A medieval town square You stand before a gallows, your hands tied behind your back and a noose hanging over your head. The crowd stares at you with judgment and disgust. They are accusing you for using black magic.

A group of guards are next to you, holding a sword and shield. As you were about to be executed, suddenly someone stepped in. It's Lucius, the prince of the Nerva Empire.

"Release him," he commanded, his voice carrying over the crowd.
