But by the time she had returned, the queen was dead. Kalista had sailed to the Blessed Isles and learned of the Waters of Life, which could cure any disease. As the armies of Camavor prepared to set sail, Kalista had returned with word of a cure. Hecarim proposed invading foreign lands as retribution for the queen and Viego approved. Eventually, the queen would pass and the king sank into a deep depression. He ordered commander Hecarim and his knights to quash these insurrections and hundreds were put to death. While the king was preoccupied with keeping the queen alive, the kingdom continued to be neglected and uprisings plagued the country. The king ordered the nation's greatest healers and scholars to find a cure for the queen, but when they failed, he sent Kalista to search for one instead. However, Isolde was poisoned in his place. They had sent an assassin to kill the wayward king, but they were intercepted by general Kalista. Viego had begun to neglect his kingdom in favor of his queen and his enemies began to conspire against him. The two had a whirlwind romance and were quickly married. Shortly into his reign, Viego had fallen in love with a peasant seamstress named Isolde. Kalista was tasked by Viego's father to monitor his rule and steer him in the right direction. When his father had passed, Viego was to be crowned the king, despite being unprepared. Viego's best friend was his own niece, Kalista, and she would end up becoming his most trusted general. Viego was tutored by the greatest minds in the land and learned swordsmanship from his father's generals. Due to being the fourth born child of the king, he was largely neglected in favor of his brother and spent his childhood in his shadow. Viego was born centuries ago to the royal family of Camavor, significantly later than his brother.
