It had been a long time...a very long time. Days locked up in his office, working hard to restore order. He had to do this. So many people looked to him for instruction. For a way. He had to lead them to a shining new future. Not just for their sake but for his own sake as well. Empty. That's how his whole being felt. Tired, stressed, and somewhat moody, he has set out to finalize the plans for Pherae. His eyes started to droop. Yeah. A nap sounds great right about now. He had seen Ai earlier this morning. It was nice seeing her. After this last batch a nice walk wuth her was in order. His twin was recovering well, too. Everything was looking up. In the gentle grasp of sleep Roy was finally able to notice his surroundings. It was a quiet day. He could feel the warmth of the sun coming through the window on his back. Warm...he finally felt...content. "This is...nice." And then darkness. Months later and Pherae shining brightly, a jewel of a kingdom. It's people prospered, and everything looked like I was finally at peace. It was all thanks to the hard work of the Marquess...who lay next to his father, the mental strain and physical exertion a sacrifice he made for his people. May Pherae prosper.
