The Disgrace Who Made Her Queen - Episode 1

Awakened to the Progenitor's memories, the sect Leader faces a choice when followers warn that Renee Scott is cursed with a short life and leaving now could doom him and affect two nations' providence. Despite pleas—"You mustn't leave!"—he insists he values Renee's smile more than power, explains his long devotion, and resolves to go. A charge erupts, troops mobilize, and he departs for Jadeport. He calls, "Wait for me, Renee." The episode ends with his departure and the unresolved danger of the curse and the sect's future.
