Chapter 31 - Unsheathed Blade of Deceit “...and that is all, Young Master.” Oboro, member of the Fangs of Steel — next in line for the head position, in fact — finished his report and I nodded. “I see, good job…time to set the plan into motion, then.” “Acknowledged.” As Oboro disappeared into the darkness, I looked up to the sky. The night sky was mostly covered by clouds, but the moonlight filtered and grew, gradually illuminating Fort Bryden. “The light of hope shines…

Chapter 32 - Demons of Suspicion and Imperial Frenzy “Ghah…!!” “Your Highness!?” The blade of the messenger turned assassin had been intercepted by Lars, using his own upper arm. While he had glaring faults as a commander, he was undoubtedly a first-class warrior. The training he received since childhood from the “Brave General” Bjorc Zagann bore fruit: the imperial prince managed to stop the attack with the least amount of damage. “Get away from our Prince!!” “Ha…h!?” Seeing blood…

Chapter 33 - Those who Rampage Below, Those who Watch from Above On the northern side of Fort Bryden… The Second Imperial Army, led by Grett Baal, received the report of a surprise attack. “Y-Your Highness!! We are under attack!!” “W-what!? Did Maxwell move!? Where are they attacking from?” “No, Sire!! It’s our allies! The First Imperial Army!!” “Whaaat!?” The knight’s report left Grett slack-jawed. He did plan to battle the First Imperial Army in the near future, but not before…

Chapter 26 - Eve of the Decisive Battle - The Soldiers’ Unease “The battle is going to start tomorrow morning, then.” “Yeah...can we really defeat the Maxwell forces, though…?” On the east side of Fort Bryden, the soldiers of Lars Baal’s First Imperial Army were eating inside a tent. The menu was wheat boiled in water sprinkled with salt: very simple but certainly not very palatable. Their bodies, taxed by the long march, however, welcomed it eagerly, savoring the warmth it brought to…

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 27 - Underhanded Ways of Skillful Warfare Dawn broke on the decisive day. Soldiers started hurrying and bustling in the fort. At the same time, noise gradually rose from the troops that surrounded it. “I suppose it’s time to officially start the battle.” I climbed on the eastern wall of the fortress and looked down at the First Imperial Army. Next to me was the messenger they had sent the day before, to deliver their ultimatum: surrender or die. His hands were tied and he was firmly held…

Chapter 35 - The First Imperial Army’s Demise “I-It’s Maxwell!!!!” “Run!! RUUUUN!!!” “GET OUT OF THE WAY, SMALL FRY!!” The Maxwell cavalry, led by Ladd Efreeta, barged into the First and Second Imperial Armies’ battlefield. The sudden assault of this third party plunged the already stormy battlefield into even further chaos. “We have two heads to take! Lars Baal and Grett Baal! You can smash the rest however you want!” “YES SIR!!” The Second Imperial Army was already shaken…

Chapter 28 - Prelude to Downfall “Damn that Maxwell and his despicable dirty tricks!!” In the First Imperial Army’s camp, Lars Baal was beside himself in indignation. In the direction he was facing, the eastern walls of Fort Bryden, the imperial soldiers were being decimated by the Maxwell forces’ counterattack. “Your Highness! We should order the troops to withdraw and reconsider our strategy!” As the attacking imperial forces were being pushed back, one of the knights at Lars’ side hastily…
