Continental Hero Senki

March 3.

It was on that day that the "withdrawal order" came down from His Highness Emilia.

"There's nothing more we should do. The Silesian embassy will be reopened soon, and our division will withdraw from Carlsbert, leaving only some liaison officers behind."

and.

The post-war process is not yet over. But it's the nascent Carlsbert kingdom's job to do it, not ours.

What the Kingdom of Silesia has obtained in this civil war intervention is a connection between a friendly country called the Second King of Karlsbert and his senior military and government officials, an information network within Karlsbert, a strengthened relationship with the Ostomark Empire and some training in war. Lost are more than 1,800 soldiers of the Kingdom of Silesia. Fortunately, I have done so much damage to the number of participants in the meeting, but I am not happy to let go.

"Mr. Yuzef."

"Ah, yes, Your Highness. What is it?"

"Prepare your evacuation plan and itinerary as soon as possible"

Copy that, sir.

Planning a retreat. Well, the war's over, and it's appropriate, okay?... Ah, but if I withdraw appropriately, won't I dress up? At least you have to dress up where people are. Sounds like a shift to work.

The retreat route... I knew it would be better via Carbina. The Grand Duke may wonder if it is willing to wage a civil war to pull 10,000 generals too far within Silesia. Soon after you leave Karbina, it's the Duke of Krakowski territory.

If I had made various plans of action, for example, the Supplementary Staff of my division came.

"Hey, Yuzef."

"Hey, Radek."

"I don't have any money"

"... Huh?

"Pay the soldiers, no money"

……

"I left Krakow on November 13th, I don't know the withdrawal date, but it's about March 10th when I can go home to Krakow, right? That's about it for four months of salary and assignment allowance, injury allowance, war dead survivor's pension, war wounded retirement pension, etc..."

And, Radek has given me one piece of paper. It is not an official document, and because of the approximate accounting documents, it is very simple, but the number of "0" listed there was not half.

"Then you'll have to manage to secure your budget. Lord Krakowski, Territorial Military Counsellor."

That said, Radek disappeared somewhere.

........................ yeah.

"I don't want to go home..."

After the civil war, I finally went back to my clerical duties. No, it's a good thing it's peaceful. I don't know, I want it to be more rewarding.

And after a while, it was Maya who came under me. They're replacing me with something, but now what? Another troublesome thing has come!?

"Yuzef kun...... what's up? It's strangely dark."

"No, there's nothing. Peace."

"Oh well..."

Mr. Maya was pulling slightly. Apparently, I look pretty weird. I'm confident in my talent for not bringing people in, from my previous life...

"What can I do for you, Mr. Maya, more than that?

"Oh, I did. I forgot. His Majesty Karel called on His Highness and you. Your Highness has already gone under His Majesty Karel."

Now His Majesty Karel brings trouble... Please give me a moment of peace.

Nevertheless, we cannot fail to obey. Your Highness Emilia says, but there's no way a far inferior person can skip it.

"Okay. His Majesty is in the Presidential Palace...... no, is it a temporary royal palace?

"No, I'm coming to this defense command. It's the hall on the ground floor."

"Thank you, I'll be there in a minute"

"Ah. I'll be joining you..."

... Attend? Oh, what do you have?

---

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Karel, Your Highness Emilia. We're late."

"I don't mind, Mr. Yuzef."

"Ah. It's the rest and yours. You don't have to be too afraid."

No, Your Majesty and I shouldn't have had much contact... No, well, okay. I can't blame you for being late.

I, His Highness Emilia, His Majesty Karel and several of his escorts, as well as several high-ranking officers such as Admiral Masaryk, who took the seat of the first commander-in-chief of the remarkable Royal Army, were in the hall on the first floor of the Capital Defense Command. Altogether a little over 10 people. And there's an audience around it. If you look closely, there are Sarah, Radek, Mr. Maya, and Mr. Fine in the audience. What is this?

The first person to open his mouth was the organizer, His Majesty Karel. When His Majesty coughs several times, he greets those gathered. I feel like I said a lot about being busy and suddenly opening it and sorry, but I can't remember.

To sum up, apparently, His Majesty Karel, surprised by His Highness Emilia's withdrawal order, rushed his preparations to hold this meeting. Um, but what place is this? I got an answer as soon as I thought so.

"Now we will perform the Medal Award Ceremony for the heroes who have achieved so much in this Civil War."

At the same time as His Majesty Karel's words, the audience applauded simultaneously.

Medal? Regardless of His Highness Emilia, to me too? Then I wish I could even put it up to Sarah or Mr. Maya or Radek.

"In this civil war, many became heroes. But I'm afraid I don't have enough time to just give them all the medals. So this time, as a delegate, it is a medal awarded to the two heroes here."

Um, yeah, I guess that Emilia's all I need. I didn't do anything. I was just thinking about a mean operation! Because it's amazing who led and executed it on the battlefield. Even if I was in command, I probably wouldn't have.

And I'd like to raise my voice, but I'm afraid I don't have the courage to just say that in front of all this audience. Well, let's think of His Highness Emilia as his own...

"Make the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Silesia, Grand Duke Emilia Silesia, Commander of the Seventh Interim Division of the Royal Karlsbert Army"

"Yes."

Let's start with His Highness Emilia. Is it to say from those with high formats, in order? By the way, His Highness Emilia's official identity is the same "Grand Duke" as Carol, the king's brother. The princess is only a common name, not an official title.

What His Highness Emilia has done is boulder royalty, kick-ass and perfectly determined. Although His Majesty Karel is dressed to bow his head because his format is higher for once, he is quite like him. Subtly uncomfortable just knowing the usual methods of His Highness is probably a distraction or something. Probably around there.

"Archduke Emilia Silesia. Sir led more than 10,000 generals and made a great contribution to the victory of our kingdom. Therefore, I hereby award the Carrovi Valli Silver Lion Medal"

At that moment, the hall turned slightly.

This is something I heard later, but it seems that the Karlovy Valli Silver Lion Medal is the highest medal in the former Karlsbert kingdom. Only three people in history have awarded this medal for everything, that is, the fourth in His Highness Emilia. The effect of this medal is to go to the Duke without question, irrespective of the territory and with a lifetime pension. If he dies, a national burial and a national cemetery will be provided, and all the costs will be the first luxury that the state will have.

but this time His Highness Emilia is a foreigner. Moreover, royalty, it is a delicate matter whether these effects can actually be obtained.

"It also confers on Sir the status of Royal Army General and the position of Honorary Adviser to the Royal Army Commander-in-Chief"

Because Carlsbert does not have the rank of Marshal during the Old Kingdom or the Republic, the Admiral takes the highest place. In any case, His Highness Emilia made a class 4 advance from Colonel to Admiral. Awesome.

His Highness Emilia stepped back beautifully after expressing a single thank you to His Majesty Karel with his head bowed.

"Next, Major Yuzef Waresa, Operations Staff, 7th Extraordinary Division, Royal Karlsbert Army"

"Ha!"

I was called, I go under His Majesty Karel and kneel there.... I haven't been through much of this, but now we're seeing each other, right? You're not wrong, are you? Your Highness Emilia, we'll see. You look...

Apparently, I'm not wrong, and I'm not so bothered with my surroundings. Good.

"Yuzef Waresa. Your honor set up many effective operations in this civil war and contributed to the victory of the kingdom. Therefore, we hereby award the First Class of the War Cross."

I ask His Majesty Karel to keep his head down the little box he has offered me. I don't know if I have this procedure, but, well, I don't think it's disrespectful...

The box had already been opened and the contents were visible. The medal inside depicts a sword crossed in a cross over a cross like the one in the church, and a lion at the intersection of the national chapter of Carlsbert. It's a cool design that really strikes two hearts.

I received the medal so I tried to stay back, but before that His Majesty Karel opened his mouth.

"With the Medal, I give the title of 'Sir' to Lord Waresa and the position of Permanent Director of the Royal Army Staff Headquarters"

...... hmm?

Unexpectedly, I looked up at His Majesty's words. I just heard something I shouldn't listen to right now!?

"Oh, that's... I don't think so..."

I'm not complaining. But the aristocracy is a bit of an alley, isn't it? Besides, I thought it seemed like a pain in the ass to be a permanent director... but he wasn't supposed to say that to me.

"I have nothing to show you. Princess Emilia told me beforehand that she was resistant to such things. But as a king, I don't mind only medals for those who put up martial arts medals. This is all I have left. Well, the title 'Sir' is not the lowest of the nobles and the 'Permanent Director of the General Staff' is also an honorary position. So, will you take it?

Oh, I see... Well, it's true. In the army there must be merit awards and prize imperatives. If I choose not to accept it here, does it make it harder for other people to receive it? If the honorary title means honorary position, it's not too much trouble...

"Thank you, I'll take it"

"Uhm."

In this way, I became a nobleman at one end, albeit an honorary title. "Sir Waresa" doesn't sound right anymore, and it's depressing...
