The Margrave's Territory and the Blessing of Blue Water

Herma, an adventurer in the royal capital, decides to leave his party due to his lack of strength. While walking down a night road after leaving the party, he happens to find the pursued Countess's daughter Sophie and ends up helping her. His actions impress Anderson, Sophie's father, and Herma is welcomed to the territory as a son-in-law. However, Sophie is not yet ready to marry, and Herma has reasons why he cannot marry Sophie. The two protest directly to the Count. Listening to their objections, the Count decides to impose a certain trial upon them: to go to a certain territory and restore it. If they accomplish this, the Count promises to set them free. The two take on the trial, but that territory is not merely a rural region—it is a cursed land that the Count has given up on. *Also posting under the same name on "Hamerunn"
