“I bought us time by holding the Imperial Army at Tarens Mountain. If it wasn’t for me, we would have been ambushed and lost the castle.”
“I can’t risk putting you in danger again after you were nearly killed as a prisoner.”
“I repelled the Imperial Army that had entered the capital with my strategy.”
“That was thanks to the weather. We cannot entrust the fate of the nation to such luck and coincidence.”
“I caught a spy from the Empire. I can be of help too.”
“Keep quiet about that. It’s not a good story for the crown prince.”
It was Mei who had been serving the crown prince for a long time.
That he was a spy for the Empire was an event that could cause a fatal misunderstanding.
The king had issued a gag order as soon as he received the report from the captain of the guard, Zer.
“But I also want to fight for Iorenty. Father.”
The king looked at Delia with a heavy expression.
Her blue eyes were filled with a sense of injustice.
Delia, who resembled Leopold III, the virtuous king, the most in character.
She had a strong sense of pride and competitiveness.
She had strong driving force to make a judgement and push forward.
More than anything, she resembled him in her feelings for Iorenty.
Her heart that loves everything on the land of Iorenty.
“No. You should go to Boswell as soon as you are ready.”
If only Delia had been the heir to the throne.
He had been looking at Delia with such thoughts for more than a day or two.
But such regrets could only be had in a time of peace.
With the Empire’s invasion shaking the existence of the country, there was no room for concerns about succession in a situation where the promise of tomorrow could not be made.
As a father, it was time to make a decision, understanding the heart of young Delia.
The king’s voice, mixed with a sigh, resonated heavily in the dining hall.
“Fulfill your duty as the Princess of Iorenty.”
“Fighting together is also the duty of the royal family. My brother is also on the battlefield, why do you only want to send me?”
“Each has their own tasks to fulfill. Instead of a sword, you should hold a bouquet. It is the duty of the princess to go to Boswell and strengthen the alliance.”
“Father!!!”
Delia, unable to control her anger, slammed her spoon down on the table and stood up.
“If Boswell wanted to play its role as an ally, it would have done so long ago.”
The king looked at his daughter with deeply sunken eyes.
“……Boswell promised. They agreed to support us with 30,000 soldiers in exchange for a royal marriage.”
“What?”
At the unexpected words, Delia shut her mouth.
Why did Boswell, who had been ignoring us until now, suddenly… Why?
Delia’s gaze at her father cooled for a moment.
The king stared into her eyes and gave his final order.
“So don’t refuse any more and go to Boswell.”
The queen, trying to control her emotions during the argument between her husband and daughter, gently closed her eyes.
The large dining hall was filled with a quiet silence, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
The silence filled the room, making it hard to breathe.
So it was heard more clearly.
The urgent sound of footsteps, like the prelude to a requiem.
One of the stewards, with a pale face, quickly crossed the quiet dining hall and approached the king.
“Your Majesty.”
As the steward bent his waist and whispered to the king, the king’s expression grew darker.
After listening attentively for a while, the king finally hit the table roughly.
“What a goodfornothing.”
The king’s icy energy froze the atmosphere in the hall in an instant.
Everyone’s gaze at the king wavered anxiously.
As the steward stepped back, the king finally opened his mouth.
“I just received news that our army has suffered a great defeat in the Battle of Kabat Plains.”
Clang.
The cup that the queen had been holding fell onto the floor of the hall, making a loud noise as it shattered.
The tiny scattered glass fragments seemed to symbolize the future of Eorenti.
Cabat Plains was the place where most of Eorenti’s forces were concentrated.
The fact that the Stilates Empire won there meant that there was nothing to stop the Empire’s forces any longer.
“Oh, what happened to Crown Prince Alberto?”
The trembling queen’s voice echoed urgently.
The king could not answer easily.
After a moment of hesitation, he uttered in a melancholy voice.
“He got scattered during the battle, and I have no way to know whether he’s alive or dead.”
At the king’s words, tears streamed from the queen’s eyes.
Her cheeks were wet with the grief of not knowing the life or death of her son.
The king firmly gripped the trembling queen’s hand and stared directly at Delia.
“General Enrico is fixing the situation and moving to the next line of defense. Are you going to be stubborn in this situation?”
“Father.”
The king’s firm command fell to the furious Delia.
“Right now, as the princess of Eorenti, your job is to go to Boswell and strengthen relations with the allied country. That is your duty, and the only thing you can do for Eorenti.”
Delia gritted her teeth and looked at her father.
The duty of a princess.
Something for Eorenti.
In a crisis like this, it was necessary for Eorenti to strengthen alliances and secure reinforcements.
Her father’s judgment was a legitimate judgment as a king.
And she, as a princess of Eorenti, had a duty to arrange a marriage that benefits the country.
If it was a real marriage that benefited the country…
With her nails digging into her palm from the tightly clenched fist, Delia responded with a trembling voice.
“I understand. I’ll go to Boswell.”
With those words, Delia harshly pushed her chair away.
The eerie sound of the chair scraping the marble floor divided the hearts of the mother and daughter.
Delia turned her back on her father.
The harsh sound of Delia leaving the dining room seeped into the silent ears of the king and queen.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
