Griffin was dead. On the most splendid day of his life, he died wearing the crown, killed by his former wife.
The details of the assassination were very clear.
Elina used her familiarity with the palace to have a group of assassins disguise themselves as royal guards. The unsuspecting King of Silvermane was attacked while drunk. He was first subdued by Magic, then stabbed in a vital spot with a dagger coated in deadly poison.
The King of Silvermane died in the arms of Queen Karol, who had rushed to his side.
Elina condemned Griffin for his heartlessness and faithlessness towards her, taking all the blame upon herself before ending her life with a dagger in a supposed "suicide for love."
Dawnspirit City was shaken.
Those still reveling in the establishment of the kingdom had not expected such devastating news to arrive so swiftly.
Their new king was dead. Who would take the throne?
