Today, Claude had decided to hold a funeral for his father, Theo—or as he was known in Elysium, Theodore the Fake.
He had learned of his father's story from William.
A man born into a nameless family, Theodore had been anything but ordinary.
By the time he was ten, he had already surpassed the children of Elysium's Honorable Houses—families that had long served the Lord of Calamity with unwavering loyalty.
His talent drew admiration, but also jealousy.
However, as the years passed, Theodore began to resemble the Lord of Calamity more and more. Whispers spread. Was he truly him?
The Honorable Houses did not stay silent. They summoned Theodore to the throne room, demanding answers.
And there, he had spoken the words that would change everything.
"I am not the Lord of Calamity, but I will bring the Lord into this world."
From that moment on, he became the Fake.
