The King of the Luminous Kingdom had grown tired of it all.
Of these traitors, of their power, and of what they had gotten away with it this entire time!
Above all, he felt incredibly frustrated, and above all, because he knew this was all his fault.
He didn't put enough time and effort into investigating what was happening in the city.
It took him too long to become suspicious of the Wizard Tower, even more of Merlinus.
He focused too much on improving things such as tourism for Players instead of boosting the growth of his army and his soldiers.
Instead of recruiting nobles to his cause and strengthening his political power, he ended churning them away, forcing them to ally Merlinus instead, as they plotted his downfall.
All of these things, in his opinion, were the signs of a terrible ruler, to the point he hated himself for that.
