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 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…

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 22 - Before the Armies Clash...a Tea Party with the Princess One month had passed since Rossellia began her stay in the Maxwell province. After the attempt on her life, we immediately sent a formal letter of protest to the empire, but it was met with nothing but accusations of “speaking nonsense” and unilateral requests of “returning Rossellia immediately”. The planned assassination was treated as if it never happened. According to our spies, Lars Baal had managed to form an allied army,…

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…
