The peace was short-lived.
It all began with the downfall of a noble residing in a small, remote territory.
No one paid much attention, dismissing it as a mere bandit raid.
However, that was just the beginning.
Starting with that nobleman's estate, the surrounding estates fell one after another.
It wasn't a territorial conflict, and it didn't occur abruptly, even if they were bandits.
There would always be some survivors.
But as it grew, the whole Empire was agitated by the news that a territory recognized for its military power had collapsed overnight.
Until that time, most people didn’t care that much, even though it was strange.
But this time, the disappearance became widely known.
'It was a well-known Count in the Empire who fell.'
The position of a Count in the Empire had power equal to that of a duke in a smaller country.
It was not the kind of territory that could collapse overnight like that without rumors.
