[TWO WEEKS LATER]
[Aetheria Empire—Morning, Main Street]
It had been a little over two weeks since the notorious Serial Killer Baker had been arrested and locked away in the dungeons of the Rynthall Estate.
Across the kingdom, the headlines hadn’t stopped screaming:
SERIAL KILLER BAKER BURIED! Notorious Murderer of Pregnant Omegas Finally Caught!
What in the name of the Ancients is happening to the Empire? Where were our Imperial Knights while this horror unfolded?
"He Fed Me Pie," Reveals Survivor—Chilling Confessions from the Rynthall Dungeon!
IS ANYONE SAFE? Kingdom in Frenzy as Public Demands Omega Protection Reforms!
Markets buzzed with fear. Courtiers clutched their pearls. Husbands refused to let their pregnant partners leave the house without a full guard escort. Entire towns installed curfews. The nation was in chaos.
