The final arc begins with the collapse of the Empress’s domain. The revolutionary army, typically led by a betrayed knight or a rival prince, breaches the throne room. The Empress is stripped of her magical or political authority, abandoned by her corrupt allies. Phase 2: The Public Trial

This subgenre subverts expectations by refusing to soften the protagonist's edges. She is tyrannical, power-hungry, and deeply flawed.
