Chapter 52 – 06. Participation in the Mei Empire

Before Aran departed, the troops Illyana had sent arrived.
She couldn’t empty Cora yet, so she only sent her medical forces.
“Your Highness! Where are you going in such a hurry?”
The one who led her forces was Viscount Emilia.
“We have to capture the king by order of Sister Juana.”
“The king… You mean? We’ll go with you.”
“That’s not right. There was an order to move only with cavalry to deal with the enemy quickly.”
“So… Don’t the enemy’s troops still remain in the north?”
Aran shrugged his shoulders.
She, too, seemed strange to her.
“What should I do? That the order came down.”
“…”
“Viscount, please hurry to organize her loot her. I have already divided what is to be sent to her home country and what is to be distributed to her soldiers her.”
“…Yes. Your Highness. May you be well.”
Aran left with the Viscount seeing him off.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
Hancock asked from the side.
Her face was full of worry.
“Her Highness Princess Illyana cares for you, right? Why don’t you discuss it? But officially, he’s the commander-in-chief.”
“It’s okay. This is also an opportunity.”
Saving a crisis becomes an opportunity.
Alan decided to think so.
If he was an ordinary man, he had the power of subscription.
“Even though…”
An expression of concern.
It wasn’t often that Hancock put on a serious face, but that’s why I could feel his sincerity.
“It’s okay. Even so, I’m studying magic.”
In terms of tier, it was Tier 1, but since it had infinite mana, it might be Tier 4 or higher in terms of destructive power.
“Well, I’ll protect you when it gets really difficult. But…”
She glanced back.
“Why is this woman following me?!”
There, Lamia was smiling.
“Jeha. Even if I look like this, I am a merchant. I know the geography of this country thoroughly.”
“Hmph! I don’t need anything like that. I have a map.”
“There is always a gap between maps and reality.”
“Your Highness! Is it okay to bring in an outsider like this?! What if he does it’s a spy!”
“Oh, I swore by my name. I won’t do that.”
“It is.”
“Uuuuu!!”
Her face her flushed.
Why does this person trust people so well?
“Your Highness, I’m presumptuous, but one day I’ll get a serious nose injury.”
“Your words are too harsh. Your Highness.”
“I said it was a presumptuous word!”
Hancock pushes back with a kuaa.
“Rather than that, it’s more important to attack quickly now. According to information, the king is in Lloyd.”
“Majesty!”
“We have to pass Art in the middle, so we have to get past it as quickly as possible. Because we can’t occupy Art with 10,000 cavalry.”
Aran ignored Hancock and went ahead.
In fact, he was learning magic from Ramias these days, so he was a necessary talent for Aran.

“Sheesh… I’m blown away. Why are you bringing a girl like that!”
He squatted down, unpacking what had accumulated.
Soon, a stream of hot water came out of the lower body of his, which had become naked.
“Ah. It’s really hard. It’s really hard. I have to change my body too.”
“Is that a dangerous statement? Jeha.”
Beside him, Lamias also crouched down.
“…What are you? What are you up to?”
“It’s not a ulterior motive. I’m just interested in Your Highness, who is male but has mana.”
“Do you think I would believe that?”
Hancock stood up.
“Even if you don’t believe me…What can I do? It’s true.”
She looked down with a disgruntled gaze.
“…If you touch it, I’ll kill you.”
“Well, don’t worry. I’ll never touch you in a bad way.”
Ramias stood up and turned around.
“If you stick too close, you’ll be worried that Jaeha might be bothering me.”
She smiles mischievously.
Her sexiness was more intense than when we first met.
“…Are you also from headquarters?”
“Couldn’t you be too direct?
“It’s you who’s in trouble. Your Majesty knows who I am.”
“Whoops. How can you…. The words seem to stick together. It’s been a long time indeed.”
She left her meaningful smile and walked away.
Hancock frowned at her in displeasure.
.
.

“Ah~ Your Highness. You’re being cunning.”
Upon returning to her temporary military camp, she was greeted by Ramias, who was openly attached to her Aran.
“What are you talking about! You took it!”
His hand his rested on Lamia’s breast her.
“It’s okay. I can accept everything from Your Highness. I swore that way. Fufu.”
“You!”
Before anyone knew it, Aran was able to flirt with her despite the presence of soldiers.
As expected, the results of training (?) Are not betrayed.
“Your Highness, it’s time to leave.”
“Ah! Count!”
But she stood up as if it was okay, as if she was embarrassed.
“That’s right. Time is time, so let’s start now.”
As Aran stood up, all the knights and soldiers also stood up.
Aran-gun is currently in the middle of Art.
After a little further, Lloyd appears saying that there is a king.
“Let’s go!”
* * *
“It’s called glass glass.”
“Ohh! Welcome!”
Yerina expressed great joy.
3 years of opening.
Finally, the Mei Empire decided to send reinforcements.
That’s a huge mogul!
“I have heard of the reputation of my duke.”
“It’s too much praise. Your Highness.”
She praised him with various words and praised the Emperor’s benevolence.
“But… How many troops do you have?”
Yuri laughed lightly.
“I came alone.”
“!”
Buzz buzz.
That you came alone
The hall became noisy.
“What do you mean by that!”
“To be exact, I’m still alone. The soldiers are preparing in my territory, so please don’t worry too much.”
“That’s right.Haha. I also…”
My heart was pounding.
If he came alone as a reinforcement, wouldn’t that be synonymous with not intervening?
“Anyway, you’ve had a hard time coming this far. Let’s hold a small banquet, so let’s do it together.”
“Thank you.”
.
.
.
Although the finances were feeble, it was opened grandly by inviting even vocalists.
The nobility enjoyed the banquet, each wearing luxurious clothes.
Those with partners got along with each other and even danced.
“Tsk tsk tsk… No… Not this.”
Several nobles shook their heads in the corner of the venue.
“That’s right. Even though the Mei Empire’s reinforcements came, such a waste in the war…”
The people were starving and should have become bandits, but such a banquet at the court that reached Pacheon.
If the people knew, they would stand up right away.
“Don’t do that too much. Your Highness can’t help it either.”
“Lowering…”
Ekaterina appeared in her dazzling jade dress.
Not just an expression, but really her dress her sparkled.
“If the Duke of Glass is offended, wouldn’t he suffer more damage then?”
“…Still, this budget can feed thousands of people!”
“Let’s think of it as an investment. It hurts me too.”
At that moment, the eyes of Prince Yuri and Ekaterina met.
She lowered her head slightly, and the duke came this way.
“You’re Princess Ekaterina. As you’ve heard, she’s beautiful.”
“I’ll just do the work. Ho-ho.”
The two complimented each other here and there and talked amicably.
Surprisingly, the two seemed to get along well.
“By the way, Your Highness and I must be having a hard time both mentally and physically.”
“Yeah…What…”
“Don’t worry. I’m here with His Majesty’s highest order. Throdia will be back to peace soon.”
“Thank you, Duke.”
She smiled and said hello, then walked away.
* * *
“Your Highness, you must leave this place.”
“…”
Yerina made a disapproving expression.
“There is a report that the enemy will arrive soon.”
“…You mean you’re telling me to run away again?”
“It is not an escape, it is a strategic retreat. If Your Highness is captured, this country will not end.”
“Degraded! It hasn’t been long since I’ve been taken down from the city! But you’re going to break down again!”
“That’s right! Public sentiment will turn around once more!”
The king disapproved of it, and the nobles also rebelled.
Even those who sided with her agreed with them this time.
Still, she pushed on.
“Public sentiment should be dealt with after the war. It’s time for her to take care of her interests her now.”
“But didn’t Duke Yuri of the Mei Empire already come! The Persian Empire will never be able to invade easily.”
“That’s right, he’s the only one. Mei-kun still hasn’t crossed our borders.”
“Duke Yuri is an important figure in the Mei Empire. They probably don’t know that, so how can they attack?”
Throdia wasn’t the only one who was exhausted over the past three years.
Basa, who raised a total of over 600,000 troops, was also sure to stumble.
In such a situation, I wouldn’t want to touch a person from the Mei Empire.
“It’s their enemy at the point where they’ve already come as reinforcements. They won’t even know, and they’ll attack without hesitation.”
“Listen, the enemy is 10,000, and there are 30,000 troops here. Also, there are 50,000 troops in the upper peninsula alone.”
“That’s the story of the enemy’s vanguard. We must not forget that the Hebando (下半島) has fallen into the enemy’s hands, and that the enemy’s size exceeds 400,000.”
“Well…”
Hearing that, he began to worry.
Although 10,000 are coming, the enemy’s total strength is 450,000.
Although he came to Pacheon, he ended up in the enemy camp in front of his nose.
As she seemed to hesitate, she was pushed by Ekaterina.
“If reinforcements from the Mei Empire come, then we can restore it again.”
“Your Majesty! How can you say such a thing! If the territory falls into the hands of the enemy, the people will be exposed to plunder and all sorts of crimes! How could the princess of a nation say such a shameful thing!”
“I’m not doing this because I don’t know morality. The world doesn’t go around only with morality.”
“However!”
“It’s okay. Pacheon doesn’t do it.”
“…Majesty.”
“I understand what you mean. However, there is also a duke of the Mei Empire here.
“…..”
“I will fight. I will not retreat any longer.”
“Excellent choice, Your Highness!”
“…I understand. If you really think so…”
Ekaterina was not discouraged.
“I have a trick.”
