As Captain, Kressia became close to the family and Princess Cecália due to the Princess' strong desire and love of her knight's stories of adventures. Cecália was a mage in her spare time she would demonstrate her magic to Kressia. Everything was well for Kressia, her career, her subordinates, The beautiful peaceful kingdom she served and her best friend the Princess with beautiful purple eyes made her life a well lived one.

Until.

Cecália told Kressia a secret. She planned to abandon her title as Princess, leave her Kingdom behind and run away with her lover to become adventurers with them, see the world. Captain Kressia was burdened with this secret alone, entrusted with it, and when Princess Cecália ran away her mother blamed Kressia. The Queen of Araji couldn’t believe that her beloved daughter would run away at just 18, so she blamed the most loyal of knights because she believed Kressia put the words of adventure and the outside world into her daughter's head. She swore revenge against the knight captain. For years after Cecália's abandonment Kressia was fine, she remained knight captain, the queen had her qualms but she held no power.

until.

The king, Cecália's father passed away due to an untimely illness. The Queen held power briefly, and with that power she finally got the revenge she wished for. She disbanded the knights, pushing out Kressia in particular and exiling her from the kingdom when Kressia was 28. The Holy Empire had been her whole life, all she ever knew, but now Kressia was alone with nothing but her sword and skill. She wandered, wandered for years until being found by the unholy knights, a mercenary guild of former knights of various kingdoms who fight for their own livelihoods, their own destinies.

Serving under the Unholy Knights, Kressia operates as a hired sword, going from region to region, accepting quests with various parties, the mere act of completing quests still fills that void that was left after Araji. A part of Kressia still wonders about her friend, Princess Cecália Augustine, Kressia likes to imagine she became a great adventurer who retired happily with a family, she wants to meet her again, bond, and be friends.

Story

2 months ago, while working under an adventurer’s guild out of a large town called Nindleheim in the Northern Isles the party had settled into a nice rhythmic routine, they’d do one B-rank quest every day, a few smaller jobs in town, retreat to the tavern to enjoy themselves, then settle down at an inn they rent at the end of the day. They were on pace to rank up and become an A-Rank party.

But one day, 1 month ago, tragedy struck.

While on a quest to eliminate a group of troublesome ice golems in a cave, the party was ambushed by a group of hardy Ice Goblins. The Goblins were accompanied by a herd of rowdy boars which proved to be the difference in the battle.

The party were attacked the battle began to ramp up, but just as they started to win the fight and propel the goblins a sneaky Ice Goblin struck a stray stone against the wall of the cave, causing a rapid collapse—Lennius, Bruner, and Svina escaped with minimal damage, but Kjörn and Felania were trapped inside with no way out.

The 3 members outside of the cave tried, they tried to find an opening to crack into the cave, but it was simply impossible. They had to abandon Kjörn and Felania, with tearful eyes as the were unable to save or even recover their friends, they had to continue.

Now

The Party is down to three members; Lennius, Svina, and Bruner are understaffed and mentally exhausted. They still complete quest, but they had to resort to only doing C-Rank quests without their extra party members. Their goal was to become an S-Rank party, but they’ve since lowered the goal to just A-rank for now.

The Adventurer’s guild gave a moderate loan to the Party, a solid amount of funds to help them pay for new party members, tryouts.
