And Strela returned to the royal castle.Her expression was sharp and irritable, and it was clear to everyone that something was wrong.

There was an aura from her asking her not to talk, but Hermes, who was the government's chief executive, could not pretend not to see it....Even if I didn't want to talk to him, I had to ask him about it.

As a result, Hermes also asked Strela with a sharp expression.

"What happened to the soldiers in Ecleria?I heard Sakura say that there are 200,000 enemies in total and 100,000 of them are trying to escape into this country? "

Strela, on the other hand, couldn't ignore the question from Hermes because she was upset, so she explains the situation very briefly after exhaling.

"Did you get it from everyone?"

Strela's response and her expression.Having judged them all together, Hermes roughly understood what had happened.I was treated badly when I went to see the Eclarian fugitives in a princess costume (dress) that I didn't want to come because I was too cramped.

"(I don't know how, but you destroyed them all...)"

I wonder if they sent him back to Ecleria.Incidentally, Strella used her potentials to attack the Eclesians, but after the potentials were opened up to Strella, she returned to Mid Eden on her own.

Hermes, who heard a short explanation from Strela, seems to have been able to grasp the situation in general, but since the whole country was transitioning to the wartime system, I take a confirmation just in case.

"So, are you sure you want to decide that the threat has left?We have to inform the people. "

The fact that the Eclarian soldiers have returned without crossing the border means that we can solve the wartime system and return to normal conditions...Hermes had no choice but to rely on Strela, who knew more accurately than anyone what was happening in the territory, while the military in the Kingdom of Mercrio was struggling to gather information.In the first place, the wartime system was also prompted by a report from Strela's men, so we also had to rely on information from Strela's men to de-alert.

Alternatively, although judging policy based on information from the military department was one of the means, the military department itself seems to have given up gathering information as quickly as possible in the middle of the situation because it is unable to go to the strela with overwhelming speed of information.Rather, it appears that the military itself has recently moved on the basis of information from the Strellars.In other words, Strela was in a situation where the state of the country was determined by how she would respond.

Strela didn't seem to know she was in that position.She is the head of power independent of the government.I wasn't interested in what kind of system was in place within the government.Rather, should I say that I didn't want to stick my neck in every trouble?

"That's right...."

Strela answered Hermes' question once, but opened her mouth again and corrected it.

"But do you think it's a good idea to go back to normal altogether? I think 100,000 people have crossed the border all of a sudden, and I think there's been quite a coup d 'état in Eclaria."

"Now, lower your alert level, but maintain the quasi-war system."

"Yeah, I don't know what the rules are, but that's fine."

And Strella left Stasta and the scene just to say what she wanted to say.Maybe she should have been a little more involved in the country's politics.

After all, if the quasi-war system remains in place, there will be a major obstacle to her "plan".
