The second prince of Lothric was deemed a pitiable being destined to be a Lord of Cinder from birth.
However, this second prince seemed to bear a curse, frail and sickly. His brother, Prince Lorien, willingly shared the curse to protect him, intertwining their souls. Hence, when people speak of the Prince of Lothric, they often refer to the two of them. At some point, the Prince of Lothric began to resist the Fire Transmission, even outright opposing it, preparing to welcome the coming dark age after the flame fades.
If a Lord of Cinder refuses to transmit fire, then naturally it is the turn of the Undead.
But alas, Prince Lorien is simply too formidable.
This prince led an army to the lair of demons and single-handedly defeated the Demon Prince born from the Bed of Chaos. Even sharing his brother's curse, he is a formidable force not to be reckoned with by ordinary people.
There was no choice.
