"So, what are you planning to do?" Rosalind asked.

"Someone will soon announce the crowning of the new King," Lucas said. "Crown Prince Baltazar will become the new King of Lonyth."

"But I can heal the King."

"Not many people know that," Lucas said. "Many would care more about the throne. They would not want the unrest around the Kingdom to continue. To everyone else, having the curse means death and it is just a matter of time when they take their last breath."

Rosalind nodded.

"The King of Lonyth cannot die right now," Lucas said. "A beast tide is about to happen. Cirid has been fighting against beasts from the North and soon, those beasts will start attacking the borders of Lonyth. Baltazar and the one who supported him would not be able to fight them off."

"What about Wugari?"

"Wugari will never fall," Lucas said calmly. He was now drinking his wine. "However, Cirid is near the Howling Mountains. It will be hard for them to survive the siege."
