[Bridget Family Mansion]
A beautiful melody resonated in the large room, it was an elegant room without a doubt, bookshelves full of books, a large chandelier in the middle of the room high on the ceiling, the floor covered in oak and a large red carpet of the highest quality.
The atmosphere of the room was accompanied by a beautiful melody.
A young man was in that room playing a piece on a piano that was at the end of the room in front of a large window that allowed the moonlight to cover it and thus illuminate it with its bright light…
Next to the young man's piano playing its elegant melody was a young lady lying on a silk-covered couch.
"Oh! My sweet princess, not even this magnificent moon that appears before us in the sky today can compare to your beauty."
The young man at the piano exclaims these words in admiration to the young lady who was lying unconscious on the couch.
Almost as if she were taking her actions in response to the young man, the young lady lying down calmly opens her eyes and takes a seat.
"Did I fall asleep?"
The young lady asked, as she turned her gaze to the young man playing the piano.
"Yes. My lady. I had the pleasure of gazing at her beautiful figure as she rested elegantly and serenely on that fortunate couch."
The young man spoke from his heart to the young woman without stopping to play his melody that loved so much.
----Young Lady— Tonight is very quiet, no one expects what this beautiful and quiet night brings, the storm is about to reach the kingdom of Astrea.
----Young Knight— *Smile* the units should already be arriving at that place at this moment, soon the kingdoms of humanity will be submerged in flames, however, your beautiful appearance should not be seen by those commoners, I will not allow some of those low-class trash to spill even a drop of dust on your beautiful figure.
Her naked body only covered by the blanket she held to her chest, the young lady left the sofa to walk towards the window glass, observing from the top of the fifth floor of the mansion, the window overlooked the majesty of the Araminta kingdom, she brought her hand to the cold glass at night, her slightly visible reflection seemed to rest on the illuminated city.
----Young Lady— This is my gift to you my dear older sister…
The piano filled the room with its melody and the wind rose towards the star-covered sky, on that peaceful night the first events were about to erupt that would lead to the beginning of a question that we still did not know.

[D.4 Special Hospital M.S.O of the capital Iskander]
[Parking]
The cold night had finally fallen, the young people inside the facility were already asleep and the guard at this hour was relaxing talking about their day, the wind, although not strong, could be felt and relaxed the men in uniform drinking their coffee.
It was not a night different from any other, the crickets singing and the wind whistling, the sound of vehicles on the road next to the facilities, visiting hours had ended a few hours ago and no one approached the facility at night.
But there was something unusual that night.
Yes… There they were, the cavalry of the Bridget family, although only one troop of them was here. The young people locked in the facility had only one objective
The teams were in position, the careless and confident guards still did not know what was happening in the shadows of that night.
----1st Knight of the BR Brigade— This is the first squad, we are on the roof of the facility in position to begin
----2nd Knight of the BR Brigade— Roger that, second squad in position also ready to begin
----Collector Squad Captain— Roger that you are allowed to enter the facility, the third squad will enter through the front, secure the upper floors and the objectives. You are allowed to open fire on any member except the imprisoned youth. Good luck and may the Lord guide you on your way brothers.
"Roger that, beginning assault"
[1st Floor Facilities]
The guards were preparing to leave for their home and were saying goodbye and heading to the entrance, however, they were thrown out by the huge explosion caused at the entrance of the facility, the room covered in flames and debris was invaded by a group unknown to them.
Without discrimination or hesitation they opened fire and finished off each of the guards who were on the floor due to the explosion, the blood jumping from the bodies calmed the flames, after taking care of the witnesses at the entrance, the group of invaders continued their way through the corridors of the facilities.
A confrontation begins when they encounter a group of guards, the shots begin to resonate in the rooms of the young people, attracting the attention of the inmates who are immediately put to sleep with sleeping gas.
The guards do what they can to resist, but they are quickly annihilated, their bodies now lying in the corridors.
[4th floor facilities]
The squad that entered from the terrace was carrying the sleeping inmates to the roof so that the helicopters could take them away.
[2nd floor facilities]
"The shots I heard came from the first floor"
Her breathing was agitated, she was looking for that young woman in her charge.
The young woman in charge was running quickly through the corridors of the second floor.
----Liz Albert— Arlet, I must keep you safe.
The young Liz Albert, in charge of taking care of Taisei and Arlet, was rushing in search of Arlet, she only thought about keeping her safe, however. The sounds of the shots cease and the footsteps begin to approach; the group that invaded them was already behind them.
Immediately calling the attention of the invaders.
----BR Soldier— Another rat on the second floor
----BR Soldier 2— Just get rid of it, we don't need anyone but the youngsters, useless trash like this is of no use to us.
Liz quickens her pace to reach the room where Arlet was being punished and enters the security code for the door.
----Liz Albert— Fine, I'll get you out of here.
Agitated from running, Liz enters the room and sees Agneta and Taisei sleeping.
----Liz Albert— So the change happened, they used the sleeping gas created by the "Professor", Agneta is also here, I can't take both of them, please excuse me, Miss Agneta.
Liz leaves the room with Taisei on her back, however, the men of the invading brigade had already found him.
Although none of them followed her, so Liz felt safe to advance towards the exit on the first floor.
----Soldier BR 4— He heads with an objective towards the west exit, take care of her
Liz descends the stairs to the first floor with difficulty.
----Liz Albert— Come on, you can do it Liz, remember when you used to carry the bags of potatoes, I'm not going to hand this boy over.
After affirming her decision and strengthening her resolve, Liz manages to reach the first floor.
The walls, once so pure white that it caused disgust, were now decorated in a bright red, which dripped down the walls and ceiling of the place.
----Liz Albert— All of these were only in charge of keeping the children healthy, none of them have combat skills, why did they do this to them?...
In their path were the bodies of their colleagues as well as the guards who tried to stop the invaders, but they were unable to do so.
Shots are heard coming from the second floor, another group of guards has encountered the invaders, but they do not last long, they are quickly subdued and executed.
Liz tries to speed up her pace when she hears the shots, however, she stops abruptly, feeling a throbbing pain in her right shoulder.
----Liz Albert— Huh? How strange… he was fine a moment ago.
A tearing sound is heard and a dagger rips through her right thigh making its way through the tissue and piercing the bone. The young Liz falls leaning on her left knee, her vision begins to blur and daggers begin to pierce her limbs one by one.
Dragging her knees, she seemed unable to abandon her duty. The tissue of her knees was torn with each movement, due to the broken glass on the floor, supporting the weight on her back and the pain of her notable wounds, her determination to save that boy was unwavering.
----Liz Albert— Just a little more… a little more… we're almost there…
Losing all her strength, her face hits the ground.
"Liz Albert, you will be in charge of the special case, Taisei Genpou and Arlet Genpou, Professor personally chose you for this duty"
----Liz Albert— I just wanted to save you. You reminded me of the feeling of feeling like a mother again… I just wanted to give back a little of the help you gave me when we first met… you have always reminded me of my son…
Liz Albert, In the past Liz was forced to watch as some novax devoured her little one, her body was with many wounds and her life seemed to have come to an end, however, her spirit could not rest because of the frustration she felt for not being able to save her little one, it was then when she woke up, a lady with a kind smile had saved her life, over time she learned thanks to the kindness of that woman, to live with her loss, however, one day that kind woman found herself in danger, and tried to flee the castle where she was living with her husband, she knew that the baby she had had did not belong to her husband, but was the result of her father-in-law's attack, from the act of depravation a girl who carried a weight on her shoulders that she could not understand was born, however she wanted to be able to take care of her no matter what, she pushed her away from the castle and ran through the forest with her baby in her arms, the beasts that the lord of the castle had summoned followed her and mortally wounded her.
Upon reaching a threshold of flowers inxtine In the middle of the forest, that lady said goodbye to her daughter with tears in her eyes. Liz would hear of the death of her friend, another person she cared about was forcibly taken away.
She never knew that those boys she was trying to save were the only memory of her precious friend; however, even without knowing it, she came to appreciate them as her own children.
She now lies on the ground unable to move; her eyes are covered in tears, cursing herself and apologizing to that young man for not being able to do anything to protect him.
----Liz Albert— My voice can't reach you anymore… Please take good care of yourselves, Arlet, learn to distribute your sleep schedules well, your hair is very beautiful, don't forget to comb it and rinse it well every morning. Taisei… You are very responsible with everything; please don't close your heart to the world… I know you were hurt, but there are people out there who would give their lives for you; use the strength you possess, to protect yourselves and those you love…
His lips never moved and only tears flowed from his eyes. His body lay on the ground in a pool of blood…
Drawing his last breath, he tries to take the hand of the young man he sought to protect, and his life is extinguished before reaching him.
----Soldier BR 1— We have recovered the main objective, all objectives secured, blow up the facilities and let's retreat.
All the young people were taken out of the holding facility; However, the staff working there died and disappeared in the explosion caused by the facility, which extinguished all traces of the building on the map.

[D.1 Capital of Araminta Kingdom]
[Bridget Family Mansion]
Next to a tea table, a young lady was wearing an elegant black dress, barefoot with a red lipstick in perfect harmony with her eyes; her long golden hair reflected the rays of moonlight, overshadowing them with her dazzling beauty.
----Young Knight— My lady, I have just been informed that the young people unjustly imprisoned by the corrupt government were rescued. Those poor children will finally be able to take revenge on the world that rejects them; I can no longer wait to see the kingdom of Astrea burn along with the hope of humanity.
The young lady, upon hearing the report, smiles slightly and behind a curtain of bats it disappears.
The beautiful melody of the piano resonated in the room now only with the presence of the young knight in it.
----Young Knight— Just wait a little longer, father, soon this world will be all yours; there will not be a being on this earth that does not kneel before the Bridget family.
[A Dream]
In the year 714 D there were many chosen ones who lived covered in glory and others not so fortunate who fell into despair. However, she is neither of them; although she was not covered in glory, she did not fall into despair either, for someone like her oblivion was her only path.
"You are just a failure. You do not need to do anything, no one will remember you, you will not need any feat, no one will praise you for it. You live and die only to be forgotten."
Her father was what you could call a superficial being; always looking to profit from any transaction, he saw everyone as objects; by showing no talent, he forced his only daughter to live a miserable life.
Her father's words were engraved in her heart; she always lived and died without asking for anything, without trying anything, without wanting or loving. She was someone who was told from the beginning that she was only born to be forgotten and that she should live in the shadows.
Having reached what he believed was the end of his journey, he only had to ask his father if he had fulfilled his duty.
----Girl— So this is where my journey ends. (Tell me, father, did I manage to fulfill my duty in the end?)
The young woman found herself in the middle of a muddy road from the rain that never stopped; she knew that her time had come; the end of her meaningless life in which she was not allowed to do anything was about to end; however, before letting herself be swallowed up by her desire to die, a warm feeling covered her hand.
"If you no longer have the desire to live, then I will take you."
The young man's calm and apathetic voice brought her back to her senses; the young man in front of her had his clothes covered in blood, but in his eyes there was only sadness. He held out his hand to her and she held it without hesitation.
In the years to come that she lived in the service of the young man, he never despised her. The Shirou family had adopted her as a younger sister to that young man.
But the young man did not avoid treating her with contempt because he felt some affection towards her; he was not allowed feelings of attachment towards other people. Her ability from the moment she was born was unmatched. He was handed over by his parents to the heads of his family to be trained. His parents died days later when the high lords of the Shirou family discovered the great potential that the child possessed, they got rid of his biological parents so that no one would interfere in his upbringing, they raised him as a weapon from the beginning, he must only live to fulfill the orders of his adoptive father, the only weapon that the Shirou family could use to stop the legendary knight who commanded the Scarleth army.
The guardian of humanity, she had invaded their lands some time ago and placed them under her command. Due to the personality of a just king, the guardian of humanity looked after the people of the kingdom and that is why they no longer listened to the current head of the Shirou family. In desperation, she only dedicated herself to training the young man she had taken years ago, the only weapon capable of fighting on equal terms with the warrior who was said to be invincible…
Only lived to fulfill her objective; the young man had no right to object if he was told to kill, he killed; if he was told to torture, he tortured without mercy. It was the perfect weapon; when she no longer needed him she would only have to order him to take his life and he would do it without hesitation. As the years passed, the head of the Shirou family took the young man and invaded a kingdom far from their lands, along with many lords who held a grudge against Commander Scarleth and gathered an army to overthrow her.
They began to call the young man the most powerful weapon of man.
``The Strongest´´
The lords, confident in the power of young Yüki Shirou, the only son of Angus Shirou, set out for the battlefield known as the Euan Wasteland a few miles from the Scarleth Kingdom. When the men arrived, the entire great army of lords who wished to eliminate the guardian of humanity from their lives were shocked to see the wasteland…
[A Dream Interlude]
The guardian of humanity, that's what they called her, she who lived for her people and always protected them with her sword, was loved and respected by all, but she was always alone on that peak, no one to talk to, no one to laugh with; she always remained firm, there was no doubt in her path and she lived to fulfill the promise she made to her father.
Many of her loyal knights gave their lives for her, but this was never demanded of her; even the wives of the fallen knights had great respect and admiration for her. She took care of everyone, did not allow them to go hungry, and although she remained on her throne for a long time, everyone dedicated their prayers to her for their future battles. She fought countless battles and emerged victorious from all of them.
Some came to worship her as if she were the incarnation of a benevolent and bold goddess; they said that the commander was a demigoddess born of a mortal man and a goddess; Peace does not last forever and the next fight was about to begin. A large army was approaching his lands; without hesitating for a moment he ordered his men to prepare and set out to intercept them on Euan's moor.
On the mountain horizon, in front of her men, the enemy army loomed. The lords who held a grudge against her were paralyzed when they saw the young knight in front of their troops. Without a doubt, they outnumbered her 100 to 1, however, the mere presence of the knight paralyzed the men who had come to end her life.
Among them was a young man who did not seem to feel any pressure from this; he was prepared to fight against everyone alone when ordered; he was the one they called "the strongest." The enemy commander gave the order to advance and the army began its advance with the intention of finishing off the young knight and her loyal men, but none could hurt her; her graceful and skillful movements finished off everyone in her path, bishamonte (God of war).
Some enemies began to call her by the name of the god of war, no one could stand up to her, even her loyal knights were feared, they were the best warriors on these lands, everyone respected her and fought for her, their morale was always high and that's why they did not hesitate. In numbers, they would undoubtedly have lost, but the skill they had with the sword was worthy of serving the guardian of humanity, only based on it could they fight 100 men on their own, there was only one young man who could face. The one known as the strongest who massacred his enemies could end their lives quickly, but he preferred to play with them by cutting off their limbs so that they feel the greatest pain before dying.
The young knight was an honorable young woman; there was no honor in the death of her men if they played with their bodies before they died; so she advanced towards the mad young man who only enjoyed playing with the loyal knights who entrusted him with their lives.
The fierce fight had begun; the mad young man known as the strongest alongside the lords faced the young knight; his loyal knights wanted to help him, but they were being stopped by the overwhelming number of enemies.
----Commander Eliza— There is no honor in surrounding a single enemy, although you lack all honor, so I will finish you off without holding back.
The hate-filled words that the young knight exclaimed resonated in the ears of her enemies and raised the morale of her loyal knights even more.
The lords attacked together; however, the young knight blocked and evaded their attacks with great ease and grace; it seemed as if she was dancing between the swords of her enemies. The unbeatable crimson-haired knight had never met a rival, and they, even with the help of the one they called the strongest, were no exception. She finished off the lords one by one and faced the young man in front of her. The strongest they said he was, and they were not wrong.
Their swords clashed, the difference in power, skill and experience was remarkable, the young man had no chance against her in such a field, however, although she surpassed him in all of this, it was impossible for her to finish the fight, the innate skills of that young man were no joke, although he did not have the experience and acquired skills of the guardian of humanity, he possessed true innate power, if they had been born at the same time, Eliza was sure that that young man would have been known as the guardian of humanity, his talent, reflexes and learning speed were far above hers, even in her current state, what defined the winner of that fight were only two variables, in the heated fight the young man launched an ascending attack with his sword which Eliza deflected using her sword, quickly placed herself in front of him and with a horizontal cut managed to end the fight against that young man, with their leaders defeated the enemy army fled, another victory, which her knights celebrated, but she did not, they had lost many loyal men.
Watching his hand tremble, she knew that if it weren't for the goddess's blessing, she would never have been able to defeat that young man.

[1-B]
"Eliza wake up!"
I could hear a voice calling me, which was very familiar to me; as I opened my eyes leaving my dream behind, it was my childhood friend Akira Shirou.
----Eliza Scarleth— Akira, what's wrong?
I forcefully wake up and exclaim a question to Akira, who immediately answers while holding her bag.
----Akira Shirou— You fell asleep, the bus is about to leave, hurry up now.
Akira quickly exclaimed his answer and we quickly ran to the bus. Today is the day of the school trip; we will go to the kingdom of Astrea, the largest kingdom and the main cradle of human life on earth.
[10:00 AM, 02/09/318 D]
The bus takes us to Menelaus Station, where we board the train that will take us to our destination. The rails on the large floating track that rises above the surface of the ocean are where we will travel to reach the kingdom of Astrea. All the islands that make up the kingdoms of Astrea are interconnected in this way.
The view is beautiful; incredible ocean creatures are completely visible from the train windows. The majestic novax, considered non-hostile, are in charge of these waters; it is their natural area.
----Ruby Genpou— Look, look, look! It's a Nobalaena; they are beautiful.
With an appearance similar to a huge whale with emerald crystals embedded in its body and a completely white surface, the majestic Novax creature could be seen with a great leap, forming a rainbow in its wake.
While Ruby and I were enjoying the scenery, Akina and Akira were chatting quietly. The lady with her candy cart had already passed by, so we were assured of our snacks.
----Akina Airi— I can't wait to see the buildings of the kingdom of Astrea, they say it's a very beautiful kingdom…
