Princess Haehwa observed the castle walls for longer than expected.

Perhaps the walls seen here will serve as a useful example when she returns to the north.

The question of what would happen if the Empire’s important defense system were revealed to the North should not be asked.

In a situation where it is still unclear whether humanity can survive in the contaminated zone, there would be nothing more foolish than splitting the internal conflict.

The North becoming stronger will help humanity survive.

And shouldn’t the North be strong so that Princess Haehwa can come out from there and do activities that are helpful to the empire?

“How was it?”

“It was a much bigger help than I thought. I think it was a good thing I came. My friend didn’t have fun because of me, right? sorry.”

“no. I also found the contaminated area seen from the top of the castle wall to be quite worth seeing. “It’s been a while since I’ve been feeling quite emotional.”

In fact, polluted areas are places that evoke unpleasant emotions to the point where just looking at them makes you feel bad.

When I see the polluted areas spread all around me from the top of the castle wall, I feel determined to work harder.

‘We must ensure that the day comes when everything is no longer a contaminated area when viewed from the top of the castle wall.’

Of course, it is still a goal that seems distant.

Still, it was impossible for us to coexist forever while stepping on the same land as that unpleasant polluted zone.

Even if you become an awakened person who can breathe even in a contaminated area, a deep sense of disgust comes over you when you look at that place.

‘You have to uproot the whole thing and completely erase its existence.’

While walking down the castle wall, Princess Haehwa noticed a part she had not noticed before and asked in surprise.

“uh? Isn’t that a polluted area? “It’s been purified, right?”

The difference between the contaminated zone and the ordinary land was so clear that you could tell it with your eyes, so you could tell right away that it was a clean land.

Actually, it wasn’t surprising.

As the front lines begin to use purification liquid and achieve great results, the empire is going crazy with the untimely cleanup of contaminated areas.

“you’re right. “It must have been secured by purifying the land with purification fluid.”

“It worked well in our land, but the empire has already been purified just as much as me. It was good to be able to quickly remove the contaminated area, but protecting it is not easy. “The monsters are trying to pollute the cleansed land again.”

“The empire begins now. “In the future, we will regain a lot of the land we lost.”

“We want to do that too.”

“Of course you should. There will come a day when both the North and the Empire will completely escape the pollution zone.”

“It’s nice to just imagine. “It’s about creating a world where children can live peacefully without worrying about monsters.”

The disappearance of polluted areas will not create peace without war in this world.

At that time, humans will start war again due to greed.

‘Because today’s enemy becomes tomorrow’s friend, and today’s friend becomes tomorrow’s enemy, that’s war.’

However, because he did not want to break the sentiments of the dreamy Princess Haehwa, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

“It’s the boss!”

“The man is here? where… uh? “Is it true?”

“and! What’s going on? It’s been so long! president!”

Oh my.

After seeing a group of people approaching me and greeting me, I wondered for a moment whether I should like it or not.

“What brings you here?”

“Are you here to see us?”

Who else but my children would love me if they found me on the front lines?

Shine, Baine, and Ariando spotted me and were approaching me with sparkling eyes.

He seemed very happy to meet me, but I couldn’t just be embarrassed, so I decided to say hello.

“I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to excuse me for a moment.”

“are you okay. “Let’s talk.”

With Princess Haehwa’s permission, I immediately turned to the children and said,

I had an idea to introduce Princess Haehwa to my children someday.

But it doesn’t have to be now, does it?

Moreover, I wanted to avoid things happening without a plan like now.

“A long time. “You seem to be doing well.”

“Of course we’re doing well! “We’re really flying around.”

Even when I brought Princess Haehwa to see the front lines, I never thought that I would be able to meet the children.

This is because the probability of going out on operations and wandering around contaminated areas was much higher.

“Fran would be really happy if he found out that you’re here, but do you think we should bring him?”

“Why bring a child who is working? done.”

“But really, what’s going on here? “Are you sure you came to see us?”

Before I knew it, Shine was hanging on to my forearm, as if telling me to give him the answer he wanted.

“That can’t be possible. “How busy am I?”

“Tch! Then you were planning to go just to see the Commander?”

“Isn’t it obvious? “You guys are all busy with missions, so why bother?”

“It doesn’t bother me at all!”

“that’s right. Be sure to come see us when you come. Otherwise, I will be very disappointed and will harass you later.”

I was very concerned that Princess Haehwa was listening to this entire conversation.

Now that it was official business, it was necessary to separate the children.

“Just stay away for a moment. “I didn’t come here to have fun.”

“It seems to me that you are here to have fun, right?”

Ariando suddenly became perverse at my words and blatantly tried to steal a glance at Princess Haehwa, who was covering her with his back.

“Uh-huh, stop.”

“Who are you hiding from?”

“Let’s see your face! “You’re so handsome that you don’t even want to show your face?”

Shine and Ariando started moving, aiming behind me.

Considering their physical abilities, it was not at a level where I could stop them.

“stop!”

“Oh, what a surprise.”

“Why are you yelling? Chiit, it was a joke.”

“You said you came to work. “You can’t be rude.”

Can not help it.

Since it caught the kids’ attention, I thought it would be better to introduce it properly.

Princess Haehwa probably hopes so too.

“Princess, may I briefly introduce you to someone I know?”

“I like it!”

just as expected.

Princess Haehwa gave an affirmative answer as if she had been waiting for my question.

“This is Princess Haehwa from the North, and the reason I came here today is because I have to guide her.”

“ah!”

Ariando and Shine, who recognized that they had made an accident that could cause major diplomatic problems, immediately apologized.

“sorry!!”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were a princess.”

Even though they were reckless colts, they knew how to admit their mistakes and apologize.

“sorry. “I should have introduced them before they did that.”

I also added apples to it, and Princess Haehwa waved both hands and said,

“are you okay! I wasn’t offended. “I’m angry about this.”

Ariando breathed a sigh of relief at Princess Haehwa’s words.

“And it was nice to see Suhan’s acquaintance for the first time! “The Lord of the Sangang is a friend to me too!”

“… ??”

“???”

“??”

The children’s eyes become suspicious at Princess Haehwa’s bright remarks.

It was something I would never have said in a public relationship.

“Right?”

Princess Haehwa, a friend’s friend is a friend! That’s what I said with that feeling.

“hmm… Yeah, whatever. you’re right.”

It would be good for the kids and Princess Haehwa to become close friends, so although he was hesitant, he gave a positive answer.

“Are you guys soldiers?”

“uh… yes. that’s right.”

“oh my god! Great. cool.”

“Thank you?”

“Can I perhaps invite you to dinner? “As long as you don’t be rude to Commander Thalia and you.”

Princess Haehwa was very happy to hear that he was a soldier, and immediately said that she wanted to invite him to dinner.

If it were any other soldier, he would have been so sad and cried for his life, but as you know, aren’t our children members of Thalia’s direct unit?

There will be no pretense if you have dinner with her.

“It’ll probably be okay. “These children are members of the unit directly managed by Commander Thalia.”

“I want to hear what happened on the front lines. You fight monsters and purify them yourself, right? Right?”

Princess Haehwa took Ariando’s hand and squeezed it and looked at him with begging eyes.

Even Ariando, who was very sociable, seemed slightly embarrassed by Princess Haehwa’s outspoken sociability.

“Well, is that right? “It’s what we do.”

“I want to listen! Please! “Please do me a favor.”

“uh… So, you want to invite us to a meal with the Commander?”

“that’s right.”

“If that’s the case, there won’t be any problem. But I think it would be a bit crazy to have everyone go, so I’ll just go with Vine.”

“yes!”

Princess Haehwa is still smiling brightly, probably happy that she was given permission.

I was already worried about what would happen at the suddenly spectacular dinner.

‘Still, I was fortunate that Ariando sorted out the situation quite neatly in the end.’

Looking at that, I could see that Ariando had become quite mature.

Plus, I didn’t know, but it seemed like he didn’t use his typical childish tone anymore.

Although it seemed like he was embarrassed or his old way of speaking suddenly came out in front of familiar and familiar people.

‘Has he grown in his own way? Whoever raised him was very good at raising him.’

Of course, I was the one who raised him.

So I think you deserve to feel proud.

“I can go too, is that okay?”

Shine, who suddenly avoided the meal, spoke with concern.

“are you okay. You have night patrol at night so you need to rest. “Let’s call Fran and Gabrielle, eat some food, and get some rest.”

When I asked why Shine was removed, I had no idea such a situation existed.

Ariando was still small and cute like a little girl, but I felt that she had become a dependable and reliable colleague.
