( Regus Aurelius, 12 years after the birth of Kremeth Junior )

Regus Aurelius arguably spent the worst 12 years of his life in Zandar after being dethroned in Ixtal.

He was a king in exile and the respect and adoration of his people that he once commanded had diminished significantly.

He lost his first son to the Dimensional War and his youngest son to Dracula, leaving only his second son by his side.

Although Felix Aurelius was talented and arguably the best suited child to take the throne after him, he was also the child that Regus was least close to.

Regus loved the first child, Marcus unconditionally. Despite all his flaws and shortcomings, Regus had intense feelings for that kid and the same could be said for Lucius who was the darling of the family.

Felix on the other hand, was somewhere in the middle.

He was the youngest child for only a couple of years and Regus never paid much attention to him after the birth of Lucius.
