The Duke Who Swore Loyalty to the Queen
In his first life, Alexander Valtor was the feared Duke of Valtor, of the Aurelio Empire, known as the empire’s most ruthless noble. Accused of murdering his own family for power,even though he denied it he was eventually betrayed and executed, his name forever stained in history.
But death was not his end. Instead, he was reborn in a completely different world—Earth.
Born as Arthur Lancaster in 1918, he grew up in the United Kingdom and joined the military as World War II erupted. With the experience of his past life, he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of Britain’s most decorated soldiers. He served under two queens, first Queen Elizabeth I and later Queen Elizabeth II, dedicating his life to the monarchy and his country. As the highest-ranking officer in the British Army, he commanded armies, shaped wars, and became a living legend. Even in old age, his loyalty never wavered.
At 105 years old, after a lifetime of service, he passed away peacefully. But when he opened his eyes again, he was back in his 16-year-old body, standing in the empire that once condemned him.
This time, he has no intention of bending his knee to an emperor he does not recognize. His only allegiance is to the queens he once served, even if they don't exist in this world. Leaving behind his noble title, he walks away from the empire, determined to live by his own rules.
Yet as war looms on the horizon, his instincts as a soldier refuse to stay buried. The empire does not know it yet, but the man they once feared has returned—and this time, he fights on his own terms.
