Days after Belle's death in Aragonia, the people of Aragonia, who were unaware that they had poked a sleeping beast, had just received the news that their troops had successfully made it into Nightbrook. This news was sent directly to the king, who was currently sitting with the duke and other officials in the courtroom, all of whom roared in victory.
"We were able to protect our borders from the vampires, and currently the fight is still going on," reported the messenger to the king. But despite the good news he was delivering, he looked slightly nervous for some reason, and one of the officials who noticed this asked,
"What's wrong? This news calls for a celebration. In no time we will take over Nightbrook and put a human ruler there to stop the vampires' existence. Why do you look like it's not something good?" asked the man to the messenger, causing the rest to also notice the messenger's nervous look.
