Ikta succeeds in a daring plan to cross the Kioka border and return the princess home.  But this means he gets a reward, and his reward is the title of Imperial Knight.  Now he finds himself dragged into a war he hates, serving a government that doesn't want to win, and despising the princess he rescued.

لكن سامحيني
Bitte verzeiht mir.
Pero lo siento,
Pero lo siento,
Pardonnez-nous.
Però, spero mi perdonerete.
Mas me perdoe.
Но простите меня…
