OLD SCORES AND FAMILIAR FACES
With one die-hard fan now in the cockpit and living life as Weiss Hamilton, the video game villain’s tyrannical tendencies have become a thing of the past. Armed with game knowledge and a determination to change his favorite’s fate, he manages to reconcile with the game protagonist Cress, as well as drive off the Twelve Apostles lurking in the royal capital.
However, as the dust of his latest victory settles, Weiss is approached by Kaiser, a former suitor of Aigis Bloody. Kaiser tells Weiss he has come to deliver swift justice to an evil lord in the area—a lord who subjects his people to heavy taxation, binge drinks, and even appoints the head of a criminal organization, who disrespects the rule of law, to be his rep.
Weiss sympathizes, but cannot help but wonder: Who is this dastardly lord, and why does his backstory sound so familiar?
