Introduction[]
The mother of the 4th prince, she had the ambition to place her son on the imperial throne. After Empress Aria’s death and captivating the emperor’s heart, she built up a strong relationship with the nobles and reorganized the Red Knights into her own limbs. Through the instructions of the enlightened Sword Duke Limit they were even judged to be much better than the past knights. Thanks to that, Marie’s position increased further. Whatever her intentions, she brilliantly trained the Red Knights, making the emperor more favorable towards her.[3]
Story[]
Ever since the Five Pillars were obtained, the emperor recognized the Red Knights as ‘usable tiles’ again and so the number of tasks the Red Knights received from the emperor gradually increased, causing frequent gaps in Marie’s armed forces. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t completely get him under her thumb. She felt a sense of crisis since Asmophel was kidnapped by someone, and created a new group as a defensive instinct (The Rose Knights). [3]
She continued her schemes until Emperor Juander discovered of her and her son's transgressions and besieged her palace with thousands of soldiers in search of them. They were eventually sentenced to be locked up in the Abyss by the Emperor, [4] Since after ascending to power Basara partialy revelead to the public of Marie's dealings with the Yatan Church to seize the empire, she was probably imprisioned.[5]
She died from curses of demon of curse, Drasion.
