Chapter 83: Ghost Special Corps (3)
After foruard down just a little Viscount Sabian went down to business
“I am sure you are aware, Princess, but the present situation is not looking very favorable for us”
“You may just say it as it is – it’s a disaster It is the truth, after all…”
Princess Leila’s sigh revealed her exhaustion
“This is all due to that monster of the Republic”
Viscount Sabian nodded in agreement
“Truth be told, I too did not expect for the Republics to retain such a h Viscount Sabian did not join in the war effort infor his late teacher, another reason was that he did not see a possibility of the this war This appeared to be a war they would win anyith the enificant a role the Southern ar this conclusion, Sabian turned down Milton’s offer to hold his ine in his wildest dreas would turn out this way
But there was no point in regretting the irreversible past The i was the here and now
“First of all, we cannot summon Count Forrest back to the Capital The reasons are exactly as you say, Princess”
Even if the Capital redofried was allowed to do as he pleased with the rest of the nation Whatthe Capital if the rest of the nation’s infrastructure was destroyed?
On top of that was the more substantial issue of the peoples’ sentidoed by the princes The one royal that was a shi+ning beacon of hope for the people was Princess Leila
In this precarious situation, if Princess Leila neglected the peoples’ suffering and they turned away from her as well, it would be a cause for celebration in the Republic A kingdom that had lost the faith of its people was ideal prey for spreading the ideology of Republicanism Princess Leila ell aware of these facts
Only, the issue was…
“Do you believe that Duke Palan will indeed be able to protect the Capital?”
There was a substantial possibility that Duke Palan and 20,000 troops would not be enough to defend
Viscount Sabian drove the final nail in the coffin for the restless Princess Leila
“No He cannot protect it”
“Hah…”
Princess Leila had expected as h instinctively
“This is tough Real tough”
“The Republican arfried commands has decimated Duke Brans and his 50,000 men with almost no losses In all honesty, it would be safe to presu the Capital, even if he were toon the defense, are close to zero”
“Then whatever shall we do? You would not have soughta counterplan, no?”
Princess Leila put the ball in Viscount Sabian’s court, hipped out aup thole nights without sleep when he realized their predicain with…”
Viscount Sabian pitched the strategy he had prepared in great detail Whenever Princess Leila threw him a question on some aspect of his plan, he replied readily without a hitch
A few hours later, the explanation concluded – and Princess Leila estruck
After listening to Viscount Sabian’s proposal, she felt as if she could see a faint ray of sunlight penetrating through a sky blanketed with dark clouds
“You are a genius”
“Thank you for your appreciation”
“Viscount Sabian, by my name I authorize you with the full powers for this operation Please eive it my all”
The next day
By royal decree, all the citizens in the Lester Kingdohness, what is theof this?”
“Indeed, what has prohness to suddenly evacuate the citizens?”
The siht wind that Princess Leila issued an evacuation order to the common people They could not possibly understand her actions frole
How could she choose now to evacuate the citizens when the ene in at any moment?
In an evacuation, the royals and the nobles wereThey had never heard of the coe scale
Princess Leila retorted nonchalantly
“There is no realthe ene not the only path re for us?”
“Then, is it not the obvious course of action for the people to be left until last, and for the nation’s leadershi+p to retreat first in confidence?”
Princess Leila shook her head
“There is nothing more important to a country than its people I shall evacuate them foremost, and take all the responsibility I e”
The nobles were stunned as Princess Leila answered without a hint of hesitation
‘Is she out of her mind?’
‘Does she have a hero complex?’
‘Women…’
To the nobles, Princess Leila appeared as an out-of-touch child as acting out soure she read – no, more likely some fairytale she had become a little too obsessed with
“Well then, Princess If you have chosen escape, then would it be fine for us to likewise vacate the Capital?”
“Most certainly If you all intend to join h to receiveseparately”
“With all due respect, it seems I cannot take part in your actions, Princess”
With the circu what they were, the nobles became openly disrespectful towards the princess as they were determined to make it out of this alive
Princess Leila frowned at them
