Agatha Harz was born to a family of nobles in the Merun empire to Father Lerun and Mother Nerona
Their family prospered and held a lot of power and wealth but on the day that was supposed to be joyous a tragedy struck the family on the day of the birth of their first child
"I am very sorry to inform you but your wife did not survive the labor," said the doctor with a grim expression on his face to the now widowed head of the Herz family "But we were able to save your child, it is a healthy girl"
Crushed and in tears Lerun decided that he would protect the child that his beloved wife gave life for with everything he had and treated Agatha with love and care but the tragedy that befell the Herz family was not yet enough for the fate to be satisfied.
Lerun was big and masculine in stature with an intimidating face so no one desired to start a fight with him until that fateful day
One day when he was walking through the busy market, looking at the stalls and thinking about buying something for his daughter he got tired of all the noise and decided to catch his breath in a dark alleyway just behind a stall
Then a man bumped into him, being used to pickpocketers around the capital he quickly searched his pockets for everything important and then he noticed that something was missing, a small but valuable wooden doll that he bought for his daughter
Quickly he turned around and confronted the man who bumped into him "Hey stop, give that back" he shouted at the man
The man turned around, he was a bit older with an unattended brown beard and hair, wearing a rugged cloak with a hood over his head "I don't know what you're talking about mister, leave me alone" he replied with his fading voice
"I know you stole it, give back the doll before I call the guards" At the mention of guards the man flinched and instinctively pulled a knife from his pocket " I didn't want to do this but have it your way," the man says coming closer to Lerun
"Give me everything you have or I will cut you up like a fish, do you understand" Lerun just stood there in shock, not expecting this to happen, but before he could react the sound of clinging metal started to echo through the alley
"Guards dammit" the man panicked as he started running away from the clinging, in front of him stood Lerun still frozen in shock, but the man didn't hesitate and launched at Lerun with the knife in hand to get rid of the obstacle in front of him
The knife went right through his stomach as he pushed the opponent to the ground, the man just got back up and started running away, but Lerun collapsed to the ground
After a few moments, the guards arrived in the ally but it was too late, the wound was too big and he bled too fast, thus there was nothing they could do but pray for him
After that Agatha went to live with her grandfather Bemer Harz who even occasionally took Agatha into the imperial palace with him to help with simple tasks and errands, Agatha met Victor who was the crown prince, and his brother Orvus who was always doing something he shouldn't but the three became close
After a few years, Agatha became Victor's assistant to achieve her goal of getting rid of crime in the empire to protect good people like her father by expanding and strengthening the knighthood that became lazy and ineffective
...Back to the present and Agatha is about to get a proposition that will change not only her life but the whole empire with it
