Jeanne
Original Universe.
Outside the Milky Way, countless light-years away from our Solar System.
A massive interstellar fleet hovered above a giant star.
Several colossal, spiderweb-like technological structures covered the entire outer perimeter of the star, gradually absorbing its energy and causing it to dim at a visible rate.
At the center of the fleet stands a circular clock building the size of a planet.
At the very top of the Clock Planet stands an extremely tall and magnificent building that almost juts out of the entire Clock Celestial Body, forming an antenna-like shape.
On the top floor of the antenna building, inside a rigorous exploration hall filled with a technological atmosphere.
A group of intelligent beings, dressed in white coats and military uniforms, bustled about in the brightly lit hall.
The constant beeping of electronic beeps filled the air.
At the very front of the hall, on a high platform resembling a ship's bridge.
Through the transparent wall ahead, there was an endless Star Sea.
A tall, middle-aged man with three prominent eyes stood on the ship's platform, his gaze deep and distant.
At this moment, a young female officer from the Three-Eyed Race walked up behind him and said excitedly.
"Reporting to the Supreme Commander, the Clock Celestial Body has once again detected a super-spacetime anomaly and re-anchored its position in this universe's spacetime."
"Is it that superspace anomaly that suddenly disappeared before?"
"Yes!"
How long is it from where we are now?!
"About several thousand years ago!"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then spoke decisively.
"Very good! Continue in that direction!"
We still have time!
The words were spoken, and the order was conveyed.
The massive interstellar fleet slowly turned around and headed towards the Solar System system.
Astral Realm.
Feland World.
North Continent.
This time, the Hasoladi Kingdom mobilized its entire army to attack the Lionheart Kingdom from the south. With the help of the Nightmare Knight Order from the Underworld, they routed the three legions that the Lionheart Family had deployed on the northern defense line, advancing with unstoppable momentum!
The elite Knight order of the Lionheart Kingdom Golden Lion Knight Order, was also defeated by the Nightmare Knight Order during the Hasoladi Kingdom's southward expedition, suffering heavy casualties.
In the North of the Lionheart Kingdom, within the Oulick County, which was recently breached and occupied.
In a burned-down village, a disheveled blonde girl crawls out from the ruins and collapsed haystacks.
Her face was stubborn, and she displayed a maturity beyond her years.
Even the strongest little girl couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw her loved ones lying on the ground, covered in blood and scorch marks.
"Father... Mother... Grandpa Village Chief... Everyone..."
"Waaaaah..."
Just then...
An old Knight stumbled into the ruins of the village from Village.
He had blond hair and purple eyes, his head was lowered, and his unkempt hair hung down, obscuring his aged face.
The old Knight had lost his entire left arm, had a large scar on his face, and his armor was full of dents and marks of war, but his back was unconsciously straight!
He continued walking in a daze until he heard the sad cries of a little girl ahead. Only then did he stop his staggering steps, raise his head, and look ahead!
"A girl who lost her home and parents..."
He murmured to himself, intending to ignore it and leave.
But soon, he stopped in his tracks.
He sighed.
"I am Knight of the Kingdom. These calamities are all due to my defeat. Now that I have witnessed them, I cannot stand idly by..."
He shook his head and walked towards the little girl.
The sound of footsteps startled the blonde girl, who jumped up on the spot like a frightened rabbit.
She only lowered her guard when she saw the Kingdom's insignia on the old Knight's armor and cloak.
"Poor child, do not be afraid. I am a Knight of the Kingdom and will not harm Kingdom people."
The old Knight walked up to the girl, looked around at the ruins still burning with flames, and said bitterly.
"These tragic scenes are all due to our defeat. We are so sorry."
The blonde little girl listened without saying a word.
"Come with me, child, I'll take you to a safe place. It's too dangerous here."
The old Knight finished speaking to himself, then looked at the little girl and said...
At this moment, the little girl who had been silent suddenly spoke up.
"You can leave, old man. I'm not leaving. I'm staying here for revenge!"
"Revenge?!"
Upon hearing this, the old Knight looked into the little girl's eyes in surprise, discovering her incredibly determined gaze and the indomitable will and the flames of revenge that emanated from it.
"Steadfast! Resilient! Fiery! This is a promising Knight!"
So he asked.
"Child, what's your name?!"
My name is Jeanne.
The little girl spoke.
The old Knight listened, stood there pondering for a while, and seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"Alright then, Jeanne, you have no parents, and I have no face to go home. Come with me, I'll teach you skills, and you can take revenge yourself in the future."
"How about it?"
"I'll go with you, grandpa."
"I will definitely take my revenge!"
