Today was a day of sorrow for the Vampire Realm.
Just yesterday, a brutal invasion by otherworldly demons swept across their lands, leaving devastation in its wake.
The invaders showed no mercy, slaughtering without hesitation. Those who could fight stood valiantly, defending their homeland with every ounce of strength they had, yet the cost was high. Countless lives were lost, and vast stretches of territory lay in ruins.
Today, the Vampire Realm mourned its fallen, yet celebrated a new beginning. Amidst the sorrow for those who died in the brutal invasion, they gathered to witness a historic moment: King Ulysses, after hundreds of years in power, would leave his throne, allowing Prince Aldrian to be crowned as the new king and wed his beloved—all in a single day.
Few understood why, so soon after such a devastating war, Ulysses had chosen to pass the mantle.
