　This is how the Memento Wars, or Valkyrie Wars, began.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Originally, there were historical nobles who followed the royal family of Dorren near the royal city of Dorren, and the territory ruled by these nobles was called the royal city area.

　And originally, the nobles who owned the golden hen were also in the royal city area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The golden hens were taken out of the noble families when the Memento family occupied the capital, but not all of them were taken away from them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The golden hen was kept by the noble family after that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, there were many eggs of the beast of burden stored there.

　And then came the information.

　If you have a Valkyrie, a messenger beast without horns, and a messenger beast egg, you can have the strongest and the best power.

　The nobleman who got this information did it immediately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that he was very quick in his decision.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, that may be so.

　Originally, before the Fontana Confederacy was established, the metropolitan area always had to be defended by the Hereditary Nobility, or some other great nobles from other lands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was inevitable, but must have been frustrating.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is hard to have to ask for help from others to protect themselves, their properties, and their lands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Both in terms of feelings and as a practical matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why they have wanted to have the power to protect themselves for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And now we have the opportunity to finally have that power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seems that the head of the noble family was a loyalist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When they mass-produced the Valkyries from the eggs of the beast messengers in their custody, they gave nearly half of them to the royal family of Doren.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's just as well that they did not leave the royal family for a historic length of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, when you have overwhelming power, you would want to monopolize it, wouldn't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, no matter how much the royal family of Doren lost power, they never left the royal city area and remained by the side of the royal family, showing their loyalty at this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And at the same time, they seem to have stopped the distribution of the eggs of the beast of burden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The golden hen that lays the eggs of the messenger was originally the exclusive property of the noble family, and the eggs produced by the golden hen were sold by that noble family to the whole country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This has not changed even after golden hens were raised by the Memento family and the Kingdom of the Sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, most of the eggs in the market came from the noble families.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if they continued to do so, it would be meaningless to start the mass production of Valkyries after the Memento family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, they decided to stop selling the eggs and to increase the number of Valkyries with the eggs they have and use them only to protect their own house and the royal family of Doren.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The royal family of Doren must have been pleased with this action.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But on the other hand, they might have been confused.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because, of course, they were.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, the Memento family has been invading everywhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the Valkyries in their possession, the Dorians needed to save their own people who were being attacked by the Mementos, and they had the power to do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They have the power to do so. They cannot choose not to help their men and not to move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they do so, they will lose the house that followed the House of Doren, not the House of Fontana, even though the framework of the United Kingdom of Fontana has been established.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Memento family would be attacked, cut off, or even defected and gone to Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To prevent this, the Dorians had to fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But deep down, the Dorians may have been unwilling to fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because they don't seem to be strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　King Doren, the first king, was strong, but there is no offensive magic in the Doren royal family now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only magic they have is to make salt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With such magic, it is no wonder that they do not want to fight against the Memento family, who has a "tornado" that can blow down the entire castle walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And this did not change even with the Valkyries in their arsenal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, even with the power of the Valkyries, the royal family of Doren, who were not used to war, did not want to choose to fight by themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then what would they do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let their men fight instead of themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Originally, the royal house of Dorren did not fight, but formed an alliance with the strongest nobles and called themselves the Hegemony nobles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the end, all they had to do was to rely on others as usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The royal family of Dorren distributed the offered Valkyries to several noble families under their control.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were to protect themselves with the power of the Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But of course the most important thing is themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though Valkyries were distributed, the number of Valkyries per noble family was not so large.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A small number of Valkyries were deployed to each noble family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, they are a valuable force, but they are far outnumbered by the attacking Memento families.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, each noble family tried to increase the number of Valkyries themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the eggs of the beast of burden were already hard to obtain at that time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may be similar to the current trend of grimoires in small nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The eggs of the messenger beasts were traded at very high prices, and there were even some fakes that resembled the eggs of other animals only in the surface pattern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even the fakes were traded at high prices.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although the hatching period is shorter than that of Valkyries, it still takes several months to hatch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if a fake egg is caught, it is difficult to find the culprit because of the delay in noticing it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, fake eggs were rampant, and some people made a killing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Memento family, which had already secured a number of Valkyries, continued to win for a while, but sometimes their attacks were blocked by deployed Valkyries and counterattacks were made.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there were those who did not find this amusing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Following the Memento family, the Kingdom of Resolute, located in the southern part of the Doren Kingdom, did not like the expansion of the Valkyries that spread throughout the Doren Kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Kingdom of Rizzolute, which at that time had not yet been attacked to any great extent, felt threatened by the increasingly armed surrounding forces and intervened in the war.
