Inside the castle, the throne room was ever so silent; atop the throne sat a human child. Well, a species that looked like a human child even when reaching adulthood.
He was known as the Lord of Shadows, one of the top-tier lords at the time, and, to those with limited information, a contender for the Greatest Lord throne of this continent.
He was of the Subhuman Race, a collective term for the race that looked like humans. This race's special feature is their high base intelligence and childlike bodies.
They are also one of the races that have allied themselves with humans. Well, due to their childlike appearance, it wasn't too difficult to form an alliance.
These past few weeks have been hectic for him, so much so that he even felt that he might go bald. Though it's rare for his species to go bald.
Due to his territory being near the central continent, he has always been harassed by corrupted monsters. He, having created his base here, had more or less grown used to it.
