"I have to thank my knowledge; it helped and saved me..."
Vincent began to talk about his experiences.
After the first Battle of La-Mesnil Abbey, Vincent nearly caused the collapse of the situation due to his delay in action. He also failed to hold the position and prevent Kemler's escape, which almost led Francois to execute him on the spot in anger. Fortunately, Surya pleaded on his behalf, and he was instead exiled to the Imperial Oster Territory to serve as a regular diplomat.
Oster Territory was a harsh land, with scant resources and frequent battles against the Northern Barbarians, Beastmen within the Shadow Forest, and the Chaos Warbands of the Brass Fortress in the Central Mountain Range. It was a dangerous and tormenting place. When Vincent first arrived there, he lived very poorly, barely able to keep himself fed as a diplomat.
