The Branded Female Fencer

Alfi, we didn't have a meeting before, did we?

"But it was as expected, wasn't it?" Sometimes it's unexpected. "

“Maybe so, but can we form an alliance with them?”

"There's something wrong with that." If they were really defeated and the entire regiment came under our umbrella, the total number of Jaegers would be over 50,000. "

Fifty thousand mercenaries. No one else could understand what it meant except Alpha Reese and Lisa. The largest mercenary regiment in history. And for Jaeger, who slightly surpassed the standby forces of a small country and even secured his own territory in negotiations with Reifan, it is a reality that is tantamount to the interest of a new country. Naturally, it is expected that the relationship with various countries will change again in the future as the wind becomes tough on countries.

Lisa pointed to the reality and asked Alfilise, “Is this all right?” There was a bit of hesitation about Alpha Reese. When I took them on, I had a lot to think about where to make them stay, or dispersing them to form branches - but before that, I was simply worried about their future.

Alfilise told Lisa with a thoughtful face.

“Honestly, it's like a mountain to think about. I never asked for an offer, but it would have been better than buying their suspicions, in this instance.”

"... the total size of Müller's Iron Man is 15,000 to 30,000. The Friedelinde Tenma Knights have a total population of about 5,000, but the population of Rockhires is said to exceed 100,000. Think carefully and act accordingly.”

"Yeah, I'm gonna put together some thoughts."

Lunatica stood behind her as she walked out of the room, and Lisa complained.

"It's just a walk, I'll be right back."

It's the enemy's home, isn't it? Wear an escort. Besides, it would be weird to be alone and fluttering around. ”

"I'd like to put together some thoughts. I'd rather be alone."

"Do you think I'll get in the way?"

Lunatica insisted that she was silent, so Alfilise laughed funny and giggled and allowed her to accompany her.

Fine, I'll take care of your back.

I knew it.

When Alphilees walked out of the room, the air was cold and heavy, and the dark interior of the royal palace was spooky. There are not many soldiers around, but the lights are minimal in the royal palace, where fuel is precious.

When he walked at night, he was told to use Cantera, so Alphilees lit the fire by magic. Apparently, a small sorcery could be used. Lunatica walks with one eye in meditation in case the lights go out.

Fu, taking a long breath, Alphilees walked out. Although I said it myself, it was definitely a royal palace that required courage and readiness to take a walk. Anneclose is disgusted in this royal palace and often spends time in the third and second layers, but I can see how that feels. I think that the Swendle Queen fell ill and that it was because of the environment. If you stay in this enclosed space forever, you may think of something unexpected. Or perhaps the demon king's evil thoughts and negative remnants that once existed still work.

Alpha Reese suddenly notices something strange as he passes in front of the room where the mercenaries are hitting him. One room for each mercenary regiment, but one more. The unused room is sealed off, so the Zems are using two of them. Speaking of which, I didn't see Zemus at the military assembly earlier, but I wondered if he was in another room.

And across the hallway, the royal family's private room was on the other side. Anneclose and Willania are here too. Swendle's concubines have all been dead or ill in the past few years and they are recovering, and now they are only in Orloisage and its surroundings. The corridor leading to the royal family's private room was already packed with heavy knights of protection, and they were unlikely to let me through.

They don't move, and they're wearing all-black armor, so they look like monsters or ghosts.

Is it impossible to get through?

"... That's insane."

I see.

Alfilise smiled bitterly at Lunatica, who replied expressionlessly. Orloisage and Anne-Crosse seemed to let me through if I asked for a favor, but it was about to resonate tomorrow, and it seemed to bother me more than anything.

Suddenly, there was a voice.

"Stop."

The Heavy Knights, who saw Alpha Reese, blew out their voices without moving, and so did Alpha Reese's heart. How much of them are turned into the gestures of Karamiti? Once in the party, Calamity's bugs were assimilated into organs, and Lisa's sensors told her not to distinguish them. Therefore, there is no way to distinguish until just before it emerges from its true nature. However, I could imagine that there were things like compatibility rather than being able to parasitize with no one. Otherwise, the continent would already be swept away by Kalamiti.

The Heavy Knight questioned Alphilees in a slightly harsh tone.

Lord Alphilees, where are you going at night like this?

That's a suspicious person, ”replied Alpha Reese without getting worse, imagining that there was a critical gaze from her neighbor, Lunatica.

"Um... I'd like to put together some ideas for tomorrow's military assembly, so I thought I'd take a stroll or something?"

"In the evening, the palace will be cold, it will be better to wear a coat." Don't just open the door again. "

"Thank you."

Receive a coat from the heavier knights who were kind enough to explore the royal palace.
