  • The expedition to the New World and the war there that Alexander describes doesn't interest me.
  • But...
  • Why does the Marquis de Lafayette want to send troops so far away?
  • The nobles in the Palace revel in debauchery without a care for the world.
  • A life we can only dream of.
  • Yet he wants to abandon it all for war... Is he bored?
  • Have the nobles not caused enough suffering?
  • I have seen nobles burn over a thousand candles for one meal.
  • I've watched them fight over mirrors.
  • I thought I'd seen everything...
  • But the Marquis has baffled me...


  • Alexander: Trust me, Alfred. This is an opportunity you don't want to miss!
  • Alfred: I have no interest in throwing my life away on a fool's errand.
  • Alexander: You will be properly compensated! Think about how much you'll get paid!
  • Alfred: Paid?
  • Alexander: Haven't you heard? The Marquis pays his soldiers very well!
  • Alexander: Join his army, and you'll receive a juicy salary every month!
  • Alexander knows me well. This little detail is enough to perk my interest.
  • Alfred: That sounds too good to be true.
  • Alexander: It does, but it is true!
  • Alexander: Think about it, Alfred. How much are you paid now? How much more can you earn?
  • Alfred: You're right... I'll easily earn a year's worth of money in just a month...
  • Alexander: So... I'll take that as a yes?
  • Alfred: The terms are tempting, but you must give me more time to consider...
  • He assumes I'll take up the offer, doesn't he?
  • Alfred: (What kind of person is the Marquis de Lafayette?)
  • Alfred: (Why would he give up his comfortable life and travel across the world to fight a war?)
  • Alfred: (What a strange man. But he sounds more interesting than anyone else in the Palace.)
  • However, I'm aware of the risks. A soldier could lose their life before they have a chance to spend the money.
  • My current life is stable. But...
  • Alfred: I've decided, Alexander.
  • Alexander: Shall we go register together?
  • Alfred: We can go together, but you must register before I do. I want to know if the deal is as good as you say it is.
  • Alexander: ;I figured you'd say that. Come, I'll show you the way.
  • I pay for the drinks and leave with Alexander.
  • Alexander: This way. Hurry.
  • Alfred: Yeah, yeah...
  • Alexander: Looks like we came at a good time. There's no queue.
  • Alfred: Is that really a good thing? It means no one is...
  • I couldn't finish my sentence... A familiar figure approaches...
  • Alfred: (The Marquis de Lafayette...)
  • Lafayette: I recognize you. You are a servant in the Palace of Versailles, aren't you?
  • Alfred: Huh? The Marquis remembers me?
  • Alexander: The Marquis? You know the Marquis de Lafayette?
  • Lafayette: Are you here to register?
  • I nervously nod. My heart throbs excitedly.
  • Lafayette: Follow me. We need to talk before you register.
  • With that, the Marquis turns and walks away.
  • Alexander: What are you waiting for? The Marquis has asked for you! Go!
  • Alfred: (The Marquis wishes to speak to me in private?! I can't...)



  • Alfred: S-sir? I didn't think you would remember me.
  • Lafayette: Relax. I just want to talk...
  • Alfred: W-with someone like me? I... Erm... Yes, please go ahead...
  • Facing a high ranking noble alone has tied my tongue.
  • Lafayette: Regarding that incident... how did you resolve it in the end?
  • Alfred: Oh. I heeded your suggestion and paid for the mirror.
  • His brows are furrowed, and his expression intense. Did I upset him?
  • Lafayette: Is that so? Very well. I have something else to ask.
  • Alfred: Yes?
  • Lafayette: Did the Comtesse treat you poorly after I left?
  • Alfred: (How unexpected. To think the Marquis would be concerned about something like that.)
  • I explain what happened after and the Marquis' expression slowly relaxes.
  • Lafayette: Alright. Now for the most important question.
  • Lafayette: Why are you joining my army?


For the glory

  • Alfred: ...For the glory! I don't want to be a lowly peasant forever!
  • Lafayette: Is that so?
  • Alfred: Yes! I want to be treated with respect! I've had enough of being treated like dirt!
  • I am not being entirely truthful, but I don't want to mention my desire for wealth.
  • Talking about money in front of someone as respectable as the Marquis feels shameless.
  • Lafayette: You can achieve the same recognition by working hard in the Palace. It would just take a few years.
  • Alfred: It will take longer than that...
  • Lafayette: There is nothing glorious about fighting a war. And you have a proper job.
  • Alfred: (I'm not convincing the Marquis.)
  • Lafayette: War is not a game. I hope everyone who signs up has the right motivations.
  • Alfred: Alright. I'm sorry. I'll tell you the truth.


For the money

  • Alfred: What else could a lowly peasant like me look forward to but money?
  • Lafayette: Money? This is a war! People will die!
  • Alfred: I know. But everything is rapidly increasing in price. If I don't make more money soon, I won't be able to afford even bread!
  • Alfred: (I have no choice but to bet my life on this opportunity!)
  • Lafayette: It's that bad? Hmm... But if you work hard in the Palace and secure a promotion...
  • Lafayette: Your pay will increase, your efforts will be recognized, and you'll even have a chance to be exempted from taxes!
  • Alfred: Only if I get promoted in time. I might starve to death before then.
  • Lafayette: Is that so? Then you intend to dedicate your life to this battle?


  • Alfred: I'm a lowly peasant. Lack of money is a death sentence.
  • Alfred: You nobles may find it difficult to understand, but we peasants will gladly give our lives for a chance at a better future.
  • Alfred: New world? A war? I couldn't care less. I only want to put food on the table.
  • Lafayette: I see... Thank you for you honesty. It was enlightening.
  • Alfred: So... Can I sign up?
  • Lafayette: Of course! Though I must say, you have a unique way of resigning from a job.
  • Lafayette: Truly, an interesting servant.
  • Did he just smile at me? I stare dazedly at his handsome face, unable to avert my eyes.
  • Lafayette: !Welcome to the team, Alfred.
