Ritheria is a beautiful woman, and a trusted statesman. Her people are loyal, and those countries that ally with her will have only peace in their futures. That is what many come to think, at least, after just one meeting with Ritheria. But those who have watched from afar know differently. Any sovereign who would remain independant would be wise to look deeper, below Ritheria's beauty, to the cunning serpent beneath.
