Chapter 101.3: Character Introduction (End of Book 1)

Marquis Pipin Nant Burgund, 45 years old

A man of unusual appearance. His chin is like the tip of a French bread with black beard.

He is the head of the Burgund Family, a lineage of the chief vassal of the Founding King Renz, and one of the representatives of the local nobles. He is quite a talented person compared to the incompetent prestigious nobles.

He is capable of commanding an army in his own way, is highly intelligent and scheming, and has demonstrated his competence in domestic affairs.

The problem with him, however, is that he uses his abilities to maintain his own power and not for the good of the kingdom.

The great nobles of the south, who have a strong independent spirit against the Silesie royal family, are led by two great families, the Burgund and Aquitaine, who were both vassals of Founding King Renz.

The original representative of the Confederation of South Nobles was the Blanc Family, a branch of the royal family where Brynie was the previous head. However, the Blanc family already lost its power. Marquis Pipin of Burgund Family and Countess Ajine of Aquitaine Family hold the real power.

Incidentally, it is an open secret that Marquis Pipin is having an affair with Countess Ajine.

Conrad Germania Germanicus, Germania Emperor

Weak and aged emperor over seventy. He is the one who sealed the Hotbed of Corruption and Delusion 50 years ago. He is also the hero who climbed up to the 54th floor of the White Tower of Trials and obtained the orichalcum armor and orichalcum great shield.

In his younger days, he was a heroic emperor who, expedition after expedition, ate up the three kingdoms in the western part of the empire to expand the empires territory but in his old age, he became lackluster.

Unable to settle the question of succession, he is now half in hiding at the mercy of the young lion Free, who has seized power after kicking out his siblings by force.

After the fall of the empire, he is captured by the coup detat forces and is imprisoned in the imperial castle.

Incidentally, the reason she was not present when Fried attacked was that she had gone to the royal capital for treatment.

Dont say that Bishop Rosa is always missing when shes needed or Asamas punishment will fall upon you.

Located on the border of the human world, many knights wear unusual attires because of battles with the northern demons and eastern barbarians.

Rastoir Knights. It is a knight federation of many clans in the country. They dont have standard equipment and the barbarians influence on their equipment is obvious. Some knights even wear animal pelts. Their only unified equipment is their iron helmet with a brim around it.

The elite wear western-style chain mail and eastern-style lamellar chest armor.

Even if it is ruled as a vassal kingdom of the Germania Empire, it is still a self-governed kingdom where the king is elected from among the many clans.

In close combat, they fight with long axes and daggers.

Unlike the Germania knights, some knights use long spears and bows, depending on the situation, as well as javelins.

They are led by General Sandor Nefskie who is known as the Yellow General.
