Chapter 111 – Day 15 – Road to Gregorian Kingdom (8)
“How much food is this…”
“Oh my God… To be able to eat food… The world has changed since the princess came…”
Barnaol Fortress was the place where Hestia, the duke and leader of the Frostflower Knights, stayed. Thanks to this, there was a fairly large restaurant in the castle, and nobles Hestia and Ceres were sitting on the side with the cleanest and most colorful decorations, and on the other side, soldiers could not take off their armor properly and hurriedly picked up food and ate food.
The princess and Hestia were properly seated, while Grace and Ceres wearing aprons, and the attendants who rode the princess’ carriage were busy bringing food and filling the table.
“Everyone! Don’t rush! There’s so much food that everyone here can eat! Eat slowly, everyone!”
Grace spoke with a bright smile, her cheeks red from sweating, and her bangs messed up. But she was feeling proud. Many of her soldiers were also seen wearing pure white bandages, which were traces of Grace curing them without any confirmation.
“Princess…”
Hestia was sitting on a chair wearing armor properly, and he was thrilled to see properly cooked food he hadn’t seen in years. In particular, the stew and the grilled meat, which smelled good of her, seemed to have not been eaten for a long time, so she trembled and grabbed the fork and knife.
A bottle of wine was brazenly placed in her seat her, but the princess did not intervene.
“I won’t let you go if you get drunk and make another mess… But for you, it’s like a festival, so I’ll allow you to drink.”
“Thank you, Princess Venus. Thank you very much. I always cursed at the Empire…”
“Haha,haha! You’re really honest. But, I can understand your feelings.”
The princess smiled bitterly and moved her knife and fork to properly cut the chunk of meat in front of her. It was a meal all too familiar to her, but how much meat is she worth to Hestia and the less than 10 soldiers here?
The princess chewed the chunk of her meat, dripping with blood and sprinkled with salt, in her mouth her. Unlike her leisurely eating her, her aristocrat her, Hestia, as well as her soldiers her standing at the end of her wooden table were hastily tearing open a grilled chicken with their hands and shoving it into her mouth her.
Of course, there was some well-roasted pork in front of them, but perhaps they had eaten it all, not even a trace of the juice remained in the bowl.
“The Empire didn’t know anything about what happened in the Duchy of Altai, let alone what happened in the Gregorian Kingdom. I’m really sorry.
As the princess quenched her throat with her beer with a bitter expression on her face her, Hestia, who chewed and swallowed her meat and ate the stew with a spoon, was silent for a long time.
She drinks a glass of her wine and then exhales a whoo. She could look greedy and ravenous, but the princess could understand.
She said, ‘Didn’t you say you’ve been here for three years. If the supply was cut off for two years … If not, for a year, he would have eaten bread from nearby farmers or killed one or two wild animals to fill his stomach his … ‘
It’s not like Hestia eats meat with her hands her obscenely either. The princess calmly waited, and when Grace finally sat down next to her, she could see Hestia’s mouth open.
“I didn’t even expect help from the Empire from the beginning, so it’s okay. Princess.”
“Is there a reason? I think the Empire and the Gregorian Kingdom are on good terms.”
It was good compared to the Kingdom of Galagon, which was always dissatisfied with the demons. At least that’s what the princess thought.
“The warriors and nobles of the great Gregorian Kingdom hate to death asking for help from the Empire.”
Hestia sighed. When Grace heard that, she smiled a little bitterly.
“That’s true. There are some nobles who refuse to offer help from the Order of Saints, saying that it would damage a warrior’s honor. Haa… Farmers and hunters still receive treatment. ..”
“The imperial family kills the demons, and the kingdom of Galagon makes the land of the demons human…”
When Hestia opens her mouth, the princess clears her throat and opens her mouth.
“The Gregorian Kingdom protects humans from alien species. Lastly, the Magicka Kingdom studies magic that will bring prosperity to humans, so let us humans prosper forever under the Empire’s unsettling sun.”
“Isn’t this a story that even the children of the Empire know? Is there something I don’t know?”
In response to Grace’s innocent question her, the princess briefly brought her beer to her mouth her once more, swallowed it, and shook her head.
“There is nothing wrong with the story itself. However, the important point is that the three kingdoms that have decided to become one have obligations.”
“The princess knows that very well. That’s right. Neither the great queen nor the other nobles want to borrow the Empire’s hand when it comes to fighting a different race.”
“Are you afraid that if you don’t do your duty, your authority will drop or your territory will be taken away like in the Magicka Kingdom?”
If that was a problem, her princess could have made her promise to her own father, or when her own time came.
“There is that, but pride won’t allow it. The fact that they, who have fought against a different race for hundreds of years, borrows the power of imperial soldiers who don’t know much about the other race itself… “
Hestia spoke with a very uncomfortable expression, but her meal continued without a word. Grace, too, seemed to be hungry and started eating with a knife and fork, leaving only the princess silently worried.
‘Even if I go to Gregorio’s capital and meet her queen her, I don’t think it will be resolved right away. On the subject of suffering because of a different race…’
The princess thought for a moment, then stared blankly at Hestia. Fortunately, she was emptying her wine bottle as if she had almost finished her meal.
“Hestia. Didn’t the Gregorian kingdom use a different race to block their attack?”
“Ah… I thought you didn’t know anything about our kingdom… Princess. Do you know anything unexpected? That’s right.”
Hestia sips her wine with a smile. Her cheeks were flushed, but she seemed far from going on a rampage.
“Some of the Orcs speak the language of the Empire, and so do the Elves. Humans are the same. Some humans like to fight, some like to touch money. There are people who are very cooperative with you.”
“Even if they are not cooperative with humans, there are also those who attack the same species that attack humans because their interests are right?”
“That’s right. That’s the correct answer. The Gregorian Kingdom has long since used that method to exquisitely strike the back of the head of a heterogeneous tribe or show off a tactic of destroying them from the front with the power of powerful warriors.”
At the moment of telling this story, Hestia seemed to feel her pride her in her Gregorian kingdom her. Because she strangely stretched out her chest.
“But since the Queen has sat on her throne, what can I say … The timing is a bit exquisite …”
However, she quickly noticed the princess and smiled bitterly.
“From a certain moment, they started to come together as one, and our Gregorian kingdom became weak due to… Complicated circumstances.”
“Then I want to know your thoughts. Could the Queen of Gregorio think of using her demons to defeat the alien tribes and free herself from the rule of her empire her?”
Hestia furrowed her eyebrows at the princess’s question. She put on a very displeased look, and she gulped down her wine without answering right away.
“Princess…”
Grace also looks at the two women with concern, probably thinking this is a rather odd question. However, neither Hestia nor her princess opened their mouths easily, and only after the wine bottle was almost empty did Hestia sit back on her chair and open her mouth.
“Is it possible.”
“Heh… Commander of the Hestia Knights. Isn’t that a really… Dangerous statement? That of the Empire… “
Grace speaks awkwardly.
The Empire was a country that dominated a huge continent. Separating from the Empire on its own meant that a war that might never end, a fight between humans might start again.
“Did you say that Gregorian warriors and nobles are proud? There are people who say that there is no problem even if they become independent because the Empire does not help them much on such a topic.. Uhm..”
Hestia strangely starts to change her tone from being polite to being comfortable with alcohol, and Ceres ponders whether or not she to remove the bottle.
“From the point of view of the Empire, even if Gregorio went out on his own, he would n’t bother attacking and occupying those who play a role in blocking the different races? What are you thinking?”
“Answer… The Princess is smart. No… Is it a matter of common sense? Anyway. Even within the Gregorian Kingdom, there are people who want to become independent and use the taxes to send to the Empire to strengthen the Kingdom… There are people who say to stay as low as possible because if you are not below, the different races will attack more strongly.”
If the knight leader was honest, the princess sighed deeply after hearing her honest words of her. It seemed clear that there was a reason to use her demons.
‘You might think that he used demons to save the Gregorian Kingdom, which was in danger, as if he was playing with a different race. Even sending demons to Colonia and Mediolanum would be difficult because it would be difficult to send soldiers if the lands of the empire close to Gregorio’s kingdom were in chaos…’
In order to quickly subdue Gregorio, who has become independent from the Empire, you must use soldiers from the lands near Gregorio. It didn’t take long for the princess to move in her carriage on a huge ship, but it was a different story for her to move with huge soldiers.
I don’t know how many weeks it will take, but what if the surrounding nobles’ lands, which are confused by demons and pagans, are busy taking care of their own business and can’t send soldiers? We may have to acquiesce to Gregorian independence and move on.
In addition, if you continue to use demons and pagans to harass the lands of the empire…
‘Abama, obviously, rather than gathering his soldiers and attacking the Gregorian Kingdom, will use them as a shield to block the alien tribes as much as possible and will be busy cleaning up the inside of the empire.. It doesn’t make sense ..Grunt.’
The princess sighed and rose from her seat her.
“Is there a room for me in this castle?”
“I will guide you.”
Hestia got up, and Ceres tried to get up too. But Hestia shakes her hand.
“Mr. Ceres is eating.”
“Yes, Ceres must also eat. What will he do with going to his room?”
The princess smiled and said her words her, and Ceres sat down again with a small smile. She was seen beginning to eat, talking casually with Grace, who was sitting next to her.
After coming out of her restaurant, the princess followed Hestia, who was walking in front of her, and since she was alone, she was finally able to open her mouth her.
“Hestia. How are you with the Gregorian queen?”
“What kind of relationship is there besides the duke and the queen?”
Hestia strangely stretches her words and moves her body her. She wondered if the guest rooms in the castle where she hadn’t come in for two years were in good shape, but she wondered if Ceres had already cleaned them.
“Don’t lie to me. Don’t you use the surname Gregorio? It’s obvious that there is some kind of relationship with Gregorio’s queen no matter where you look.”
“What kind of relationship does the leader of the Frostflower Knights have with the great Gregorian Queen?”
Hestia denies it once more. The princess clicked her tongue at the sight of her and reached out her hand her to speak to her. Naturally she was able to grab Hestia’s hand her and pull it towards her own body her.
“Wait… What is this…”
The princess was able to see with her own eyes what she hadn’t even thought of at that moment. A pendant hanging around the neck of her princess.
After 100 days, a bright light was emanating strongly, indicating that she was a person who could break through her destiny of being castrated.
