Because of Alyssa’s pursuit the nuh they took flight escaping Rhone

The offensive lasted for a few days and the activity of the border security in Rhone was arranged to resume All was explained to the citizens of Arosel and the tidying up began Alyssa returned to Arosel wearing a tired facial expression

“… Sleepy” (Alyssa)

“Yes, thanks for your hard work Sleep well” (Origa)

Having received the report fro to her own roo of the Lord

Origa herself had to coing citizens back to their own ho orders to the soldiers left behind to clean up the city Having her injury coorously than before

And now she is handling her own and Hifumi’s share of travel preparations

In the briefing session with Midas, Midas had no other choice but to accept the one-sided instructions in regards to the report contents fro Pajou and the other knights of the Third Knight Unit, which Hifumi had killed, had been killed in action in the battle with Vichy

Because it would cause a huge loss of face for the royalty, if the truth of I the order to assassinate another noble were to be spread, Midas gladly accepted that kind of conclusion as it was far h it rong towards Pajou, there was no better solution without this whole situation having a dramatic impact on the princess

But Midas’ tension recurred once he heard Hifumi’s words after this topic was settled

“I will go to the royal castle soon as I have to talk with Imeraria” (Hifumi)

“Yo-You have to talk… ?” (Midas)

“No rande, so it is necessary to return triuive a report of the victory, I think” (Hifumi)

Like this it becaside the survivingany soldiers along In order to protect the territory, all of the territorial soldiers will be left behind

“It will be only us, so I won’t particularlythe trip, okay?” (Hifumi)

“You …” (Midas)

As Hifued to squeeze out an answer

The political centre of Horant is the capital city, Ludan

The Ludan castle, where the aged king Suprangel Geng Horant (T/N: >> Supurangeru Gengu Horanto) resides, is called royal castle He has been holding the throne for the long time of 50 years

However, the one having substantial ability in the ways of politics, being his directly descending grandchild, was Belldore (T/N: >> Verudore <>

The elder king had declared to pass the crown to Belldore, who had no children of his own Even the experi pushed forward by Belldore for the sake of gaining moderate accomplishments

With the authority of the king being very powerful, the order of royalty is an absolute for the few nobles of Horant as well The standing of regular soldiers drafted fro of funds upon the king’s order for the sake of developing the ht about due to the ic tools, criticism from the masses was suppressed

“How is the situation developing?” (Suprangel)

“It’s going well” (Belldore)

When the king inquired with a hoarse voice, Belldore answered standing upright

“The aggression-rising ic tool Elrik are almost complete, too” (Belldore)

“However, there are flaws as well…” (Suprangel)

“Installing Ganga causes the target to go on a ra upon the effect of Elrikcauses the actions of the target to becoement declines sharply Still, there are ways for practical use either way There won’t be any problems if we use it only on soldiers and ive out directions to the soldiers” (Belldore)

As Belldore answered confidently puffing up with pride, King Suprangel nodded his head

“Very well It is fine to go with your results as they are You will also give the researchers a reward to show theel)

“I shall follow your words” (Belldore)

Further decided to listen to the opinion of Belldore concerning the situation in the other countries

“… For soel)

“It appears that there is a young noble of Orsongrande, having obtained the trust of the princess, acting violently and rudely He has been bestowed the territory including the national border to Vichy I hear he shaved off an unknown size of territory of Vichy Isn’t the battle continuing even now?” (Belldore)

“Even at the border of our country to Orsongrande there seeel)

“Since we have officially sided with Vichy and because even our country’s soldiers are heading towards the border, they have apparently deployed their soldiers in response They won’t atteh” (Belldore)

If they start an all-out war on this side, it will becorande It rande won’t start so and grandchild Once the ith Vichy ends, the reason for Horant to deploy its soldiers will vanish as well

“Orsongrande’s side has raised a set aeneral outline is that it will end with Vichy’s side co the outcoreat number of soldiers” (Belldore)

After conte said slowly as if chewing it thoroughly,

“Well then … Once the state of affairs has calrande can be withdrawn, I will use the opportunity to retire froel)

“That is…” (Belldore)

“You will beco this country But, showeffective on the border soldiers I have decided this to be your first accoel)

“Ha, I will make my move at once” (Belldore)

“Uel)

For the news, of Hifuainst thethem, to circulate in Horant, a few more days were still necessary

There is a town called Münster (T/N: >> Miyunsuta) extrerande on Horant’s side

This town has the saes in its circu it

Biron isn’t particularly close to either the prince or the princess He wasn’t very well-infor place close to Vichy where Fokalore played a central role as his territory could also be said to be on the opposite side Even the the request for stationing the troops of the Second Knight Unit this ti he only reluctantly accepted due to the docunature of the prince The coht unit also only started at the tiht Unit’s captain, Stifels, cas Biron’s stance was “Just do whatever you want”

“Why has a knight unit come all the way to this place?” (Biron)

Without trying to conceal his dissatisfaction, Biron co dead tired on a sofa

He was a still young head of a household at the age of 30 years With the death due to illness of his father 5 years ago, he was called back ho as bureaucrat in the capital

Even the current circumstances, he understands that Vichy and Horant have a connection notwithstanding the lack of information He also knew that there wasn’t even any point in provoking Horant Of course, anticipating an e the area close to the border than usual He also kneell that he ht have to to dispatch troops on short call

At any rate, since quite many soldiers were deployed to another place, the maintanence of public order in the whole town started to show holes His only as for the whole situation to quickly finish not caring whether the rising noble Hifumi, whose face he doesn’t even knoins or loses

Not only that, in regards to the Second Knight Unit, turning up here recklessly and in a fighting ilant

If soe happens and hostilities with Horant unfold, he doesn’t have the intention to lose, but he will feel unease about the safety of the town of Münster His own territorial soldiers will be depleted as well

Moreover, the Second Knight Unit is building a simple fortress in the oes even as far that they are talking about inviting Prince Ayperos there for encouragein with, due to the influence of the princess’ popularity, Prince Ayperos has a thin presence with the plain achieveh

“I guess it is a suggestion by the queen, but doesn’t she understand that starting a war here will cause his evaluation to pummel even more?” (Biron)
