The remaining Spirit Sword was lost in the midst of the empire’s long history. Without any idea of what kind of weapon it was, nor any material documenting said treasure’s details, legends dictate that the Second Emperor was fond of it.
Within this series of weapons, the Imperial Flame Laevateinn was the most prized by the First Emperor.
And yet, none of the emperors following him were ever selected by this weapon.
However, a long period of 1000 years flowed by. The owner of the Spirit Sword・Imperial Flame Laevateinn has finally appeared.
The 6th Imperial Princess, Celia・Estreya・Elizabeth・Von・Grantz.
A Princess who holds the Imperial Flame Laevateinn could never be simply married off to another country. Her father, the Emperor, bestowed the rank of Major General upon the 6th Imperial Princess, in addition to appointing her as the commander of Taoen fort (which was under the First Imperial Army’s jurisdiction).
However, there were those who could not stay quiet and accept this decision.
――they were the successors to the throne.
As the centripetal force of the 6th Princess being chosen by Imperial Flame Laevateinn livened up the day, she began to receive support from the people, claiming that this was the second coming of the First Emperor.
Deciding that it would be dangerous to leave the surroundings of the Imperial Capital alone, the Commander of the First Imperial Army: 1st Imperial Prince Rein・Hart・Schtobel・Von・Grantz(10), relegated the 6th Princess to a remote location.
Normally, when other successors used their military forces privately, they would receive strong criticism. However, this was the one and only time when such a thing did not happen.
The reason for this was because the others in line to succeed the throne shared the feelings of the First Prince.
Rather, they cooperated in placing pressure on the nobles who sided with Liz.
Before Liz, who ended up losing her supporters, was the commander of this frontier fortress.
If lives were lost along the way, it was not necessarily a guarantee that the Schtobel faction would send troops to their aid.
It was also possible that another successor to the imperial throne may dispatch troops.
Passing through the dangers that they were presented with, it was absolutely crucial for Liz’s group to make it to Belk Fortress.
