Raja Aldric yang merupakan Raja ke-3 sempat membuat keputusan untuk membebaskan negeri itu dan membiarkannya berdiri tanpa Raja. Hal tersebut dikarenakan sebuah ramalan yang menyebutkan bahwa ada salah satu keturunannya yang mempunyai aura kegelapan yang begitu pekat, dan bahkan bisa merubah kesucian negeri itu hanya dengan kalimat manisnya yang berbisa.

Anak itu lahir dari sepasang suami-istri seorang peri dan seorang siluman naga. Sedangkan beberapa hari sebelum peristiwa itu, seorang anak berdarah peri dan siluman naga pertama lahir dari putri kedua Raja Aldric, atau sebut saja adiknya sendiri. Orazio yang mengetahui hal itu pun berusaha melenyapkan anak itu. Namun, kekuatannya dengan kekuatan siluman naga sepadan, hingga membuatnya sulit untuk mendekati anak itu.

Hal itu tentu membuat Andrio--menantu Raja Aldric meninggalkan istri serta putranya.
