A humble servant of the people.
The story of one year within the walls of the palace of a modern European regime as it begins to unravel.
As Elena prepares for Victory Day, a weary Zubak arrives at the Palace – where he learns about the chancellor's strict health precautions.
Concerned about Zubak's growing influence over Elena, Nicholas conspires with her top ministers in hopes of unearthing damning intel.
After fielding warnings about her new land reforms, Elena orders a controversial military operation ... and sends Zubak to the front.
Elena attempts to do damage control by reconnecting with her people. Meanwhile, Agnes' loyalty is tested by an anonymous offer.
Amid escalating violence, Elena remains determined to stay in the palace, while her advisors plot a scenario to oust her from power.
With the palace walls now breached, Elena must leverage her skills in diplomacy – and duplicity – in order to remain chancellor.
