The treatment for the members of the royal nobility was slightly better, as they could avoid death.
But not by much.
Once the phenomenon of the "Furnace of a Hundred Faces" occurred, the offspring of the nobility were stripped of their horns, leaving their bodies covered in large, gaping wounds, then thrown into the filthy, damp sewers beneath King City to spend their days in the company of excrement.
This was the case even for the offspring of the noble Knight and Marika, who were as revered as kings and gods.
Gerrick and his brother Monger were abandoned in the sewers of King City as soon as they were born.
As if fearful that the brothers would tarnish the purity of the Golden Family.
Their names were even altered.
Their father was granted the name Gefrei, and the elder brother was named Gedwin.
But when it came to the Omen Twins, not even the surname "Ged" was deemed worthy to inherit; instead, it was relegated to a mere part of their given names.
