The news of the death of Moncalleta's King, the just Ola the Eighteenth, could not be suppressed. At this moment, the city is rife with rumors. Such a strange phenomenon occurs in this era, compounded with the King's death and aided by those with intentions to stir the pot; one cannot imagine the power it could unleash.
Overnight, Hokele matured greatly. His years of experience enabled him to remain calm in such a sudden and crisis-ridden situation, quickly stabilizing Hedan's situation with the help of Queen Kelly, the Royalists, and the Celestial Principle School. He then announced the obituary of King Ola the Eighteenth. Rumors cease before the wise, but wise ones are few. Instead of allowing enemies to ferment them, it is better to unveil them oneself. This is where Hokele differs from previous successors; nurtured under the Celestial Principle School, he is unafraid of tradition. The King sacrificed himself to protect the Kingdom; he was unquestionably a brave and just King.
