“Your slashes are lacking, Mars! Look at the movements more and attack!”

“uu! Yes!”

Mars who attacks nimbly while scattering his sweat. He faces his sword towards the upper right and swings it upwards diagonally from below but, Liscia who's confronting him blocks his sword without even moving a single step.

It seems Mars knew that it'd turn out that way, he immediately recovers the repelled sword and slashes again. Liscia brushes it off with ease, finds Mars' opening and

“Not good enough!”

“Gufuu!?”

She drove the wooden sword into Mars' flank with all her strength. Mars who couldn't make it in time to defend and received Liscia's sword in full was sent easily flying for several tens of meters.

She's now grabbing the scruff of the neck of Mars who bounced on the floor several times and finally stopped and pointing out his bad points. I wonder if it's my imagination that Mars' eyes are slightly rolled back?

I think about the matters hereafter while looking at how things are going. About half a year has pa.s.sed since Fia became Mestoa Kingdom's Queen.

During the change of the King, it's decided that the Earl died from injuries from the previous battle and because the Crown Prince also suffered heavy injuries, he yielded the throne to his elder sister, Fia. Although it seems the people thought strangely of that matter, it permeated without any particular problem.

I left the explanation to her own mother and the Crown Prince's wife to Fia and, I suppose because they knew about me, it seems the both of them consented to it without any particular defiance.

All of the ministers retired and were completely replaced. I'm leaving Nero at the top of the ministers. He uses his flesh body when he goes out in public so I suppose there won't be any problem occurring.

We've also gathered and met with the n.o.bles, and amongst them, there were those who proposed to Fia as well. Saying that this country will be peaceful if they're around and whatnot.

Well, I had those guys who say that duel the Dullahan that I placed with Fia as her escort and chased them off.

There are close to 20 Dullahans currently. I used the souls of dead knights that were summoned by Liscia's strength and created them. Although strong ones only appear occasionally, I'm making all of them Fia's escorts. Naturally, I'm making them wear their heads.

The reason I make her have escorts with her is, that the a.s.sa.s.sinations have increased ever since she became the queen. All of them, like they're after this country, showed up every day at first. Hence, I make her have escorts with her.

Although it's fine to have Dullahans outside the room Fia sleeps, I feel bad making her place them in her room so besides the Dullahans, I also created several Devil's ShadowDoppelgangers with Fia's blood.

Although their ranks are quite a bit lower than my shadow, they're able to hold the a.s.sa.s.sins back and buy time, turn into Fia and become decoys so I think they're quite useful.

After that, the zombie and skeleton underlings have also increased. I've also gotten higher-species and mutant-species as well so the war potential is getting quite into place as well. It's still about 50 thousand in total but, we won't have any problem going up against an ordinary country.
