Bab 557: Son of Ruin

The world itself trembled at the announcement of that name. 

Argexes… a name Kieran had been warned of numerous times but had no accurate knowledge of. 

Everyone who spoke of this name did so with extreme caution, dire expressions, and grim intonation — as if simply speaking that name could give it some semblance of power.

Then again, the only ones to speak the name Argexes were the ones that bore a connection to the Monarch, which was a segue into Kieran's next question. Or rather, a question he always had but could never find an answer to, which likely borrowed from the intent to keep knowledge of Monarchs on a tight leash and buried.

'What… is a Monarch?'

He understood it was a Demon, yes. But was that all a Monarch could be? It didn't seem quite right.
