Before the Federation

[Age 38: You returned to Xikailan once more, found your wife and son, and encountered the people your companion had sent to hunt you down. Fortunately, they did not dare attack you under the Northern Border Queen's nose.

Xikailan had no Inner City or Outer City, but there were districts closer to the royal palace. For the safety of your wife and child, you spent all the gold you had brought back and bought a house in the residential district beside the palace. Using an alias, you found work nearby as a garden keeper.]

[Age 39: The garden where you worked was the garden in Xikailan's city center, known as Hain Garden. At the center of the garden stood a statue of a young knight in heavy knight's armor, with features somewhat different from those of the people of the continent.

It was said that this Knight Hain had been the Northern Border Queen's close friend, and had once saved the Northern Border Kingdom from peril together with her, so the queen had built this public garden to commemorate him.

Your task was simple as well: prevent thieves from stealing the flowers in the garden, and maintain order there.

On certain early mornings, you could also see the Northern Border Queen standing before the statue, lost in thought.]
