A young man training everyday to be the local feudal lord. He earnestly tries to fulfill his duties . He has a strong sense of justice and deeply resents the decisions of the emperor. He lost his parents when he was young, and his little sister Licorice also disappeared.

He currently lives with Maiya, who is a superior maid who also functions as his educator. Ares participates in a vigilance committee, keeps an eye on his city, polishes his skills as a lord, and learns military strategies from the mysterious female swordswoman Towa. When doing inspections, he always keeps an eye out for Licorice.

Ares’ military teacher. She is a mysterious woman who encountered Ares’ group while wondering through his territory. Unselfish and seemingly disinterested in most things. She is very hard for most people to get. She speaks very directly and does not engage idle chatter, and her speech is very masculine. Sometimes a wise proverb is mixed in.

Towa is known as a legendary undefeated military strategist who has participated in many conflicts across the continent. She dislikes showy things. She came across Ares by chance while the vigilance corps were defeating bandits. She intervened and gave them advice during the battle, and ended up becoming Ares’ military teacher as a result.

She has many duties allocating work to different divisions of the splendid army and works as a financial sponsor for them. The motto of her house is that “The country, your House, and Women All Must Be Protected”. Rozalia trained hard as a successor to carry on this standard.

In order to accomplish the jobs she has as prime minister, she hides her true feelings behind pleasant smiles. As a humanist, she’s rational. However, she can be cold when carrying out judgment on behalf of the country.

She’s regarded as a very competent politician within the empire. She was also born into a noble house. While her parents were conducting an inspection of territory occupied by the empire, a sudden attack by insurgents cost both of them their lives.

While she was still young, her parents visited territory occupied by the empire. A sudden attack by insurgents killed both her parents, causing her and her sister to vow revenge. While her sister works as a politician, she labors as a commander. It is uncertain what the future holds for this woman burning with the fire of revenge.

She is the right-hand woman of prime minister Florentina, and gathers intelligence for the prime minister in addition to other tasks. She’s rather innocent for a ninja, and gallantly uses ninja techniques once she is dragged into battle.

During the confusion of civil war, she saved Florentina’s life. After that, Florentina asked Tsubame to lend her strength, and the two have worked together since. Florentina has great confidence in her, and trusts her warnings. Because of their situation, It’ll be some time before the two can discuss trifles.

Tsubame loves onigiri (riceballs).
