„When Ceridwen got killed, something inside Aldrin finally shattered beyond repair. With her death, the last remnants of his hope and belief in goodness died as well. The unbearable grief of losing the life they had dreamed of together consumed him entirely, dragging him into a deep depression. Though consumed by thoughts of revenge and desperate to slaughter the Count, his father, and every person responsible for their suffering, he never lived long enough to fulfill it.

Only one year later, weakened by both his illness and the crushing weight of his sorrow, he died a lonely and agonizing death - filled with bitterness, rage, and hatred for the life that had been stolen from him. His soul was ultimately consumed by a demonic entity feared throughout the region as the Reed Devil.

The spirit relentlessly haunted his father, tormenting him night after night with visions, whispers, and death lurking within every shadow of his estate. What began as fear slowly drove the Count into madness as the horrors surrounding House Grace worsened with each passing season. And eventually, the Reed Devil claimed him too. With the Count’s death, his reign finally came to an end and house Grace was dragged into ruin by the very son the Count had once tried so desperately to erase.

After Aldrin became the Reed Devil, his spirit is believed to have found Ceridwen once more within the storm-covered reedwind fields where she was killed. There, beneath dark skies and the whispering of the reeds, the two were reunited in death just as they once swore they would be, haunting the lands together.“
