quietly. Later that night, Artizea made a magic circle with her own blood to turn back time.

Artizea takes advantage to the conversation telling Lawrence that Miraila is unsuccessful and that would be better go with the Empress and try to be adopted by her.

She sneaks out one night, with Freil as her guard. She goes to an inn in the slums and asks for Rye Fidget, whose alias is Watt. In her past life, she made deals with him, be it murder or others. But he went to court and accused her by Lawrence orders, too. In this life, she has the upper hand and asks him for favors.
