Agares Blight: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

He was married to the noble [[Sara Blight|Sara]] by the time he took the throne in 434 and his son, [[Luca Blight|Luca]] was born the same year. The marriage was an arranged one, although Agares still felt love for his wife. Indeed, some of Agares' desire for peace may have been entrusted to him by his wife.

In 443, nine years after Agares took the throne, the Blight royal caravan was attacked by a group of bandits. There, Agares abandoned his wife and son Luca and made for [[L'Renouille|the capital]]. Although later rescued by the [[Highland Army]], Luca would always hold his father responsible for the events and their repercussions, including the madness and eventual death of Sara. Realising Luca's hatred, Agares would begin to gradually distance himself from his son. Meanwhile, Agares was always distant and unaffectionate with his step-daughter [[Jillia Blight|Jillia]], who was conceived during the violation of Sara.

In 443, nine years after Agares took the throne, the Blight royal caravan was attacked by what was ostensibly a group of bandits, although the equipment and training of the brigands indicated they were trained by [[Muse]]. There, Agares abandoned his wife and son Luca and made for [[L'Renouille|the capital]].

Realising Luca's hatred, Agares would begin to gradually distance himself from his son. Meanwhile, Agares was always distant and unaffectionate with his step-daughter [[Jillia Blight|Jillia]], who was conceived during the violation of Sara.

Although the continuing peace agreement with Jowston was said to have regarded as his highest achievement, Agares' pacifist policies led to fierce opposition from within the military and he would later reluctantly entrust the command of the military to Luca in order to reduce the dissatisfaction of the army. Despite this, it is said that the prince was not necessarily any more talented in that area than Agares. Older generals such as [[Han Cunningham]] would continue to support Agares, while younger generals such as [[Seed]] and [[Culgan]] supported Luca and his appointment as commander of the Highland Army. Agares would devote his time to political affairs following this appointment.
