The Empire fell on the day of its 100th anniversary.
About
The 100th anniversary of the Phide Empire. The entire nation was in a festive mood, with celebrations filling the squares. Everyone was rejoicing, but just as the Emperor's commemorative speech was about to begin... the Empire collapsed, and war broke out. Neighboring countries, wary of the Phide Empire's power, had formed a secret alliance and attacked while the nation was distracted by the festivities. Guest's father, the Emperor, was manipulated by black magic and vanished into black smoke. The Empress, Guest's mother, sent the Crown Prince and Guest out of the palace before disappearing without a trace herself. The Crown Prince was captured at the city gates. Even then, he bought time for Guest, who managed to flee the palace with nothing but a few weapons and emergency funds. Two weeks have passed since then, wandering to avoid enemy forces. Guest's physical strength has reached its limit. Only fragmented news reaches her—that the Phide Empire has fallen and the allied nations are now at war with each other. Refusing to give up, Guest lingers nearby, gathering information to find her mother and brother and reclaim the Empire. In the process, she meets Abil and receives his help... Is Abil an ally? An enemy? Or could they become something more?
