Reimian Empire

-- Oh... You must be hungry... We have some rice.

— I am humbly grateful for your attention, but I must decline this kind offer. The wizard who captured me did not want me to starve while I was in this icy prison, so I am not hungry.

- No need, - Aiyano replied with a slight nod. - Allow me to learn your name and the story behind your imprisonment in this wretched place.

— I am Yachiru Hakumei, — the Nihonese woman introduced herself in the manner familiar to Aiyano and Tsukiko, — I was part of a trade caravan traveling from Nihon to the Rhemic Empire. Since relations between our countries are very tense, it was very difficult for us to do this, but we understood that trade between these two countries would bring wealth and prosperity to both nations, so we made every effort to make our dream come true. In many cities of the empire, we were not greeted very warmly, but no one dared to harm our goods or lives, so in general, everything went well. Sometimes we even came across rare connoisseurs of Nihonese culture who greeted us with great hospitality. But everything changed on that fateful day when we arrived in Rheims, the capital of the empire. We had the opportunity to meet Emperor Reisen Rheims himself. Our first impression of him was very good, but we didn't even suspect that behind his benevolent smile were malicious intentions. The emperor, as it turned out later, did not like traveling merchants, and he had a great... fondness for my humble person. I don't want to go into details, I will only say that all the members of my caravan were executed in a not very painless way, and I... I had a different fate, which I would not like to remember.
