The fictional states of Eurota and Deiden are immersed in a very real war. The front lines are trenched, soldiers are dying, and grueling battles are being fought. Captain Klaus von Wolfstadt is a foreign legionary, and he did not swear an oath to the state, but to Commander Taki Reisen personally. Klaus is the general's "dog," his knight and permanent bodyguard. Many dislike him for his insolence, good luck, arrogance, but most of all for his closeness to Mr. Taki. Sometimes it seems that the commander himself dislikes his loyal vassal. But the soldiers and officers do not know what goes on behind the locked doors of the general's chambers...
