Extra: The Little Shapeshifter (Part 1)
Sacredragon Era, Year 5896.
A team of court Knights, riding majestic horses, galloped out of Perkimlin Palace.
Every time they passed through a city gate, they left a few men behind to post notices on the bulletin board in the squares.
"The Empress has given birth to a Prince!"
"The Emperor is recruiting trusted companions for his eldest son!"
After announcing the news to the public, a few Knights in Holy Armor rode away.
Soon, citizens in the city gathered around.
"The eldest son... I remember the Empress previously gave birth to a pair of twins, sadly, they died young."
"Hush, don't talk about it."
"It's said that those twins were ominous."
"Ah! I also heard that on the day they were born, the High Priest at the Temple of Fate suddenly died."
"Hey... do you think those twins really died young or..." That person made a throat-slitting gesture.
No one said a word.
This unpleasant topic was tacitly skipped over by everyone.
