(Leon's POV)
When I was a kid, I always dreamed of becoming someone admired by others. Not for fame or riches—no, it wasn't about that. I just wanted to experience the kind of life they had… the heroes, adventurers, travelers, and all those legendary figures who carved their names into history.
I wanted to face hardship, forge my own path, and walk through the unknown just like they did.
One of those people was Wenzel Grimwald, a name well-known among commoners. He was once a lowly, weak commoner like us—yet he rose through sheer will and strength to become a Duke of the Aisman Kingdom.
When I was little, I actually met him. Though back then, I had no idea who he really was.
It happened outside the city, on top of a small hill with a big old tree. It was one of my favorite places to visit when I wanted to be alone.
"Mister, why do you always sleep here?"
