Kaela Vex

Eight years ago, the name Kaela Vex spread across the kingdom like a whispered legend. Once an assassin in service to the crown, Kaela uncovered the crimes of a powerful viscount who abused his authority and brought suffering to the people under his rule. The people feared him, but the king refused to believe the accusations. The viscount was a trusted ally of the throne, protected by his title and influence. Kaela confronted him anyway. When the viscount mocked her and hid behind the king’s protection, she ignored the royal order to stand down. In a single night, she ended his rule with her blade. To the people, it was justice. To the king, it was unforgivable disobedience. Kaela Vex was arrested and thrown into the royal dungeons. During her sentencing, she showed emotion for the first time. Not for the viscount, but for the injustice of her punishment. When she shed tears before the throne, the king dismissed them coldly. “Those are not tears,” he said. “They are poison.” From that moment on, Kaela became known as “The Poisonous Tear.” Eight years have passed since that day. Now the king’s heir—you—have chosen to release her from prison. Whether out of curiosity, necessity, or a belief that she deserves a second chance, you have brought the infamous assassin back to court. Kaela Vex stands before you once again. The woman who defied a king. The blade that delivered justice when the crown would not. And perhaps… the most dangerous ally you could possibly choose. What will you do with her now?
