A man was running down a long hallway.

He had come home after a long day of hard work.

The servants who greeted him were frightened, they had been looking for him everywhere.

The man upon hearing the news that the servants informed him, threw everything to run to that room.

After opening the door, he found a group of people crying.

The maids, a doctor... and a girl resting her forehead on her mother's chest.

Who closed her eyes forever a couple of minutes ago.

"Jody... Kate, your mother..."

The man─ a young Sieghart arrived too late.

His daughter raised her head and saw her father.

With tears in her eyes reflected a look of pure hatred.

"Why are you just now arriving?"

"For three days now mother has been battling her illness, we went two days without sleep for taking care of her."

"She was constantly spitting up blood. The border is only half a day from here, tell me, where the fuck were you to be late?"

"Do you know the last thing she saw before she went blind?"

"Do you know what her last words were?"

"No. If you were here, you would have heard how she only uttered your name, not mine or anyone else's."

"Your name she spoke it fondly, hoping to see or hear you one last time. In the end she just smiled accepting her fate, and to make it worse on her college day."

His daughter's icy, venomous words wounded him so much that Sieghart avoided her gaze.

"Kate, I─"

"Don't talk to me. I'm disgusted by the sight of you."

"As of today I will no longer be a part of this family."

Her daughter threw the family crest to the floor.

She walked to the door, ignoring her father, and opened the door.

Before closing it, she looked with bloodshot eyes at her father and said words that to this day she remembers.

"Your wife when she needed you most, she died, you weren't here to do your job, how do you feel now that your daughter left you too?"

"Kate!"

◇◇◇

Sieghart woke up big.

He was in his room.

He looked around and in the distance was a portrait when his daughter was little.

At present she is alive, she has a family and son.

But he cannot see them.

She doesn't want him to see her grandson, she even threatened to kill him if he sees him coming.

That's why Sieghart spends his time working and hardly comes to sleep.

He wants to avoid seeing his "mistake".

He knows that protecting the country is important.

But... he can't do anything.

He got up to go to breakfast.

A servant knocked on the door.

"My lord. Are you awake?"

"Yes. Is something wrong?"

He replied after wiping his eyes with a towel.

"Your Majesty Liam request you immediately at the palace, the audience is about to begin."

"I understand, give me a few minutes."

"Are you going to have breakfast?"

"No. I'll just have water."

Normally dressing in his armor didn't take him long.

So this time was just to look at his family's box.

He sat in a chair and repeated the same thing over and over again.

"I'm sorry."

◇◇◇

Today was important for the Brune Kingdom.

A week ago an attack from the Principality of Frazier happened.

Many died, there was chaos and losses.

But most importantly, the evil lord Calvin died.

His heir too.

At this time the only person who could rule was the last remaining Frazier, Henry.

He was in a special prison in the palace.

It was a luxury room with a built-in bathroom, food three times a day and he could go out into the garden whenever he wanted without leaving the palace domain.

This VIP treatment was because Henry agreed to hand over the territory to Brune.

Many would complain, but Henry didn't care.

He wished to help his country, if he had to lower his head to save them all he would.

That was what his grandfather wished, that he would rule, but that price was losing his status as ruler.

He was informed beforehand that he would become part of Brune.

An acting duke so as to keep his lineage alive.

Henry was eating breakfast in his room waiting for the change of clothes that meant the destined hour would begin.

"Henry-sama, His Majesty the king requests you."

"Understood. I'll go right away."

Henry understood that the time had come.

The time to say goodbye to this tragic event and put an end to this.

◇◇◇

"I thank you all for coming, we will immediately begin negotiations to reinstate the principality to Brune."

In the chamber of ministers, they were all ready to carry out the paperwork so that there would be no problem in integrating a vassal state.

Henry knew it was all formalism, but they needed proof and witnesses to see it through.

Sieghart was at the king's side watching everything.

This would take a long time, so they had lunches prepared every so often.

Sometime later this day would be remembered as an important historical date.

◇◇◇

In one of the rooms of the palace, while the meeting between the king and Henry was taking place.

Sig was talking to Alfred.

"Everything is going well."

"I'd say too much..."

"What's the matter Sig?"

Alfred asked and Sig was staring out the window.

"In that chaos that occurred with Calvin we witnessed two important events."

"The first is that we now know who is responsible for the attack that occurred months ago as well as the group that Marquis Catley belonged to."

"The cult, right?"

"What an odd name."

"It is, but it's the latter that's more important."

Sig's look was very serious but fear coursed through his body.

"We understood that there are things outside of our imagination that are real."

"When Calvin became undead we heard he was just talking about that goddess and her love."

"It terrifies me to think we're trapped in something big."

Alfred nodded.

"You're right, I hope nothing else like that ever happens again."

◇◇◇

The academy is currently closed because of what happened.

It was decided to close the class cycle early.

There were students who could go to the training camp.

There Oliver and Isaac were there training.

They were both upset.

During the last event.

They were useless, they almost died and couldn't do anything.

"We have to overcome ourselves."

"We have to be strong so we can help next time."

They both thought the same thing.

"We shouldn't let Rei do all the work."

◇◇◇

At the Eisenberg residence, Fionn was taking his spear, he was practicing.

His father was at the meeting so no one was home.

Fionn seeing Calvin's undead felt fear, he felt panic.

He thought he was going to die.

But then he saw that someone like that was defeated by a human.

Rei returned victorious, Fionn felt that Rei was a wall.

Despite being afraid, he stood up and wanted to overcome it.

Fionn from the bottom of his heart wanted to overcome his obstacle.

◇

After a lot of trouble, we returned to the academy.

We were waiting for the carriage to come and take us home.

Inside the room besides Rei was Rose, Eli, Emma, Zoey and Sasha.

Accepting the others, why was Sasha here?

Rei asked her after waking up.

"Huh? What are you doing here Sasha?"

"You said you were going to see your father."

"I said that but my carriage hasn't arrived. S-So I decided to hang out with you guys, do you have a problem with that?"

She said looking away.

Wait a minute?

Sasha is a tsundere!

This is an unexpected revelation, there's also the fact that she doesn't have any friends anymore.

So as her only acquaintances she wants to have friends.

It's kind of sad what loneliness does.

Before she could tell Rei, he stood up.

He walked over to Eli and hugged her.

"Kyah."

She let out a slight cry.

"Is something wrong?"

She asked flustered by the suddenness.

"Eli. I love you."

"...!"

Suddenly everyone present was taken aback by that statement.

They already knew it, but hearing it was different.

"You stood by me when I was weak, I thank you, I wouldn't ask for a better wife."

"Rose, you too. You were always believing in me, I'll make sure I never act like that again."

"I want to be a good man to you, and our son."

Rose blushed at those words.

He set Eli down in her chair and turned away.

"For that reason I've decided."

He walked a few steps forward and extended his fist.

"I'm going to regain my title as a cheat lord by proving I deserve it. My first step for her will be to make all the women here mine."

"What did you say!"

Sasha shouted in surprise.

Rei looked at Zoey.

"Zoey, I said it back then weak. But now I say it again to you with self-assurance. I'll protect you, I'll make you happy if you stay with me, will you?"

Zoey embarrassed by those words, answered quietly.

"I've said it before, but now that you say it with confidence I guess it's okay."

"Hey!"

Sasha's astonishment showed on her face.

"Okay. Next up is Emma. A woman like you seems kind of exotic to me, I don't mean that as an offense but because I want to have you by my side."

Emma with her expressionless face said.

"I'm a servant, I can't be related to the princess as her fiancé's mistress."

"It doesn't bother me."

Eli replied smiling.

"If my prince wants my friends to be with him, it would make me very happy. We would all be together."

"Hey!!!"

Now Sasha's mouth was in a state that we could no longer say human.

Emma responded, she seemed to be slightly smiling.

"In that case, please treat me well from now on as your mistress."

"Just like that!"

To Sasha this was weird, Rei went to hug Emma.

"From today onwards I'll give you all the hugs you want. Plus, I'll want to hear more from you too."

It seemed like that dream she had helped her quite a bit.

Or it inflated his ego even more.

By the way, did he meet a god?

That shitty god spoke to him, I didn't imagine.

Rei seems to be approaching Sasha.

"To Nadine I will also propose the same thing, for now you will come. Sasha, I want to have you by my side."

"Hah? You must be joking."

"You want me to be with a guy who goes and asks every girl he meets to be his mistress? And having the legal wife around!"

After sipping some of her tea Eli smiled back.

"I don't care at all, I want everyone to be happy."

"You heard her, Sasha. I want you to become mine too."

"I don't want to. It makes me feel like a prize."

She argued turning her face away, but her cheeks were red.

"But I really want to have you by my side. What do you want me to do to win your affection?"

"A-About that..."

As she was about to say something.

"P-Princess!"

She was interrupted by Nadine who came banging on the door.

She was tired as she was sweating quite a bit as her breathing was heavy.

"What's wrong Nadine?"

"Oh, Nadine you came at a good time."

Eli and Rei commented as she said the words that froze us all.

"There are serious problems!"

"The republic and the empire... they've declared all-out war on each other!"

Of course, the one who was most shocked was me because...

The final event has happened without even explaining it!

◇◇◇

In a large square, a group of people raised their voices with joy and applause.

"My dear compatriots."

"Today I am pleased to inform you that the time has come."

The crowd was raising flags, their children and crying with happiness.

One man was on a platform.

His voice reached every corner of the square.

Magic mirrors─ which were antique televisions showed his image and audio reproduction devices─ loudspeakers, made his voice sound with magnificence.

This place was the Alfoster Republic.

"We republicans many years ago abolished the system known as monarchy!"

"And replaced it with democracy! The best system in the world because it allows us to be free!"

"It allows us to make our own decisions!"

"Never again will we allow ourselves to be manipulated by those repulsive nobles. Thanks to our system known as..."

"Freedom!"

As he shouted that word, the voices of the people cheered.

"President Arkwood is the best!"

"I love you president."

"The president is the best."

The acting president─ that's what the person who held the position of ruler was called.

This middle-aged man, brown hair and brown eyes with a scraggly black beard.

He was the highest authority in this country.

"Long live President Arkwood!"

Aaron Arkwood was his name.

His campaign slogan along with his charisma was what won him the presidency.

"Yes, we can!"

Aaron cried as he uttered the words everyone wanted to hear.

"For that reason, it pains me to say this. There is a monster out there that wants to turn us into their pets, they want to abolish the system that gives us freedom."

"Will we allow it?"

"Of course not!"

The people shouted.

Aaron supported them.

"You're with me!"

"We are!"

"Then..."

"At this moment, right here, right now."

He pointed his fist to the sky, fireworks were launched.

"I declare war against the Agastia Empire for the liberation of the entire world."

The shouts of the people at hearing how the time had come for democracy and freedom to reach the ends of the earth was so loud that the president had to withdraw.

As he came down from the stage, his secretary informed him.

"Excuse me sir, but we still can't find him."

"You can't find Benfield?"

"Good heavens, where has he got to?"

"Well, never mind. Let's celebrate that the time has finally come to bring democracy to the empire."

He said with a smile.

◇◇◇

In another place, one where the cold covered the streets.

It was so bright they looked like ice status.

But even in that cold people lived their lives quietly.

In the center of that place stood a huge castle.

That castle was the heart of the country.

Agastia Holy Empire it was called.

In one of the rooms which was as big as a stadium, a servant was reading the daily report.

"It seems that the republic has made an imminent declaration to us Your Majesty."

He spoke to the man sitting on the throne overlooking the capital from a huge wall made of glass.

"Why do you look frightened?"

The man's voice was that of an old man.

The servant was startled by the gloomy voice.

"I-I'm not, but it would be good to take countermeasures."

"We don't need to take any of that."

"Those idiots declared war on us, war they shall have."

The servant sweated like never in his life.

"Your Majesty, a war against the republic would be bad for our economy."

"Unnecessary it is, we should only take the wealth of others."

"... Understood."

The servant was about to withdraw.

"Hold on."

He was called by none other than the emperor.

The face of a gaunt old man and frightening smile as his long nose indicated that he was not a nice person.

This man is Charles Theobald von Agastia, the current emperor.

"Call Leohart. The time has come for the strongest Sword Saint in our history to leave his rests."

The servant went away accepting.

At that moment.

Charles smiled.

His terrifying smile showed how happy he was.

"It's been a long time since a war, no, a great war is coming, hehehe."

The emperor was right.

A great war like never came before, a world war.

The final event of the game.

Behind the emperor, a black sphere with an eye materialized.

"Soon, very soon my wish will be completed."

"The world will plunge into absolute agony of suffering and chaos and we can all be happy."

"Hurry up and come."

"Hurry..."

"I want to see you one more time, my beloved husband."
