Chapter 29 - The Three Guardians 【POV: Dyngir Maxwell*】 *(TL Note: the original usually doesn’t list any POV when the perspective goes back to Dyngir, I added it to avoid any confusion) The first day of war between the Margrave Maxwell forces and the Baal Empire ended with a crushing victory for our Maxwell forces. As the sun set, the imperial forces withdrew into their camp. We setup troops to stand guard and spot any night raids, but today the empire would need to reorganize their troops…

Chapter 34 - Woes of a Knight Captain — and a Father 【POV: Rajang Salazar】 The First and Second Imperial Armies were fighting fiercely — against each other. The Maxwell forces then joined the fray, plunging the battlefield into complete chaos. Watching it all unfold from a distance, I sighed. “How…how utterly foolish. Those are the Imperial Princes, supposed to shoulder the future of our empire…?” I, Rajang Salazar, had the position of Captain of the Imperial Knights. The late emperor…

Chapter 25 - Eve of the Decisive Battle - The Fallen Wise General 【POV: Snowe Halphas】 “Here...at last.” I quietly whispered to myself as I looked up at Fort Bryden, a key stronghold of the Maxwell territory. Fort Bryden was a square-shaped fortress. The steep mountains on its west side made it impossible to house a large army, so it could only be assaulted from the other three cardinal directions. The imperial forces had already surrounded the fort. The First Imperial Army would attack from…

Chapter 18 - Fools Dance on Others’ Palms 【POV: Lars Baal】 Baal Empire, imperial court. Unable to contain my anger, I slammed my fists on the table. “What the hell is going on!? This is nothing like you told me!!” “I have no words to apologize, Milord. It was an inexplicable, unforeseeable event, apparently.” I shouted at the subordinate kneeling before me, Snowe Halphas, whose head just sank lower. Looking at him, however, did not calm my raging spirits at all. I continued hurling abuse at…

Chapter 24 - Conditions of Victory Following the empire’s declaration of war, I led the Maxwell territory’s forces to Fort Bryden. It was my first time visiting the fort in 5 years: the preparation for the empire’s large-scale invasion filled it with a heavy atmosphere. During the war council, it was decided that I would lead 5,000 of the 7,000 troops that formed the eastern nobles’ allied forces. My old man was in charge of the remaining 2,000, posted in the Maxwell territory’s capital of…

Chapter 21 - The Moron Drinks and Refuses to Dance 【POV: Cerros Baal】 On the easternmost regions of the Baal Empire was the town of Xinania, a fortress city on the border with the Huang Dynasty and my home base. Xinania was originally part of the Huang territories, until the late emperor took it by force. Because of this, oriental culture and customs were still very much alive, and most of its citizens had skin color closer to the typical Huang “yellow” instead of the classic Imperial…

Chapter 20 - The Creep Dances Willingly 【 POV: Grett Baal】 “It takes guts to show your face before me, I’ll give you that.” “...I am aware of the trouble we have caused for Your Highness too, due to the recent events.” I glared at the man kneeling before me, as if showing deference. The man, named Snowe Halphas, was a knight and my brother Lars’ second in command. He surely knew in advance about the plan of sending Rossellia to the Maxwells. It might have even been his idea. I barely…

Chapter 23 - Knight and Former Knight 【POV: Shana Salazar】 My name is Shana Salazar. I am a warrior. … ……………… …..hm? What else should I say? Well then...I come from the Baal empire. I’m 20 years old. I used to be an adventurer, but due to certain circumstances currently I’m the bodyguard and lover of Dyngir Maxwell, a noble of the Lamperouge kingdom. My main weapon is the spear, but I can also hold my own with the sword and bow. That day, I was swinging my spear at the…
