The Empress's CEO

Empress Isabella Croft believes Magistrate Lucas Thorne is corrupt and embezzled funds, so she goes on an incognito inspection tour. In Northwind County, advanced things challenge her worldview. Her assassination attempt fails. Lucas Thorne forces her into a work contract, reducing her to an 'intern secretary.' The two eventually join forces, ushering in a new era of overseas exploration for the Qian Empire.
