The Ghost Ruler seemed to be accepted as the Ruler of Runera for an artifact he possessed that controlled the city. However, Arthur remembers implanting no such thing, so whoever created this artifact and wielded it must be people he knows.
Arthur stared at the pond in his pavilion and wondered who it was. Runera decided to host this party for the sake of appearances, and he had no intention of participating in it. However, the person standing next to the pond did not like that.
