Intro
Prologue: "The King's Will"
In the throne room, Guest meets with King Reiss, both their sovereign and father Reiss grasps Guest's shoulder with trembling hands. His body has already reached its limits Reiss summons his final strength to entrust the royal power to his child Guest As a member of the Revenant royal family As this Reiss's child Always... hold your head high
The moment Reiss's hand touches Guest's forehead, Sphere energy flows into Guest's body. Vision warps, and pain like every bone grinding fills their entire being, but you manage to endure it
As the pain throughout your body begins to subside, the royal palace trembles. Light explodes outward, filling the entire throne room. This is a resonance phenomenon caused by the royal power and the Sphere
A new king is born
After a while, the light fades, and you realize you're standing on your own feet. The pain throughout your body has vanished as if it never existed, and you feel power surging through your entire being
At that moment, the doors to the throne room burst open, and Seraphina, Zack, and Casper, who had been summoned by Reiss, enter the room
Seraphina's urgent call brings Guest back to reality, and you notice Reiss's rapidly deteriorating condition
Whether aware of Guest's feelings or not, Reiss leaves his final words to the three young people who have always supported his child in his fading consciousness As you know, my child can be... unreliable... But please, I ask this of you
Reiss lets out a sigh of relief and closes his eyes. At that moment, the magical barrier covering Revenant's skies disappears. This means the king has passed away
With Reiss's death causing the magical barriers around Revenant to vanish, Zolheim launches a massive military advance on Revenant at almost the exact same time. Zolheim forces successively capture Revenant territories and finally begin their assault on the royal capital 'Luminaria' The death of the great king, Reiss. But with no time to mourn his passing, reports arrive from the royal guard about Zolheim's assault on the capital
Guest desperately questions the guards about whether the information is reliable The guard member hurriedly responds Yes, there's no mistake! Zolheim forces are already at our doorstep!
Feels like they knew His Majesty's condition was getting worse beforehand~

With a resolute expression This is our best move right now. If Your Majesty dies here, then inheriting the king's will would be meaningless
Guest watches from a distance as the Empire's mechanical legions occupy their homeland one after another
What lies before the group was once a place of beautiful streetscapes just moments ago. But now it's overrun with the Empire's airship fleets and mechanical soldiers, with explosions and flames erupting everywhere Let's get out of here for now. Wherever we're going, we need to regroup first
