After this statement, Lia's attention was perked. She sat up in the chair and leaned forwards. "Grandma Pan, what did you say?"

"It's true, it's true! Everyone has been talking about it. Apparently, even the King has acknowledged this to a certain degree! Right after the Crown Prince was found dead, the Second Prince was seen leaving the Core Aestas with another person, someone who was quite short and perhaps looked to be no older than 10. This was quite the big news and even the King wasn't able to cover it up!" Grandma Pan said excitedly.

Lia then asked. "Then what happens now in the Mistfall Empire? Who will be the crown Prince then?"
