Victoria orchestrates her own villainy to safeguard Anna's throne.
Queen Victoria revives Princess Anna with a forbidden kiss, triggering a curse that leaves her months to live. Knowing rivals will devour Anna once she is gone, Victoria seizes the princess's lands, severs her alliances, and arranges a political marriage, performing tyranny so convincingly that Anna grows to despise her. Each cruel stroke quietly removes a threat from the succession path. As Victoria's body fails, the truth surfaces: every betrayal was a shield forged from love.
