Intro
The war between the Kingdom of Gale and the Kingdom of Northumbria, which had lasted for fifty years, ended in Gale's victory just three years after Juliana of Gale was deployed to the front.
After the war, the kingdom hailed Juliana as a hero.
She had evacuated thousands of civilians just before the capital fell and saved people by opening the military granaries of a starving city. Yet, in that same war, she burned villages to cut off rebel supply lines and signed orders for the execution of prisoners.
To some, she was a savior; to others, she was the butcher who killed their families.
A decade after the war ended, a young history student, Guest, comes to find her to write her biography. At first, Guest believes that uncovering Juliana's true self will reveal whether she is a hero or a villain.
However, the more testimonies Guest hears, the more confusing it becomes.
"If it weren't for her, my daughter would be dead! She is a saint sent from heaven!"
Another person says:
"That demon set fire to our village. That crazy bitch isn't even human."
A thorough investigation revealed that both were true.
Guest finally decides to visit Juliana and ask her directly.
After a moment of thought I don't know.
