I Said Make My Abilities Average!

240 Viscount Askham Territory 9

"Hey, what is it!

Led by the Royal Brandell Army, His Royal Highness Prince Adalbert opened his eyes with amazement.

"Yes, as I just said, I was protected by a goddess who manifested herself. The lady of our Askham family, for the sake of the inhabitants, even after she died..., uhh..."

Report in tears, Commander of the Askham Leadership, Juneau.

The pursuit of the Imperial Army is entrusted to the Wang Du Army and the other leaders of the Territory, who remain in the Territory for the defence of their own territory and the restoration of damage, the support of the inhabitants who have been vandalized villages and fields, etc., and are dispatched to each village. And those commands were left to his men, and Juneau was reporting to His Royal Highness Prince Wang.

Adalbert left the pursuit of the Imperial Army to his subordinate generals and remained in the territorial capital of Askham territory.

There are various reasons why Adalbert was to lead this army.

To show the empire how serious the kingdom is, that Prince Wang leads the army in an immediate counterattack. And to take full command of each Lords Army. Poor could have squeaked around some Marquis house, but just as Adalbert would have commanded, he wouldn't have made an extra mouth or tried to take the lead.

And an easy job, crushing the Imperial Army with a few times as much force as it would not have intended until a full-scale invasion. Moreover, it is a battle to save the invaded border territory and protect the national territory. It was a great role for foiling Adalbert, who had no experience in action, with both a big name and support from local lords.

Therefore, even if he was injured on such a mission, he could not be allowed to take the lead in the pursuit, which meant that he would 'take command from the territorial capital of the protected Askham', but was heard there, a hell of a story.

No, I didn't take it into account at all.

If this had been any other noble territory, as the imperial side had predicted, it would have taken the procedure not to hold emergency marches in a state of great haste and unprepared, but to be more carefully prepared and to root for a joint front by appealing plenty of imperial acts of aggression to the nations.

It was when he heard the report of the invasion of the Empire that the king, who was surprised but still showing room, moved badly and disturbed as soon as he heard the place of the invasion.

And immediately suspend the emergency march on the spot without holding a meeting. Nor does it listen to others......

Normally, prime ministers, ministers and senior nobles, who are supposed to complain about such arbitrariness, even if they are kings, for some reason nodded simultaneously, without anyone opposing them, and immediately issued an emergency dispatch order for the Wang Metropolitan Army, that is, the national army under the direct authority of the King, and a royal decree of dispatch against each Lords Army.

Whatever the crisis in the kingdom is, if it is about the extent of the cuts in the territory, it is not such a stuffed situation for the parties, that is to say those in that territory or those other than the lords adjacent thereto.

Of course, we want to fight back and drive back and, if possible, vice versa, cut off the territory of the other, because even if we leave it, it will be twitchy and invaded, but that is not so hasty, and for the lords of far-flung places, we want to keep the wasted expenses as low as possible and to keep to the over-acceptable, minimal troop contribution required.

If you are far away, at best you will receive a prize later, not that the territory will expand separately, nor can you expect the possibility of ascending the throne due to merit. So the reaction to the royal fate was dull, reluctant for various reasons… but somehow the leading nobles led the electric optical stone fires, the standing armies, to start one emergency dispatch after another.

The other nobles, who found out about it and, as usual, were dull, followed in a hurry. Although I don't know why, if we don't get soldiers out here, something's wrong. That much cannot be perceived, and nobility cannot do it.

And Adalbert, of course, knew the circumstances. No matter how many goddesses have stopped talking, no matter how many witnesses there are, it will also appear those who speak. Those in need of money, those with high loyalty to their superiors, and those who sweetly thought that the divine punishment of a warm looking goddess would be no big deal, etc...

Of course, Adalbert's knowledge of the circumstances is one of the reasons why he was entrusted with the command of the army. Because of the distance, he did not see the earlier miles well, nor did he receive that voice amplified by air vibration, but Adalbert responded greatly to the word 'goddess'.

(Goddess, and daughter of the Askham family! I found it, with the patronage of the goddess, Yiyo (more so), the witch Adele!!

The commander of the leadership seems to think that Adele is dead, but of course Adalbert does not. My daughter, who housed the goddess in her body, could not have died so easily.

(Now our country gets the protection of the goddess via the witch Adele...)

"Lady Mabel was certainly an innocent woman worthy of being a goddess, but I didn't know you thought that much of us..."

"Huh? Isn't the name of the Askham family's daughter Adele?

"Huh? That's the name of Miss Mabel's son, who went missing. As a goddess, she died, her mother, Miss Mabel."

"Huh...... Oh, oh, the figure remained Adele, and her body was moved possessively by her mother, Mabel, who became a goddess..."

That's what I thought and convinced Adalbert. But.

"No, you still look like Mabel..."

"Huh? So what about that daughter, Adele?

"Dear Adele, a year and a half ago she hid herself from Wang Du's school and stayed..."

"Huh..."

Then, after interviewing some of the Goddess's witnesses, who had worked at the Askham family for many years until four and a half years ago, everyone held their mouths together and said, "That was definitely Miss Mabel. When the lady was the cutest, it stayed that way. And we transcended our common sense, that word and deed. There's no way such a woman could be anything but Miss Mabel! 'I testified.

Yes, until the age of eight, Adele only had contact with the nanny and the babysitter maid or so, except for her family, and after the loss of her mother and grandfather, both the nanny and the babysitter maid were laid off and another hired, and those who looked after them were 'daughters of the Askham family, Prissy', and none of them had contact with Adele.

Later, it was Prissy who was introduced externally as the daughter of the Askham family, and the Adele thing faded from everyone's memory. Even those who knew that Prissy was not the orthodox successor could hardly remember the face of a girl who had only seen it a few times from afar years earlier.

And the dismissed nanny left the territorial capital and the babysitter maid was also married to another town, so she was not included in the interview.

But Mabel was different.

Two names, Mabel Lady in the Flower Garden all year round, Mabel the Girl Who Can Be Happy Just Watching, Mabel the Grandmother, the Child Who Thinks There's No Clapping, and Tampo Daughter, no, Mabel, with many aliases, left too strong an impression on many of the inhabitants. Especially in an era called 'Lady Mabel's, the Wandering Period in the Territory' around the age of 12-13, whose appearance and behavior.

And Miles, until he was about eight, wasn't, but then he looked very much like Mabel. Of course, including its stunning silver hair, which is often expressed in women in the Askham family….

And because his father and stepmother incinerated him, Adele's figure painting is not left behind. Decorated instead are all the figure paintings of my sister-in-law, Prissy, who hastily made a young painter rush out to paint many.

... In other words, seeing what Miles, or Adele, looks like now, the only person that people in Askham territory think of was' Miss Askham, Mabel von Askham '.

Grown up? Married? That doesn't matter.

For the people of Askham territory, Mabel was' Mabel Lady 'no matter how old she was.

And now, 'Goddess, Miss Mabel'.

He was not alone, such as one who doubted that the goddess he manifested to protect Askham territory was Lady Mabel. Including those who witnessed it at close range.

And Adalbert, who thought he had confirmed the location of Adele von Askham, the goddess' successor, was confused.

(Huh? Did you show up here differently than Adele? Is it a mother named Mabel who lives in Adele's place? Or did the mother who became the goddess ask you to protect her daughter, the other goddess?

I don't know! How can I tell...)

"By the way, Mr. Mavis. Among the flags of the Royal Brandell Army that were approaching the territorial capital was the royal flag..."

"Oh. As someone who aspires to be a knight, exactly, no matter how many other countries, you can't go wrong with the royal flag.

His Majesty himself can lead the army, I don't think it's a so-called 'parental march', but princes and brothers Wang, quite a few of them should lead the Wang Metropolitan Army and be commanders of all armies. "

Mavis answered Miles' question confidently.

"Duh, how could you do that..."

"I don't know. Me and Pauline, that's never going to happen, I'd say...

But there's no mistake. That was, for sure, a royal crest. This Mavis, hanging in his own name, I assure you!

"Huh..."

To Mavis' words, miles to end.

No, it's not like you don't believe what Mavis said. In Miles' head, something else was swirling.

(Oh, the royal crest...... Me, Dear Menvis......)
