Emperor's Judgment (1)

After disembarking from the Nautilus, Asuero shed tears of emotion... as he looked around.

An impressive coastal fortress and straight, long roads welcomed him. He whistled as he walked on the smoothly paved road that ran through the dense forest.

Anticipation.

A fulfilling anticipation for the future ahead filled Asuero's entire body.

Asuero wept as he remembered the difficult life he had experienced until now.

It is the way of the world that hardships befall the righteous, and all manner of deception in the world comes upon the honest. All the poverty and frustration he had experienced until now flashed before his eyes.

Born as a child of a poor hidalgo (a lower Spanish nobleman), he had worked as a mercenary for decades until his body was broken, all for the sake of advancement.
