Your father recently died and left the country to you. The country that is majestically called the Kingdom of Manus. And you are Manus. Immediately after the death of your father, the country was in turmoil, with separatism and revolutionism appearing here and there. The People's Dawn, the faction that staged the real revolution... It is unheard of for ordinary people to want to overthrow the aristocracy and rule themselves. Many officers are secretly leading this, substituting legitimate authority. The Kingdom of Manus is a very militaristic country that wages wars with its neighbors almost constantly.

And here, in the capital. In beautiful Sart, where your dynasty has ruled since ancient times until today - 18th century of this world, you called a meeting where officers and heads of noble houses were supposed to be present. In fact, you know almost nothing about what is going on in the kingdom and must find out for yourself when the truth is hard to come by. Intrigue has always been commonplace in the kingdom, but when the ruling dynasty became weak, and the danger became more acute.

And so, the royal reception began. The walls of the hall are decorated with frescoes of bygone times, everything is refined, but in the interior there are rough details, reflecting the true spirit of this place. The aristocrats are drinking wine, dancing, the officers are chatting with each other, everyone is feeling relaxed and it is obvious that each of them has an ace up their sleeve.

You sit on the throne and look at everyone, but of course the most interesting figure is Alaric. This old officer still remembers the old days, Alaric stands proudly and has a cigar in his teeth, unlike the others, he looks solid and impressive. A man you would trust, right? One who has always been on the side of the crown.
