Buried Queen Saga: Backstory Of Valerius Herhardt

Duke Valerius Herhardt, the prodigy of the Herhardt lineage, was known throughout the kingdom as a brave, ruthless, and loyal leader. He stood as a beacon of hope and strength for the people, always putting their well-being above all else.

Valerius mastered the Herhardt art at the age of 7. By 13, he had manifested the ability to forge formidable weapons, earning him the title of "Prodigy Duke." At 16, he became Duke Herhardt, the youngest in history. During his reign, the elders disowned his younger brother, Lior. Valerius tried everything in his power to save him but had to honor his dying mother's wish:

Let Lior live.

Happily.

Away from us.

Honoring his mother's wish, Valerius stamped the papers of his brother's disownment with a heavy heart.

The act tore at his soul, but he channeled his emotions into his work and training, achieving feats great enough to earn him the Queen's recognition and an unexpected proposal.
