The Raids

However, the revelry was abruptly interrupted when a messenger arrived with dire news – his village, where he had recently become king, was under attack. Racing against time, the Hidden Heir hurried back, only to discover that the raid had concluded, and his grandfather, a respected figure in the village, had tragically lost his life during the assault.
