Inside a room within the Periveria royal castle, aface-to-face
One was an elderly woentle smile
Boasting unrivaled achievements and capability as a warrior, her atmosphere was relatively calm and warm
(No es)
Grahartat Elena's appearance when she carried the teacup and drank the tea elegantly
For Grahart the first time he saw [Rozeria's White Goddess of War] hen he had just enrolled in the knight order
Many of the knights from back then were fascinated by her friendly personality, but even when she had become old, her charm did not decline
Hue, but the appeal see years
”So? What do you think? What was your impression when you first met him?”
Toward Grahart as aler, Elena spoke to him with polite words
Gerhart himself felt disheartened with such an act because he also considered the difference in experience between the two, but he sed such thoughts and floated a bitter se the way she speaks even if he asked her
”I' your expectations but, to be honest, I can't really tell”
Although he felt a little hesitation, Grahart talked as clearly as possible
”Indeed, certainly he see self-control, but, the number of soldiers he leads is too small Thus I do not think that he will affect the war situation too much Also”
Grahart stopped talking trying to think better words
”Also, not only young, ht?”
Listening to his words, Elena had an innocent smile like a child when their mischief succeeded
”Did you see them already?”
A surprised expression appeared on Garhart's face
”No, I just saw theo”
”A while ago is it?”
Perhaps, she saw them from afar when Grahart met with Ryouma and escorted him to the capital
”I do want to talk to that child before the audience this afternoon but”
”Well, there's no other choice Even his reat expectations for the reinforcements from Rozeria And if we let Mikoshi+ba-dono and Elena-sama meet first, we don't knohat kind ofto make” <tln: you=”” see=”” in=”” a=”” war,=”” not=”” everyone=”” in=”” a=”” country=”” supports=”” the=”” war,=”” some=”” want=”” peace=”” even=”” at=”” the=”” cost=”” of=”” capitulation=””>
The situation Zalda was in was indeed bleak
Since a year ago, they had fought against the Ortomea Empire invasion The national land was exhausted and thethe soldiers
Rural fields close to the frontlines were burned away,wo urban areas
Furthermore, the number of people who couldn’t receive sufficient protection from their lords and sold themselves as slaves had increased
The Zalda Kingdoun to decline drastically
That hy, this was the last chance for the Zalda Kingdom
Noith Rozeria and Mist Kingdoht a decisive battle in a single strike
Of course, this was a gamble with the existence of a country as the piece, but this was a gamble that needed to be done
At least the ht so
”Grahart I understand your feelings, but you should not deny those people who seek peace, try to understand theht?”
Sensing Grahart who spoke with eroup, Elena spoke to hi her child
”But still!”
”Listen alright? Those peace-seeking groups are not traitors They just have their oay of thinking and try to make the best choice for this country and his h they choose a different way co for is the sa, no?”
(Well, that is if they don't have any ill-will of course)
Such words crossed her mind, and Elena showed a bitter smile
After all, she knew that goodas the erous poison a country could eat
Nevertheless, Grahart ht seek his own justice if she did not try to put his mind back
Unification of intention by force
It was not the best method nor correct choice, but that was the last resort after all other possibilities were exhausted
”Of course For the survival of Zalda Kingdom”
Grahart as unable to understand Elena'svoice
”Sodo as the Royal Fareat but it is better than losing everything Isn't it natural so?”
” Does Elena-sama also think like that?”
For hi he did not want to hear, thus his expression was distorted in anguish
”Do you think I caht in my mind?”
