The Disgrace Who Made Her Queen - Episode 8

At a celebratory meal guests reveal the Empress will personally bestow the divine-general title Redhawk on Renee Scott tomorrow at two. Wesley takes credit—his father, the Governor-General of Southern Province, quietly arranged the appointment—while friends note no one has ever skipped selection before. Their cheers turn to pressure: they demand Renee "divorce him" immediately so her match satisfies the Empress's pure-blood rules, promising to return the husband's house and repay his expenses. With the ceremony looming, the episode closes on Renee facing the urgent choice to end her marriage before tomorrow.
