Farland Saga I Saturn TributeWhat Will the Boy Witness at the End of Battle?
On the remote island of Entrich, far from the mainland, three nations have maintained a fragile balance: the military superpower Yohk, the agricultural kingdom Barth, and Thulk, an independent state led by demons.
Leon and Ralph, who lost their parents in a great war, were raised by the knight Brian and have since grown into skilled warriors.
One day, they attend a trilateral peace ceremony in Barth, only to find themselves caught up in a catastrophic incident that shatters the fragile relations between the three nations.
Branded as traitors, they flee alongside an innocent princess accused of a crime she did not commit.
Thus begins an escape that will ultimately decide the fate of the world.
