One year ago, a rumour had begun to spread in the nation of Argria.
The rumour was that the King of Argria, the infamous Hannibal Bancroft, was secretly raising an heir to the throne, far from the Royal Palace.
The rumour also said that the King had kept the information regarding his heir a secret thanks to the help of the Royal Council to ensure the safety of his child.
The rumor didn't manage to gain a lot of traction, and it eventually died down after a while.
There was simply way too little information regarding the rumours.
[The Royal Family reveals the King and the Queen are ill! The Royal Council to appoint Prince Blake Bancroft, son of the Royal Couple who was raised secretly, as the new King! ]
So when the news came out, no one in the country seemed to be believing it.
"It appears that someone is making jokes.."
"Well if they really are jokes.. they're not very funny!"
