254 Defense of Lown Peak 2 (2/2)

”News! There's news!”

A big newspaper was posted on the bulletin board of the capital's city plaza and people began gathering to see what the news was.

-Monsters in Dentrion Kingdom's Leeman region

-The west of Katzback Kingdom decimated by monsters

-Over five regions of the Southern Mijouri Kingdom have been destroyed

-Monsters have appeared in the southeastern region of Farcia Kingdom

-12 regions decimated west of Tei Kingdom

-Sadiu Kingdom, holding the defensive line by the mountain range

”Bah! Those fools! They should've listened to us!”

”Too bad they ignored our emperor's advice!”

”No, don't forget that there are people there. We shouldn't say that.”

”Oh, but Sadiu Kingdom is doing great. They are holding the line well.”

”I heard their first prince is a fan of the emperor.”

”Yeah, they are sending a lot of nobles to study here at the empire.”

”I heard the emperor even supplied them with cannons as proof of alliance.”

After people mumbled about the news for a while, they began to scatter. Soon, not many people were left on the streets. Then, a woman with ragged clothing who was selling apples by the street stood up and began cleaning up.

”Mother, are we going back now?”

”Yes. People aren't too worried so we shouldn't need to be too concerned.”

Sunsook nodded at another woman who had come to help her. She too was wearing ragged clothes.

”I heard you are going to be deployed with the Red Cross this time? How about the kids?”

”I'm sure you will take care of them well.”

”I certainly can. Be careful out there.”

”Of course. But I'm sure it's safer with him.”

Jasmin smiled. These two were the children of the emperor and the empress herself.
