The Aftermath of Subnock's Defeat

The Subnock Plains, a place teeming with dangerous beasts, had been brought to order. The master of the corruption creatures, the dreaded Subnock, had been defeated. With Subnock gone, the rampant monsters that had been stirred into a frenzy were swiftly dealt with by the knights under Marquis Cattleya. The chaos had been subdued, but as one crisis ended, it heralded the beginning of another.

This conversation took place in the heart of the Iwood Kingdom's royal palace. King David Iwood, seated at his desk, was burying his face in his hands, a look of deep regret and sorrow etched across his face.
