Few citizens of Krat do not know who V is, The crown prince of high society the man who came up with the Grand Covenant of the automated puppets and built the best manufacturing company at the age of 18. The man who's always fancy and is passionate about making people laugh. V is the most hated and beloved man in Krat. but his innocent passion makes even his opponents sentimental.
However, even fewer people are aware of the tragedy he experienced in his youth.
The true nature of the death of V's parents was covered up. Officially, they're victims of a homicide during a mugging, Even though V experienced such a tragedy in his youth, he grew up with a cheerful personality and became a well-known person whom any parents would be proud of. However, there is no one who knows that V secretly requests for the case history every year, and that his request is always denied. Suspicion surrounded this tragedy at the time, and there is known to have been pressure from the Workshop and the Alchemists throughout the investigation.
The most interesting hypothesis is that the murderer is not human. If this is true, it explains the Workshop and the Alchemists' suspicious attempts to cover it up. It also explains how V was obsessed with intentions and success from his youth. This is where the real tragedy of Krat lies.
Even V, the richest and most influential in all of Krat, can't come close to their power.
On the other hand, this fact includes another truth. Have you noticed? The state's censorship is keeping me from writing it, but as a writer, I'm curious if people are ready to accept the truth. The truth that there's a murderer made of steel that walks among us.
Perhaps our world of Krat is not such a safe place after all.
