The Branded Female Fencer

"An excuse," he said.

"Yes, it's an excuse. As you know, we in Romansland have sent resident ambassadors to our countries. If they meet an unfortunate incident at the hands of a nation..."

"... what the hell are you talking about, you?

At some point Anneclose had pulled out her own sword. Though the Imperial Princess is not permitted to commit murder under the king's authority. If there had been a murder, even royal blood ties would not have spared a felony. Of course Anneclose knew about it, but she remembered so much anger and fear that she forgot about it. I didn't feel intimidated by Voff. She remembered the unspeakable fear of the man who spoke too easily of inhumanity.

He was silent in accepting that Anneclose crept closer to Voff as it was. It's as if you want that to unfold. But there was a man who grabbed Anneclose's hand at the place.

"Princess, you won't make it that far"

Anneclose saw the Lord who grabbed his hand as a hack. It was one of the generals, Oswald. It is a general who deposits the 6th Division of the Land War. Next to it was Shepard, who also deposited the third division of the Land War, and the cluster of division chiefs of the fifth division of the Air War. All are magnificent and well-known to the nations as generals who will keep this country. Especially since Oswald had a background in being an Anneclose educator, who was also hard for her to resist.

"Bitter. Why stop?"

"For one thing, that's the code. If the royal family, which should be the norm of the Bunwu hundred officials, breaks the code itself, then no one should obey the code in the future. The other one won't bother the princess's hands. If it's an order, I'll cut it and throw it away immediately. Even if the king orders you to do yourself harm on the spot, let's do it."

"... that's all they say, and who can give orders and so on? It's too much of a loss to redeem the treasure of the country for such a lowlife. I'll pull it off."

"Oh, that's a wise princess. Thank you for your loss."

Oswald showed a bit of great emotion, so even the neighboring cluster and Anneclose laughed bitterly. For a long time this Oswald was a rare and loving figure for Romansland military personnel. Remember to soothe the occasion with jokes, even in the fold of a country's important cabinet meeting. He was a well-liked man of all personalities. But only Shepard remained faceless without laughing.

Angry Anneclose stares at Voff again.

"Okay. Forgive me for sparing your face this time, but next time try such ominous words and deeds. I'll slap you bareback."

"Ha ha. And I understand that."

"Naturally. From now on, make proposals that will benefit the country and the people."

That's all Anneclose left to say, now he started walking with three generals. Later, Voff was left lying flat with his forehead rubbed on the ground.

Anneclose talks to the generals as she walks.

"By the way, what happened to all three heavy towns in the country? Did you get permission to enter here?

"Wasn't much of an abusive means. I heard strange rumors."

"Wonderful?"

Anneclose had a bad feeling. As if to observe the anxiety, Oswald immediately started talking.

"What Voff said earlier is realistic. There's already movement in the army."

"What, which division?

"1st and 5th divisions of the Land War. And it's the 2nd and 4th divisions of the air war."

"Stupid, you said four!? And I didn't know 1st or 2nd would work."

The first and second in both land and air warfare are to be led by royalty. The first division of the Land War was made by Augusto, the eldest brother, the Crown Prince. The second of the air wars is led by his uncle, Donifest. Anneclose's division is Air War Division 3. It is the order of the division chief because he is royal, but at the same time it was also evidence that so much of the power of Anneclose was recognized.

In other words, there are five divisions led by royalty. If two of them were to move, that was actually the first time in decades. If it's a demonic crusade or a calm civil unrest around, usually only the other divisions move. When moving a division directly under the royal family, it will also show other countries that its own country is serious. If that were the case, there were fears that this war would not work. Anneclose and the other generals, of course, know about it.

"So, what country are you preparing to attack?

"I don't know that yet. But when I let you look for the scale of preparation, you said it wasn't the amount of material that would invade only one country? If you do, you'll probably..."

"It would be multifaceted simultaneous"

They were surprised when Shepard, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. But a man named Shepard doesn't utter a futile word. Depositing the third division of the Army, he has a say in the army next to the royal family. It didn't even fix it and showed that he was the best in the military. He lasts a long time, because he is the head of the prestigious Romansland military.

The Shepard speaks.

"It wasn't just Oswald, I let him look in secret, too. More to the point, it looks like we're on our way east."

"Stupid, wasn't that geographically impossible?

If it's a positive attack, yes.

To Shepard's words, face to face. But more than that, he said nothing, and the conversation ended there. Shepard only speaks of matters of certainty. In other words, the progression was no longer a rumor, but a realistic issue. Increasingly, Anneclose renewed her determination to honor her father. Of course, the other generals were the same, but Shepard's purpose was only somewhat different.

Anneclose gained even more momentum by accompanying the generals and took her to the private room of her father in a stronger foothold. There was a guard soldier there who tried to control the intrusion of the Annecloses in the form of crossing spears, but there are four generals that Romansland is proud of. There are no soldiers who are not frightened by them at the same time. The soldier lost his temper just because he was stared at, and he couldn't help himself in the hand holding the spear. Out of the way the soldier's spear, Anneclose opens the door.

"Father, excuse me!

Anneclose opens the king's private room door in battle. The ladies, who were inside the door opened with momentum, were surprised, but the king's figure was not there. The room was made so that the king could carry out his duties, and books and documents existed in the closet, close to the king's study, which preferred books of military law and economics, as in the mountains. At the same time, on the king's desk. Anneclose looks closer to the desk, but there was dust build-up there. I guess it hasn't been used for a long time.

"The woman there"

"Yes!

The woman, stared into the eye of Anneclose's cleaver, replies as she stretches herself.

"The king hasn't used this desk in a long time. Where did the king get his job?

"Oh, that's..."

The woman went awry. I had eyes for my companions to seek salvation, but my companions deliberately kept them out of sight with her. I guess that's all they're having trouble answering. Anneclose noticed that too, but if you don't ask me, I won't move on.

"I'm not blaming you. Let me be clear."

"Yes. That's very hard to say..."

The woman cut the words again. But Anneclose waited still for her words. A previous Anneclose would have intimidated her right away. But when I met Alphilis, she seemed to have grown spiritually once. I learned to put up with patience and trust people. I've also learned that people don't always have the same temperament to make instant decisions as they do.

And Anneclose waited for her lady's reply under the guise of calm so as not to put as much anger on the table as possible. The woman finally opened her heavy mouth to see how it worked.

"Um, the king, from the... bedroom, always..."

"What, you're telling me you're ruling a country matter out of your bedroom!?

"Hih, hih"

The moment I heard the word, Anneclose's expression stained with anger, so the lady was completely frightened and hidden in the shadows of the other ladies. Anneclose lost her place of emotion with an angry, wretched one, but at that moment she heard the king and woman laughing with pleasure from the next room. That must have been the bedroom. I remember coming to see you a lot when I was a kid.

"Father, excuse me!

Hear the voice. No, Anneclose opened it in a manner close to thrusting through its door. A woman crashes into a door that has been opened to violence, but Anneclose is no longer comfortable with the matter. That's how she came to mind.

But it was an even more incredible sight for her to receive such an angry-headed anneclosure.
