Chapter 1 . 1: Prologue
Go onwards, do not falter .
A volley of arrows hails down from the sky again .
I swing my sword to parry them and then lunge forward, running the blade through two enemies and cutting down another .
Do not fall .
Today cannot be the last day of Secretia!
A new enemy rushes forward, brandishing his sword with practised skill .
I block it, and the man asks,
“I remember you . What is your name?”
“I don’t remember . ”
I am only a sword that serves King Oros .
The man maneuvers his weapon expertly and shatters my blade .
“That sword…that is Chase’s Auro . I’ve always wished to see it . ”
Instead of answering, I swing the hilt at him . He doesn’t bother to avoid it, and instead shoots a spear of ice .
I cannot stop it .
– Puuk!
I can hear the sound of my life thrumming in my ears .
It’s getting difficult to breath .
“I am the army commander of the Caillis Magic Division, Arsen Hertz . I will remember you, Prince Bern of Secretia . You have fought valiantly . ”
I lift my eyes to stare into the distance .
Your Majesty…My elder brother…I tried to search for you .
“So now, rest . ”
I can see light–
I’m going to die .
That was the last memory I had .
I open my eyes to ten years in the past .
I found myself in the body of the third prince Calian of the Kingdom of Kailis, the same one that destroyed my country of Secretia .
Calian .
A weak prince, whose bloodline was the descendant of dragons .
He was a timid boy who had little influence and no ability to protect himself, and so he spent his life in hiding and was assassinated even before he was fifteen .
That was the future ahead of me .
“What are you going to do now?” the image of Calian in the mirror asks .
I answered .
“Naturally . ”
I have to live .
