The Mortal Queen's Wrath - Épisode 1

At a victory banquet after the Black Dragon is crushed and Raksha Hall seized, the returning leader is cheered and announces he will hand the presidency to Joseph because he is tired of fighting. Earlier, subordinates ask Mr. Zouch if they will move against Ms. Searle, who "protects the weak" and blocks their shady businesses; they are told to follow orders later. During the toast—"Cheers to Ms. Searle"—Joseph refuses to drink and confronts her, saying, "You shouldn't block our path to wealth." The episode closes with Joseph publicly challenging Ms. Searle as leadership shifts, leaving her isolated and threatened.
