Chapter 73: She-Devil (2)
Princess Leila hadn’t been able to touch Claudia yet for one reason -- she hadn’t found any solid evidence But once she found that evidence(?), that was the day Claudia’s head would be chopped off by the guillotine
‘Since she also knows that, of course it’ll be uncomfortable to stay in the Capital’
Princess Leila had understood what Claudia was trying to do
‘But… this reed to Duke Brans’ request
“I understand As long as we fordom, ould’ve had to send someone from our country to ith you Like this, I’ll officially delegate Claudia as a liaison”
“Thank you for agreeing toDuke Brans so happy, Princess Leila kneas going on
‘He’s bewitched by her’
If Milton had heard her, he would probably think, ‘do you even have the right to say that,’ but Princess Leila was convinced As a woman of wealth, beauty, and family power, Claudia had always used her status to entrap andbeauty, she was very good at seducing andwith a series of men, Claudia had finally landed on the First Prince But now, the First Prince was dead, and she was once again aihts at another man
‘A dom, a military powerhouse with only three Masters total A man that vixen would see as worthy of her’
And from what Princess Leila could tell, Duke Brans hi not to see it, Princess Leila continued to speak to hiather an arion”
But Duke Brans shook his head
“There’s no need for you to send more men, Princess Leila”
“No, Duke Brans It’s a war fought in our country to reclaiave her a sardonic smile
“I’h he was coaxing a young girl who didn’t understand how to fight a war
“A battlefield without a unified chain of co in men, reinforcement without loyalty is not helpful”
“Ah, is that so?”
“Yes If you truly wished to help, then I would be grateful if you maintained a stable supply line and assisted from the back”
“I see Confusion in the chain of command I didn’t think of that”
Princess Leila
“But I’ht on our land… Ah!”
Princess Leila exclai
“How about we divide the army into two?”
“Princess Leila Divide into two? What do youup north splits into two — the eastern road and the western detour How about we divide the aro in both directions?”
“…That’s not a bad idea”
Duke Brans couldn’t think of a reason to reject her idea It’s not like foreign troops were entering his army to tell him what to do and he couldn’t refuse her when she said they would go fight on a completely different battlefield on a different route He had no reason to stop her
“Then it’s decided Which direction would Duke Brans like to take?”
Duke Brans answered her without hesitation
“We’ll take the East The Western detour seems too narrow to move 50,000 troops”
“Very well Then, we’ll march West”
And so, it was decided that the ardo two different routes
As the sun was setting and twilight was approaching, Milton received a letter from Princess Leila
- Come immediately to the palace If possible, try not to be seen by anyone
Per her directions, Milton wore a robe and made sure his face was covered by the cowl of his robe
“She is waiting, Count Forrest”
Upon arriving at the palace, an attendant discreetly guided hiuided to…
‘You wanted me to come here? Seriously?’
Was Princess Leila’s roouous ti the attention of others…
Entering the bedrooo in?”
It was natural for Milton’s ie directions
“Princess Leila, it’s Count Forrest I’hness”
As Milton opened the door, Princess Leila was looking through some documents
“Please wait a minute I’m almost done”
She looked over a couple hed as she finished
“Are you finished, Your Highness?”
“For now”
Looking at her tired face, Milton spoke
“You look very tired, Your Highness”
“I’ at Princess Leila, Milton was reminded of himself when he only had one day of rest a month He was very familiar with the look of someone as overwhelmed by work and stress It was a look he saw every time he had looked at the mirror in his previous life
‘It’s the first tiht someone could look pretty even with the dark circles underneath their eyes’
Princess Leila walked over to her cupboard and pulled out a bottle of wine and a glass
“I’m tired, so there’s no need for you to…”
Milton was planning to refuse, but…
“Huh? Did you want to drink too, Count?”
‘Then you were planning on drinking alone?’
It seemed like that was her plan
The two sat facing each other across the table
“Do you knohy I call you, Count Forrest?”
“Didn’t you call hness?”
“Yes In this war, I’ difficult, Count Forrest”
“……”
For a ht Princess Leila was like an NPC cal him, “This quest will be very difficult”
