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.

Not everything could be done that way, of course, so sometimes I took care of the paperwork. Presently in the study, there were only two people: me and my father, the current Margrave Maxwell. It felt somewhat awkward working alone with…
