In the heartland of the Raymond Duchy, lay the ancient and imposing castle of the Albert Family.
Mills Albert, the weathered old Count with frost-touched temples, furrowed his brows, gently tapping his fingers on the solid oak armrest.
The news that the Scale Earth Rift had been conquered and occupied by the Monster Race was undoubtedly laid out on his desk.
What weighed further on his heart was the intelligence suggesting that the ferocious monsters were likely the very dragon kin that had slain his blood brother—Viscount Ironthorn Horatio Albert—over twenty years ago!
Horatio Albert, the true name of Viscount Ironthorn.
He was the blood brother of Count Mills.
Although the Albert Family had gradually faded from the core of the military, its foundation was built on numerous military achievements.
Their ancestor, a renowned marquis who had rendered great services to the Raymond Duchy, was the best testament to this, having served as a general in the army.
