It was December 30th, when we returned to the King's Capital, that the year 419 of the Continental Calendar would come to an end.

Both the second and third principals have already gathered their forces in the vicinity of the king's capital, with a one-touch, immediate air.

Fortunately, the streets were not sealed off, but it has a dangerous atmosphere, such as when I return I see a large army of third princes in the distance, in which all the guards of the Negroste Count dispatch who found the flag of the House of the Duke of Barna are murdered.

Usually this time of year is busy preparing for a festival to celebrate a new year, but that's just not the case this year, and the whole city is surrounded by tingling air.

So half of all the Counts of Negroste who went to the Duke of Pharos with us stayed as our escort.

It's really where I want to go back to the mine, but I hear security is getting worse in the province because each lord collects most of the leadership around the Wang Capital.

The road to the mine is no exception, and it is not a major street, so the information is that it is insecure.

Even to hire escorts, the vast majority of adventurers who can fight are employed by some nobleman as an aid to the army, or by the Great Chamber of Commerce as escorts and no one.

It was just impossible to get the Negroste family to send me to the mine, so I had to stay in the Wang capital.

Eina went to the King's Capital Mansion at the Count's house to deliver the report and the money she received, so I get information from Listella.

According to that, both the second prince and the third prince have already left the royal castle and are forming with their respective supporting forces on the outskirts of the king's capital.

The princess, who has four, also says that the top three, who are already married, are in the house of their wives, and the only one beside the king is the fourth princess, who is their youngest daughter.

The two princes are waiting to begin the battle to signal the king's death. I think it's an in-depth story about leaving his father on the floor of death, brotherhood and strife, what a business (let's say), but is that what it is to be in power?

If so, I don't want to be much......

What a subtle feeling, but Eina, back from the Count's mansion, said, 'Looks like you made it,' and he didn't even care. It's really dry, isn't it, this girl? Except about your sister.

Most of all, Mr. Listella and the people of Wang Capital feel more or less alike, and all they care about is worrying about which one will prevail and whether they will not be harmed.

Since the identity system is strict, there may be a sense of talking on the cloud, such as the royal contention.

... two days after we returned to Wangdu. While most of the shops were closed, information came in that there was a big move in the Third Prince faction as I was celebrating the New Year by eating the whisper but delicious dishes my sister had made for me with food from the buyout.

Most of the nobles with territories in the south and southeast left the formation, and the Duke of Barna, the ally, also returned half of his army to self-rule, he said.

Eina says, 'The Duke of Pharos must have moved for me. But it is surprising that the Duke of Barna also turned half his army south, thinking that he would let the nobles of the South deal with it alone. Lord Faros seems to have moved quite a few large armies'.

Apparently the information that the Allied Lord has returned half of his army to his own territory was quite a shock to the Third Prince nobility, and some troops are running and floating upset.

In fact, he's not returning to his own territory, he's probably confronting the army of the Duke of Pharos in the South, but he's spreading rumors that the Second Prince is' returning to his own territory '.

Apparently, the Duke of Barna immediately denied the rumors, but in order to dispel his suspicions, he had to explain that the Duke of Pharos had mobilized a large army to become a second prince, which seems to have greatly diminished his morale.

I know that's true when it comes to intelligence warfare, but if you think it's a good idea to do it, it seems to have been Eina's dedication.

I hadn't appraised it in a long time and it was a ploy LV3. I wonder where this kid is going......

Then three more days later, on the morning of October 5, 420, continental calendar. On that day, which was originally the last day of the festival to celebrate the New Year, the royal castle announced the fall of the king.

At the same time, he declared that the third prince would take office as the next king, and entered a state of battle with the second prince who would not recognize it.

All the escorts dispatched by the Count Negroste family have gone on a different mission because the battle has begun, and we are gathered at the Listella Chamber of Commerce to watch where the battle goes while being protected by the escorts hired by the Listella Chamber of Commerce.

They say the battle is taking place in the south of the Wang capital, but if you stay away a little bit because it is a world without gunpowder or anything, you will not hear a sound or anything at all.

It's just that the creepy quiet covered the king's capital.

If you're in a state of war, there's no TV or radio, of course, so you don't come in with real-time information or anything.

We have regular orders from the Count Negroste family, so the information is faster, but it was still up to date half a day ago.

According to that information, the war situation immediately after the start of the war seems to be backsliding.

Though quite a few troops have been lost, I guess the Second Prince fights pretty well to say that they are mutually reinforcing with the Third Prince, who still beats the Force.

Listella also seems to be collecting information from various locations personally, but the information is extremely confusing. They're both trying to get information out that their own troops are dominant.

As far as I was concerned, my sister cooked the meal as usual, and the only reassuring ingredient I didn't warn her about was anything.

The lack of information and just waiting makes me very anxious.

"... Eina, are you okay?

Even Eina doesn't know (or should know), but she asks me that unexpectedly.

but Eina replied looking calm.

"Eighty percent of wins and losses, he says, are decided before the battle begins. We have a complete system in place this time, so you'll be fine first."

... I'm so confident. Does that mean I'm confident in the work I've done? Wow.

When Eina delivered Astre 5 billion in war expenses from the Duke of Pharos to the Count's house, she said the research aid that would be sent at a later date had attached a promise that they would receive.

Even as a Count, he didn't originally expect even the cost of war, so when it was too much for him to just get 5 billion astr, he understood in two replies.

Incidentally, the research cost of 2 billion astols each for five years is what Eina calls "it was almost a hot air balloon feat," and Eina's share is 10%, and the rest is for us.

I feel kind of sorry for you, but I need the funds, so I'll sweeten it to your word.

But that's also if the ongoing battle ends in a victory on this side.

Eina says it's okay, but I'm very anxious.

On the morning of the second day of the war, when he was having a restless time, the King's Capital made a noise in earnest, and information jumped in saying, 'The Minister of Military Affairs led the King's army and stood in the Second Prince's faction to join the war'.

Apparently the reason for the appearance is that the army of the Third Prince worked a wolf (brawl) in the King's City, but I guess it's actually the Duke of Pharos tangled that Eina was saying.

The battle went entirely according to Eina's muscles in the King's army's participation, and on the second night the Third Prince collapsed in total, a complete victory for the Second Prince in just two days.
