Around the time Rigel's Gousser Marquis army captured the fortress—
Balzac von Gousser, the current head of the Gousser Marquis family and Rigel's father, was visiting the royal capital of the Kingdom of Wistaria.
He had come for his duties as Commander of the Royal Guard Knight Order.
"Fuu… I'm a little tired. Long carriage rides really take a toll."
Even managing his own territory kept him extremely busy, and on top of that he had to fulfill his responsibilities as knight commander. It was no easy task.
Well, he had a steward handling the territory and a vice-commander for the knight order, so he managed somehow — but it was still exhausting.
(If only Mesterica would grow up a bit more, things would become easier…)
He thought this while overseeing the knights' training.
His daughter, Mesterica von Gousser.
At just 15 years old, she was already a talented girl who had mastered mid-level swordsmanship.
