The gods are truly unjust, having bestowed upon a single man all possible gifts at once. Koimaji the Magnificent combined the qualities of a superhuman, as if he were the crown of creation of centuries of evolution. He was invincible — the swings of his heavy sword carved through the flesh of the crater's monsters with such ease that their bodies seemed made of paper. His tactics, strategy, and charisma left the enemy no chance — Deus's subjects always found themselves in the most advantageous positions, fought at the peak of their abilities, and suffered minimal losses. Those who bore the burden of war under his banner had no doubt — this man would lead Tezoth to deliverance from the crater threat and unite the entire continent under the rule of his royal fist. However, fate decreed otherwise, for even the strongest of men was not immune to human treachery. Another battle, the count of which had long been lost, was supposed to add a new mark to the unbroken list of Tezoth's army victories, but for the first time in the long military campaign, something went off plan: the brave Deus's eyes found a sword's tip protruding from his own belly. Turning his head to the side, the monarch was horrified for the first time in his life. - Rumior!.. What... Tezoth... Humanity is one step away from victory!! What can this betrayal possibly give you?!! - From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step, Your Majesty. - Madman! Has the treacherous Ifilla robbed you of your wits?! In response, the Knight of the Crimson Rose laughed. - What's so funny? Answer!! - Your Majesty. To my eyes, there is nothing sweeter than watching one who stands a step from the heavenly gates slip and fall straight into the depths of hell. - You... For this alone you deprived the human race of this rare opportunity?.. Rumior!!! - Alas, envy, the thirst for wealth or glory, or perhaps even love, do not move my heart. I merely wished to see the gleam of the human soul... And it shines brightest at the moment of absolute despair. Following this event, Deus's army fell into panic and was soon destroyed by the crater's monsters, while the Knight of the Crimson Rose and his subordinates used their former comrades as bait, allowing them to leave the battlefield unscathed. |

The Knight of the Sun opened his eyes and returned from his memories of service under Deus back to the year 297. Back then he was a simple warrior, the only one who miraculously survived that day, and today he is a knight — just like that very Crimson Rose.
- How do you manage to spend the whole day in armor? - He glanced at the Knight of the Silent Terror sitting on the neighboring couch. - You could at least take a break from all that extra weight today.
- ...
- You're right, you're right, if it's no hindrance to the Lord of Florenzana, then it shouldn't be to the Knight of Revnland either.
Before the two of them, one of the maidservants was dancing.
- Listen, it seems like such a trivial thing, yet it's still mesmerizing. You could watch it all day.
- ...
- Maybe it's you who should have been given the title of Imperturbability? Or does the Silent Terror in you arise from interacting with people? Hahaha.
