In a perfect world where the Kings of each realm, White and Black, rule over their respective halves, rarely does anything go wrong. On the anniversary of the Kings' coronations, however, a woman interrupts the ceremony, screaming about the suffering of innocents, to the Kings' bewilderment and the Queens' exasperation. Though the woman was sent away, the Kings thought long and hard about what she had said. Skeletons are hidden under beds, mocking laughing resonates within castle walls, and hands are stained in crimson. In a perfect world, there's a dagger beneath everyone's pillow. A dagger that will be drawn once the Kings discover the truth behind this world's existence. Especially when they see another.
