Hortensia Saga

Synopsis

December 5, 767, of the New Holy Era, the forces of Camellia rebel against their allies in the Kingdom of Hortensia. Duke Regis Camellia transforms into a werewolf and slaughters the King of Hortensia and a few of his Knights Templar, while his Camellia knights and a force of magical monsters wreak havoc across the capital. Maurice Baudelaire barely manages to escape after losing an eye in the battle, delivering Fernando Albert's sword to his son Alfred, as well as a boy named Marius that he rescued. Hortensia manages to survive the rebellion, but with the King dead and the Princess Mariel missing, Hortensia's next king is a young boy named Charlot. Two weeks later, after mourning their dead relatives, Alfred and Marius begin training under Maurice to get revenge on Camellia. Four years later, Alfred and Marius join their first real battle with Hortensia soldiers, but find themselves under attack by a skilled Camellia archer unit led by Roy Bachelot, who easily beats Alfred and Marius with his custom bow, but retreats when Maurice steps in.
