The Testament of the Hostage Young Lady

The Emiel Kingdom had long suffered under an empire that sought to bring surrounding nations under its control. To protect the kingdom from that empire, Elenoa Meridian—the fiancée of the first prince Richard and the daughter of one of the kingdom's most powerful dukes—was handed over to the empire as a hostage. However, this situation changed drastically when surrounding nations began forming an allied army to overthrow the empire. A chance to defeat the empire. Yet the Emiel Kingdom, bound by Elenoa's captivity as a hostage, could not make a move. Troubled by this, Elenoa managed to escape her place of confinement by evading her guards and threw herself from a cliff. As a result, freed from the burden of having a hostage, the Emiel Kingdom joined the allied forces and successfully defeated the empire. Shortly after that, it happened. A soldier from the allied army who was investigating Elenoa's place of confinement discovered her suicide note.
