บท 36: Amarantha [1]

Time_Dragonlord made a Dragon gift. Thank him in the comments, as there will be 5 chapters today.

This is 1/5 of the bonus chapters.

Although I had planned to rest today, so... I'm not breaking my promises. Enjoy your reading.

Elfheim. This word alone embodies many and varied ideas, as well as the dreams of ordinary people. Dense forests, rare plants, and never-before-seen animals dazzle the eyes of traders with their beauty and preciousness.

Greed—that's what drives each of them. It would be foolish to say that the war between Elfheim and Avalonia was spontaneous and entirely unexpected. For two hundred years, these two kingdoms have been stealing resources, including human ones, from each other.

Do you think that Elfheim is a haven for saints? No, not at all. There is filth everywhere, and no one in this world is clean. Anyone who wishes to get power in his hands must be willing to dye himself red with blood.
