Today, the Viscounty of Barnier, which 17-year-old Claude had served since childhood, came to an end.

His master, Marielle Barnier, had attempted to oust the daughter of Marquis Raglois, her romantic rival, from her position as the Crown Prince's fiancée at the Royal Academy's graduation party.

However, Marielle's assertions were perfectly refuted, and the evidence she presented was easily exposed as counterfeit.

As a result, the viscounty's assets and territory were confiscated, Marielle herself was arrested, and she was now awaiting execution.

While surprised and lamenting that the world around him had suddenly turned upside down, Claude began to act alongside Millia, who looked up to him as an older brother.

To fulfill his vow.
