“I see I can understand your intent”
Duke Brans believed Claudia’s desperate appeal was reasonable
‘She must have loved her husband a lot’
But Claudia was internally
‘Doesn’t matter whether they’re royalty or a Master, all men are the same’
Whatever a beautiful woman says in tears will be taken as the truth Claudia knew this very well from experience
‘It’d be foolproof if I whispered in his ear while ere in bed… but that’d be too retful that she was currently known as aBut that was okay She had already prepared so that would help convince Duke Brans
“It’s a bit humble, but I hope this would be useful to you, Duke Brans”
Claudia handed over a sheet of document to him Duke Brans looked at her in shock once he saw it
“My Lady, where did you get this?”
“Would this be of help?”
Duke Brans gave her a bright smile
“It’s definitely helpful I feel so relieved that it feels like an aching tooth is gone”
Duke Brans was delighted
“I’lad it’ll be of use”
“Truly, thank you If there is anything that I could do to help you, please do not hesitate to tell ave herself a wicked s for those words’
She pondered for a bit before speaking
“This ht be a difficult request but… may I ask?”
“Of course, please speak”
“Then, to be honest…”
Upon hearing Claudia’s request, Duke Brans nodded and admired her
“You really loved your husband”
“He was ”
“I understand I’ll accept your request, My Lady”
Claudia smiled at him from behind her veil
‘Nice That’s half done now’
Duke Brans created a moment for hi you to ht, Duke Brans”
The two perfunctorily greeted each other before Duke Brans got straight to the point
“Princess Leila, as you knoe came to this country to annihilate the vicious Republicans that’s currently occupying the Northern part of your country”
“Yes, and thank you for that Unfortunately, my brother, the one who requested reinforce, is deeply ill that even I, his daughter, cannot see hiretful
“Although I ae of the country’s affairs, it is only tee war in our country, Duke Brans”
This was the very reason why Princess Leila still hadn’t given Duke Brans the perap in that logic, Duke Brans hadn’t been able to convince her and just had to accept that decision
But, things were different now
“There’s no need for you to worry, Princess Leila As you can see here, I have the handwritten document written by His Majesty himself”
Duke Brans handed her the sheet of paper It was officially recognizing the reinforce to the cooperation between the two of theh heseehter-in-law”

‘More like reckless and audacious’
Princess Leila’s words struck home Duke Brans had used the phrase, “a member of the royal faured out it was Claudia
“Yes, she expressed her intentions to join the battlefield in order to fulfill her deceased husband’s will”
This had been Claudia’s request to Duke Brans In order to personally fulfill her husband’s last will, Claudia asked the Duke to allow her to follow him to war
