At the age of 40, Kain married his wife, the empress. After that, in the course of the next 10 years, he married 6 more of his wives, of which only 2 became his official wives and the rest became his concubine.

He was the sole bloodline holder of the Xanders bloodline, so he tried his best to improve the situation by having a lot of kids.

During this period, his father had grown more and more violent, while at the same time becoming sicker and sicker.

Kain didn't understand what was going on and none of the doctors gave a straight answer. 

Until one day, he was called to his father's bed chambers when he was 60 years old. 

Kain walked in to see his father, weak in his death bed. Next to him was the general commander of the defense army. 

"What's going on?" Kain asked.

"The emperor wants to speak to you, your highness," the commander said and walked to the corner of the room to let the father-son have some time alone.
