Somehow, they managed to sneak inside the Palace faster than they thought. This turned out to be due to the lax rulership of the new king.
Everything was poorly and incompetently managed. Ilvedia was barely keeping itself together with this kind of lackluster rulership. It's not a terrible tyranny in the least, but it was the extreme opposite of it.
The new king merely passed laws according to the advisor's advice, wasted money on some unnecessary procedures, and barely showed his face to the people, further lowering his reputation. With how much King Fabian was idealized and idolized due to his death at the hands of his own dastardly son, the new king was continuously compared and criticized with him.
"I wish that King Fabian would somehow rise back from the dead like the Holy Dragon Lord."
