Okay here's something that's been bothering me a bit. Since Alice the 8th it's been five hundred years, and there have been 8 monster lords since then. That makes about 62 years per reign. Problem is that monster lords, like all monsters, are probably capable of living for hundreds of years. We know that the selection process for the next lord begins when the current one dies, so this means that every single monster lord from the 8th gen to the current has more or less died extremely early in her lifespan.

We know the 15th, Alice's mom, died to Marcellus and party, but what about the others? According to in-game lore there hasn't been a celebrated story of a hero slaying a monster lord since Heinrich, 500 years ago, which means most of the monster lords since then have probably died of other causes.

Were they assassinated by other monsters? It's a perplexing question.
