All Things Change

Trees shed their leaves. Day turned into night and night into day as time went by. By nature, changes were neither strange nor novel. Even human power eventually changed hands. In kingdoms of mages, the reign of a new monarch was not unprecedented. When the late king passed away or handed over the throne to the heir apparent, it would mark the beginning of a new reign. Things like normally happen in ordinary kingdoms. People might mourn their late king, but eventually, they would easily accept the new monarch’s ascension to the throne.

However, the change of the reigning Refanian monarch was completely different. The late king did not die of natural course or willingly hand over the throne to the new king, but he was killed by Arias, and the Refania Kingdom’s heir to the throne was also killed by Arias at the same time. After that, Arias proclaimed himself the new king, took over the throne, and even founded a new dynasty.
