The Truth Behind the Crown Prince's Imprisonment

"What do you mean—the Dwarf King is dead?" Leon's eyes widened in shock at the statement.

Elina, who stood beside him, looked equally stunned. She covered her mouth, her expression filled with horror and fear.

"Yes... my father is dead," Morgrim replied with a bitter smile. "Actually..."

He began to recount what had happened to him—and the reason he had been locked away in this dark prison.

Leon and Elina listened closely. But the more they heard, the more disturbed they became.

Leon's face grew pale, his expression tense and rigid.

"So that's how it is, Fated One," Morgrim muttered with a heavy sigh. Then, without warning, anger erupted from within him. He clenched his teeth and growled, "My father was a wise and noble king... So why did he meet such a cruel fate? Why?"

Tears welled up in his eyes as he began to sob softly, his face twisted with sorrow and pain.
