In the Throne Hall.
Two corpses have been briefly cleaned and put together.
They are Fenwick and Flora, siblings from the Drake family. Their expressions peaceful as if they are merely in a deep sleep.
Duke Frank stands before the throne, lost in thought.
Today, under his command, the North Territory's army achieved a resounding victory.
They shattered Dragon City, defeated the Royal Army and the Western Region's forces, and finally stormed into the palace.
"But... this is not what I wanted."
Duke Frank's expression suddenly darkened. "Which idiot dared to murder Duke Drake? And who was the fool who forced Queen Flora into death?"
The queen, though a Kingslayer, needed trial not death amid the tumult of war.
And Fenwick is no ordinary man; as one of the only four Dukes in the kingdom, he has brothers, children, and loyal vassals who are still in the western territories.
Once they learn of what has happened, they will stop at nothing to avenge him against the Wolf Fort!
