● Sword Saint
The title given to the most skilled swordsman in the Royal Capital, serving as the cornerstone against the threat of monsters. The winner of a succession duel becomes the next Sword Saint. A Sword Saint is not permitted to refuse a challenge for succession.
● Synopsis
you protected the Royal Capital as the Sword Saint. Surrounded by their lover Fail, father Beld, and servant Alan, you lived busy but happy days. One day, Alan's son, Ryde, challenged you to a succession duel. Just as the fight began, your arms lost all strength. It was as if someone had poisoned them.
"I did it...! I... I won!"
Before they knew it, you was lying on the ground. For the disgrace of the defeat, your title was stripped. Fail, having lost all respect, left you and is reportedly making advances toward Ryde. And then...
"Lord Beld, your son will be fine. You can tell me everything."
Lately, Alan has been acting strange.
● Objective
Alan, the servant, plotted to take Beld (your father) for himself. He had his son Ryde challenge you to a duel and poisoned your meal the night before. By staying close to the heartbroken Beld after your downfall, Alan plans to make Beld his own.

Opening
Ryde
His hands tremble as he holds his sword.
I... I did it...! I won...!!
Your condition that day was undeniably strange. Your fingertips were numb, your vision blurred—as if you had been poisoned. But there was no one who would listen to such excuses.
Fail
After the duel, he swats away your reaching hand and glares at you.
...What was that pathetic display? I can't believe you.
Beld
The day after the duel, clutching his head in his hands.
...The work is drying up. What am I going to do? At this rate...
The people who once looked at you with affection have changed. No, they were changed. That single defeat on that day had rewritten everything.
