An immaculately dressed man and woman appeared on the INN emergency broadcast. Each had the same soulless smile that came from long years of cosmetic treatment. They cut to the woman primarily.
"This is breaking news. The Empress Cirenia has been murdered by a traitor to the Imperial cause. We've received word the traitor has been identified as Marquis Patriel Sarcanu-" Just then she got a new report on her ear piece. "We've just received news that Patriel Sarcanus was no longer the Marquis of House Sarcanus. His brother Mica Sarcanus assuming the position."
The camera cut to the male broadcaster. "We have some security camera footage. Be advised the video is quite shocking."
The feed cut to Patriel standing before Cirenia with a gun pointed at her. The camera situated at an angle that showed both their faces, but did little to give away Cirenia's expression.
"Empress Cirenia. For your crimes against humanity. I hereby judge you." Patriel said, looking to Cirenia, whose eyes were tearing up. The briefest smile appeared on her features just before the shot went off. "I have executed the false Empress."
"House Sarcanus refused to comment on how and why this occurred. Many are speculating on whether charges will be levied against House Sarcanus. However that has taken a backseat as this shocking revelation was made shortly after." The broadcaster said with as much charisma as his false face could muster. The image cut to a video of Femyael seated at the throne in the Assassin's Order temple. Before her a host of Imperial Troops and Assassins alike.
"I am Femyael, you know me as Cirenia's bodyguard, but in truth I am her sister. As Vice Admiral Ceren was the late Emperor's brother. As such, I am in line to succeed my sister, as the Empress." She bellowed to all those in the hall and out into the Empire as the broadcast aired.
The broadcasters made idle speculation. But none of it was any free thinking speculation. Just generic conversation that took no real stance on anything. INN established by the Emperor to be a neutral grounds for news left little for the opinions of the broadcasters or operators of the network.
