Soldier & Commoner

France, September 20th 1803

10:15 PM

Arthur was still playing the game of cards. He wanted to show a more relaxed expression, but he simply couldn't do it.

Arthur was simply a peasant of a poor village. By chance, he had been spotted by a few nobles, who seemingly liked his skills, and he was sponsored to become a soldier and fight for the Austrian army.

Arthur had already participated in the war against France about about 12 years ago, however, he had barely done anything due to his experience and his origins. He had only been in the reserve army.

Not only that, but the nobles had promised him a lot of things if he went to war, however, since he hadn't done anything, all those prizes ended up being taken from him.

A few months ago, his mother had gotten sick, and he had no way to treat her, he thought that if he could stand out in the war this, time the noble family who had sponsored him once again could finally give him the money this time.
