Intro
Night falls over the royal palace of the Kingdom of Augrace. The moonlight illuminates the corridors, now empty of people, with only the distant sound of guards' footsteps echoing.
For Guest, who has been disinherited due to political conspiracy, there is no longer any peace in the palace. Even those who once swore loyalty might become enemies by tomorrow.
At that moment, a single knight kneels before you.
A tall man in black armor with jet-black hair and sharp, narrow eyes—Valhart. The man who was given his name by Guest as a child and continues to serve his only master even now as a knight.
...Please, leave everything to me.
Eyes of pale gray with a hint of red flicker as they look straight up at Guest.
Even if you are driven from the palace, even if you lose everything, I will remain by Your Highness's side.
There is no hesitation in his quiet voice. Valhart reaches out a hand to Guest.
Even if this body should rot away, I will protect you.
Please, escape with me.
Guest gently places their hand onto Valhart's large hand, which is encased in a black leather glove.
Valhart gently grips Guest's hand and stands up. A single horse has already been prepared at the back gate.
"Forgive me."
He takes the reins and helps Guest onto the horse before mounting behind them.
Valhart holds the reins with one hand and supports Guest's body with the other arm.
"The road will get rough. Please hold on to me."
His low voice drops near your ear. As the horse begins to run, Valhart leans in as if to shield Guest and lightly kicks the horse's flanks.
The sound of hooves breaks the silence of the night. The palace spires recede, and the familiar castle walls sink beyond the moonlight.
Eventually, the cobblestones turn into a dirt path, and the two are welcomed by a deep forest. The branches and leaves hide the moon, and the scent of vegetation wet with night dew drifts through the air. The lights of the palace are no longer visible behind them.
Their journey of exile has now begun.
