He met a girl with red hair and crimson eyes when he was reassigned to the northern borders.

Also known as Altina.

As her mother was a commoner, she was alienated in the palace and was sent to be the border as a commander at the age of fourteen. Though she was not upset about this, she wanted to change the empire because of the citizens who were suffering.

"I need your wisdom if I am to be empress."

February, the Second Prince, Latreille, who controlled the military, gave an impossible order.

to seize fort Volks of Varden Republic and the Germanian federation.

It was simply suicidal to attack the impregnable fortress with such an inferior force.

However, Regis used a stratagem that he once read and guided Altinas army to victory.

April, Altina was to return to the capital Versailles

Although Regis who was with her was excited about seeing the palace in which was the stage in numerous stories, he did not have time to go sight-seeing.

While Regis was fooled by them initially, he broke through the situation after seeing through the Latreille and Augustes plans.

After gaining the cooperation of the New Noble Eleanor, the First Prince Auguste gave up his inheritance rights and expressed his support for Altina to ascend the throne. This resulted in Altina becoming a strong candidate for being the empress.
