Volume 22: Revival and Rise Chapter 11: Exhausting All Strategies

The Royal City was suffused with an atmosphere of sorrow and tension intertwined. His Majesty the King had passed away yesterday; the great Kasan Romanov, His Majesty the King, had finally reached the end of his glorious life and ascended to heaven.

Perhaps he thought he could awaken, perhaps he believed he had made adequate arrangements, but the workings of the world often do not comply with people's wills and desires.
