Outside the Jura Mountain in Burgundy, Algo County.
The Eagle Castle stands on the mountainside, overlooking the fields and rivers at the mountain's foot.
The Earl's eldest son, wearing a deer leather coat, reached out to open the window. The crisp autumn wind from the Alps immediately rushed in as if it had been waiting, chilling him to the core.
In the distance, towering mountains loomed.
Algo County is located at the junction of the Jura Mountain to the northwest and the Alps to the southeast.
To the south lies Lombardy, a fertile land coveted by emperors through the ages, and to the west, beyond the Jura Mountain, is Lower Burgundy (namely, Provence), while to the north is the Hohenstaufen Family's imperial center, the Duchy of Swabia.
Thus, most of the time, Count Werner is actually serving in the Emperor's court, and he is the true master of this Eagle Castle.
The sound of hoofbeats echoed along the mountain path.
