Book 14 (1 of 5)
Recap
Regis d’Auric was a young soldier inept in swordplay and horsemanship, spending all his time reading. He was transferred to the borders, where he met a girl with vermillion hair and crimson eyes— Marie Quatre Argentina de Belgaria. Nickname, Altina.
Her mother was a commoner, and she was chased out of the palace for this. Despite being just fourteen, she was appointed the commander of a border regiment because of her status as a royal… She didn’t lament her fate resolving herself to change the Empire for the sake of the oppressed people.
「I want to become Empress, lend me your wisdom.」
In order to be acknowledged by others as a commander, Altina challenged the hero Jerome who was the de facto leader, and won.
Regis didn’t have any confidence in himself, but he still promised to be her strategist.
The two of them experienced a series of hardships.
The attack of the barbarians.
