The provided chapters detail the initial stages of a narrative involving two protagonists, each facing significant and unusual circumstances.
The first protagonist, an eighteen-year-old who has lived a secluded life dedicated to training and wishing for world peace, receives an anonymous letter. This letter claims that the Demon Lord, believed to have been vanquished by a hero over fifty years ago, is still alive and plotting to overthrow the world. Despite lacking worldly experience and the ability to discern truth from deception, the protagonist believes the letter implicitly. They are told they possess the blood of the hero who defeated the Demon Lord and feel compelled to act. This realization brings them immense joy, as they have spent their life preparing for such a moment, fearing they might become useless if the threat never materialized. They confess to having killed the Demon Lord twenty-five nights prior and await a lawyer to whom they intend to confess everything.
The second protagonist is a young, ambitious lawyer named Dan, who runs the Lockhart Law Office. He is a prodigy, having graduated law school and passed the bar at a young age, driven by a desire to earn money after a childhood in an orphanage. His law firm, however, is facing severe financial difficulties. The situation escalates when his only employee quits abruptly, leaving a rude note in his shoe and having pawned off all the office supplies. Desperate for income, Dan seeks out his former mentor, Natasha Holstein, a renowned and highly successful lawyer known as the "Queen of Acquittals." Natasha, despite her brilliance, is characterized by her extreme unkemptness and strong body odor. She is currently overwhelmed with work, having to defend her wealthy and eccentric brother, who is being sued for sexual harassment after stealing a maid's underwear. Dan agrees to take on a case that Natasha prioritizes but cannot afford to handle herself: the murder of a woman named Claudia Rheinland, an eighteen-year-old with no known address or profession. The murder occurred at the Westminster Hotel, a resort built into a cliff face. The victim was found near a large stone statue of a warrior on horseback, its sword stained with blood. The actual murder weapon, Natasha reveals, is a sacred sword named "Blutgang." The narrative ends with Dan contemplating this peculiar case and the unusual circumstances surrounding it.
