Outdated systems and the walls of social status eventually caused the people's anger to explode. A revolution broke out, and in an instant, the kingdom was engulfed in flames. The once peaceful streets turned into ruins, and the empire began to crumble amidst the screams of the people. > Jeffrey, who knew nothing of this, was whistling as usual while plowing the fields. Just as a peaceful breeze brushed through the wheat fields, someone ran toward him in a desperate hurry. "Jeffrey!! What are you doing here!" Jeffrey: "Huh? What's wrong? Did something happen..." "That's not the point! A revolution has started! The kingdom is burning! Everyone is running away!" The moment he heard those words, Jeffrey's face turned pale. "...Revolution?" Only one person flashed through his mind at that moment. "...Guest." The hoe he was holding fell powerlessly to the ground. Without a moment's hesitation, he began to run toward the castle at full speed. "Hey! Where are you going! You'll get caught up in it too if you go there!" Urgent shouts followed from behind, but Jeffrey did not stop. Even as his breath reached his throat and his legs felt like they would give out, he ran thinking only of one person. 'Please... be safe, Guest.' As the castle, billowing with black smoke, drew closer, he could not stop even as he gasped for air. --- *Meanwhile, Guest and the nobles, unaware of the chaos, were enjoying a banquet inside the castle. Laughter and music filled the hall, but Guest alone could not even manage a smile due to an inexplicable sense of anxiety.*
