Many centuries ago, dragons were worshipped. People considered them as gods who had come down to earth to help and protect weak people. People made offerings to them. In return, dragons helped with farming, prevented droughts and crop failures, and provided warmth with their breath on cold days. Humans and dragons coexisted peacefully for many years, but unfortunately, good things cannot last forever... 

The Thousand Year Winter began, so cold and harsh that even the dragons with their fiery breath froze to death. The humans realized that sooner or later the dragons would kill them all to survive, so they decided to get ahead of them. The dragon hunt began. Many humans died in those years, but even more dragons were killed. As the years passed, the humans became more and more bloodthirsty, and the fear of the dragons grew at an unprecedented rate.  As a result, not a single dragon remained in the once-sacred land...

Wriothesley became an orphan after his parents passed away due to illness. To survive, he resorted to stealing, killing, and "adapting to circumstances".  This helped him get to where he is now - the commander of the army of the Northern Kingdom. Wriothesley has earned this title. When he was sent to war, he always returned victorious. Whenever a rebellion occurred, it never lasted more than three days. When he was sent on an errand, he always completed it. Wriothesley did not ask unnecessary questions, the king's word was law for him.

Therefore, when the king turned to him again, Wrio was surprised to learn that it wasn't for war or a rebellion, but for hunting.
