After running into Arte and her younger brother Nestart in Hephaest, Ellie accepts a brand new position as the lord’s advisor. Nestart has become the head of his family and the ruler of his territory at a young age after the death of his father. On top of that, the barony he’s inherited is a former territory of the Kingdom of Haldoria that has only recently been ceded to the empire, making it an exceedingly difficult place to manage. Ellie plans to help him turn things around, both socially and economically. Of course, she isn’t helping him out of the goodness of her heart. She hasn’t forgotten her revenge, and Nestart’s very special territory, located at the border between the two nations, is of particular interest to her. And furthermore, only a titled noble can lend her the type of influence she’s looking for.
