Soon, news spread like wildfire across the entire Avaloria Empire.
A new king had ascended the throne.
The common people, who didn't even know who it was yet, still let out a collective sigh of relief. In these brutal times, they needed a ruler more than anything—someone to stabilize the empire and calm the unrest boiling in every city, town, and village.
Yet deep down, everyone knew one simple truth.
Whoever took that throne would never match the former king.
Edward Evans Avaloria.
A monarch-rank powerhouse and the strongest in the empire's history. But to the people, he had been more than just a king—he was their symbol of peace. The man who not only protected them from foreign threats, but watched over Avaloria as if it were his own child.
Now that symbol was gone.
In his place were left his three children… and the people knew none of them were worthy.
Joseph was trash—a spoiled prince who thought only of wine and pleasure.
