Russell!
The new Grand Duke of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy!
At this moment, the nobles, commoners, and serfs enjoying the warm sunshine of the warm season had no idea that a new grand duke had already been chosen within Shadowflame Volcano.
On the trade road linking Fire Ant Swamp to Volcanic Oasis, Cousin Mel rode the Iron Feather Grey Crane, Mora, his heart brimming with excitement as he looked forward to the future. Annie Xuanfuhua sat inside the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at Mel's back, her face likewise radiant with a happy smile.
At the end of the trade road ahead.
The vassal lords of the Monochoria Family were already waiting at the market near the underground caverns to welcome Mel and the others.

As soon as the play began, it first thanked Earl Thunderflame for providing inspiration, then thanked Marquis Arno for helping revise it.
The story of the Dark Ages unfolded upon the estate's crude stage in dramatic form.
The mighty Ice Giants, the unyielding Dragon Domain Lords, and countless human ancestors fighting without regard for their lives sent the serfs into one climax after another, howling with excitement.
"It's as good as the Suluo Trilogy!" commented a knight mingling among the serfs to watch the play.
Meanwhile, Dark Chronicles was also being performed at the opera house in distant Furious Wind
