บท 1209: A Crowned Prince, Again

Giant Garden, once a vibrant testament to the natural world, now stands as a chilling symbol of chaos. Rumors swirl amidst the ruins, painting a picture of a world forever altered. Though the ruling elite of Yalen desperately seek to suppress the truth, word has spread like wildfire, carried by the terrified remnants of the once mighty Yalen Army.

The Empyrean of Yalen, a figure shrouded in myth and secrecy, has emerged from centuries of seclusion. For generations, the Empyreans have ruled with whispered promises of stolen powers and the illusion of eternal order. Yet, in Giant Garden, this facade of invincibility crumbled.

Witnesses claim the Empyrean's arrival was a desperate gamble – a bid to end the life of Arthur Netherborne, the enigmatic outsider who has defied the Empire at every turn. However, this confrontation did not end in the Empyrean's triumph, but in his abject defeat.
