Hawk Castle is a noble territory located in the northeastern part of the Ramos Duchy. Its lord's name is Marshall Miller, who was originally a knight of the Dawn Knights. He followed Grant in numerous campaigns, earning great merit on the battlefield. After the unification of the Ramos Duchy, Grant granted this land to Marshall.
This region is situated along the northern border of the Ramos Duchy, far from its central areas. Thus, when chaos descended upon the land, this place remained relatively unscathed and continues to maintain a decent level of order to this day.
A few days later, within a forest in Hawk Castle's territory.
Morning.
Thick white mist enveloped the forest, with trees and foliage vaguely visible through the haze. The contours of the forest blurred into an indistinct silhouette.
Occasionally, the sound of a bird's call echoed from an unknown direction—distant and empty.
"Rustle, rustle!"
