Funeral espionage, royal succession chaos, and spies in corsets—this is how you do political anime.
While the funeral of the assassinated Prince Edward, who was the first in line to succeed the throne, is being held, the nobles of the Kingdom of Albion discuss topics such as whether the second-in-line Princess Mary or the third-in-line Duke of Arkham, Prince Richard, will succeed the throne, and how the Duke of Normandy will act.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Kingdom of Albion deliberately echoes 19th-century Britain during the 'Year of Three Kings' crisis, but gender-swapped succession rules add delicious what-if tension.
Chapter 3's 60-minute runtime was originally planned as two TV episodes before the shift to theatrical releases—explaining the dense, almost breathless plotting.
