What happens if Napoleon Bonaparte is resurrected in a fantasy world to save a whole continent from a Demon Lord?
A moment after his death, the former ruler of Europe receives a visit from the mysterious Faucheur, who proposes him to reborn in anoth...
Again the boy tried to resist, but this time his spirit was broken much faster.
"The blood of our fallen brothers... will be repaid... by that of the usurper... and of all the traitors who sold themselves to him... and to his lies..."
Hearing these last words, even Adrian could not hide his terror.
Therefore, the Warriors of Eirinn aimed to strike not only Daemon, but also those who in one way or another supported him, and perhaps had benefited from the new order.
Performing an attack during that evening's grand ball at the palace, amidst exceptional security measures, would have been foolish, so Adrian could think of only one place where all the nobles and officials who had gone over to Daemon's side would be present that day.
"Curse! Go, quickly!"

One of the most anticipated events of that day was the staging of "The Boastful Nobleman", an opera in three acts that inaugurated the new National Theater in the heart of the city.
For many centuries all the largest theatrical performances organized by the Montgomery family for the consumption of their noble guests had been held in the palace amphitheater; the people had to make with the wooden stages and tents of traveling companies.
However, things had changed with Daemon; reiterating his belief that everyone should have equal access to culture, he had confiscated the villa of a nobleman who fled during the war and transformed it into a large indoor theater.
Here he had set up various rows of seats, five floors of boxes reserved for the nobles and in the center a large box of honor for him and his companions.
Erthea had never seen a theater of that kind before; those who had been able to attend the rehearsals of the show said that the structure was simply perfect and capable of enhancing everything, from the lights to the sound.
When Daemon and his companions arrived, almost everyone had already taken their seats, and despite an attempt to create as many seats as possible, many people, especially in the audience, had to remain standing.
Unfortunately, precisely because of the large number of people crowded inside and outside the building, it was impossible for the guards to keep everything under control, and this had allowed a small group of suspicious people to mix in with the crowd pulling a cart.
"We brought wine for the after-show party." their leader said to the soldiers who guarded access to the underground
"We weren't told anything."
"It was a last minute decision. Order of the noble Daemon. If you want, you can talk to him about it."
Just one second of hesitation from the three guards was enough for the intruders to jump on them and cut their throats.
