Dusk Groundwater

"Look, Julia, the last thing in the world to be involved with is the cigarette that Julia was carrying."

"Yes, yes. And no cheating, no incest, no infidelity, Julia."

"... that's a lot"

In the Wangdu underground sewer, Yulia had been taught the top 10 things in her life by Radek and Ilia.

By its side, Maya and Henrik discuss their future policies.

"So, Maya, what are we going to do?

"… First and foremost, I release His Highness Emilia and His Majesty Franz from the hands of the Grand Duke. And gather the loyalties of the old kings and neutrals who are still unable to determine their position. I think it's a good idea."

Although it is often misunderstood in the Wang capital Shironsk and the territorial capital Krakow because the Grand Duke is completely dominant, at this point the Grand Duke's insurgency was still halfway there. You should go as far as half the plan.

That can be explained by the fact that it takes time to clearly spread information from the edge to the edge of a wide Silesian territory.

There was the fact of the rebellion, no reform, and the king and the princess were detained and the Grand Duke held real power.

It will take time for this to be communicated to each territorial nobleman. In fact, even at this time, the nobles of the border still did not grasp everything depending on what was going on. Some believed that the Grand Duchy was in full power, while others believed in the rumor that there had been large-scale fighting in the King's capital and that there was a state of civil war.

Naturally, it would take even longer if it were at the civilian level.

I just know that there was a rebellion by the Grand Duke.

Maya decided that she had no choice but to take advantage of the 'jet lag'.

But there is no doubt that certain facts made it difficult to implement it. Henrik pointed out sharply there.

"... I know that's all I have, but I don't have an ally in the King's Capital at the moment. Plus, there's a heavy town of kingship aristocrats in jail, and their movements are pretty dull."

Yes, the Mayas have too few allies. Only five people are surely on the King's Capital at the moment as allies: Maya, Henrik, Ilia, Radek and Julia.

"This is all the power… it is impossible to rescue His Majesty and His Highness in the number of people who do not even know if I can say it is a force of war"

"... right"

All this was a reality Maya had to admit.

But it is also true that there is no other way.

"We just have to... because that's the only option we have"

He made a fist in front of his chest, and Maya has to swear in agony. Inside of it, I'm struck by my powerlessness.

Oh, how can I not be the daughter of the Duke's house, this is also helpless? and.

But so much so that she was forever held captive to self-blame there, she was not powerless.

"If you can't save both Your Majesty and Your Highness... if you just save one side, even the five of us can still handle it"

"Can you handle it? There are people upstairs who gave it to the Grand Duke. At least three regiments, huh?

Henrik's words are correct.

But on the other hand, it's wrong. That is also because he is an expert in policing and not a military expert.

Maya didn't listen to Henrik.

"'You must not fight on the battlefield of your opponent', Lord Henrik"

What I heard instead was a voice that sounded in my head. Once learned at the cadet school, it is the voice of alumni and the voice of warriors.

"... what?

"Lord Henrik. What's the role of the Wang Du Defense Division?

"It is... literally the defense of the King's capital"

"Specifically?

"Specifically or nothing...... Wangdu Defense Division is an army in the defense of Wangdu. Nothing more or less."

Henrik is right, the Wangdu Defense Division is an army for the Wangdu Defense.

Then if you are asked "what is the army" you will return an answer that is roughly "an organization that exists to defend your country from external enemies".

It is precisely in that part that Maya found the winning opportunity.

"The Wangdu Defense Division is an army, not a policing organization. That's the job of the National Police. The rebellion suppressed the police headquarters and placed them under the jurisdiction of the army, but that's not why the Wang Metropolitan Defense Division suddenly became a police station from the army, is it?

"... I mean this, Maya. In this king's capital, do you even riot? It is true that dealing with riots in downtown is not the job of the Wang Metropolitan Defense Division, but of our National Police. But not the five of us..."

"I guess it won't work"

Maya takes over Henrik's words.

But then she pinched the backward conjunction and went on like this.

"So what we do is not 'riot'. It's" Boya "at best."

That's it, Henrik understands.

But at the same time, I understood that there was still a great danger. But even then, for Maya, she said, "It's a big danger, but it means there's a chance of success."

"Which way, we have no other way. High risk is your best bet."

"So is that..."

Henrik was convinced, rather than broken.

I just had to break it.

"Lord Henrik, I have something to check on. Which way does the Duke Rosenstock family go?

"As a nobleman, it is only natural to swear allegiance to His Majesty the King."

"- Then let's do it before the king takes his place."

That being said, Maya spoke to Julia and the others, who apparently finished talking about life.

"Julia, is it possible to go to the Chancellery or the House of Wise Men without going out on the ground?

"This is where it starts. You'd better."

"If I can go, I'll be fine. We have to move even on the ground. - Lord Radek."

"What?

"Is the Novak Chamber of Commerce open?

"We're open 365 days. I don't know about the rebellion. This way."

"Then I have an order. I want an escape carriage and your men."

"Ouch. I'll make it cheaper for a friend."

"Thank you."

Ask Henrik, Julia and Radek for help. And just to say it's natural, I heard and accepted Maya's words without anyone hating her.

And finally, Maya turns back to Ilia.

"See? What? I'm telling you, you don't have the power of a private house, you don't have the power of money, do you? Your father is in a prison of great admiration..."

"I'll let you go someday. All I'm asking is for Ilia to do it."

"What I can only do is develop new magic..."

"Exactly. Right there."

Maya smiles and tells her it's in Ilia.

Ilia then said,

"- I see. I've been seeing you publicly."

"That's the thing. Can you ask for it?"

"Of course. Me and Senior Rosenstock and I will show you the fruits of another effort!

That's what I said, Ilia held her fist.

Having confirmed it, Maya declares it to everyone.

"Before the noise in the police station spreads, I act. Not as a daughter of the Duke's family, but as a responsible person, as a friend of His Highness Emilia. So... so I want you to help me."

No one uttered a word to that word of Maya.

I just snorted hard and hard.

The first battle was about to take place in the rebellion that broke out in the Kingdom of Silesia.
