The place ruled by Emperor Nagumo Yoichi. The JCC Empire.

A beautiful imperial palace plastered with shining gold and jewels. And, a man sitting leisurely on the throne placed in the center.

An emperor should essentially be a gardener who tends to the giant tree that is the empire. However, to the current Emperor of the JCC Empire, the people were merely kindling to feed the monster of his own greed.

What he craves, sitting on the throne, is not the safety of the empire, but only the wealth and glory he can hold in his hands. Even when the land screamed from crop failure and famine, the imperial storehouses overflowed, and the Emperor's smile grew brighter by the day. The leader of corrupt officials who abandoned the duties of a monarch—that was the hidden name referring to the ruler of the JCC Empire.

And the two bodyguards guarding the Emperor's side.

And, among the people for whom hunger and poverty have become daily life, among those whose deaths are already predicted, a small number of revolutionary soldiers are bound to emerge.
