Prologue:
I guess I’ll never forget what happened that day
---It was eleven years ago Back when I, Alec Wolfgang, was still six years old Ever since, I have never felt as much hope as I had back then
On that glorious day, frourd» was more livelier than ever You only had to arrive to the entrance of the city and thecould be heard And in the heart of the crowd, a group of adults were happily doing a dance of sorts, hopping around laughing, holding aof wine or beer in one hand
Just looking at that made my heart race too
This whole event was a festival to commemorate the «Imperial Exploration Squad» ould be dispatched to the «Sword Labyrinth» under the emperor’s direct order
I had courd to bid off eon
Since ere the close relatives of one of the members of the «Iuests and had been given a seat in a high-class terrace, covered in a red carpet
The surroundings were filled oant dresses which made me more nervous and unable to calm down
Forof ha out of the chi surrounded by soin an entirely different world
But I wasn’t truly ed Instead, I felt a bit assured
And as to why that was, it was becausebeside me was more beautiful than anyone
It wasa dress It wasn’t a fancy dress, in the contrary, compared to the wonified aura she e
My heart was filled with pride knowing that I was her son
The parade started then
The stone street spanning beloas crowded to the brim with people
Slowly flowing through that cheerful croere the golden carriages with the elite alleys through a river, heading to the «Sacred Sword Gramm»
In one of the carriages was also
