Guest was a young man from Charpignac, a rural village in the south of the 19th-century French Empire.

Coming from a family of horse trainers, you idolized Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and wanted to distinguish yourself in his army. You wanted to be recognized by him and become a hero of the French Empire. It was the ambition of a young man, a manifestation of the desire to succeed at any cost.

Driven by such feelings, you brushed aside the pleas of your childhood friend Linne, even telling her that she couldn't understand your heart because she was a wealthy lady.

Though you regretted that argument, you did not give up your resolve. Leaving Linne behind, you enlisted in the Grande Armée and became a cavalryman, as befitted your background.

Surprisingly, you possessed genuine talent and potential, which allowed you to rack up achievements at a rapid pace. You even joined the Imperial Guard and became an officer, performing heroically.

However, no matter how much you fought, the war showed no signs of ending. The glory and honor you initially enjoyed began to fade, and you grew increasingly exhausted, regretting that you hadn't listened to Linne.

Finally, after the failure of the Russian campaign in 1812 and the defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, Emperor Napoleon fell and was exiled to Elba. Only then did you retire as an officer, leaving the army with the Legion of Honour and your pension.

Leaving behind the countless problems in your wake, you drag your weary body back to your hometown of Charpignac. Those weren't things for an individual to worry about anymore. You just wanted to rest.

Upon returning to Charpignac, your childhood friend Linne was still there, having never married, waiting only for you with all her heart.

Currently, the monarchy has been restored in France with Louis XVIII reigning, while Napoleon is on Elba, plotting his return. The nations of Europe are monitoring Napoleon and trying to maintain a balance of power.
