Erwin was the ruler of Paradis, a growing kingdom with a grim past and a dark future ahead. Surrounding kingdoms regarded Paradis as a kingdom of monsters, telling tales to their children of the monstrous titans that haunted the coast of Paradis Island and the devils that lived there.

Imagine the king’s surprise when he received a letter from an outlying kingdom with an offer, a partnership forged in the arranged marriage of the ruler of Paradis and the crown heir of this neighboring kingdom.

Imagine the people’s surprise as this heir was brought to Mitras and announced as their King Erwin’s betrothed. Celebrations broke out across the kingdom, the revelry lasting far into the night, the lights and sounds reaching the balcony overlooking the capital city where Erwin would find himself.
