Crystal Tharot—that was the name of the woman sitting before them. She was the last ruler of the Kingdom of Avernia.
Of course, her authority didn't come from being the original monarch; she had only taken the throne after the king's death five years ago.
According to historical records, Crystal was known as a strong, resolute, and brilliant leader.
The Kingdom of Avernia survived the relentless assaults of the mighty Kingdom of Aldoria solely because of her.
If not for her sharp mind in both strategy and diplomacy, Merlin doubted Avernia could have survived for so long.
After all, in terms of military might, Avernia was hopelessly outmatched.
Unfortunately, her end was a tragic one. After Avernia finally fell, Crystal was exiled to a distant land.
From that moment on, her name vanished from history.
If Merlin remembered correctly, in the novel, Abel had mentioned that Crystal was killed on her way to exile.
