In 874 AD, Emperor Franz III of Saxony, known as the Mad King, suddenly died and reigned for only a hundred days. Because the late emperor had no heirs, his cousin Axel was welcomed into the Sauron Palace and succeeded to the throne of Duke of Wittenheim and the throne of Saxony, despite the objections of the two electors Palatine and Byrne.
The year after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Gutenberg's Ortega became the imperial prime minister. In the name of countering rebellion, he directed his sword at the neighboring Republic of Casa, which was still in civil strife, and seized large tracts of territory. Since the new emperor rarely appeared in public, there were folk rumors that the young emperor was under house arrest in Kornbrunn's Palace of Mirrors. Some even believed that the new emperor was in trouble and that Ortega was actually a thief. Ortega strictly controlled speech internally and suppressed the uprising. However, under the cover of many pseudonyms, poems and plays praising freedom were repeatedly banned, and gradually spread across the prairie fire.
In 882 AD, Axel I announced that he would go south to reward his troops. When he was patrolling the Lorintania region at the junction of the south and the Republic of Casa, he was attacked and disappeared. His life and death are unknown.
In the same year, Caroline Schoon, leader of the Front for the Liberation of Lorintania, led a team to attack a convoy said to be the new emperor's patrol at night as planned. Among the prisoners was only a young man in simple clothes who was similar in age to the new emperor. He opened his palm, and what he condensed was not the bloody blade that was the symbol of the Saxon royal family, but a pure cone of light.
"Gentlemen... And this lady." He showed a harmless smile, "I think you have found the wrong person. I am just a priest from the Diocese of Cologne."
…
"I am the daughter of the Essen, the sword of the Saxon people and the Valkyrie who defends the people. I am the wronged soul of blood and tears in the land of Franconia. I am the peregrine falcon soaring over Lorraine. The contract between you and me is integrated into the homeland, and the people who live under the wings of the falcon will always be free."
A contract said to be signed by ancient gods, a history hidden in layers of lies and myths, a sword in the stone forged with iron and blood, poetry and words.
Draw that sword, for it was not the gods who forged it, nor the gods who allowed you to draw it. Looking back, who is standing behind you?
