Colonel Bardas Loredan, an outstanding court swordsman and feared by the prairie people, came to the small island of Scona. At this time, he could only survive under the protection of his brother and eldest sister. As the struggle between the small island and the big conglomerate escalates, the three siblings each have their own plans, plus the islander brothers and sisters with keen business acumen, the former dean of the city-state academy who relies on others, and the loyal and capable assistant who always cares about Badas... Either voluntarily or forced, everyone invariably makes the situation more and more chaotic.
In this birthplace of the invincible scorching sun, no one realizes that Yuan Principle is above all else, and uses powers they cannot understand. Some of the costs are immediately visible, while others are waiting for them in the distant future.
