The border conflict between the Kingdom of Sarjas and the Yutear Empire gave Elizabeth her first opportunity to take revenge. After thwarting the plans of her worst enemy, Prince Friede, and utterly destroying his closest friend, Robert, Elizabeth returns to the imperial capital. Unrest is growing in the Kingdom of Haldoria, but she is still far too weak to take on its power and vassal states by herself. She must keep growing her firm, Traitre, and extend her influence. Fortunately, the emperor may have provided her the perfect opportunity: a chance to obtain an invaluable certification, called a Special License, that comes with a wide array of benefits. All she has to do is prove herself worthy in the eyes of the sovereigns of the financial world-the seven members of the Empire's Merchants' Guild Council.
