The once-mighty Weiting Family was on par with the Figrola family, another mammoth entity from the western realms, and was listed among the Twelve Great Nobles of Lion Heart Castle.
Perched at the pinnacle of power, yet still unsatisfied, they sought even more, coveting the Beast King Crown of the Vespasian Family.
The Weiting Family spent a long time planning and secretly gathered a group of suicide troops. They also bribed people close to Edward II, intending to stage a palace coup, believing they had accounted for every contingency. However, the day before the coup, the plot leaked.
The family members in the Royal Capital were captured by the Imperial Army.
When the news reached Crab's Corner, Family Head Hilda hurriedly mustered troops, assembling an impressive army of 30,000 within just ten days.
