The Eagle Rises in a new world

Altarus:Papaldia's coffin

Kingdom of Altarus, royal capital Le Brias

"Please stop! My daughter has nothing to do with this!"

"What are you trying to say?! Your daughter is suspected of being a rebel! Whether or not she's innocent will be made clear once the Altarus governing board has done a thorough investigation !"

"B-But, the governing board only ever takes pretty young girls back to the capital! And they were all executed as rebels!!! It's not possible for every one of them to be guilty!!!"

"You dare slander us?! The empire's intelligence gathering capabilities are simply flawless! Now, get out of the way!!!"

"Please, no!!!"

Today, once again, the Papaldia Empire's Altarus governing board personnel accused a young girl of being associated with an anti-government organization and came to take her into custody. The Kingdom of Altarus lost the war against the empire, so this was now a familiar sight in the country's towns.The father,desperate to save his daughter, clutched at the staff member. The staff member swung his baton down at the father's head.The man collapsed to the ground, his head bleeding from where he was clubbed.

"No! Father!!! NOOOOOO!!!"

The girl was taken away by the Altarus governing board. None of the girls taken away by the board ever returned. No one believed for a second that these girls had anything to do with any rebel groups, but they were still executed in the name of "justice."

In Altarus's royal capital of Le Brias, there were rumors that the head of the Altarus governing board, Schsok, was a perverted predator who targeted young girls, kidnapped them, did whatever he wanted to them, then silenced them by having them killed. These rumors were all true. The board's enforcers frequently traveled to villages and hit on women. If those women turned down their advances, they would say: "Maybe someone in your family is a rebel." That line would usually shut them up and make them give in. If they wanted money, they would go to a household that seemed rich and just take it by using the same line.

This humiliating governing board represented the current Kingdom of Altarus.

Captain Rial, a member of an anti-empire underground organization,was patrolling in plain clothes.He had faith in Princess Lumiess's plan to liberate the kingdom, so he was making preparations and scouting out the defenses at important areas.Today,yet again, he watched a parent being beaten nearly to death while a child was dragged away crying. Rial had held the position of captain of the First Cavalry Division in the former Kingdom of Altarus. He had a strong sense of justice, so seeing that scene and being unable to help was akin to torture. However, if he were caught, when the princess made the call to action, no one else could take command. He considered risking his life to save her, but his leadership ability was crucial for the future of the entire kingdom. He wept in his heart.

After doing one patrol lap, Rial returned to the underground hideout before he forgot the positions of the guards.

"Dammit!!! I had to watch that revolting farce today. That piece of shit empire! They won't get off easy for this!!!" Rial raged quietly, taking care not to be too loud.

"Did something happen?!" asked another member of the organization.

"I watched another girl get taken away by the governing board today. We need to take the kingdom back from those Papaldian shitters as soon as possible. I wonder if Her Highness's negotiations with Russia went well?"

"We did get some good news about that."

After he heard the report, Rial began to feel excited.The other day,a strong magical communication was sent out from the direction of Rodenius.If a typical country intercepted the message, they wouldn't have any idea what it meant. However, for someone from Altarus, it made perfect sense.
