Chapter 0. Prologue
Come to your senses and don’t stop.
The rain of arrows falls again.
I swung my sword and blocked some people and hit others. He ran forward and thrust out his sword. He turns the knife that pierced two people and cuts another one.
Don’t fall down.
Today should not be Secretia’s last.
Someone ran forward. I swing my sword like a habit.
He blocked it with his shield. And I ask.
“I remember. What’s your name?”
“I forgot.”
I am just a sword that serves the king.
I moved my remaining arm again.
My sword breaks at the gesture of his hand.
“Ah… So, you are Chase’s younger brother. I wanted to meet you.”
Instead of answering, he swung the knife with only the handle remaining. The guy didn’t avoid it.
He sent a spear of ice.
I couldn’t stop it.
– Kwasik!
The sound of life being torn apart is heard in my ears.
It becomes difficult to continue breathing.
“I am Arsene Hertz, the leader of the Balkan Legion of Kairis Wizards. Bern, King of Secretia. I will remember you. You have fought enough.”
I raised my eyes and followed the distance.
I was trying to find where my brother, His Highness, was.
But the blurred eyes showed nothing.
“So now rest.”
The light
fades.

That was the last memory I had.
It was 10 years ago since that day that I opened my eyes again.
By any chance, I had the body of Calian, the third prince of Kyris, who destroyed my homeland, Secretia.
Kalyan.
A weak prince who regretted his lineage as a descendant of a dragon.
He was very cowardly, had no background power, and was not even capable of protecting himself, so he lived his whole life in silence and was assassinated before he even turned 15.
That was the future that was coming to me.
So what are you going to do now? Kalian in the mirror asks.
I answered.
“of course.”
I have to live.
