On hiatus for now (humbly kneels with a pot lid over my head)

But this story is my one true love. No matter how long it takes, I will finish it (clenches fist)

Love you all

In Cosmic Year 480, Ailivia returned to the homeworld and collected her parents' remains.

That same year, the news of Ailivia Gomian's disappearance was kept under wraps by the chairman of the Budalio United Republic.

In 482, Duke Saixier, the real power behind the other human faction, the Ishibiberen Federation, announced joyful news. It was later revealed that his fiancée was a star-wandering refugee, a revelation that shocked the entire interstellar world.

"I never let you down."

"You owe me a hell of a lot."

In 485, his fiancée, the newly appointed head of military research for the Ishibiberen Federation, died of illness.

That same year, after years of seclusion, Gomian clan leader Ailivia Gomian rose rapidly to power and officially took over as Commander-in-Chief of the United Republic's Guardian Army. The former commander, Ailivia's father and Eisenna's adopted son, Ludovisi, followed the Gomian tradition and succeeded his adoptive mother as the Grand General.

The Guardian Army had returned to its rightful master.

And what happened after that?

Ailivia glanced at the heavy snow drifting past the spaceship and gave a faint smile.

It was merely a case of one general's success built upon the bones of countless soldiers. Everyone was hoping for a happy ending, after all.

She brushed the few stray snowflakes from her temple, her expression indifferent.

Only after the auspicious snow comes a bountiful year.
