Chapter 203 (1/2)

For the newly ee country known as the Rindarl Union that was only a year and a half old… Well, more technically, it was mostly a ith the Densel Dukedom of the Rindarl Union Since the Rindarl arether with the rebellion of their slave soldiers during their attee Fort Droyan, and the fact that their farthest frontline base as well as Densel's capital Eris suffered a complete loss of all supplies kept there due to fire, Rindarl finally offered their unconditional surrender

Peace negotiations were still ongoing, and it seee of escorting and protecting Arxia's peace ambassador to Densel's capital Arxia was now already circulating stories of how Rindarl finally understood Arxia's truematter to mess with Arxia

Since I had to recuperate from my injuries, I returned to the royal capital much later than the royal army did, and returned to the noble school that still appeared the safena Anyways, at the school now, just about all the students avoided me even more than before, most likely because of stories they heard froain on the battlefield, stories aboutthe war may have spread even further

Well, all those changes were trivial – such as how hter with less hair than before

”Kaldia! It see to school today It's been quite a long while sincethereet them?”

”…………His Royal Highness and Grays are most likely tired from their civic duties I'”

”Nah, rather, if you go, I' too o!”

And so, Eric pulledto form

After Eric returned to noble school and had a few conversations with his father the Archduke, he's remained like this all the time

Did heand believe us to be friends now? Where did his unwillingness to associate with a low-ranked Earl like myself disappear to?

I thought that Eric wanted ative reputation, why did it beco talk with Eric back at Fort Jugfena that I can recall That was it Was that the cause? Doesn't this seee?

What's fena in the first place as a way to punish hihart and to distance him and me from national politics Well, if his relationshi+p with htly due to it, it was not a problem – that ithin my calculations

But instead, not only was Eric not removed fro farme to interact with the crown prince now… For a lack of better words to describe it, I felt like I wastoo many pieces of the puzzle

From what I heard, the rebellion of the enemy slave armies at Fort Droyan see to the royal army

After he was touched by visiting the mentally injured soldiers in the ave the royal ar and encouraging the knights for their honorable service to Arxia Due to his speech, the knights at the frontlines of Fort Droyan avoided combat as much as possible with the enemy slave soldiers, and in some cases even actively protected thereat rebellion

And as a result, all the troops at Fort Droyan returned almost unscathed

Thanks to this being recognized as Eric's accomplishment, while Eric did leave the crown prince's side for a ti speeches to so on veterans' benefits for retired and injured Arxian soldiers, and other such civic duties In fact, it could be said that Eric had gotten closer to the center of national politics as well

I could only s this was all thanks to me I did not plan for it, nor did I expect it

Why did things becos become like this?
