After a hundred tolerances, I abandon the empress

The Story

Graham Whitmore, the white-robed chancellor, pledged absolute loyalty to the late emperor by making a solemn deathbed promise. He agreed to tolerate the new empress exactly one hundred times, regardless of the personal cost. This vow held firm even as she backed corrupt ministers and drifted into confusion. Graham bowed to her every demand, enduring her mistakes without complaint. However, the moment the hundredth tolerance arrives, he breaks his oath. He departs the court and vanishes from her life forever.
