Chapter 50 - Side Story: Seven Years Later

 [ Seven years after Marquess Rommel disappeared from the social circle of the Aurora Kingdom's nobility and ruled his territory from behind the scenes. ]

 In the middle of winter with snow piled thickly in the forest bordering Marquess Rommel territory, a girl stared at the Marquess Rommel's residence which seemed quiet without any signs of life.

 The small crown on her head showed her social status that was not an ordinary girl.

 Under the slowly falling snow, the girl was greeted by a military noble who gave her a knight's salute by kneeling in front of her.

 "Welcome to the Marquess Rommel's territory, Princess Anastasia."

 The knight who knelt in respect before her was a noble who had sworn allegiance to become the sword and shield of the Marquess Rommel family.
