In the 15th year of Hongwu's reign, eight-year-old Crown Prince Sheldon mysteriously died and was buried. However, his body later disappeared. Enraged, Emperor Hongwu executed over a thousand officials. Nine years later, in Aetheria, Hayes spoke with an elderly man by the Hollow River. The old man claimed he had escaped from his coffin and been surrounded by the Imperial Guard at age eight. The old man's eyes welled up, hands trembled, and he eagerly called Hayes his grandson, revealing himself as Emperor Hongwu. He declared Hayes his rightful heir. Hayes dismissed this, believing the old man was merely drunk.
