A great plague savaged through the empire, at first this seemed like a minor plague in a random village and only a part of an army was sent with a couple of doctors and healers, but when they arrived at the village they realized they were dead wrong, the villagers were dead and some of them turned into undead, a doctor wanted to examine the undead but he got bit and turned into one of them after a couple of minutes and so everyone there died.
The Great Plague spread so fast that half of the empire was infected when the emperor was notified of this outbreak, he closed down the capital immediately but this wasn't enough to prevent the great plague from getting inside, the first wall was already breached and the second wall was a lost cause, the third wall had to be protected because after the third wall came the fourth wall, the fourth wall was the palace wall and the area between the third wall and the fourth wall was the military and noble areas but the second prince and the third prince were killed because of peasants rebelling against the nobility.
The emperor ordered the execution of the peasants but they outnumbered the knights and the knights lost against the peasants and then the third wall fell because of the internal war they had, the knight's chain of command was destroyed, the whole fucking army of empire was killed, the whole cabinet of the empire was killed but there were one people who survived all of the battles they had, the crown prince and his secret admirer, she saved the crown prince's life many times and she was the sole reason that the crown prince survived all of his battles, they were waiting in the fourth wall but then the prince noticed a couple of peasants running from the undead, the fourth wall's gate was closed because the emperor ordered it to be closed but the crown prince wasn't going to leave his people so he ordered the gate to be opened just for them and rushed outside and his secret admirer followed him with the rest of the knights.
