(Principality Chapter)
The twinkling colors of the stars are scattered across the vast night sky.
The sky at this hour, the enchanting night, the beauty—all of this has remained unchanged on the continent of Valentino for centuries.
The magnificent morning star, whose position has not shifted significantly, and the various brilliant constellations and galaxies arranged according to their own characteristics, together form a macroscopic static beauty.
In this place, what quietly illuminates them are those nameless sparks that appear and disappear and flow slowly.
The stargazer felt in his heart—this must be what is meant by the myriad phenomena of the stars.
The young man, lying sprawled on the grass, sighed inwardly at how long it had been since he had taken the time to appreciate the starry night sky of his homeland.
For young people, the degree of "long time" should mean "a period of more than a century".
From the Kingdom era to the present, more than 130 years have quietly passed. Even disregarding the span of time, the change in system from "Kingdom" to "Prince" is already enormous.
Nevertheless, the young man was exceptionally clear-headed; the homeland he loved—the so-called homeland—was the Kingdom of Valentino, a prosperous and powerful kingdom more than a hundred years ago.
It is certainly not the Principality of Valentino that attempts to deceive the world with a facade of peace, as it does today.
He deeply loved his country. This love was unparalleled, and perhaps even less understood today.
Even after reincarnation, it has never changed.
It was this deep patriotism that awakened the youth's memories of his previous life.
During the Kingdom era, he was the Grand Master of the Royal Knights, a warrior who regarded protecting his country as his highest mission and honor.
Until the final battle to defend the kingdom and eliminate the rebels, the Royal Knights were annihilated, leaving him all alone to face the rebels' massive army.
Even though the defeat of the Imperial Knights by the rebels was inevitable, and he himself was seriously wounded with his chest pierced by the enemy's sword, he still stood tall.
By that time, the kingdom's demise was an undeniable fact.
After his memories were awakened, the young man also inherited the Flame Crest he possessed when he was the leader of the guild, as well as the skills he had learned.
Now he is an unparalleled master of fire.
He vowed to etch the hatred of the nation's destruction into his heart.
So he reclaimed his name from his time in the kingdom—Van Titeren. To avenge the destruction of his kingdom and to gain power, Van joined the Demon Lord's ranks, becoming one of the six Demon Generals, the "Sages."
It is said that when the Demon Lord was sealed in the Dark Sea, he stole some of Elfons' memories and greatly admired this pseudo-hero.
Elfons, the leader of the Northern Rebellion, was the culprit who brought about the kingdom's downfall.
Van will not allow anyone to stand in his way of revenge.
His will does not yield to any person or nation of the present day; his will is born for an ancient kingdom called Valentino, and he will fight and die for it.
Knowing that there was no hope of restoring his kingdom, Vain had only one goal in life: revenge against the reincarnation of Alphonse, Felsa Danlitaire.
It was precisely because he loved the kingdom so much that he harbored such deep resentment.
This resentment has transformed into a fiercely burning flame in my heart, one that will never be extinguished.
Facing the star-studded night sky, the eternal and unchanging sky that stretched from the kingdom to the duchy and has remained to this day, Brahma secretly vowed that he was about to take the first step on his path of revenge against those who destroyed his kingdom.

The year 256 of the Alchemy Era in the Duchy of Valentino, the month of fire...
Knights Guild.
Philsa had been lying in bed for days without getting any exercise.
Today, before the sun has even risen above the mountain, I got up early, picked up my sword again, and resumed my daily sword practice.
The magical particles within the demonic vein are flowing normally.
The magical veins that supply magic flow unimpeded.
Because of the demon blood flowing through his veins, Philsa's injuries healed faster than expected. His swordsmanship, which had become slightly sluggish after a few days of inactivity, quickly returned to its former state after a short practice session this morning.
Actually, it was all thanks to Shirley's meticulous care.
This reminded Firsa of an old saying by Valentino.
Although I don't remember the exact words, I guess it was something like "women are generally thoughtful and have an innate ability to care for others."
Anyway, he thought this statement made a lot of sense, and it was very appropriate to describe Shirley.
I heard from a fellow traveler that when she heard that Felsa was injured and unconscious, she jumped off the airship that was about to leave Time City and, with the help of the wind, landed near the collapsed Time Tower.
It was midday. After wiping away the profuse sweat, he changed into a loose white shirt.
After a moderate amount of exercise, Philsa was full of energy. Wearing a coat, he sat at his desk in his room on the second floor of the guild, reading the principality newspaper that had just been distributed that day.
"The Tower of Reversal of Time was attacked and collapsed by villains, and the ancient tower has sadly disappeared."
Reading this title, and recalling the battle with General Kerese on the tower, Philsa still felt a little apprehensive.
That was the first time he witnessed the power of the "Crest," the ruthless strength that Kaireser unleashed when facing his demonic enemies.
It is understandable that General Kaleiser harbors deep hostility towards demons; it can only be said that Philsa's "half-human, half-demon" situation is extremely awkward.
In fact, Sherry wasn't the only one among his friends who knew about his demon identity.
