"What!?" the general yelled, almost spitting out his coffee. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, sir! We confirmed it just now!"

The general slammed his fist on the desk. "Have the mana lines been set up yet?"

"No sir!"

The General almost spit. "Is Princess Victoria in radio range?"

"She might be."

"Then run this by her. It's almost time for the operation to begin." It was little more than a week out. "Why thr hell is an Imperial Knight coming here?"

The Imperial Knights served the Emperor. So if the Emperor had ordered them here...

The General hated politics. That's why he became a soldier. If one of the Imperial Knights were coming...

    Sir RisleyAs his plane began to land, Risley took one last look over the New Siberian wilderness. The authorities back in Aquroya were going to name New Siberia Alaska when they won and make it a new country, to be handed over to the Romanovs.At first, Risley couldn't understand why they would do that. It was imperial police never to surrender land conquered. The land was bought with the blood of Aquitese subjects. Their very people. Any land bought with such a price was far too expensive to allow it to be given away.Sir Risley wasn't looking at the big picture though. It had to be pointed out to him. When the Romanovs were given Alaska, they would have to give up their claim to the Roslachnian throne. The Emperor had designs to put his son on the throne with the Roslachnian princess.That plan revolved on trusting Prince Calixte, so if he needed to trust his son, why was Sir Risley being deployed as a spy?As the plane touched down, a retinue from the general met him.

    Sir RisleyThe door opened and a man with the biggest handlebar mustache Sir Risley had ever seen stood to greet him. The general was a huge, well build man that looked like he spent the entirety of his day working out.He was wearing the uniform of a general, so this must be the man who called him. The large man looked Sir Risley up and down, eyeing his uniform. Then he saluted. "Sir Risley! It is a pleasure to meet you!"Risley returned the salute. "Likewise, general...?""General Visset, Sir Risley!"In terms of military, the general outranked him, but the Imperial Knights spoke with Emperor Francois's authority, meaning that Risley was the most powerful person on the base right now.Well, except for maybe Prince Calixte. As a prince, he was also the extension of the emperor's authority.The general stepped to the side and Risley entered what he assumed was a meeting room, but it was completely deserted. This room must have belonged to the Roslachnians at one point because Risley c

    The Knight"You? A knight?" Tammy said. She had that mocking look in her eyes. "Don't glare at me. Being a knight is dangerous. Do you want to die on the battlefield?"They stopped walking when they reached the top of the fill. The town of Branwell spread out before them, nestled in the middle of the Reaux Forest. The town at been built before the Industrial Revolution, when ships were still built of wood. The empire had transitioned away to an economy powered by industrialization. It was only the mining of sunstone that stopped Branwell from turning into another ghost town."I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life.""Then don't, but why does that mean you have to become a knight?""Maybe I should join the army.""That's hardly better. Prussia is at war with Roslachnian. Aquitaine is constantly an aggressor force and geared for war. A war we're likely to be dragged into. If you enlist, you'll be dragged out to some battlefield somewhere.""My dad thinks Prussia is just postu

    Edge of the KingdomBranwell was a small border town, at the edge of the kingdom, but despite its size, the mayor's house was huge. It could rightfully be called a villa and was far too big to have been built for the mayor of a rural border town. It looked like it belonged to an official in one of the big cities. Yukina was at a loss as to why it had been built there.The mayor of the town was a minor noble, the head of a small branch family of House Reyns. He had built it himself, which explained everything. He had been hoping for a position in a more important place, and Yukina could imagine he hadn't been happy when he found out he was posted to somewhere so unimportant.She stifled a yawn as the mayor pointed out at his gardens. "Blue roses. It was expensive to buy them and have them brought here, but as you know they have wonderful healing properties. It was worth every penny spent, and I do say they are so beautiful when they bloom after winter. If you would permit me to show yo

The under developed landscape before her that stretched out as far as the eye could see.When Tanya was a child, she had come here with her family once. That was before the Roslachny had fallen to the reds.She never would have thought back then that she would return as an invader.

    Calixte ArcAs the sun came over the horizon, the dawn of the final push slowly arrived. I sat at the top tower, staring at no man's land that separated us from the New Serbian-controlled land.Alaska was beautiful. I wished I had got to see it before I had been reincarnated. I wish I had come up here to see it in this beautiful land in the other world, in a world where these lands were peaceful. A place where these lands wouldn't be soaked in a sea of blood in just a few hours.I could see my breath against the cold air as I breathed. My breath dispersed against the pale blue sky. There were a few clouds in the sky, tinny little things floating along in the blue void.The door behind me opened, creaking open with a groan. I didn't turn around, the sky and no man's land had my attention captured. How could it not? As the sun continued to rise, the snow started to sparkle.It had snowed last night, but the snowfall stopped sometime in the night. The only evidence was the sparkling snow

    Calixte ArcBy the time the clock rolled over to eleven, the air was still biting cold. I finished my coffee and stepped out into the cold. My warplane was at the end of the tarmac, right next to Tanya's.My squadron was near the end. Bian, Rolo, Sasha, and Alphonse were waiting for us.When we arrived, Bian wasted no time: "Get in the cockpit. We have a private channel open. We'll discuss the mission there."I pulled myself up into my machine, closing the cockpit. It was a little warmer but not by much. I touched my radio and pushed my mana into the radio. It flipped on with static."Sunset Two, online," I said.The rest of the squadron called the affirmative, ending with Bian."Alright, now that we're all here, our mission is simple. These are the coordinates of our mission. This is a small fortified position, with its own fighter squadron guarding it. Our mission is to force the fighter squadron or to destroy it. After that, we land and take the position by force. That simple. We k

Because of the vision, she showed me, I knew where to find that room and we were going in guns blazing.Bian and Alphonse were in first, charging power to their shield gems. The hail of gunfire was deflected from the shields and all the focus was on them.Rolo and Sasha followed, making another loud entrance, to draw the rest of their attention.I was sneaking in last. As the room was filled with the sounds of bullets and magic, I sprinted in under the power of a cloaking spell. It should have been called a camouflage spell because that's what it did. In the chaos of the assault, no one was going to notice me sneaking in.The plan played out perfectly. As I slinked in pressing myself to the wall, I looked around for her. For my enemy.

    The passanger

    We were supposed to board the plane at three, but we didn't get on the damn plane until five. Five o'clock, TWO HOURS after we were supposed to board. We should have been in the air by that point, but Charles de Gaulle airport was never the most efficiently run place.As we were at last allowed to board, I took one last look at the City of Lights. In terms of architecture, Paris was my favorite city in the world. I didn't get to visit often and I realized I was going to miss it. The three days of relaxation had gone by in a flash and I wished I could stay just a little bit longer. It was a very beautiful city and these days I never had many chances to relax.My life was my job. At least my sacrifice was about to pay off...***"Of course, sir.

    Calixte Arc

    Calixte ArcAs the world swam around me, I was jolted back into a familiar scene. One that had happened less than an hour ago. This was the freshest memory I had ever gone back to.The dark figure formed a black ink sword out of its arm. It was large and bulky, and it pointed it at us. Before I could react, the creature leaped forward. Despite how bulky his sword was, it moved like a fucking ghost. Before I could defend myself, it was right in front of me. Its sword-arm gleamed in the light and he struck me in the chest full on.The question was, how did I get into this memory? The woman in that room must have been the one assailing me, but how did she do it? It had felt like she forced a spike of ice into my head and then I was here.That mental assault was more powerful than anything I have ever felt from her. I didn't know she had that amount of force. If she had... If she had... Why didn't use it before?I found out the creature was made of mana because my shield gem flickered to

    Master Shadow - Calixte Arc

    Master ShadowShe glared at the man in white, hunched over his crystal ball. She hated that she had to rely on him, but without his guidance, they'd be blind. Still, it didn't sit right with her."Where are they?" she demanded of him. Master Shadow had half a mind to run over and peer into the ball herself, but she didn't have the spells to work it. So she was left standing there, waiting."They just left the room," he said quickly. He didn't want to draw her anger, which proved he had a brain in his head."Where are the prince and the other one going?""They're heading towards the other intruders."Master Shadow rubbed her chin. They wanted to link up, did they? Her instinct wasn't to allow that, but it might be better. If she could cripple the prince in dreams and memories...But she had already tried that. He was resisting and the protection he put around his mind was strong. She could pierce him one more time, but after that, she wouldn't have enough power left. One last time and

    The InspectorAs he was brought into the room, Inspector Calares watched him closely. The young man sat down with that calm demeanor of someone sure they weren't going to be executed. It wasn't an act and that surprised him more than anything else. If he was in that young man's position, he wouldn't have been able to remain so calm.If this interview went poorly, if the higher-ups decided he was guilty, Sanctus wouldn't just kill him. He'd be subjected to tortore as a tratior to the People's Union, a fate arguably as bad as hell. Of course, they would never send his soul to hell. The Party went to great lengths to ensure their people had a frame of reference to what happened to traitors.This man would be made an example of and Inspector Calares sure as he didn't want to be the one to send him there, but he had a job to do. If he failed, they'd turn their sight on him.The young man didn't say anything. He just grinned. Inspector Calares didn't meet his eyes at first. He picked up his

I thought I clamped down on my mind with iron, but the force drawing me back into my memories came back with a vengeance. The world swam again and drifted into the misty reality of my mind and my memories...Only it wasn't my memories. I could tell by the context of the misty world that there were memories. I was all too familiar with this state of mind now, but as the mist swirled around me and became solid form, I was in a room I recognized.Only because I was just there when I followed the source of these attacks back. This was the room of the woman who was orchestrating the memory attacks on me.She channeled her mana into the crest, watching as the Aquitaine team slowly surrounded the trap.As more plans landed and they were forced to retreat, the watcher brought her mirror up.

At that moment, it truly looked like the grime reaper ready to begin its bloody work.The world turned to slow motion as the shadow swung its scythe. I aimed, looking down the sights at the monster about to reap my teammate.I channeled my mana into the bullet. I had to shoot now, or that thing would kill him- the world started to spin. No! Not now. I had to keep my eye on the prize and save Alphonse.I pulled the trigger before the memory could suck me in."You're probably right.""Calixte... Calixte and Tanya. Why are you so familiar?""Rolo, pin him down for me, will you? My arm's getting tired.""Roger."I took a deep breath and kept my arm in the same position.

    Shadow Master - Calixte

    Shadow MasterShe watched as the prince blinked out of existence, not that he was truly there to start with. He had followed her mind back here, something she hadn't planned for. The boy was talented, but he was still new to the effects in the grand scheme of things. He shouldn't have been able to follow her."That boy." If she wasn't so furious, Shadow Master might have been impressed. As it stood, she was going to make him pay. He should have kept his guard up the whole time because she has a small point in his mind.With her shadow attaching him, the prince didn't have the time to stroll down memory lane. She'd throw him back into one of the memories he'd already experienced. Sure, he'd resist, but with that monster coming at him...She set the shadow to kill. She no longer cared what Emer Gallagher wanted. If the girl became a problem, Shadow Master would use the shadow to end her life as well. The Central Party couldn't fault her.
