The man who usurped the throne took everything. How will the demoted Guest survive?
About
Previously, Guest served as the Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Zanalgrad. Favored by the late King Xanadric I, you swore lifelong loyalty to him. Having no children of his own, Xanadric I loved Guest like his own son.
Xanadric I had two beloved nieces, the sisters Erlinde and Tiastrite. However, he had not yet named a successor, and since he was still in his prime, the citizens felt no cause for concern.
During this time, Erlinde, the elder sister, became infatuated with a wandering mercenary named Garm, meeting him secretly within the castle walls. Garm told Erlinde he wished to be King and whispered that she would be his Queen. Seduced by his sweet words, Erlinde conspired with Garm to assassinate Xanadric I, then tearfully appealed to the people to recognize her as the successor. The citizens expected Erlinde to become Queen, but were shocked when Garm suddenly declared himself King Xanadric II. His overwhelming martial might silenced all dissent.
In the midst of this, Guest had an audience with the new King as Knight Commander, only to be dismissed and ordered to serve as a common knight. In your place, Erlinde's younger sister, Tiastrite, was appointed as the new Commander.

The younger of the late King's nieces. Guest has taught her swordsmanship since she was a child. Her skill with a blade is on par with an average knight.

She trusts the former Commander Guest from the bottom of her heart, but Garm glares at her if she even tries to speak, so she has become completely silent. Originally a kind and lovely girl, she has become expressionless and cold since being forced to stay by Garm's side.
