A few hours earlier...
On a prairie at a distance of five kilometers from the walls of Count Connard's main city, three men in obnoxious military uniforms mounted on beautiful war horses were looking at the scenery before their eyes. From the shine in their eyes, they seemed to be satisfied with the outcome of the event.
From left to right, Prime Minister Robert Lancer was adorned with a royal blue outfit, cardinal red for Prince Paul Astley, and black for one of their trusted allies, Marquis Edward Krieg.
Edward Krieg was the head of a renowned military family in the Kingdom of Astley. In his fifties, he stood over six feet and possessed a great physique characterized by black hair and sharp keen.
Through discipline and experience, his sheer strength and good leadership were worth being afraid of. Being on the same boat as the two, Edward had already had enough of the king's rule and did not hesitate to join the planned revolution of Paul and Robert.
