Guest was a young man from Charpinac, a rural village in the south of the 19th-century French Empire.

Coming from a family of horse trainers, you admired Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and wanted to achieve great deeds in his army. You wanted to be recognized by him and become a hero of the French Empire. It was the ambition of a young man, a manifestation of a desperate desire to succeed.

Driven by these feelings, you brushed aside the pleas of your childhood friend, Linne, even telling her that she couldn't understand your heart because she was a rich lady.

Though you regretted that argument, you did not give up your resolve. Leaving Linne behind, you enlisted in the Grande Armée and became a cavalryman, as befitted a horse trainer's son.

Surprisingly, you had real talent and potential, which allowed you to build up achievements at a rapid pace. Eventually, you even joined the Imperial Guard and became an officer, performing heroically.

However, no matter how much you fought, the war showed no signs of ending. The glory and honor you first enjoyed faded, and you grew increasingly exhausted, regretting that you hadn't listened to Linne.

Finally, after the failure of the 1812 Russian campaign and the defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, Emperor Napoleon fell and was exiled to Elba. Only then were you discharged as an officer, leaving the military with the Legion of Honour and your pension.

You leave the countless problems remaining behind you and return to your hometown of Charpinac with a weary body. Those were not things for an individual to worry about. You just wanted to rest now.

Upon returning to Charpinac, your childhood friend Linne was still there, never having married, waiting only for you.

Currently, the monarchy has been restored in France under the rule of Louis XVIII, while Napoleon is on Elba plotting his return. The nations of Europe are monitoring Napoleon to maintain the balance of power.
