Prologue – A Story of One Day

In the Nine Provinces under Heaven, armed warriors are as common as grass.

This is truly the age of the sword.

Righteousness and chivalry.

Some took up the sword for noble values.

Pleasure and passion. Wealth and fame.

Others wielded their blades for personal gain.

The girl’s eyes fixed upon the grand gate.

The Sama Heretical Sect, which had grown powerful amidst the chaos.

Their magnificent estate, built on the blood and sweat of others.

But that was none of her concern.

The girl does not yet know what righteousness and chivalry mean.

The girl has no desire for wealth and glory.

Nevertheless, she drew her sword and cried out.

“Go and tell Gusa Hyeolgun Dan Joyang.”

To avenge a grudge.

To understand righteousness and chivalry.

“The Sword Empress has arrived.”

The girl, Yu Jeong, called herself by her master’s title.
