The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects

After spending decades fighting on the battlefield, Dias is finally allowed to go home, celebrated as a hero of the war. As a reward, the king grants him his own territory, which sounds like a nice retirement gift until Dias actually arrives and finds nothing but wide open grassland. No town, no people, not even a proper road: just him and an empty frontier.

Having only ever known life as a soldier, Dias has no idea how to run a domain, let alone build one from scratch. That's when he meets Alna, a girl with a striking blue horn on her forehead, who leads him to the hidden village where her people already live. Their meeting becomes the spark that finally gets Dias's new life as a lord moving.

From there, the story follows Dias as he slowly earns the trust of Alna's people and starts turning his empty frontier into an actual home, one small step, one new face, and one new problem at a time.
