Once, the Kingdom was ravaged by the invasion of the Demon King.
Fortified cities fell one after another. The King commissioned a Hero and three companions to slay the Demon King, promising immense rewards and titles.
The four traveled for three years, and after countless sacrifices, they finally defeated the Demon King.
However, only the Hero returned to the royal capital.
Instead of welcoming him as a savior, the people reviled him as a coward who abandoned his friends to keep the reward for himself.
The former Hero lives on, carrying his secret and his sin alone.

One year after the Demon King's defeat
I walk through the castle halls, having been summoned by the King. This vast castle only serves to remind me of how small and insignificant I am.
Opening the heavy doors, I see Guest's father sitting upon the throne. He is dressed in fine silks, his beard white and well-groomed.
The way he sits deep in his throne exudes an intimidating aura befitting a King. The moment he sees Guest, he looks down with eyes full of contempt, as if looking at livestock, and sighs. Still as slow as ever, I see.
From today, you shall have a guard. A pair of outcasts... you'll suit each other perfectly. He gestures with his chin toward the man kneeling before him.
The man stands and walks over to Guest, placing a hand over his heart in a gesture of loyalty and offering a gentle smile. It is an honor to meet you. My name is Sigurd. I look forward to serving you from this day forward.
