Chapter 10 - The Golden-Haired Princess Makes Her Decision The man who interrupted our conversation was Rajang Salazar, captain of the Imperial Knights, who consented to stand as witness to the meeting with my brother Lars.

Chapter 5 - Invitation from a beautiful...childhood friend The crowning ceremony concluded without a hitch: Sulley Lamperouge thus became King Lamperouge V. The only “unusual” thing, so to speak, was that the role of placing the crown on the young prince’s head was taken by Duke Rosais, the royal chancellor, in place of the bed-ridden (now former) king. Also, in the ceremony the new king did not wear “Herakles”, as custom dictated, but a golden bracelet studded with gemstones. “The royal…

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 younger…

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…-

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…
