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 30 - Sowing Distrust One week had passed since the conflict between the Maxwell army and the imperial forces began. Throughout that period, the empire never stopped attacking. At times from the front, at times with ploys and traps, they tried to take down Fort Bryden in all sorts of ways, but the Maxwell army repelled each attempt. The imperial allied forces won in terms of numbers, but the First Imperial Army was intimidated by the poison and gunpowder, while the Second Imperial Army and Imperial…

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.

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 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 19 - Meanwhile, the Creep... 【POV: Grett Baal】 “Aah..some...one...please...” The young girl stretched her hands, pleading for help. I ignored her feeble attempt and tightened my grip on her thin neck. “Damn you!! Damn you all!! Why can’t you idiots stop getting in my way!?” “...kah...aah...” “If only you did as I say, both the empire and the rest of the world would head in the right direction!! Why can’t you grasp such a simple concept!?” The girl’s hands eventually…

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…
