Chapter 63 – 07. Who Gets the King.

“Are you all right?”
“It’s okay. Rather, it can be an opportunity.”
She smiled slightly.
Several emotions were mixed.
“Hassan. Who would you choose, a king who abandoned his country and his people his and fled, or a king who fought to the end even though he was lacking?”
“Of course I would choose the latter.”
“Me too.”
She gently stroked her finely grown leaves.
“From the point of view of war, Your Highness should definitely run back. Chess is like that too. When the enemy comes, the king should avoid it. If caught, it’s game over. But,”
She snapped the leaves.
“It’s only right as a strategy, it’s not morally right. No, even if it’s right, it doesn’t make sense. So the people will choose it.”
If you can manage the public sentiment well, you will be able to become a king.
“Besides that, the Mei Empire is behind me. Now all I have to do is remove Your Highness’s shadow.”
“Isn’t there a guarantee that the Mei Empire will help?”
“I will help. If you are a wise emperor. The current Vasa is not the old Vasa. Moreover, there is an unexpected entity called Aran. Shouldn’t you be using us?”
She predicted.
In the past 20 years, the Mei Empire has been falling due to the luxury and pleasure of Emperor Seorae.
Of course, in the early days of Emperor Seorae’s reign, the foundation was laid so well that even that was a great power, but it was hard to ignore that it would fall.
On the other hand, Basa unified the long Warring States period and is enjoying the most brilliant heyday since ancient times.
Looking at the troops mobilized over the past three years, this fact can be clearly seen.
The Mei Empire cannot easily choose war.
“Oh, come to think of it, Your Highness doesn’t even have a royal seal. Huhuhu.”
Yerina hid herself tightly so as not to be seen, but she could not avoid the eyes of Hassan, Yekaterina’s greatest source of information.
A king without a seal.
The king even abandoned his people and fled during the war.
Anyway, this has a fixed outcome.
“Now the only thing to worry about is Aran. He would be fine if only he could do something about it.”
“Perhaps the prince also has the royal seal.”
“That’s right. He’s the first person to turn the capital.”
Seal.
If it comes in, it becomes a step easier.
Of course, having the seal does not make you a king, but at least Yerina becomes a king who has lost her seal.
That’s very big
“Master. How about doing it like this instead?”
Hassan brought her mouth her to her ear her.
Ekaterina kept a strange expression on her face as she listened, but she smiled at the end.

The nobles moved busily.
It is because the king is doing Pacheon again, so you have to adapt to it in order to live.
“Terrina, now you are the Crown Princess of this country.”
In the end, Yerina did a dry job.
The procedure was very simple as it was done in the process of preparing Pacheon.
“You will lead the Bunjo to stabilize the country and appease the public.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Ekaterina obediently knelt down and obeyed the order.
In the meantime, she had passed through the harsh years and had barely become a crown princess, but she was strangely not happy.
‘It must be temporary anyway.’
She might be a little happy if Yerin had made her the Crown Princess with her sincerity her, but it’s so obvious that even her newborn baby her could tell that she didn’t mean it.
It was just that in order to overcome this war, he had no choice but to overcome the torch of nobles.
“Your Highness, I have something to give you before you go.”
“Give me something? Are you talking about me?”
Ekaterina held out her little box.
It was an exude of luxury.
“This is a talisman that has recently become popular in the West. It is said to block bad energy and ward off bad luck, so keep it with you.”
“……”
Yerina hesitated a little.
She used to give presents once a year on her birthday her, but this was the first time she’d given them on a regular basis.
She tried to figure out what she meant as usual, but she shook her head and held out her hand.
Do you doubt your intentions? It was not a courtesy to the giver.
She is much less her own daughter her.
Wouldn’t it hurt too much to doubt even here?
“Thank you.”
With that said, she climbed into her carriage.
And she looked back.
“…Stay alive.”
With a confused look on her face, she completely disappeared and went into her carriage.
Consequently, the nobles also climbed into their respective wagons.
The wagons and pacheon procession began to move further and further away.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I survive. Me too.”
As if to see her off her, I followed her behind her as her cold smile her disappeared.

“What would you do if an enemy king or princess offered to trade his body for her to seal her?”
“Um…For now…”
“You eat and throw it away? After reassuring me that you know, I will eat it first and then eat it.”
“…How do you see me, Count?”
“I’m sorry.”
“…”
He is truly the same person.
“Huh…How do you compare a seal to a person?”
“Even if the king gives you a body?”
“Once you catch it, he doesn’t have to deal.”
“That means you’re going to catch and commit it by force!”
“No, rather than that…”
“Be honest. Your Highness. No one is imitating you.”
As always, she tried to corrupt Aran.
Just looking at it, it seems like I was born for it.
If you mix her words her with her, her story her progresses toward unknowingly committing a woman.
Aran sneakily avoided her question.
“There’s no way such a situation would come in the first place. Is there anything to advertise that the seal has been lost?”
“Hmm… I guess so.”
While we were talking, the cavalryman who had sent scouts returned.
“What do you think?”
“As expected, the king seems to have escaped.”
“Hmm…”
“It’s a pity. The brute’s highness’ dream of tying up the king and violating it has collapsed.”
“I don’t have any dreams like that.”
“Instead, the Crown Princess, Princess Ekaterina, remains in command of the army.”
“A princess?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, as expected, Heaven did not abandon His Highness His. This love that even gives a princess if the king does not work!”
Like a fanatic, Hancock clasped his hands and spun around.
As the days passed, it seemed that her behavior was becoming more bizarre.
“Lamias, do something. You always overpowered the Count.”
“Please understand, Your Highness. It’s because you were disappointed in your own empty, lonely, and worthless heart. You’re a strong person, so you’ll recover soon.”
“Shut up Wangjjijji.”
“Ho-ho. Look.”
Aran turned away from the two fighting and fell into thought.
As expected, the king ran away.
If so, the destination is probably Sua.
It was the northernmost point of Throdia.
‘I might have caught it if it wasn’t for the lava.’
It must have been a while since they ran away, so you can catch up just by looking at the speed of the cavalry.
However, there is a wall right in front of it, which is a problem.
“Can we just go back?
Somehow Hancock came up with normal words.
“That’s a good way too.”
“Shall they make a way? Even Throdia would know for sure that the king would be captured if sent.”
“Heh. That’s why you have to chase the king. It’s like an insufficient milk cow.”
“…Sharing is talkative.”
Hancock raised his index finger.
“Listen carefully. Let’s say we go after the king. Then, as you said, the Throdian girls won’t be watching. They’ll definitely come out.
This is the point. Although we have a monster height, aside from that, we are made up of cavalry. Cavalry is the most vulnerable class for siege attacks.
Do you know what I mean?
If they stay in the castle, it’s good to catch the king, and if they come out, that’s good too. We are cavalry.”
“So what if it’s a trap? Mr. Gong Yoo.”
“What?”
“Unless you’re an idiot, you know? I’d lay an ambush nearby. With archers.”
“…Gu, the archers were destroyed by Your Highness.”
“Hmph. How do you know that? There may be more, or there may be reinforcements from the Mei Empire.”
“…”
Hancock pursed his lips.
I wanted to say something, but it seemed like I couldn’t think of anything.
“Let’s make a recommendation to surrender.”
“Surrender recommendation?”
“Yeah. I’m saying it with my own mouth, but I’m here? Since there was such a commotion, I think rumors would have spread around here by now. Wouldn’t they surrender if I told them I was coming? It was like that at Art.”
“It’s hard to expect that. If this hole is breached, the king will be captured, and the princess has been left behind for him.”
“Um…Is that so?”
Aran and Ramias discussed Hancock, who had been burnt to white.
Since there is Aran, there is a way to destroy it recklessly.
So the damage to civilians should be minimized, but that was difficult.
“Your Highness! The enemy’s gates are opening!”
“Yes?”
A soldier’s report.
As she said, the enemy gates were opening.
“Is it coming out? What is it?”
