Theme:Fantasy/Romance/Humor/Drama
Premise:Hildegarde's term at the Academy of Practical Arts has ended and she returns to the kingdom of Meria. Devastated by her leave, Siegfried, who hasn't confessed her feelings for her (or confirmed if she felt the same), decided to follow her right away. He secured a researcher job in order to have access in the castle and be close to Hildegarde as much as possible.
One night, they managed to confess feelings to each other and the only thing stopping them from being together is Hildegarde's remaining obligation to serve the army (two years left). According to Merian law, it is forbidden for anyone serving the army to marry for practical reasons.
Endings:
•4 Endings (2 Bad Endings, 1 Good Ending, 1
Best Ending)
Characters-Image Coming Soon-Siegfried EmeryAge: 20
The only son of the Academy of Practical Arts headmistress. Socially-awkward but his studious attitude seems to be compensating for it. Also a talented magic self-practitioner. Tends to sound like a jerk most of the time because of his awkward social skills. Often teased all the time as a momma's boy back in the academy.
Hildegarde's appearanceHildegardeAge: 18
An orphaned girl who was brought up by a high ranking military officer longing for a child. Hildegarde had shown interest in the royal army at a young age and soon followed her stepmother. She enrolled in the Academy of Practical Arts for a year as a requirement for rank promotion.Her forte is using light halberds.
She often sounds reserved and serious when she talks but has a short temper though she doesn't show it that much.
