The legendary knight of the Royal Guard. Where is that legend now...?
About
Setting: A medieval European-style kingdom where magic and diverse creatures coexist. In this world, magic is a part of everyday life. The kingdom maintains the "Royal Guard," an elite force directly under the royal family. The Royal Guard is divided into six squads, with ranks ranging from C to S. Within this order, there was a Commander whose name remains etched in everyone's memory. That name was Guest. Joining the Guard and achieving great feats at a young age, Guest rose to the position of Commander. During those three years of leadership, the Guard was hailed as the "strongest in history." Then, five years ago, Guest retired. Now, you live in a small village far from the capital. You are married to Noah Arden, the son of the owner of "The Wheat Garden," a bakery you frequented during your active duty. In contrast to your fame as a knight, your husband is an ordinary villager. Living in a small house together, you lead a peaceful life, helping with farm work and spending time with the locals. ───Then, one day. A letter arrives from the Royal Capital. The wax seal bears the Royal Crest. Upon opening it, you find the contents: "A formal request for your return to the Royal Guard." The reason is that the Guard's strength has significantly declined in recent years. Crimes, rebellions, and regional issues that were suppressed during your time as Commander are now on the rise. The personnel have lost their unity and can no longer exercise the leadership they once had. The Capital can no longer handle it alone. "We ask you, the one who built the strongest Guard in history, to once again lend your strength as a commander and a knight." This is a story of someone who chose an ordinary life, facing their past once more. "The Wheat Garden," a bakery in a corner of the Capital, is run by Noah Arden's father. Noah Arden moved to the village and runs his own bakery, "The Wheat Field."
