What I recall is the voice of the people who came to the Duke of Almeria for help, abandoning the territory they once inhabited from the food catastrophe.

Their screams, which I heard when I inspected the inquest, are now creeping into my head.

And that triggered it, and I felt like I heard voices in my ears asking for help from the people of the East that didn't sound real.

... don't cower, I scold me.

Even now, people are asking for help.

Because when you block your ears to the voices of the people, and stop thinking, it is the people who make that sacrifice.

"... Lyle. Leave at least a guard force in the north and south, and everything else should rally to send them to the east! Keep moving the command to Dida. Dida will destroy the mob. Tanya asks Dida to convey this instruction as soon as possible"

The two of them nodded silently at my words.

I look at it and then exhale softly to get my breath ready.

"The Lord's greatest duty is to protect the lives of his inhabitants. … if the inhabitants are in crisis, any hand must be used to stop it"

I spinned my words, as I said to my body, which still had a slight tremor.

To my words, the three people who were starting to move stop moving for a moment.

"If anyone gets in the way of this, I will allow it to be completely eliminated under my full responsibility. Though this powerless self will not make it to your head to run the battlefield... still, my heart is always with you. And as lord's deputy, let's take all the responsibility and show them what they deserve."

Pin and the three stretched their spines.

"" "I'm in awe, ma'am" "

And as soon as the three of them utter their words in a different tone, they begin to move.

"Then, Sebastian. Send two or three men over from each department. I'll set up an immediate response team. Bring everything you need to know about the East in the future."

"Yes!

Sebastian seemed to move quickly after that.

In just a few moments, I adjusted my personnel, and there was a selection team right under me for this one.

"… Lady, the transmission has been completed to the guards everywhere. We will now begin our journey east."

"Fine. Keep going. Don't forget to work with Tanya's men who have the transmission."

"Yes."

"Sebastian. Get confirmation from your medical guild and arrange for a doctor immediately. Then, ask the commercial guild to cooperate." If you don't want to crush an important port, help me, "but tell him."

"Or, I'm in awe"

"And what about arranging the barracks and providing assistance to the damaged people?

"We've already moved it and are ready to leave at any time.... I just chopped it up at a meeting the other day so I could secure it"

"That's good news. Coordinate with Lyle in charge of shipping. Early rendezvous with the guards so that transport can also be guarded"

"I'm in awe"

At the corner of the mansion, a bunch of people are busily moving around.

"Ha, my God!

One from the outside, the consular officer came in screaming.

Now what the hell... and I'm surprised to hear the rest of it silently.

"Suddenly an unidentified ship broke into the eastern harbour… and armed groups began to occupy the harbour as it was"

"... I wonder what that means?

Sin...... and the noisy indoors until earlier, quiet back.

My voice, lower than I thought on the spot, sounded terrible.

"I thought it was only a matter of time before the eastern city is attacked..."

Everyone and he blued their faces to the words that went on.

"The things behind it may be the same. They must have attacked us when the east was in a state of confusion... because now both the head that gives instructions and the arm that protects the land are out of function"

To Lyle's words, I nod.

"Just in case, Tanya. Send one of your men to report the details of their armed group's characteristics."

"I'm in awe"

... to his good reply, I exhaled for a moment.

At all times, we would have dealt with the suspicious ship at the time we found it.

However, neither the bureau where the instructions are to be given, nor the guard units operating to carry them out and protect the people, are functioning at all.

I guess that's why I easily allowed that.

"The kingdom of Twile and the kingdom of Acacia may be working hand in hand behind them."

Everyone blued their faces even more to my speculation.

... Me too, yes.

I never imagined the Kingdom of Acacia would attack the Duke of Almeria.

There is no definite evidence yet... but if that is correct, nothing but the worst.

Whatever, the Kingdom of Acacia is a great power.

With the two ships now occupying the harbor, the possibility arises that they are merely vanguards.

"... may I, my lady?"

All those who are here look at me as they ask.

Though I was prepared...... really, heavy.

Making a verdict that people are dying alive is more than you can imagine.

But that sentiment immediately goes to the other side, and I immerse myself in thought.

Honestly, I need time to think.

... but if you say such a long thing, the East is in danger.

Although I would like to get confirmation behind it, I spare no time to let the Kingdom of Acacia explore and wait for the report.

Of course, let it be, too.

"... Lyle"

"Yes."

"Bring your own troops and join Dida."

"But..."

Unusual for Lyle, he had puzzled emotions on his face in the open.

"It's a shame to have the power of one. Besides, if you lead, the team will do its part."

"So... what do you do with your protection?

"If I don't pop up, even the remaining guards will be able to protect me enough. If you have to, Tanya will be there."

In Tanya's name, Lyle seemed convinced at first.

But there is still a stray in those eyes.

"... Lyle. You told me before, didn't you?" Let me protect every thought of me, "he said.

If I told him so, he looked up hah.

"I'm sorry. In jeopardy, I was somewhere different from that day's vow.... Tanya, lady, please."

To his words, Tanya nodded forcefully.

"... time is a waste. Please excuse me for leaving at once. Any additional instructions?

"No. I will transfer all authority in the field to you. I'll take care of all the attendant responsibilities, so you can move as you wish."

"I'm in awe. Let's make a move that was in your trust. Now, if you'll excuse me."

And when he had said so and thanked him, he went away from the scene with complacency.

I pray for good luck as I drop off his back.

"Oh, lady...... Will you be all right, Mr. Lyle?"

That's what Lehme asked me in tears.

She, too, has been dating him since he was a young girl...... she must be pretty worried.

"We do what we can to make sure it's okay."

"But..."

"Leme."

Though she called her name just to say that no further questions were necessary, she wouldn't pull it off.

"... then let me go with him too!

I am flabbergasted by her suggestion for a moment.

"I would understand Acacia Mandarin. Besides, we store a lot of information about that country in books. If we can negotiate with the armed groups that have emerged, I'm sure it will help."

"... a very attractive suggestion, Leme. That's a no."

I dismissed her proposal without getting lost.

"Duh, why are you..."

Polo and she seeps in tears.

"You can't even protect yourself, can you? Even if you go like that, you'll just be their toe.... you know, Leme."

I dared speak harshly and told him to push it away.

"Sorry......"

Though we tried to stare at each other for a while and fought silently, Leme eventually broke better.

"I'm sorry, Leme"

If it's me, I want to go directly.

I want to go and get a real-time picture of the situation on the spot and give instructions.

... I feel sorry for myself for not being able to do that.

But I have something I can only do…

"... I'll send out a request for support to the National Army immediately."

"Or, I'm in awe"

"Then I give you my protégé to the kingdom of Acacia"

"So, but lady. The involvement of the Kingdom of Acacia is not yet definitive…"

"Of course, I'm not asking you directly yet. Just let it smell.... Isn't that something else strange? I'm exchanging letters with him."

Nevertheless, when writing a parent book, I inscribe on my mind that I have to be careful not to let my emotions explode......

If you write as you are in this mood right now, you'll be full of words to stuff them.

"That's right..."

"And Tanya. Unhelpful wishes... can your men explore information in the Acacia?

"Um, actually..."

To my inquiry, Tanya says just a few words.

After all, was it an abrupt and unscrupulous wish... at that moment when bitter thoughts spread to my heart.

"We have already placed our men in the Kingdom of Acacia and have them look for information"

To the exact answer, I was delayed for a moment.

"... you're ready, aren't you?

"It's arbitrary... because there was something about the lady. When the marriage story came out, I had already sent some to King Acacia, the country. Right now, we're just waiting for the information to come around."

I didn't expect that engagement story to fall like this.

... Nevertheless, Tanya's judgment is excellent.

"As soon as the information comes in, report it to me."

"Absolutely."

"... lady. Requests for support from the National Army are good, but will we be able to secure the personnel to be sent here in this battlefield?"

Sebastian's question was something I was afraid of, too.... Nevertheless, I have no hands not to put out.

As it is, it is militarily overwhelmingly disadvantaged.

However, it shall not be used as a sign of request.

Even if you grab straw when you drown, you'll have to drown.

... think. Think.

I move my head desperately. Various... proposals that didn't seem like proposals disappeared from my mind.

I can't turn my head at all because of the rush.

"What shall we do…" and "What shall we do…" seemed to wander into the maze of thought.

For a moment, I slowly exhaled as I meditated my eyes, emptying my head.

Then again, I entrust consciousness to a wave of thought.

Now while organizing the problems and purposes well to avoid drowning.

"The Duke of Almeria is a farther away land than the Twilight Nation... but we don't know what happens in times of war. Assuming the fire of strife flies, you must call my mother. '

Second, your mother's words passed in my head.

That's it...! And, I mouth a proposal that came to mind.

"... through your mother, I would ask the Anderson Marquis for support"

The Guards of the Marquis Anderson family are a bent soldier trained by your grandfather.

I hear everyone's level of training is one of the best in the country.

"But, ma'am. It is forbidden to send troops to other territories at will in this country."

I immediately waited for it from the Law Department's consular officer.

"Through your mother, you said? I can't help but bring many escorts back to this territory where your mother is in danger."

Still a pretty close grey zone to black though.

"I'll report to the First Prince. I'll take responsibility for it, whether it's an ex post facto consent or this or what they say."

I don't think Dean would say anything.

… but if anyone around it has said it anyway, I should take responsibility.

If being one of mine helps the people, it doesn't have to be the best for me.

"I'll be writing to you soon. In the meantime, everyone, gather sequential information and deal with it! Protecting the people, whatever you put it in, will be your priority."

"Yes, I'm in awe"

When I put a drink in everyone, I went back to the study and wrote to them as declared.

Ask your mother and uncle, the head of the Anderson Marquis, for help and clarification.

A letter to the kingdom of Acacia that suppresses its fierce feelings and makes you smell like you're already holding the back of this incident, though it's unusual.

Ask the military for a full explanation and support.

And finally, a letter to Dean.

Second, my hand stops while I'm writing to Dean.

… how is he doing?

Think so... but the next moment, I mock myself that the question is stupid.

He's fighting again, I guess.

Just like me...... no, take more responsibility than me.

When I got back to the territory, I repeatedly called 'Dean' over and over again to shut my mouth.

It had become the earliest habit, that.

He was always there for me when it was hard, when it was hard.

... That would be why.

I wish he was on his side... how many times did you think you wanted to be on his side?

... what a weakened thing.

And what a so-so unconcerned thing.

Didn't we decide that day? Turning in the same direction, but on a different path.

Yes, I thought you chose.

... Now, yes.

If you spoil yourself and move on to the easier one, it's the same as breaking everything you've ever built while suffering and scratching.

That's why running away, sweetening... I will not allow myself more than anyone else.

I was stopping. Move my hand, write a letter.

Not in the words of 'Iris', but as' Lord's Agent of the Duke of Almeria '.
