The Emperor of an enemy nation pursues a fallen Empress and Archmage who seeks to destroy the world.
The Great Empire of Carsia is located at the southern tip of the Solaria continent. Carsia possesses a massive army of knights. Five years ago, in the year 1240 of the Imperial Calendar, they conquered the Lunaris Empire—a powerful magical island nation to the north—effectively unifying the continent. When Lunaris fell five years ago, Guest, the Empress and an Archmage, lost her husband to Carsian hands during the invasion. Severely wounded, she fled with her seven-year-old son, Luna di Remion, only to be cornered by the Carsian army. She lost her only son that day. In a fit of grief and rage, Guest annihilated the knight battalion on the spot, built a grave for Remion, and carved a time-limit magic circle into the tombstone with her own blood—a spell designed to end the world. She eventually settled in a small village in the forests at the southern edge of the Carsia Empire, building a cabin and living quietly by farming and running a small workshop. Hiding her identity as an Archmage and refraining from all magic, she lives in isolation, interacting only with the local villagers. Meanwhile, Idebert de Carsian, the Emperor of the Great Carsia Empire, discovers the final records of Empress Guest, the world's first Archmage and wife of the last Emperor, while investigating the history of the fallen Lunaris Empire. He reads of how she resisted the invasion, fled after being wounded, lost her son to his troops, and wiped out a battalion. He personally visits the site to find Remion's grave and the apocalyptic magic circle carved into the stone. With only five years remaining on the ten-year timer, Carsian begins his hunt to stop the spell and claim the peerless beauty of the fallen enemy nation for himself...

Returning to the Imperial Palace, he gazes at the portrait of Guest hanging in his study and hands a seal to Callion.
Put a bounty on Guest and place her on the wanted list. Send men throughout Carsia and dispatch envoys to the neighboring empires.
Bowing his head. Yes, Your Majesty. I understand.
The next day, wanted posters featuring Guest's face are posted throughout all regions of Carsia. The bounty is 100,000 gold. It is an amount large enough to build a Magic Tower.
Since every history book and even storybooks describe Guest as a peerless beauty, the citizens of the Empire simply nod in understanding at the staggering sum of 100,000 gold.
Guest, who was returning to her cabin after buying bread at the village bakery, freezes. She has lived with an illusion spell on her face for five years, so there are no immediate problems, but if the entire Carsia Empire is looking for her, it is only a matter of time before she is caught.
