The tension in this scene is palpable! Watching the silver-haired beauty present that glowing lotus, only for the blonde empress to expose it as a fake, was pure drama. The holographic mission screen demanding a 'hardcore crackdown' adds such a cool sci-fi twist to the royal setting. Seeing the item shatter into black smoke was satisfying justice. It feels like a high-stakes episode of Me? The Empire's Empress?! where nothing is as it seems. The contrast between the elegant ballroom and the digital interface is visually stunning.
