Two days after the funeral procession, a breaking news story shook the capital.
It wasn't that the Demon Cult had invaded once more. Neither was it the death of an illustrious official. It was something far more… serious.
"What do you mean Amon Solaris is missing?"
Rumours spread through the capital like wildfire, and for good reason. Amon Solaris was now considered the most powerful sword humanity had against the Demon Cult, and his life and death were imperative to their great war. If Amon sneezed, the whole Hyades Republic would know about it, and there would be speculations that he caught an incurable disease that could weaken humanity.
So for him to disappear without a trace sent the capital into a mini-panic.
But when they found out the reason for his disappearance…
"Apparently, he disappeared with his fiancée."
"Went missing? Did the Demon Cult attack him?"
"No, that's not it… They left a letter saying they… eloped."
"What?"
