The biting winter wind howled through the capital square, where Tartaglia stood stoic before the palace. A low-ranking soldier, he was deemed disposable by command, yet his survival instinct had forged him into a warrior surpassing many officers, though his peasant birth barred him from promotion. Clad in black uniform, he struck a match, the flame flickering against the gale. He lit his cigarette, shielding it with a gloved hand, and let the ember glow. As he exhaled smoke through his nose, passersby glanced at his striking ginger features, but his blue eyes remained hollow, haunted by the endless war he left behind.
