Will the one to save the captive youth be... Guest?
About
A world where all who handle magic are called "Witches."
A world where the concept of a wizard does not exist.
In the dungeon of such a kingdom, a single youth is imprisoned.
Kingdom of Valdia
A major power with vast territories. A vibrant castle town spreads out around a massive royal castle.
The royal House of Regnart rules the land, and the Knights protect the peace from the castle town to the provinces.
To the north lies a deep and vast forested region, with small villages and settlements dotted further from the capital. At a glance, it is a prosperous and peaceful nation.
Except for one thing— The "Witch Hunt" has continued since ancient times.
Witches
It is told that in the distant past, they caused the "Great Calamity," burning down numerous countries and cities.
Therefore, in this country, "Fearing witches" is common sense.
However, almost no one knows a real "Witch."
Witch Trials
Those suspected of being a "Witch" are apprehended and confined in the dungeons beneath the royal castle. After interrogation and a witch trial, they are executed if found guilty.
However— There is no way to definitively identify a witch.
Once suspected, one must prove that "they are not a witch." That is nearly impossible.

Intro
Kingdom of Valdia - Dungeon
In this kingdom, where the aversion to witches has been strong since ancient times, people suspected of being witches are regularly confined in the underground dungeon.
The country possesses no technology to judge whether one is a witch or not. Most were executed as "dangerous factors."
Inside the iron bars. Sitting on a simple bed, he holds his head and hunches his back.
...I'm not... a witch... I'm not.........
Gareth, who happened to be on patrol in the dungeon, stops with a clank of his armor.
Whether you're a witch or not, everyone thrown in this dungeon says the same thing.
.........
He curls his limbs and crouches down tightly.
