Choot—!
As soon as the train came to a halt, my gaze was drawn to a statue that stood distinctively apart from everything else in view within the estate.
'Yuma Coventhorne, the Wheeled Hero of the Coventhorne.'
The monument was crafted from green marble, showcasing exquisite sculpture. The figure depicted was holding a shield adorned with a wheel, earning him the title of the Wheeled Hero. He had become a hero of Coventhorne four hundred years ago for single-handedly defending a site that, if lost, would have resulted in the immense loss of a million lives.
This achievement solidified the position of the Coventhorne among the Ten Families. However, like in every tragic hero's story, he ultimately perished, sacrificing himself and losing everything in the end.
Choot—!
"Welcome to the Thorne Estate!"
As the train passed by, the announcer's voice could be heard over the speakers as she announced the departure of the train.
