Next day.
Castlebourne.
Telmarath
Castlebourne mourns, Telmarath mourns and all of Athalaris mourns the loss of King Otto Reingard, the 18th King since the early days of the Athalaris Kingdom. King Otto's shocking death left the people devastated.
They had known King Otto was ill, but they never knew the old man with the title Otto Reingard the Mighty Lion had a deadly disease.
Howard and other officials in Castlebourne agreed to hide King Otto's illness until they died. They were reluctant to allow the public to know Otto was a sexaholic king, which led to him suffering from Skinny Doom.
They all gathered in the throne hall, with black banners spread across every pillar of the hall, signifying Castlebourne was in deep mourning.
Edmund, who had been unofficially handed power by King Otto, was seen sitting on the throne, dressed in a black noble suit with no coat of House Reingard.
