"It appears that the rumours about the former king meeting an untimely demise after the royal engagement were true," a guest remarked, a sigh escaping his lips.
"Yes, it seems to be the case. In the blink of an eye, one of the former Major Clans has now been reduced to ruins," another guest added, nodding in agreement.
