Rumor has it that Prince Alex has asked a man to set a fire in one of the villages near the army camp, where people are most likely to be infected with the plague. The rumor is that Alex killed many people when the regent came to power, and that the capital city has been covered with rivers to clean it up.

He says that if the people hadn't told him about it, he wouldn't have been so worried about sophia. Three hundred years ago, the plague was first seen in gronia.

Sophia would be burned to death, he says, if it weren't for the fact that burning the source is the only thing that can prevent more people getting infected. He tells us that five years ago he told his mother that he was going to protect her, but he killed her family, including her entire family when she gave birth to a child of his enemy
