Upon hearing the words of King Belradin, the nobles and ministers present in the hall instantly stirred. The King's intentions were now unmistakably clear.
He was soon to die, and his chosen successor - the queen - was much too young. He had decided to select a replacement to rule over the kingdom of Lockman until Queen Remilia came of age, whereupon he would pass on his power to her.
Greedy gazes were cast on the dying man on the throne, even as devious desires began to form in the minds of some as they turned their gaze upon the timid Princess Remilia standing by the throne.
"Hmm!" Mocking laughter escaped Belradin's lips as he observed the reactions of the nobles and ministers below. Behind him, five figures of authority approached, each radiating a dominating aura. These were the Legends, loyal exclusively to the monarchy.
