The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 83 - Meeting Day 2, Night Close ① -

And Anneclose saw the letter from Alphilis, and went out to Arnelia. Anneclose also had errands to run, but Anneclose was surprised that contact from Alphilis was quicker.

"Alfie, what is it about calling the princess in one letter? Totally, this is it, so be polite."

Annecloses leaking dissatisfaction, but the look also seems somewhere delightful. Annecloses and Alphilis were intimate with each other by letter, and Annecloses was also relieved of what he said was difficult for a casual Alphilis.

It also worked in the favor of Alphilis that there were few bellies, especially women, who could forgive Annecloses their hearts. Only when in Anneclose was Alphilis felt like his best friend, who had only met him for a few days. My legs are faster, not just because I'm in a hurry.

And Anneclose reached the open place. It was surprising that there were even more meadows in Arnelia, but apparently an undeveloped neighborhood. Near where the Seeker lived, Alphilis was waiting.

"Anne, it's been a while. Glad you could make it."

"Absolutely, what are you going to call the princess? If you need anything, you can come from there."

"Are you serious? I don't even have the guts to jump into a demon like that. You do realize Anne, don't you?

Alphilis said with a smile, but it was an honest feeling. I don't even know to what extent the Annecloses are attached, but I needed to shake them up.

Also, does Anneclose really remain the original Anneclose? There are many Seekers, Elves lying on the perimeter of the Alphilis, and Lisa is also positioned. Assuming Anneclose made any suspicious moves, she was going to jump right out.

But Anneclose just had a dark face to the Alphilis question and didn't respond to anything. On the contrary, the look told the story of the seriousness of the situation.

"I don't know... anything. Honestly who is on your side and who is the enemy. The royal palace is certainly a demon cave, as Alfi put it. Originally a swirling place in terms of number of manipulations, Romansland is a boneless gathering of human beings. There was no such thing as mutual glances at each other's complexions, awe, no more words exchanged.

When it comes to people I can trust anymore, I only have about my sister, a few nearby generals, and a few maids of short notice. I don't know why this mission suddenly called me either. There's no such thing as a close faction in court. "

"No one? What's your relationship with the king?

"Opinions aside, we don't even face each other. I used to force myself into the bedroom and have an opinion, but now I can't even get you into my private room. I won't even show my face in the morning council, and the national government has honestly stopped. Only the cases that we're allowed to try are barely being managed."

Alphilis questioned the content of the conversation.

"Wait. If there's not a morning meeting in court, who's in command of the invasion?

"Mercenaries." Strategist "Klausel. Under his command, the invasion is taking place."

"Do the Romansland generals listen to what the mercenaries say?

"No, only a group of mercenaries and demons are invading. Krausel first said he would only use mercenaries and demons and try to drop the surrounding countries. Romansland's army was to govern the land after he occupied it.

Of course, there was a lot of opposition to an invasion that did not use its own forces, but Klausel told me that I should do what I did on my own. And the morning council while the king was absent was ignored, and the invasion began. And Romansland is inevitably ruling after Klausel's invasion. This is the truth. "

"Oh, my God..."

If Anneclose's words are true, Romansland can make an excuse as well. If the colour of the flag is poor, it can be assumed that mercenaries and demons are arbitrarily dedicated, or if the results of the invasion are good, it is possible to take only that interest.

It's a question of whether such an excuse actually works, but if the peace conference ends with this fact lying low and the subject remains ambiguous and a declaration of war is to be made against Romansland, it could, on the contrary, be taken as a pre-emptive attack against Romansland. That way, a country that is trying to be afraid of Romansland can give you just a reason to be on Romansland's side if you do it badly.

Alphilis was relieved. How far is it planned to invade? He seems to have lost completely in the intelligence battle before the battle in the first place. Alphilis understood. Whatever the outcome of this meeting, that war is no longer inevitable.
