Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

'... Finally, the Twilight Nation has raised its soldiers. The war begins.'

Mother's words stained my head white.

... so it was.

"Mother...... is that true?

What made you ask such a lame question?

Mother laughs bitterly at me for it.

"I can't help but think so. Unfortunately, it's true. A report has come to your father that the Twile National Army has made a move. Your father is now going to the Royal Palace to confirm his future correspondence... no, you're not. I'm just getting ready to go. Perhaps they will leave tomorrow."

"So soon!

"They say the Twill Nation moves faster than they thought. The longer you go out, the heavier the load on Baron Messy. And if we get past Baron Messy's defense, we can't defend our territory with the power of the western realms today. I'll be in King's Landing in no time. That's why we have to hurry. Even if you can't, you'll push it through. If it's your father."

"... I see"

Where I don't know, the world keeps going.

And that big wave will move this country in one direction even if it responds or not.

I thought about my future movements in my head.

"Will your father stay in the King's capital?

"Right. Even though he's a prime minister... now he hasn't recovered enough to withstand the long journey."

"... yes, right"

"It's probably about your husband, so you'll be caged in the royal palace for a while. To perform the full role of Chancellor. No matter how much I stop..."

Mother lay her eyes down lonely for a moment.

"... Mother..."

"... you can't help but say something stupid, can you? I respect your husband."

But at the next moment, he smiled, saying the same thing to his temper.

"So, what will Iris do?

"… I will return to my territory as originally planned"

"Oh..."

You were surprised by my response, your mother is keeping an eye out.

"If everyone stays in the King's Capital, I'd better return to the realm. When it comes to what I can do here, gathering information. Then you can even get it from your father or Bern. I have still left a lot of work in my territory to come to Wang Capital, and there will be a lot more I can do to get back to my territory before I rock on this one. It is disturbing in this situation that no one with the right to decide is in the territory, and we will need to prepare for unforeseen circumstances."

"... yes. Then, Iris."

Mother listening to my words with a soft expression, but the moment she opened her mouth, she changed into a gallery.

That's a face I've never seen before.

Scary serious about it.

The anger that once brought Bern down at the Duke of Almeria's house was also horrible, but for some reason I feel more horrified now.

"The territory of the Duke of Almeria is a farther away place than the Twile Nation, but... we don't know what happens in times of war. If there's anything like a fighting fire, you must call my mother."

Tilt your inner neck to your mother's words.

When it comes to contention, I call your mother...?

Although I do hear from my aunt that her mother is strong, and I feel like Rudy said something like that... honestly, I can't imagine where your mother is on the battlefield, etc.

I just couldn't ask any more questions.

That's how much pressure I felt from my mother.

"... ok. I will."

To that reply of mine, it seemed that your mother had finally relieved me of the tension.

When I command Tanya to remain in charge, I go to my room once and calm my mind.

... Finally, the time has come when I was afraid...

Dear Ed and the Marquis Maelia and a party of them were captured.

And perhaps Dean had already rushed to build a new system.

Whatever it is, one of his factions has a pool of talented people, even if they are not highly qualified.

Instead, it's even possible that he was going on with it under the water more than before that captive play.

But when it comes to domestic peace, there is still not enough time.

Speaking of salvation, the army would have had a strong tie headed by your grandfather.

Even a violent device in times of need wouldn't be laughable to sneer and not be able to move.

As it were, I don't know what would have happened to Ed if he had stood at the top.

"... lady. All orders have been completed."

Tanya, who came in with the knocking noise in the room, reported so.

"Oh, you're fast enough, huh?

"We were already getting ready."

... Speaking of which, I was originally going to go home after the meeting.

Though there are too many things that are completely out of my memory.

"Then I'll hurry back to the realm.... and before that. Call everyone."

Tanya nodded at my words and immediately moved out.

I guess she's also guessing that something nasty is going on.

Immediately, before me gathered Lyle and Dida, who had asked the King's Capital to come with them.

"... I'll just go straight to it. There will be war. with the Twile Nation."

To my words, everyone sharpens their eyes.

"I will return to my immediate territory and respond to this emergency.... things are going faster than I thought"

"... in your opinion that the Duke of Almeria also has some influence?

"Yeah, definitely first"

Without getting lost, I affirmed.

At the same time, I feel the pin and the tension on this occasion have increased.

Now that's terribly comfortable.

"Of course, I hope your grandfather triumphs at all costs. But whatever happens, it's not weird. … even if there is no direct battle for it, it will have an impact. Because war terrorizes the hearts and minds."

Three people nodded at my words.

"... it is in such a situation that I, who will take the lead, must show the way. I have to look like I'm gonna keep standing in any turbulence.... at full speed, I'm leaving."

That's how we immediately returned to our territory.
