“I can, and I cannot adequately express how much your nonchalant attitude towards these sorts of things horrifies me.” Bronte says through gritted teeth. “But you appear to have the gist of it all now. Xenophanes managed to defeat Ernest by unknown means. The story is that he gave his life to do so. In reality, neither Xenophanes nor Ernest left a body behind, so we do not truly know. But neither have been around in over a thousand years. Before he vanished though, he’d already consorted with a human woman. Their descendants became the royal family of Morfis. Over the centuries, many of those new rulers made changes that were perhaps not in line with Xenophanes’ original vision. Certain kings took it upon themselves to make distinctions between those who could use magic and those who couldn’t, and soon a magocracy was born. It’s all led to where we are now.”

>D): Look, I just came here to win a Princess…
