Chapter 125 (1/2)
“Could Sir Luke doing well?”
Reina suddenly looked up at the northern sky as she was thinking of something.
It was because she hadn’t received a letter for more than two weeks.
“Princess, don’t worry. Sir Luke would return back safely without any damages.”
“You think so?”
At the words from Pavel, she nodded her head.
Reina had heard the story from a merchant who had visited the city of Krom the day before the battle in Torlot.
He said that it was a place where the army was sent over for exile, and there was no quiet day. Also at the front line, where the Volga Republic was constantly looking for a battle.
However, Luke constantly told her that he was fine, so she had no choice but to wait and place belief in him.
Reina and Pavel were talking about Luke and his well-being.
When suddenly, soldiers came into the chambers.
“Huge news! The Volga army has invaded the border!” He stated.
“What did you say?!” The two of them asked.
The two of them were so surprised that, they asked the soldier for more details.
But all that soldier knew was that the Volga army had invaded the border.
“I can’t stay here. I need to see Sir Hans right away.”
She got up and went to meet Hans who was at Lamer’s permanent residency. He was the one in-charge of land, so he should have known something.
And her thought was right.
The office of Lamer’s Lord was very noisy with the sudden relay of information.
“Sir Hans!” Reina called out.
“Ah, Princess Reina is here.”
Those discussing the measures got up from their seat and offered one to Reina.
Sitting down, she asked about Luke’s safety, for which they had answered,
“We are using our abilities to see what is happening at the Torlot Fortress, but we haven’t been able to figure out anything as the Imperial army is controlling all the information flow.”
The new findings of Hans and the retainers were that the number of Volga army was very large, unlike the fights in the previous years.
Naturally, the fort had been attacked, and the situation of the Torlot Fortress was likely to be very dangerous.
“Can’t we help?” Asked Reina.
“Are you talking about sending reinforcements?”
“Yes, if soldiers and infantry are tough, then let’s send the knights and the Gigants and think about sending the reinforcements.”
But it wasn’t easy to send forces from the South to the North.
In addition, according to the Imperial law, the army of one territory doesn’t have the permission to enter another land without the consent from the Emperor and Imperial assembly.
“If we ignore the law and cross the land, we will be charged with treason.”
“If so… then how about we disguise them as mercenaries?”
“Although we are looking for multiple ways to send help. We can’t just decide to send in the army without knowing what the situation was the Torlot Fortress.”
The retainers were in talks.
No matter how large the invaded Volga army was, the work and law of the empire had to be followed.
The imperial forces could be trying to block the Volga republic from moving ahead. If that wasn’t the case, Luke could have safely retreated.
“It would be nice to at least know some information about the Torlot Fortress.”
Hans was thinking that it was no coincidence for the war to break out in such a situation. No, it was no coincidence, it was the Emperor’s conspiracy.
If not, why would a war break out shortly after Luke had been assigned to the front?
Even if he was scared of what might happen in the war, he had the responsibility to stay calm and think.
While Hans was feeling frustrated, Reina asked,
“Can we know the information about the battlefield?”
“Sorry?”
“If we know the information about the battlefield, can we help Sir Luke?”
At her question, Hans firmly responded to her,
“If our Lord is in crisis, we will all run over to save and help him, even if it means for us being considered as traitors.”
Luke was their Lord and the only successor to Rakan.
If Luke died, there was no future family.
Reina, with a smile on her lips, got up from her seat.
“Then, I’ll get the information somehow. Please wait.”
