Tales of Leo Attiel ~Portrait of the Headless Prince~

While I was writing this book, my main PC broke down, but although I ran into quite a few heart-stopping situations in which my data almost went flying away, I somehow managed to get to the point where I’m writing this ‘Afterword’ on my dust-covered secondary PC... Continuing on from the last time, and still filled with suffering (mostly the author’s), ‘LeoDen’ has reached its third volume.

Previously, Lord Leo just barely managed to protect his country from the intrigues of major powers. And he then determined that the next target he needed to swing his sword at was not a group of foreigners but those in his own homeland, Atall. From here on, we will gradually be seeing the historical events that earned him the distinction of being later known as the “Headhunting Prince”, and also the “Headless Prince”.

What kind of destiny did he follow, this boy who threw himself down spread-eagled in the grass in the opening of this story? And why does posterity treat him like an utmost villain? 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Dear readers, please be sure to check it out for yourselves.

Now then.

Recently, along with writing the main series, I’ve been made to write – er, no, I’ve been given the opportunity to write short stories and vignettes as shop-exclusive extras or for the web as a way of promoting sales.

In part to sort them into order for myself, here is a list of the stories that I have written so far:

1: Vignette: A story about Florrie trying her best to congratulate Leo on his thirteenth birthday.

2: Vignette: Set in Conscon Temple, a duel (?) between Kuon and Sarah.

3: Vignette: After battling at the temple, a story about how Camus lost a certain spear contest. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

4: Short Story: A story about Leo and Zanakk, a ‘drunkard’ who was one of Claude’s subordinates.

1 and 2 were shop-exclusives extras (currently unavailable – it doesn’t seem like there’s any point asking at the bookstore), 3 was featured on Dengeki Bunko’s NicoNico web channel, and 4 was published in the Dengeki Bunko Magazine, vol.44.

If you’re interested, please don’t forget to check again at a later date, in case I have the chance to write more.

With that, see you next time!
