Hans, what is your current location?
Lin
...I see. You're making good progress so far.
Lin
By the way, I've taken the trouble of gathering information...
Lin
...on the empress linked to this rumored treasure!
Lin
Actually, it's more just like I asked Rhynt what he knew about her.
Lin
So, before the great war with the gods even happened...
Lin
...there was a young woman who ruled over this land.
Lin
Her country was in the brink of ruin...
Lin
...but after her coronation, she was able to rebuild it in a very short time.
Lin
It is said that afterwards, she passed away while she was still quite young.
Lin
Her greatness is widely recognized by all historians, but...
Lin
...on the other hand, she would banish anyone who opposed her policies, would ignore any voice which contradicted her political views...
Lin
...and ruled with an iron fist.
Lin
Looking at her from our current perspective...
Lin
...she was a very cold-blooded monarch.
Lin
That's all that can be said.
Lin
However, according to Rhynt...
Lin
...she may be called cold-blooded, but...
Lin
...most of her political actions were logical decisions.
Lin
So, about this bad reputation she has managed to obtain...
Lin
...it's not like it's hard to understand why people from this era would feel that way about her.
Lin
However, Rhynt says that for the people of the present to bring such rumors into our own era is wrong.
Lin
He doesn't think that we should be able to judge the true personality of those who lived in the distant past based on rumors alone.
Lin
That about sums it up, I guess.
Lin
There are also rumors which say...
Lin
...that she was in love before she was crowned empress.
Lin
However, the knight rumored to be her lover...
Lin
...perished before she took over the throne.
Lin
But the authenticity of this story has yet to be proven.
Lin
Therefore, many historians don't even give it a second look...
