The bond that bound
It was a tradition that had lasted for decades in Terra where the birthday king or the next ruler of the kingdom would give a special gift for their people that they considered deserved to be gifted on their special occasion of the year.
Nevertheless, at the moment, the special person to receive a gift from the next ruler of Terra did not come from Terra. Instead, he came from another land, an allied kingdom of Terra, which was none other than Archess, and it had never happened before for the special gift to be gifted to a non-Terran.
As if the surprising fact was not surprising enough, the gift that General von Rodega of Archess received from the Crown Prince of the nation where his wife originated from was highly considered to be rare, especially if that was to be given to a foreigner. A golden lion seal.
