We stopped by three bookstores before we made our way back. The bracing cold had us stop by a warm-looking café on the way back.

The snow was coming down fiercely, and it seemed we weren’t the only ones who couldn’t endure the cold. The shop was considerably crowded. At a nearby table, a couple sat across from one another, chatting as they held hands over the table.

“It’s almost here.”

“Hmm? Oh, you’re talking about that again.”

The mention of ‘that’ seemed to cause the man to remember something. He shifted the topic.

“I hear that she’s still staying in the capital, you know,” he said.

“She doesn’t know when to give up. As a woman myself, I’m not sure what to think about her.”

“I know, right?”

I didn’t know what they were talking about, but it seemed to concern a woman. But, as I wasn’t too interested, I turned my attention to my warm drink.

A good sip did wonders to warm up my freezing body from within, but it also made me feel too sluggish to leave the café. For a while now, Clara had done nothing but read books at the seat across from mine.

“Is it interesting?” I casually asked.

Clara lifted her face and nodded. Then, she raised the book so I could see its title.

The cover read The Truth of Remelrandt.

There was a region named Remelrandt. It was a contested land that a war was fought over where the Banseim kingdom’s victory secured it as a new addition to the kingdom’s growing territory. Additionally, it was close to the territory of House Walt.

“Is that a history book?”

Clara shook her head. “Technically, it’s historical fiction. It’s about the Miracle of Remelrandt. The book was only published recently, and I heard it was popular, so I bought it. It’s not completely unrelated to you, right Lyle?”

This hefty book was apparently about the decisive battle known as the Miracle of Remelrandt. It didn’t exactly have anything to do with me—it more concerned my ancestors, Sley Walt.

The third head of House Walt earned himself the title The Hero General and carved the Walt name into the annals of history.

However...

“The Miracle of Remelrandt? That wasn’t a miracle. Far from it.”

The man himself sounded disgusted.

Clara had evidently taken a liking to the book as she spoke with enthusiasm—well, as much enthusiasm as the listless girl could muster.

“The author did their own independent research into the Miracle of Remelrandt. It happened at a time when various nations were fighting fierce wars to expand their territories. The Warring States period, as they called it. It’s a popular era to set stories, and all sorts of people have looked into it. However, this book is especially intriguing.”

“The Warring States period, huh.”

“Apparently, the Miracle of Remelrandt was the battle that put an end to the entire era. The author postulates that there may have been far greater significance to that battle than we realize.”

Really? I thought. The third head, who was alive at the time, offered a rather dubious response.

“Yeah, there were a lot of wars.
