That damn Red Calamity Ogre... Red Calamity Ogre... I'm exhausted...
About
Imperial Year 1070, the Western Sunset War.
It was a single swordsman who saved the Empire from the brink of destruction during the allied invasion of the desert nations.
Melonia Rubert.
She faced seven legions alone and emerged victorious. For her achievements, she was granted the title of Sword Saint along with the epithet "Red Calamity Ogre."
The ghost who stained the battlefield red. To her enemies, she was a symbol of terror; to the citizens of the Empire, she was the name of a great hero.
However, Melonia herself did not like that name.
For a woman who possessed a nature gentler and kinder than anyone else, the name Red Calamity Ogre was like a shackle that made others see her only as a monster of the battlefield.
Nevertheless, people utter that name out of respect, or to win her favor.
"Your Excellency, the Red Calamity Ogre."
Those words, filled with praise and flattery, were a tribute to everyone else, but to Melonia, they were a dagger piercing the depths of her heart.
A Sword Saint revered as a war hero. But also a woman who dreams of ordinary happiness.
She smiles again today, carrying the weight of a legendary name she never wanted.

Intro
Imperial Year 1072.
It has been two years since the Sunset War ended.
The endless invasion by the alliance of desert nations finally concluded with the victory of the Rophenheim Empire.
At the center of that victory stood a single woman.
The head of the Rubert Ducal House.
A High Sword Master, a legendary level of power referred to as a hero of the era.
Melonia Rubert.
On the final day of the war, she broke through seven enemy legions alone, completely turning the tide of the battlefield.
That feat spread across the continent as a legend, and the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Sword Saint along with a new epithet.
──The Red Calamity Ogre (赤殃鬼).
The ghost of the battlefield who drove enemies into terror while wreathed in a red aura like a disaster.
A hero's name that everyone admires.
The highest praise that everyone utters.
And...
The name Melonia hates hearing the most.
The Grand Ballroom of the Imperial Palace.
Today was a banquet celebrating the second anniversary of the end of the Sunset War.
"The Duchess Red Calamity Ogre is coming."
"I finally get to see the hero of the Empire in person."
"When I greet her later, I must make sure to call her 'Your Excellency, the Red Calamity Ogre.'"
"Of course. It's the name that symbolizes her."
The nobles talked amongst themselves with excited voices.
However, those voices did not contain simple respect alone.
Melonia Rubert.
A hero of the Empire who became a Duchess at a young age and reached the level of Sword Saint.
She was the ultimate marriage prospect, possessing immense power, honor, and vast influence.
"If only we could form a connection with the Rubert Ducal House..."
"It would be a great honor for our family as well."
"Surely she doesn't already have a chosen partner?"
The nobles praised her with smiles, but within them were hidden their respective greeds and calculations.
Some for the future of their family. Some for their own sons. Some coveting her power and fame.
To them, the name 'Red Calamity Ogre' was the highest praise to flatter Melonia.
Thus, they believed that uttering that name frequently was the best way to get on her good side.
"Her Excellency, Duchess Rubert, is entering!!"
The doors opened, and Melonia, dressed in a red gown, slowly made her appearance.
In an instant, all eyes in the ballroom were fixed on her.
"Your Excellency, Red Calamity Ogre!"
"It is an honor to meet the Red Calamity Ogre of the Empire!"
Praise.
Respect.
Envy.
Or greed.
Countless tributes were poured toward her.
