Book 11: Recap, Prologue, Intermission
Recap
Regis Auric was a young soldier who was bad at swordsmanship, horsemanship and only knew how to read. After being exiled to the borders, he met a crimson eyed and vermillion haired girl——Marie Quatre Argentina de Belgaria. Nicknamed Altina.
Her mother was a commoner and because of that she was banished from the courts. Despite being just 14 years of age, her status as royalty elevated her to the position of commander of the border regiment. She did not lament her fate, instead resolving herself to change the Empire for the citizens oppressed by the tyrannical government.
“I want to be the Empress, lend me your wisdom and swear fealty to me.”
In order to let others acknowledge her position as commander, Altina challenged the de facto commander, the hero Jerome to a duel, and achieved the final victory.
Although Regis still lacked confidence in himself, he still promised to be her strategist.
The two of them went through all sorts of crisis.
The attack of the barbarians.
