- The Larbas Plains - the easternmost region of the empire and the entire continent. The vast, endless prairie is so grand that anyone witnessing it for the first time is said to pause in awe for a while. However, the temperature extremes between seasons can be severe, with lakes even freezing over at night. Being far removed from populated areas, merchants rarely visit either. As a result, for a long time the nomads have continued living in this land without leaving. Tsukimikado Mayo has been…

- From that day on, I made the innermost room of the cave my base. Basically, monsters can't come in here, so I've been sleeping here. And except for the times when I drink water and eat meat, I keep poring over the mysterious book. I don't know how long I've been living this kind of life for. “..................” This book is written in ancient continental script and frankly it's quite difficult to decipher. When I lived in the imperial palace, I received some education, so I can partially read…

- ‘......What is this?’ As I proceeded through the natural cave, the wall had what clearly looked like a door embedded in it. No, more accurately, it was a rock face with the design of a door carved into it. At the centre was a vertical hollow cavity, and if I turned sideways, it seemed I could advance through to the other side. “.................” Just who made this...? No, more fundamentally, is this really a natural cave? Until reaching this point, I had felt a sense of dissonance.…

- “Welcome, everyone, to our great lands.” “This is…” “The easternmost territory of the empire…” About three months after the intense battle on the bridge, Karan and others finally crossed over the mountains and forests, arriving at the plains. While it would have taken Karan alone only about a month, with a large group including children, their pace was much slower. Mayo went ahead and surveyed the plains anew. “Amazing...the land stretches out endlessly…” “We, the…

- “Ugh...unh…” It seems I was asleep again. But the pain throughout my entire body has worsened. I must have injured myself when falling from above. Regardless of the damage, my stamina has recovered thanks to getting some solid rest. My head also feels clear now. “Ngh...it's pitch black…” Of course, with no light sources, I can't make out my surroundings. After thinking for a bit, I decided to activate my engraved crest power. “Never thought I'd be grateful for this crest power…

- I remember those distant days. The world consisted only of magnificent buildings and noble mothers. We received advanced education from our teachers, cultivating the refinement befitting aristocrats. Occasionally, we would have tea parties and play with siblings. Living such carefree days, I had neither anxiety nor dissatisfaction about my future. When the crest appeared on my left eye at the age of eight, it caused a bit of a stir at the time. The captain of the Imperial Guard remarked that it…

- “They have a special sealing crest...!” Spears of light were flying towards us from the pursuers. Somehow, my master managed to cut them down but the people around were shaken. However, the situation didn't allow for any delay. “Hurry! Cross quickly!” Already, some, including Karan-dono, had started crossing the bridge. I observed the bridge closely, seeing it for the first time in a while. ‘Consider wielding a spear on horseback, the enemies can't cross the bridge unless they form…

- “… If we continue like this, we'll be detected by the Imperial forces expanding to the north. Let's take a slight detour.” On that day, I bid farewell to the imperial capital, which I had considered my second home. Together with Mayo-sama, the royal guard Shizuku-san, and several warriors and their families, we left the capital before the sun fully rose. Karan-dono led the way and my master accompanied us at the rear. ‘We may not be a hundred, but still, this number is considerable.…

- And then the next day. As my master had mentioned, an announcement was made by the Emperor to the people remaining in the imperial capital. While I, who had heard the story in advance was somewhat prepared, other warriors and the citizens who still didn't evacuate and stayed in the imperial capital were anxious about the future of the empire. Nevertheless, most warriors chose to become mercenaries and were hired by the Emperor. Some had resolved to stay with the Emperor until the end, while others…

- In the imperial capital, Imperial soldiers had been present for five days. However, there was still no sign of movement from the enemy. “Are they...waiting for our food supply to run out?” “I wonder. Or perhaps they have a goal of causing us to lose morale.” For about a month leading up to the retreat to the imperial capital, we experienced numerous skirmishes. And in the midst of those battles, Masaomi went missing. While Kiyoka returned to the imperial capital, Masaomi did not come…
