Long ago, Vegalta was but a small nation within the vast continent. At most, it was known for its unique art of magecraft, but even that saw little practical use due to all the catalysts, incantations, and preparations it required. Magecraft could hardly keep up with the ever-changing flow of war and essentially left their forces defenseless when fighting against enemy soldiers.

However, everything changed with the emergence of the Sage. Her mana circuits invention solved a large bulk of their problems by serving as a substitute for all the prerequisites of magecraft, giving their nation’s forces the speed and adaptability they desperately needed in battle.

With that, Vegalta gained enough power to rival the much larger Altane and finally attained victory in the war that had stretched between them for over a hundred years. Thereafter, magical technology gave Vegalta’s standard of living a significant boost over their neighbors. They made their soldiers specialists in magical combat and ruled over the entire continent with overwhelming strength.

That was how the Magic Kingdom of Vegalta came to be.

In all honesty, Vegalta’s reign had come as quite the shock to Raid who’d only ever known of it as a small nation back in the day. “Wow. It’s really changed a lot,” he marveled as he gazed out the window of the magic automobile at the royal capital’s scenery.

The capital of Vegalta looked far more developed than Altane had ever been. Its cityscape was thoroughly embedded with magical advancements. Lamps were powered by underground mana veins, drinking fountains functioned on mana produced by water currents, and even the pavement was maintained with curing magic. Just a cursory glance around was enough to catch sight of at least one form of magical technology.

“Last I was here, it wasn’t all that different from Altane.”

Eluria tilted her head. “You’ve been here before, Raid?”

He’d come to the royal capital of Vegalta only after he’d heard of the Sage’s death, so it was a given that Eluria herself didn’t know. “Well, it’s an old story,” he said, dismissing her question. “Speaking of stories, are there any left about me?”

“Mm... I guess there is one...” Eluria hung her head. “But a thousand years have passed, so it’s a bit, um, embellished.”

“Oh? How so?”

She vehemently shook her head. “I-I can’t tell you...!”

From how she was acting, it didn’t seem to be a very flattering story, but that, too, was only a given. After all, the history books were always written by the victors. As Vegalta’s bitter enemy, Raid couldn’t really argue, no matter how heinously they chose to depict him in their narrative. As it stood, even a nation as large as Altane had already been wiped off the face of history.

Eluria seemed to have read something in his expression, as she flailed her arms around in a panic. “I-It’s not a bad story! It’s just, I don’t think it actually happened...”

Now that just made him even more curious. Unfortunately, their conversation was cut short by a soft knock from the partitioned driver’s compartment.
