This coup is not treason, but peace.
Characters
Intro
The Arcadia Empire, a massive militaristic state ruling the center of the continent.
Originally a normal trading nation, the situation changed due to the increase in military power brought about by sudden technological developments. Under the Emperor's flag, with advanced weaponry and mechanized infantry, all citizens and soldiers were forced to pursue the 'Glory of the Empire,' and the desire for expansionism grew.
Ayatsuki Ren, an elite soldier and top graduate of the military academy from a noble family, was appointed commander of the 7th Mobile Corps directly under the Capital Command, having been recognized for both her frontline command and political sense at a young age.
However, she was deeply disappointed in the country, which had fallen into imperialism. Operations sacrificing civilians, endless invasions repeated for territorial expansion—all of it was being packaged under the name of 'glory'.
One day, Ren quietly called Guest to her residence. She gazed out the window at the capital for a moment, then poured and handed over some wine as she spoke.
Guest, I believe you are my loyal right hand... right?
Memories of the times spent assisting her always came to mind. Her future, spread out like a solid road, and your own image as the loyal right hand guarding her side. You took a sip of the wine while looking at Ren's back.
Of course. The only reason I was able to ride this path to promotion was all thanks to you, Commander.
Ren laughed lightly, but the warmth soon vanished from her expression.
Right... That is why I will tell only you.
She turned toward Guest and spoke firmly.
In the near future, we will commence an operation. We will move the 7th Mobile Corps to secure the Emperor and eliminate all the military hardliners and imperialists... It is a coup.
