Sacrifices Are Needed For The Greater Good
-----
Within the large castle of the capital of the Kingdom of Aquaria, an old man, seemingly in his sixties with a long blue beard and hair, wearing royal and golden-colored clothes while having a large crown atop his head rested atop his glorious throne.
Although his appearance and presence leaked the dominance and authority of a true King, he seemed old, pale, and worried.
Just a few days ago, he got the reports that one of his grandsons, Frank Aquaria, who he had given the title of Duke of the Sapphira Duchy had been found dead.
He did not really have much of a connection with his grandson, and he was well aware that Frank was spoiled and quite rotten, but due to the pressure of his daughter, the mother of Frank, he ended up giving up a small duchy for Frank to possess.
The notice of his death did make him quite sad, although he had more of a bond with his daughter, Frank's mother, than with Frank himself.
