Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Celebration Banquet

After eliminating Grand Duke Cantares, the 80,000 Caladova army, which was almost undamaged, rested for a day and a half to regroup, and then continued to attack Padraon with the momentum of victory. In terms of supplies, Padraon's preparations for the invasion of Caladova can just be plundered and used.In addition, because he had already anticipated what would happen at this time, Guntram had already secretly cultivated fields in various villages along the way for food supplies. The invasion of the capital of the Grand Duchy of Padraon took place eight days after the battle on the Esparta Hills.

Although a small number of princes loyal to Grand Duke Cantares and his family insisted on defending the city and did not want to surrender, most soldiers and more than 80% of the princes expressed their willingness to surrender when Guntram entered the country, so The Caladovan army captured the capital in just two days. Guntram tried his best to persuade the princes, soldiers and people of Padraon to surrender.Not only will those who swear to surrender not be severely punished, but it is also agreed that all their property will not be confiscated.In addition, if you participate in future wars with other countries as part of Caladova and make achievements, you will return half of the property confiscated this time. If you make achievements in the next battle, then Return all property and become a nobleman, soldier or citizen of Caladovan at the same time.

This is easier for the people of Padraon to be trusted.Because they know that these oaths have been practiced in the several small countries that Caladova has annexed so far. "It is a pity to kill the princes who have mastered the local situation, the well-trained soldiers, and the people who cultivate the land and have the technology to produce crops suitable for the land, and it is best to avoid abuse and resentment." This is Günteram's idea.Of course, there will definitely be people who will try to deceive the eyes and ears of Guntram and the others, attempting to infiltrate the inside and launch a rebellion from the inside, so the candidates must be selected carefully.That is to say, in order to cope with such a situation, Günteram will cultivate a group of princes headed by Fromon and Charbino.Those who are capable and have made outstanding achievements may not necessarily become the princes or people of Caladova, but they will definitely be rewarded and promoted according to the same standards.

Only the family of the Grand Duke, and the princes who remained loyal to him until the end, Günteram showed no mercy. Poison was given to the Dagong's family to make them commit suicide, and the princes beheaded all of them.Those who are lucky enough to escape from the Caladovan army will be rewarded for their heads, so that the soldiers and people of Padraon can find out their whereabouts, and they must be arrested and executed.For the Grand Dukes, and those who are loyal to them, will never submit to a life of service to Caladova.These people will only become obstacles for Günteram, so they must not be left alive.

After annexing the Grand Duchy of Padraon, the Caladova Kingdom finally became the most powerful country among the twenty-nine countries in the mainland. When one stepped into the palace hall where this victory banquet was held, the noisy human voice spread like ripples and stopped at the place where Belda stopped. The eyes of the princes and their wives, sons, and daughters who gathered in the bustling hall to celebrate the victory were all focused on Belda.A small group of ladies covered their mouths with their fans and stared at Belda, quietly saying something—— (Is there something wrong with me?)

Belda examined her appearance.She wasn't wearing knight clothes, but a dress dress.It was a dress of dark green and pure white. The wide open neckline fully showed the beautiful skin on the chest and back without being vulgar, emphasizing the streamlined body curve, quite feminine dress. It's not an unapproachable hard-edged aesthetic.It's the kindness that every man would want to hold in his arms and protect.This kind of beauty is completely different from the temperament usually displayed on the battlefield. "Put on a dress at the celebratory banquet, and show His Royal Highness the feminine side of you."

Belda could not disobey the order of her adoptive father Sacrapon, who had the grace of nurturing. In front of Sacrapon, Belda's personal maid hastily took out the dress that his wife had specially ordered for Berda for this moment, and began to prepare for dressing.Even if she wanted to escape, she couldn't escape. Seeing this daunting and gorgeous dress, Berda could only bite the bullet and put her hands into the sleeves. Belda felt an urge to run away. All the people gathered here were nobles and ladies, so they probably wouldn't point at Berda and laugh at her.However, they must be thinking in their hearts whether they mistook someone for that rough girl who was always running around on the battlefield in armor.

Belda suppressed the feeling of shame, lowered her head slightly and walked along the wall.There's no better way to walk than with a long skirt tangling in your heels.Belda naturally narrowed her steps and moved forward in a quiet manner. "Isn't this Your Excellency Berda? I thought I was dazzled!" The person walking with a smile on his face was Edinal.Please, don't call my name so loudly.Belda prayed secretly in her heart.The surrounding eyes are more and more focused on her. "How can the winner of this victory stay in such a corner? Please come here, please."

Edinal bowed, took Berda's hand, and pulled her to the center of the hall. "This, this is not good, Adinal." "What's wrong? Do you already have other flower protectors? If so, let me say sorry to him, I will give up." "You, where did you go? I, how could I have a flower protector?" "In that case, please be sure to bestow this honor on me, Adinal." "This this……" This was the first time Belda entered the social world in a dress, so she was quite nervous and didn't know what to do. "Come on, Lord Belda, please come here, come to the center. This battle is thanks to Her Excellency Berda's wonderful performance. Everyone stretched their necks, waiting to see your demeanor."

"T-That's not the case." Belda's voice, still bowing her head, sounded very embarrassed. "What are you talking about? The wonderful performance of your Excellency Belda in the charge has long been known. Besides, when you were attacking the Grand Duke of Cantares, you were the one who helped. Later, when you attacked Padraon You were also very active during the time! If Your Excellency Berda is not an honored person, then the others are even more ineligible." "This, this victory all depends on the strategy of His Highness the Regent, the strength of everyone who cooperates with the plan, and the concerted efforts of the soldiers. My strength..."

Suddenly, Adinal laughed. "What's the matter with you? Your Excellency Belda. Your voice is so dignified and clear on the battlefield, but from just now until now, you have been speaking in that shy voice. Indeed, when I saw this beautiful figure At that time, at first I thought it was my eyes that were dazzled, and I almost couldn’t recognize it. But even if it’s a woman, can it be that because of wearing a dress, even the body and mind are completely changed?” "What beauty, don't laugh at me." Why did Adinal tease himself like this?Belda was puzzled.Could it be that he had offended him on the battlefield?Although she doesn't remember such a thing... "Please dance with me later," Adinal said. "Take it as your thanks for saving my life from Grand Duke Cantares, and on the contrary, my reward for saving you from the sword of Padraon Knight." Wanting to express gratitude for being saved, and asking for help in return, using these two things in exchange for "dancing a dance", thinking about it carefully, this is really an unreasonable request, but Berda, because of the confusion I was at a loss, so I didn't refuse for a moment, I just suppressed the feeling of shame and nodded in agreement. "I couldn't be happier." Edinal's face glowed with joy from the bottom of his heart. Why does this person have such a cheerful smile?This kind of happy smile and so on seems to have nothing to do with me. If this Berda is aware of her beauty, and intends to use it as a weapon...or, just like how she asked Kuromer to defeat Grand Duke Cantares on the battlefield, develop her battle situation according to her own ideas If you use her wit and strategy in a planned way... At this moment, no one can predict what changes will happen to Belda in the future. At this time, just like when Belda first entered the room, the noisy voice stopped.It was Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Regent who came to the scene. How beautiful is the virtuous and dignified Queen, Belda thought.How commensurate with His Royal Highness Regent who is full of masculine charm, he who is careless and still running on the battlefield will never be able to match her. (Can't beat her?) Where did you think of it?Belda shook her head. His Royal Highness the Regent, in ceremonial robes, accompanied Her Majesty the Queen.Berda was fascinated by his graceful and dignified posture.Alas, Berda sighed, just seeing her made her blush.However, there was one thing that made her quite concerned. Her Majesty the Regent seemed to care for Her Majesty the Queen from the bottom of her heart. On the contrary, Her Majesty's attitude seemed a little cold. Why is Her Majesty the Queen so indifferent to Her Majesty the Regent?If it were me, I would never do it.I will definitely treat His Highness the Regent well... Just as a feeling of anger similar to jealousy gradually swelled in Belda's heart. "Are you serious?" Suddenly, Adinal asked her a question in a low voice. "what?" Belda, who didn't hear it at all, asked back. "I said, are you serious? Isn't it because of the request of your adoptive father Sacrepon?" "Huh? What do you want?" Belda became more and more confused as she listened. "It's really unfavorable to meet an opponent like His Highness the Regent. Even I am not sure that I can win." "What the hell are you talking about, Adinal?" "However, I will never admit defeat." "what?" "His Royal Highness is a married man. However, I am single. Can you please think about this?" "what?" As a result, Belda was still confused. "Everyone, this war has worked hard." The queen on the throne spoke, and everyone saluted and bowed to the throne.Then, under the shout of "Long live the Kingdom of Caladova" from Berda's adoptive father, Sacrapon, all the people present followed suit. When the voices calmed down, Her Majesty the Queen suddenly called Belda's name. "Your Excellency Berda, come here." "Ah, yes." Lifting up the hem of her skirt that hindered her walk, Berda walked steadily towards the queen, saluted, put her hands on her chest and lowered her head. Regent Tram, who sat on the seat next to Queen Belishina, saluted Queen Belishina, and then began to talk to Belda.It was a majestic and majestic voice. "Your Excellency Berda's performance this time is quite outstanding. Therefore, I intend to grant Her Excellency Berda, together with her father Sacrepan, another Viscount title, and Her Majesty the Queen also has this intention. Are you willing to accept it?" "what?" Overwhelmed by surprise, Berda couldn't help but scream. "I also heard that although the person who obtained the head of Grand Duke Padraon was Mrs. Kuromell, Her Excellency Berda also contributed a lot." Belda lowered her head even lower.This matter was proposed by Kuromer himself to Günter Ram. "It's not unprecedented for women to be bestowed with titles. Your Excellency Berda, no, Lord Berda, Her Majesty the Queen wishes to hand over your hometown of Valuta territory to your administration." Belishina, who was watching Guntram, nodded expressionlessly. "Then I will officially grant the territory of Valuta and the title of Viscount to Berda-sama." "Is, is this true? To me, this, this is really supreme..." The sudden situation made Berda incoherent. "Then are you willing to accept it?" Guntram's smile made Berda flush with shame.Moreover, she was clearly wearing a dress, but she put her hands on her chest like a knight, and knelt on one knee in front of Belishina and Guntram with her head bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift." Berda's feelings for Guentram suddenly rose.If Her Royal Highness is attacked from other countries, etc., even if she has to pay the price with her life, she must protect it with all her strength.She will definitely support with all her strength and do everything in her power to help.At this time, Berda's voice was no longer that of the girl who didn't know what to do because she had changed into a foreign dress, panicked and didn't adapt to the social world, but the knight Berda who was usually on the battlefield. There were applause from all around, especially the voice of praise and applause from the lady.Among the blessings and applause from all the people, only Sakripang felt slightly complicated emotions.It is joyful for her daughter to be recognized, but the inheritance of Valuta's territory means that she must stay away from the royal capital Asamoor, that is, Guntram.In this way, he and Günteram became relatives-the dream of the two becoming son-in-law and father-in-law was even more distant.Thinking of this, the brave Sacrepon secretly sighed. Zhou Yilang and Duomeng were also invited to this celebration banquet. Both wore purple robes, the formal attire of witches and their entourage.Since the status of the fairy goddess is somewhat close to that of a witch, the people around agree that they must change into such costumes.Duomeng seems a little dissatisfied with this. "I really want to wear a western dress. How great would it be if I could wear a white or light blue western dress?" Though thinking so, Duo Meng couldn't help but regret from the bottom of his heart because he could only dress up as a monk. "It's no wonder, Duomeng is a girl after all." "What after all, it's too much, Mr. Zhou." Duomeng pouted in displeasure. "Sorry, sorry. Anyway, we have to stay in this world for a while, I think, there should be a chance to wear it." "yes?" Duomeng looked around with bright eyes at the dresses worn by the ladies around her. With a "bang", a teenager collided with Duomeng. "Irreverent fellow!" At the time of the collision, the gorgeously dressed boy who seemed to have a rather noble status—he must be around eight years old—rebuked Tammon in Caladovan. "Sorry." Duomeng, who didn't know what was going on, apologized in Caladovan while saluting.The boy snorted and left without any politeness. "Oh, isn't that Prince Reimond?" The ladies next to them covered their mouths with fans and started whispering in Caladovan, so Duomeng and Zhou Yilang couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly. "That rumor seems to be true." "The facial features and appearance really don't look like His Highness the Regent at all." "Although she looks quite similar to Her Majesty the Queen." "But it's more like the late His Majesty Oliver..." "As far as premature babies are concerned, they are really lively and healthy." "Is it true that it is not His Royal Highness, but the son of His Majesty Oliver?" "Shh, be careful that the walls have ears. You can't talk about this kind of thing." The private conversation of the ladies seems to have ended like this. "Oh, it's the Fairy Goddess." "Is that her?" "Looks like a child." The ladies cast curious glances at Duomeng and Zhou Yilang. Hearing that the rickets and the children who contracted the epidemic were almost all getting better, Zhou Yilang felt relieved. There is nothing more gratifying than being able to save the lives of children.However, another purpose of doing this is actually to gain recognition for the meaning of existence in this world.At least, they wouldn't be immediately excluded—that is, killed—because they didn't meet the criteria for being a fairy goddess at all.Duomeng and Yiyilang, who had been left aside due to the rush of the invasion, finally saw the Regent Tram again this time.Both of them have realized in their hearts that their future fate will probably be decided. Just like Berda surrounded by many people, Zhou Yilang and Dameng, who were surrounded by guests, were being observed by a pair of cold eyes, and that person was none other than Günteram. Günteram has heard and known about curing children's diseases, making "toothbrushes", and controlling people's hearts as a fairy goddess.Because of this, he was even more wary of these two people. In addition to Guntram, if there is a fairy goddess who controls people's hearts, it will only hinder government affairs.In the unlikely event that the Fairy raised objections to Günteram's governance, the country would still be in danger of splitting into two.For Guntram, the existence of a fairy goddess is just a kind of trouble, and his heart is involuntarily full of repulsion. Günteram smiled formally and ordered his attendants to summon Duomeng and Zhou Yilang to the throne, in front of his wife, Queen Belishina, who was sitting beside him. "Why didn't the fairy goddess appear in the purple room, but came directly to my side, Juntram?" After they walked in front of the queen, Guntram asked the question himself, and the interpreter conveyed the content to Zhou Yilang in a written conversation. "What is the purple room?" Ichiro asked Guntram back through the translator who translated in written and single-character Caradovan.The translator followed Zhou Yilang and the two from Lansvale to the royal capital Asamore. "This is weird, doesn't the fairy goddess know where the purple room is? I also came here from another country ten years ago, so I don't know, but I have heard that the fairy goddess will appear in the purple room. Those in power give advice and so on." The so-called purple room is located deep underground in the palace, a room that cannot be opened.Not long after becoming regent to his wife, Queen Belishina II of Caladovan, Guntram visited the Purple Room.But the heavy door could not be opened no matter how brave Sacrepon pushed or pulled it, and the door was not locked at all.It is said that the door can only be opened from the inside, and must be opened by the power of the fairy goddess.Although Guntram thought about trying to break in by force, he had no choice but to give up under the awe-inspiring opposition of his courtiers.In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just a room in the basement, and Günteram just wants to know what's in it and satisfy his curiosity.However, he also understood that there was really no need to provoke the backlash from the courtiers for such a trivial matter.Günteram hadn't been there since then, and there was never a report of the door being opened. "Is it because the matter is urgent, so you must directly see His Royal Highness the Regent?" It was Sacrapon who interjected.His urgency seemed to point directly to the march to Padraon, or to an epidemic among the children of Lansvale. "Those are just trivial things." The translator translated Zhou Yilang's written conversation into Caladovan and conveyed it to Guntram and others. "Then, does Fairy Goddess have any advice, do you want to tell me, Guntram?" These words of Guntram made the queen on the throne flash a bitter expression for an instant.The open ruler should be her, Belishina II.Even so, Zhou Yilang and his wife did not appear in front of her, but appeared beside Guntram, which seemed to make her quite displeased. "advice?" The word written by the translator made Zhou Yilang feel hesitant.Why did they come to this world?To be honest, it was to escape the clutches of the killer.But it all starts with getting that incredible spinning globe.He even felt that there was a fate-like force at work in the dark.But what exactly is that? Sigma's aggression. Should this matter be said here?Can they really understand? The people in the hall were all waiting for Duomeng and Zhou Yilang's answer, so they were silent. Zhou Yilang replied with a long story. "Are the two of you really fairy goddesses?" Guntram couldn't help asking. "His Royal Highness!" "It doesn't seem appropriate to say that..." Charpino and Fromon, who held high respect for the fairy goddess, blamed Günter Ram with a confused expression. "Forgive me, please forgive me, Goddess Fairy. Since this is an extraordinary period, Guntram is very worried that there will be spies sneaking into the country of Caladova pretending to be Goddess Fairy. The two cured the children's diseases, and Thank you for bringing us such a precious item as a 'toothbrush'. However, the person who should have appeared in the purple room not only appeared directly beside me, but also gave me no advice at all. Besides, I have heard that the fairy goddess She is an elderly woman, but you two look so young. What is going on? If possible, could you please explain to me?" The silence seemed to grow deeper.No one supported Yi Lang and the two present, and no one refuted Guntram. The translator couldn’t fully translate Guntram’s long and complicated remarks into Chinese characters, that is, “the words bestowed by the Goddess of the Fairy”, so I only ask for forgiveness for doubts about Guntram and why he didn’t appear in the purple room. Things, briefly convey the meaning.After Zhou Yilang adjusted his breathing, he decided to speak out boldly. "Since you have doubts, don't you think it's inappropriate for me to explain things clearly on the spot?" Zhou Yilang's words, after being translated into Caladovan by the translator, caused a commotion in the surrounding area.Günteram merely narrowed his eyes. "You mean, it can't be said in this place?" "That's right." Zhou Yilang replaced Duomeng and answered through an interpreter.Duomeng behind Zhou Yilang seemed quite disturbed.The people present also talked and whispered in low voices because of confusion. "Since that's the case, it's better to be like this." The proposer was Günter Ram. "Invite these two to the purple room." "The purple room?" Charpino asked in surprise. "That's right. If they are fairies, or people who are related to them, the purple room should welcome them in, right?" "I see." Guntram's idea is that if the "purple room" that cannot be opened is opened because of the power of these two people, then these two people must undoubtedly be the fairy goddess and her messenger, who came to help him. who appeared.On the contrary, if they can't open it, then they are most likely liars pretending to be fairy goddesses, and then they can be imprisoned in the name of strict investigation. Guntram will never allow any existence that can gather people's hearts better than him to appear in this Caladova Kingdom.The purple room was the first thing that Guntram thought of, whether it was to let Guntram personally experience the existence of the fairy goddess, or to be punished as a liar, to verify the truth. "A brilliant proposal indeed." "If the fairy goddess will continue to stay in the future, that room should be the most suitable place to settle them." No one thought it was impolite to test the identities of Zhou Yilang and the other two.Regarding the identity of the young Duomeng and his entourage, although everyone does not have any doubts, they feel somewhat uneasy, and this test can just relieve this uneasiness. In this way, Zhou Yilang and Duomeng not only failed to escape the countless sights projected from around them, but even had no time to understand the situation, they were taken to the direction of the purple room. The purple room is located deep in the basement of the palace, a place filled with a cold and heavy air.The seemingly heavy door occupies the entire wall at the end of the passage. Zhou Yilang and Duomeng stood side by side in front of the door. There were Gutram, Sacrepon, the interpreter, Charbino, Fromon, Berda, and five guards in the company.Queen Belishina left the banquet a little sadly, but she didn't come to the purple room with her. Although many princes wanted to watch the development of the matter, the purple room was a sacred place after all, so except for Zhou Yilang and Duomeng, only the above six people and the guards came to the scene in the end.Belda was still wearing her gown, and she was dragged here half-forced by Sacrapon, because Sacrepon wanted her to stay by His Royal Highness's side, even for a while. "Please open the door, Fairy Goddess." The translator conveyed what Sacrepon said to Zhou Yilang in words, and Zhou Yilang took a step forward.At this moment, Sakripang suddenly stretched out his thick arms to block Zhou Yilang. "No, it's not a follower, it's a fairy goddess." The translator conveyed in written conversation that Duomeng had to open the door. Standing one step behind Zhou Yilang and Duomeng are Guntram and Sacrepon, behind them are the interpreter, Charbino and Fromon, and at the end is Berda.Next to Guntram and Sacrepon were guards holding candlesticks to illuminate the surroundings. A heavy air enveloped around the door.Zhou Yilang suddenly realized that they must enter this place and open this door.The man named Günteram did not allow anything attractive, because Günteram believed that he had to be unique in his own right.If Duomeng had become a fairy here and grasped more people's hearts, he would definitely be killed by this man one day.However, if you can't prove that you are a fairy goddess, you will be suspected of being a spy, and you may end up dead in the end.What should I do?After proving that he is a fairy goddess or her messenger, he will definitely not be able to win the hearts of the people. I don't know if such a thing can be done, and he really doesn't know how to do it.If they are necessary to this world, then there should be a path opened for them... that's all I can think of.In any case, the only way now is to hand over fate to God. "What a dream." Zhou Yilang pressed Duomeng's back. "Open it if you can, don't open it if you can't. Try it." "Mr. Zhou." Facing his niece who was looking at him with uneasy eyes, Zhou Yilang blinked to make her happy. "Don't worry, you can do it." "Ok." Duomeng smiled and nodded.Don't show any uneasy expression, Duomeng thought.Since they are regarded as fairy goddesses, they must hold their heads high and show their majesty. Take two or three steps forward, hold the doorknob with both hands, and try to push slowly.Not a single movement.Judging from the structure of the door, it should be a push-open door.Duomeng tried again, this time, she tried to push forward with greater force.Still, the door didn't budge.Exhausted all the strength of the whole body, the result is still the same. "Why can't you open it? Are you not the fairy goddess, or her messenger?" Sacrapon was puzzled as if he felt incredible from the bottom of his heart.This man has never doubted the identity of Fairy Duomeng. "Mr. Zhou..." Zhou Yilang reached out to hold Duomeng as if he was about to cry. "Just let the followers try it." Through the written conversation, Zhou Yilang also tried to push the door, but still failed to open the door. "What the hell is going on here?" Under Guntram's questioning, Zhou Yilang took a deep breath. "As expected." Bluffing as much as he could, Zhou Yilang replied in writing. "What did you expect?" The interpreter raised questions for Günteram in written conversation. "The Fairy Goddess is still in training. Although I came to visit to give advice, but due to lack of ability, I can't convey it clearly." Zhou Yilang writes with as much arrogance as possible. "The so-called practice, what kind of practice is it?" Although he was puzzled, he was even more curious. The person who raised this question through the translator was Fromon. Zhou Yilang himself didn't know how to answer this question. At this time, Guntram spoke.The translator conveyed it to Zhou Yilang in a written conversation. "Then, why not go to Mount Lunaxio, where the witches live." "Witch?" Zhou Yilang couldn't help blurting out.Are there witches in this world? "That's a good suggestion," Sacrepon agreed. "It is said that the witches of Mount Lunaxio and the Valnera family are quite knowledgeable. They should be very suitable for all kinds of learning." "Witch?" Günter Ram hopes to make this kind of existence that controls people's hearts as far away from the crowd as possible.Although I think going to jail or being placed under house arrest in a castle is a good idea, but I am worried that it will arouse the public's resentment.At this time, a clever plan appeared in his mind, that is, to drive them to Lunaxio Mountain, which is inaccessible to people. "How?" Although Guntram's expression and tone of inquiry were quite gentle, Zhou Yilang could feel that he had no choice. What kind of existence is a witch?However, since you are a knowledgeable person, maybe you can ask them for advice.Besides, he really wants to know about the things in this world, and wants to learn more, which is also for the sake of dreaming.Zhou Yilang thinks so. "Just follow this arrangement." After Zhou Yilang explained to the immature fairy Goddess Duomeng and obtained a promise, he passed it on to the translator in writing and replied to Guntram. "Mr. Zhou..." After returning to the original guest room in the palace, Duomeng immediately grabbed Yi Yilang's robe with an expression of anxiety. "Dream, nothing to worry about, Mr. Zhou must..." "It's not about that..." "...What is that?" "That room, didn't you feel that there was someone in that purple room?" "Is there anyone in there?" "I felt as if someone was in there, and that person seemed to be listening to us all the time." "Really? I don't feel anything at all..." Probably the nervousness caused by extreme anxiety, Zhou Yilang thought to himself. "Duomeng, don't worry. No matter what happens, Mr. Zhou will definitely protect you." "Oh." Zhou Yilang hugged Duomeng, who was livid, into his arms, and gently stroked the restless niece's head.Zhou Yilang's action seemed to be a way to get rid of his own anxiety. Ortrik, known as the "Red Man", is currently the current king of Güntheram, the hometown of Gifred, Algila. "Has Caladova defeated Padraon?" By the time this news reached the ears of Otrik of the Kingdom of Argila, which was nine countries away from the west of the Kingdom of Caladova, it was already a month after the fall of Padraon. "You said that this Caladovan regent named Günteram is my younger brother Myron?" "Yes. According to rumors, he appeared in the Kingdom of Caladova nine years ago. He currently claims to be Günteram and is in charge of state affairs as the Queen's husband." The person who answered was Otrik's confidant, Lord Afrio.Although he is only about twenty-five years old, quite young, he is a man full of domineering and resourceful.Algila and Caladova have no direct contacts. This rumor came from a diplomatic country that sandwiched the two countries. "That Myron... I can't believe it. Is he confused with someone else?" Ortrik, dressed in armor, looked at Afrio with an expression of disbelief.Myron has no arrogance at all, and in the eyes of Ortrik, he is just a lazy and incompetent younger brother.Besides, he always thought that Myron had died in the blizzard long ago.Unexpectedly, Myron is not only alive, but also possesses the strength enough to annex the great country Padraon. "Although it's just a rumor, it should generally be true. However, compared to those things, His Majesty had better focus on the war in front of him now." "I see." Autric stood up amidst the rustle of his armor.Next, he will personally command the war with the neighboring country, the Principality of Calorande. "attack!" That Myron... As if trying to get rid of this doubt, Ortrik swung his sword vigorously.
