"An era of inaccuracy and turmoil," said Asala. "A period of fifteen years from whence the duchess rose to power and the Beaumont royal bloodline faded. And yet, there art no true details of this rise.
Not even interviewing at length with the elderly and historians of all the cardinal cities yields a proper, unified narrative."
"Turmoil, yes, but now, things are better," said Mason. "Because of the duchess. The tainted and traitorous Beaumont bloodline is gone now, and though the Lightborn blood is now lost forever, the great sun god has placed his trust in the hero Sunstar."
Li held back a snort. He knew Helius and he knew Sunstar.
He could not imagine the sun god having the will to give his blessing to anyone, least of all Sunstar. It seemed that the Lightborn bloodline originally ruled Soleil having blood directly from Helius himself, but now that it was lost, the duchess used Sunstar as a surrogate for it to justify her rule.
