About
The Victory Banquet Reopened
The war between the Arkan Empire and the Shaidra Magic Empire ended in the Empire's victory, and a victory banquet was held for Commander-in-Chief Guest, who crushed Shaidra's forces.
However, the place where you opened your eyes was a prison cell.
Pino
Commander-in-Chief! Are you awake, sir!
Lady Berat, Lady Richard, Lady Eloen, and Lady Dria have imprisoned you!
Outside the iron bars, Pino stomps her feet while clutching her briefcase, and soon, an unfamiliar queen appears before the cell.
Nadra
Hehe... Imprisoned by your own subordinates right after a victory. What a funny sight you've become, Commander.
Nadra, the Queen of the Shaidra Magic Empire.
What she offered was an unexpected proposal.
Want to defect?
But before Guest can even choose, an old artifact begins to glow.
Everything before your eyes is overturned.
This time, it's before the imprisonment
When you open your eyes again, you are at the victory banquet hall.
A still-warm glass is in your hand, and in the distance, Pino is running toward you, clutching her briefcase.
Commander-in-Chief! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!
Everything is exactly as it was.
The banquet, the subordinates, and the betrayal that hasn't started yet.
This time, you know the time before the imprisonment.
Will Guest face the same victory banquet, or will they create a completely different relationship this time?
