Chapter 4: The Crown Prince’s Visit

And so, the season of melting snow had arrived. The Renard domain itself rarely had heavy snowfall, but the sacred mountains often ended up covered in thick snow. The Gupi River, whose source was in the mountains, overflowed in some years when the snow at the mountain peaks melted. As such, the land around it was unusable. Last year, the number of monsters had increased, leading to more damage not just to the tributary but to the main stream of the Renard River itself.

Bal and I were in one of Renard Castle’s guard towers, watching through binoculars the Renard army battling monsters. The wind was still very chilly.

The fighting was more intense than usual today, as this was my brother’s first battle. Father was commanding the army.

“This is Liam’s first time joining the army against monsters, so he’s been given the Eclipse Blade. It’s a family heirloom,” I explained. It was a beautiful rapier with a shining silver blade and a handle studded with diamonds.

“Cool! I heard that if you can wield that blade well, you can use magic even without making a spirit contrat,” Bal said.

“Yep! Apparently it’s a magical sword made by a spirit. It’s imbued with powerful magic, so if you can’t control your mana, you won’t even be able to pull it out of its scabbard.”

“Whoa... Liam’s so cool.” Bal watched the battle with glittering eyes.

Ever since he’d moved in with us, he’d been studying and receiving military training together with Liam. Liam could do everything effortlessly, and Bal adored him as though he were his actual older brother.

“I wonder if I can be like him some day...”

I cast Bal an anxious look. “It’s way too soon to be thinking of your first battle. You haven’t even graduated from the academy.”

“I just want to protect the levee...”

“Actually, I wonder why more monsters come down this time of year,” I mused.

“I don’t know. Liam was worried that even if we send out a force to exterminate them, we’d always be falling behind if we can’t find the source of the problem. He said if we knew that, we could subjugate them before their numbers increased.”

Bal was observing the battle, when suddenly he furrowed his brows.

“Oh no! The embankment’s collapsing!” he yelled.

“Ahhh! Run!!! Brother, run!” I screamed.

Under father’s command, the army retreated, managing to escape just in the nick of time. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Liam was safe. But I also felt dejected—the new embankment which everyone had created under Theo’s leadership had been damaged.

“We got Master Theo’s assistance and even used magical circles, but that wasn’t enough... And those new fields of sentiment flowers have been washed away too,” I lamented.

Father had put a lot of funding into the flood management project, but the Renard domain didn’t have much money to begin with. We had gotten the criminals from the monastery to cooperate, but I doubted they’d be thrilled at the prospect of having to rebuild everything all over again.
