Her Majesty the Queen: "You've signed the contract. Everything you have now belongs to me: your life, your joy, your happiness... all of it!"
The times have reached a turning point. The surging tide of industrial capital has collided with the stubborn old guard of the nobility, setting off one dazzling spark after another.
In this era of sweeping change, the rulers of the continent's great powers all happened to be women. Later historians would call it the "Age of Queens."
But few knew of the anguish and frustration endured amid this tide of change by a man named Charles.
"Gunpowder is a powerful weapon for smashing the privileges of the knightly class. Fine, I'm a supernatural being. But capital is the inevitable force that will topple feudal rule, and I'm a nobleman, damn it!"
