The news he received was that before Queen Asina became the Emperor, she had a relatively minor struggle with Lady Lucia, who was third in line to the throne, which ended with Lady Lucia's defeat.
Afterward, Lady Lucia disappeared from the Imperial Palace, missing for nearly three years.
On the day that Lady Lucia vanished, a Black Dragon that blocked out the sun passed over the Imperial City; many of the city's citizens saw this Black Dragon, and later a rumor circulated within the Imperial Palace that Lady Lucia had been taken away by the Black Dragon.
This led some nobles and ministers to think that Lady Lucia was confined by Queen Asina, while others believed she had been captured by the Black Dragon.
As for where the missing Lady Lucia actually went, it became a mystery. Over time, no one spoke of the Imperial Princess anymore.
