1 Prologue

When opportunity arises seize them. That's the basic principle of merchant, both magical and good trader. Asteryx kingdom ruled by the righteous king Pleiades and the ever merciful queen Fira since 930 Vion. The late hero Vion who slay the demon Lord millennia ago has disappeared along with his legendary weapon, the twin gun Priscilla. For his deed in his lifetime the Gihera continent has named this age after him, this is the age of Vion where the story of new hero began.

-945 Vion-

Just like always this village is really pretty. With flowing river from Thive mountain and good crop of high quality wheat. With this kind of scenery it makes me wonder how someone could just burn this village. I was 5 years old when it happen and when I woke up my parent has died leaving me no fortune. A couple decide to adopt me and make me their stepson.

"What are you doing Prire, looking from the window?"

My name is Praire and that is my step-parent biological son Artegis.

"I'm looking at that richman with golden watch in his pocket. I bet 2 Cooper that watch will get stolen"

"If you know that then why don't you tell him"

"Listen Artegis that man who awfully looks like noble must have shit noble moral code"

"But, moral code is need by society since it's what make us know what is right and wrong"

"That's the basic idea before the Noble bastarise it and make discriminating law against a commoner like us"

"So you will let this evil happen because of that. Two wrong doesn't make right"

"well if you want to stop evil then why don't you tell that guy"

"That's a good idea"

"Hey wait.."

Artegis open the window and leap from it. He land with strange pose and immediately chase after that man with gold watch.

"Excuse me sir, you should not put that gold watch in plain sight since it may get stolen"

The Noble man turn his head and he has suspicious looks in his eyes. His face turn sour and then followed by scream "Thief!!"

The neighbor doesn't really care since Noble getting their good stolen is everyday occurrence but the city guard is another story. Immediately they march with obligatory national song and their clanking chainmail. Of course the noble exaggerated his story and Artegis can only be dumbfounded when the noble tell false truth.

"What are you waiting for execute him!"

"Sorry sir but sir we can't do that."

"And why not" He said with annoyed face

"First the court must declare the man guilty and only after that if the crime is proven heavy may he be execute by executioner in public"

"Give me your sword I'll kill that vermin myself"

"But sir according to the law-"

"You dare!! Do you know who I'm. If I want I could buy your family and sell them as slave in the worst section of red district"

"Please sir have mercy on my family"

"Then give me your sword"

"At least let me close my eyes"

The guard who doesn't have any choice gave him the guard's iron sword. Maybe the closing eye was a representation of blind justice but I can't let him kill my brother.

Without a second thought I run to the front of my brother and kneel immediately while making begging hand pose.

"Please sir don't kill my brother. He is the only family I have. Please have mercy."

"But we're not orphan" said the dumb Artegis

"Quiet you."

The Noble dirtied his shoe in mud and said

"If you clean my shoes with tongue maybe I will consider forgiving your brother"

"Don't listen to him Priere. You need to show the spirit of commoner."

The guard put his hand in Artegis mouth to shut him up. Smart move if he speaks more we might be in deeper problem. And just like that I cast away my pride and clean the shoe. Embarrassing maybe but I will do anything to save my brother live. I will not lost another member of my family!!
