~A KING'S RULE~ (The Season's End)

SINCE THE DAYS OF NIHILA'S LEGEND as the Lord Unifier of the Continent. Since the days of the Rainbringer, since the days of the Golden One, and since the days when valor rang true in the bright halls of the Ivory Castle, the royal House had kept a single tradition.
