Approximately 25 years ago, Drizen Vollachia had 67 children including Prisca Benedict and Vincent Abellux who were sent throughout the country to participate in the new Emperor Selection Ceremony. Vincent won the ceremony and became the 77th emperor of the Vollachia Empire. Six months before the start of the story, Reinhard van Astrea, Julius Juukulius, and Ferris escorted Miklotov McMahon and Bordeaux Zellgef on a diplomatic mission to Rupgana, the capital of the Vollachia Empire. There, they met His Majesty Vincent Vollachia in the Crystal Palace but had to flee to a nearby forest after an unfortunate incident. Following their battle with the Divine Generals who were trying to retrieve the Emperor, the group discovered that their pursuers were after Vincent's life. They successfully defeated Balleroy Temeglyph and Gramdart Holstoy, securing a non-aggression treaty. On their return journey, they concluded that Vincent was responsible for orchestrating the entire coup in order to create a situation where he would be "forced" to sign the pact with the Kingdom of Lugnica.
