Introduction
I have made a contract with the holy seal of the knight Theo and pledge my eternal allegiance.
Siluca, a solitary magician, and Theo, a wandering knight.
Will the oath of fealty exchanged by the two bring a wind of change to the continent of chaos and warfare?
Atlatan, a continent where chaos rules everything.
People live in fear of disasters caused by chaos, and are protected by the "sovereigns," who possess the "holy seal," the power to quell them.
However, the monarchs soon abandon their philosophy of "protecting the people" and plunge into warfare, fighting for each other's holy seals and territories.
In the midst of this war, Shilka, a lone magician who despises monarchs without principles, and her husband, a young man who has been living under the rule of the "Sovereigns," are determined to free their homeland from oppression,
Theo, a wandering knight who continues his journey of training to free his homeland from oppression, meets Shilka, a solitary magician who despises monarchs without principles.
Touched by Theo's ideals, Shilka's forced trickery leads the two to conclude a contract of sire and sire,
Theo and Shilka, touched by Theo's ideals, enter into a master-servant contract and bring about change on a continent in the midst of warfare.
A great war fantasy unfolds over the "Emperor's Holy Seal" (Gran Crest), the crystal of order, and here it begins!
