Chapter 6 - Four Rogues Under One Roof Among the residences concentrated in the royal capital’s noble district, one mansion stood out especially. House Thunderbird, which prospered thanks to maritime trade, was unrivaled among the Four Houses in terms of financial power. The size and luxury of its manor was clear proof: both dwarfed the other noble residences of the district. “It seems like the other two have arrived already. Come on in, Dyn.” “All right.” Echidna led me down a corridor and…

CHAPTER 2 - Every Country has its Bastards 【POV: Grett Baal, second prince of the Baal empire】 “It’s amazing, really. I’m surrounded by imbeciles.” After the round table conference, I walked down the court’s corridor, recalling the discussions and my idiotic brothers. My elder brother, Lars Baal, is loved and respected by some for his honest personality, but can never become merciless when it’s truly necessary: as a result, he is collecting failure after failure. My younger…

CHAPTER 1 - Every Country has its Fools 【POV: Lars Baal, first prince of the Baal empire】 How could this be happening? I was supposed to walk on a path of triumph and glory. I was supposed to inherit my father’s throne, to see the empire’s flags wave all over the continent, to be remembered in the history books a thousand years from now, as the unifier emperor. In these last 10 years, however, my life has turned upside down. Ten years ago, my father issued a certain decree. 『The seat of the…

Interlude 7 - The Feast Starts with Fireworks The first division troops, led by Bjorc Zagann, were proceeding through the mountain. 500 armed soldiers were climbing up the mountain path, stepping over grass, crossing through the bushes. The scouts previously sent by Eis Halphas had mapped the mountain paths completely. They had to avoid being seen by anyone for their ambush to succeed, so they chose roundabout paths that the locals seldom used. The faces of the soldiers trailing up the steep mountain…-

Interlude 6 - Battle Preparations “Stand by in the rear with 30 attendants, Salm and Ladd included. Going to the frontlines is prohibited. The rest is left to your judgement...is that all?” “Yes. His Lordship insisted that you do not do anything rash, young master.” “Doesn’t he trust me at all!? Damn stubborn old geezer...” I heard my orders from a soldier and looked up at the sky, irritated. The empire’s army was scheduled to arrive at the fort the next day; the old man was going to set…

Interlude 8 - The Old Hero Swings his Spear “Bjorc Zagann...as heroic as the rumors...!!” He had not introduced himself, nor had I ever met him before. But I couldn’t imagine there being another man brimming with such a gallant aura and fighting spirit in the empire. “You are the leader of this group? So young...no, a child.” Zagann spoke while looking at me. His tone was calm, but each one of the words he uttered was full of a chilling killing intent. His intimidating aura felt like it made the…

Interlude 9 - A New Hero Swings His Sword (He’s something. Quite like a young lion...no, a young dragon.) Zagann praised the young boy before him as he swung his 【Seiten Taisei】. He made his halberd lighter, swung it, and slammed it down after making it heavy again. It sounded simple in words, but it was the very reason why Zagann had buried countless enemies in his military career, the technique that made him undefeated. Each one of his blows could be lethal, but the boy, who barely had any…

Interlude 11 - The Dragon Soars to the Heavens “So this is the battlefield. What a majestic sight.” The imperial army to the right, the eastern province’s forces to the left. Our horses advanced proudly exactly in the middle of the two unmoving forces. I was carrying a spear wrapped in cloth. My new trusted blade, 【Siegfried】, was safe in the scabbard at my waist. “Hahaha, this is awesome!! Both armies are huge!!” “A few thousands of soldiers, simply standing there...that is enough to…
