"For the last time, Lady Seele, his majesty will surely punish us if we accept your offer."
Pouting, the princess can't help but feel extremely displeased from the words of her retainer.
For an hour, she tried to convince them and ask to be accompanied down the city. However, her hard-headed servants can't simply be convinced with a small bribe and reason.
This made her sulk and left the hall as she run towards her room. Filled with jewelry, her room was decorated thoroughly to her likings.
Extravagant diamonds, golds that resemble the flower she once favored. It can be said that she live the best of her life as the only daughter of King Daryl, ruler of Trinidad.
However, due to being the only girl among the siblings, she was given a strict rules.
'I wanna escape.' she thought as she bury her face through her pillows as tears flow from her eyes.
"I wanna escape." another voice of a girl, around Seele's age, resound.
In another place, in a small village located east of the Norm Continent, there lies a small family hiding within their rooms. Trying to hide from the invaders, who just murdered their father, Emma silently thought about such thing.
Both of them have the same thought, however, neither have the same reason.
A priveleged, and a non-priveleged one.
Soon, both will find themselves tangled by a mysterious string that will lead them to something more daring to come.
-----
Resting within a quarter of iron and metals. Wilhelm thought the outcome of these two girl.
Both have the same age, neither have different lifestyle.
'Should I save her?' he thought as he picture the image of Emma struggling to breathe without the freedom to do so.
However, he soon remembered the past event that transpired.
War, bloodbath, massacre, genocide, annilihation. A war no one can win. Four thousand years ago, such thing happen.
It may be unbelievable, but after experiencing such thing, Wilhelm can't even stop thinking about it.
Despite living for over 4,000 years, it still haunts him.
The bloods of his family, the experiences he endured. Wilhelm grit his teeth due to guilt, regret, and despair.
It didn't take long before he starts to move from his rest area and head to the main quarter where the entirety of the staff consist mostly of robots or rather, Artificial Intelligence.
He ignore them and sat down at his supposed "throne" and observe the current situation of the surface.
Looking at the screen in front of him. Multiple menu and contents of the round blue planet pop up.
According to its analysis, the current era is in medieval. No gunpowder was invented or got popular due to them having the power to manipulate energy.
That is enough to ignore the small amount of firepower they will have in the future.
And Wilhelm like that.
That means, no one will advance through their destruction. Just like what happened to them.
However, currently, the world is facing an existential crisis. Global famine have occurred and have a death toll of around ten millions. Not only that, wars were waged throughout the continent and micro states starts to form as former countries fall.
The only countries that are less affected are the ones at the southern most part of the continent.
Only three countries reside in such place. It was also isolated due to a large forest bordering the area. Because of that, not much of sickness were transmitted to them and cause a large scale famine.
And one of these countries is Trinidad. A kingdom which is rich in history.
Since the start of civilization, Trinidad was the first to ever evolve. Because of this, it expanded and manage to become a superpower.
However, in the recent years, the expansionism of this country halted and focused to its culture and people.
A confusing yet smart move.
However, around the eastern part of the continent lies the small kingdom of Killia. A falling country that was recently invaded by its neighboring country, the United States of Norm.
And this is Wilhelm's current plan.
To land somewhere isolated near its village and save the pretty girl he simps for.
'Don't worry Emma, I'm coming for you.' He thought as he lick his lips disgustingly with a wicked smile.
And with that, he ordered his staff to prepare for his departure.
