The deep, frigid prison of the Winter Palace was filled with cold air seeping from every stone wall.
Katerina stood motionless in the prison corridor, dressed in a snow-white fur cloak. Her purple hair hung loose, and her ice-blue eyes gazed indifferently into the depths of the cells. Her Cryo Vision hung from a balance-shaped pendant at her collarbone.
The Tsaritsa had come alone to this dungeon, where sunlight had not shone for years.
"The Fatui's Tenth Seat has been vacant for a long time. You've guarded the ice prison long enough, Katerina. Are you willing to take the Tenth Seat of the Fatui?"
The girl lowered her head slightly, her voice cool and resolute:
"I pledge my loyalty to the Tsaritsa!"
The Tsaritsa slowly nodded. Her voice, cold as snow, echoed through the empty dungeon:
"From now on, you are the Fatui's Tenth Seat. Your codename is Inquisitor."
Katerina dropped to one knee and lightly tapped the ice with the Inquisitor's scepter in her hand.
"Yes."
