Part 3/8:
Struggles and Bonds
Yamada's narrative takes a crucial turn when he suffers injuries during an encounter with masked soldiers. He is rescued by special guards and awakened by a local girl, Croan, leading him to a newfound home far from his village. This city is one where he finds kindness, slowly but surely integrating himself into the fabric of Auta.
In a parallel subplot, the villagers prepare for an upcoming election to select the king's royal guards, supervised by King Nan himself. A trusted commander named Sua showcases impressive martial prowess, inspiring others to train harder amid the looming threats from the Hong army.
