Chapter 423: Third-Person Personal History Perspective 3
The Wesley family had been the ducal house guarding the northern part of the kingdom for generations. As befitting the title of Duke in K-fantasy, they had a touch of royal blood, receiving blessings from the Goddess and treated as nobility while protecting the harsh snowfields.
Unlike the tragic tales of siblings massacring each other and shouting "Succeeding you, father!" to become the Duke, this noble house had steadfastly maintained its position as a pillar of the kingdom. The only slight issue was that when Heroes Chronicle Season 2 began, an empire suddenly appeared in the kingdom's north.
Because of this, the Wesley family's role shifted from being the Northern Duke protecting the kingdom from the harsh snowfield's monsters to being the Northern Duke maintaining order at the border with the empire.
To describe it in the most similar way possible... It felt like the Minister of Defense being forcibly transferred to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"Hmm... This seems like some kind of character quest, doesn't it? Maybe a clue to upgrade Katie to 6★, or something like a performance upgrade similar to awakening.
The problem is that it's telling us to go to the northern part of the empire, not the kingdom, where a monster wave has occurred."
-Haha, are they forcing us to go to the empire just to get a taste of what they've created?
-For real, I guess the empire was created for a character enhancement event.
-The party members are already fixed from Season 1 with the Goddess's approval, so it's probably not for additional recruitment.
