Lord Alistair Emberhart, accept congratulations—you’ve succeeded. You defended your independence, protected your domain, and gained freedom and recognition! The whole world is open before you, and your loving wife is preparing to give you an heir. However, Japan is engulfed in the fires of war, its integrity is threatened, and men are hunting you, dear sir. The stakes have now evened out: you, too, are a hunter. On the line is the name Emberhart—the one thing you don’t want to part with. And besides that? You’ll have to play the pawn in another game. You hate something like this, don’t you? But what will you feel, dear sir, when you learn that the player is also you? Yet, Lord Alistair Emberhart, you don’t know how to retreat. Your path continues. Whose heads will it be paved with this time?
