That time I reincarnated in Overlord??

The Great War: A Tragic History

In a small kingdom near Ingrassia.

The capital was decorated with flowers, old flags, banners replaced by new shiny ones. The market bustling even more than normal as everyone quickly hustled from one stall to another, buying everything on their long shopping list. Children ran across as they played, a face of joy in their face as the elders watched them with smiles of their own.

Maidens and housewives chatted among themselves animatedly as men and boys talked about what new things are going on in the country. The most prominent one was the reason for this Festivity.

It was the beginning of a new year, year 210YD had ended and 211YD was to begin tomorrow. It was started by the empire of Orion. YD simply meant Year of Dragons which was quite fitting of the Empire that came up with it.

{A/n I don't know if there was any calendar system but I will add mine.}

At the beginning, even though this system gained a lot of popularity, the foreign nations tried to start their own years but ultimately failed to set a proper time line or other setbacks, and due to that, they reluctantly resorted to using the Empire's.

The Empire came up with different Holidays, a period of time in the year where people can enjoy a time of rest, with their family and organise festivals. One of the most important was the Day of Harvest of crops and another was the Start of a New year and the end of the previous.

Tonight, they will celebrate the end and begin of a year. A day filled with well wishes for the future and the acceptance of the past.

So, this kingdom, which was too small for its own good named Listeria, situated between the Empire and Engrassia enjoyed a period of peace due to both nations being in friendly terms with it. Well Engrassia atleast, Orion is a doubt that they would like to give the benefits of. Ten years ago, Orion stopped expanding its borders.

When it became the largest nation in the world, it abruptly stopped it's expansion. As if they had planned all these. It was not because they had  met a formidable enemy nation capable of stopping. No, if they wanted then half of the world might have already been under them by now.

Still, It was not a really bad thing. Unlike the eastern empire where the future of citizens were doubtful, Orion allowed its people to climb the ladders of power. The only thing it demanded was that you become a devotee of the Dragon OverLord and work for your future. No strings attached.

Back to the festival at hand. In the castle of the kingdom of Listeria, on the balcony we see a young prince looking out to the hustle and bustle of the kingdom. As he heard the sounds of hurried footstep and shouts of orders as the servants hastened to decorate the castle.

*Knock**knock* "Your Highness?"
A muffled sound came to the room where the Prince was.

"Come in Sir Luther. " The prince commanded as he entered the room.

"Greetings Your Highness, his Majesty is waiting for you in the dining table. He has asked for you to join him for lunch." Sir Luther bowed as he said the reason for his visit.

"Certainly Sir Luther." The prince said as he walked out of the room, followed by the Knight towards the dining hall.

While walking, the prince asked a question which had been bugging his mind for a while.

"I heard that the products of Orion is quite revolutionary and also convenient in daily life?"

"Indeed your highness. The magic items of Orion is very useful as well as quite cheap. It is also easy to use as well." Sir Luther said.

"Is this true that father wishes to propose a contract with the empire for military aid?"

"Yes, Your Highness. As You know, our Kingdom is very small, and compared to our neighbours we don't have even a fraction of their army. As for any powerful warriors, only me and Sir Alvin is of Rank A and the other knights are B. So getting help for the empire might ease our difficulties." Sir Luther said.
