The next morning.

As I walked out the door, I happened to meet Lucille.

“… ”

“… ”

We couldn’t say a word to each other.

However, they stopped at each other as if they had made a promise.

‘What should I do?’

Should we blame Lucille? You violated the law of heaven by forcibly violating me?

Do I deserve it? Haven’t I also been unable to resist pleasure?

Yesterday, Lucille said.

[You will be my first and last. Would you, who has a strong sense of responsibility, really be able to abandon me? Can you prioritize Leona over me like you did today?]

That would be correct. I had become Lucille’s first and last, and now I had no choice but to put her first in everything I did.

Even though it happened to me unilaterally. It was because he had formed such a relationship with Lucille.

Even though Lucille was bluffing.

Her repeated regression over 10 times. I would be her first and last man for a long time.

A woman’s first man and her last man also have obligations.

Moreover, if you are the first and last man, the duty is doubled.

That’s why I said hello. As if nothing had happened.

“Ah, hello Lucille. You woke up early?”

Lucille looked surprised at this and looked around, not knowing where to place her gaze, before quickly answering.

“Yes, yes… I woke up early.”

Aside from that, I have dark circles under my eyes. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t sleep.

It wasn’t too much of a stretch. Because of Lucille’s timid personality, she did such a thing… She must have been worried.

I did it, but I was worried that I might get angry at myself for doing it. You might wonder what would happen if you left forever.

It was dealt unilaterally.

Even so, I took her first and last.

Therefore, I had no choice but to take responsibility for her.

And Lucille expected all of this, so she entered into a relationship by force.

Because she knows that the moment I take her first and last, I have no choice but to take responsibility for her.

‘ha… ‘

Lucille Meyer.

He was a really scary guy. They are using strategies that I cannot predict.

But he is my lovely younger brother.

still.

“Shall we take a walk?”

“ㄴ, yes!”

Lucille answered uncharacteristically energetically and we walked down the hallway.

“Actually, I come from another world.”

“Oh, brother! Those words from outside… ”

“It’s a story that no one will believe anyway. okay. The moral concept of the country I lived in was a bit different than here. It was a country where marriage between relatives was absolutely taboo.”

“… ”

“However, as I read the history of this place, I learned that incestuous marriage is quite common in Arcadia. They say that in order to maintain the purity of blue blood, there is nothing more effective than marrying relatives.”

This is a similar case to the marriage of Habsburg relatives in Earth’s history.

“Lucille.”

“Yes… ”

“I’m sorry for the sudden proposal without a gift or ring. Still, I wanted to tell you as quickly as possible. The longer it is late, the more distressed and afraid you will be. I wanted to convey my feelings as quickly as possible.”

“… ”

“Will you marry me?”

It seems that the guards of a certain city habitually say, ‘I was shot in the knee by an arrow.’ People who don’t know this story tsk tsk and click their tongues, but people who know it laugh. The story about being shot in the knee with an arrow means that he got down on one knee and proposed.

I also got hit in the knee with an arrow. No, I got shot. So I ended up limping. Thinking about such a silly joke, I got down on one knee towards Lucille.

“You really won’t say you don’t like it after doing something like that, right?”

Lucille’s face turned red. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

“Like.”

She smiled broadly. When I saw that smile, I thought. He said things had become complicated.

—–

“So it happened.”

I reported to Leona first. He held Lucille’s hand and crossed the castle to meet Leona. Leona spoke cautiously.

“Well, polygamy is religiously dangerous, but it is not legally prohibited… If it doesn’t work out, you can threaten the clergy and change the doctrine… ”

“Yes?”

“He said congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

Lucille also bowed her head towards her.

We soon had a ceremony.

The wedding took place in a small church and was a simple ceremony with only a few close people invited.

Because it was a difficult time, there was nothing I could do.

Afterwards, Lucille told us what happened during the 18 regressions.

In one history, Onora took control of the world, in another history, Walter took control of the world, and in another history, Felix took control of the world.

But one thing they had in common was that Leona died.

It was definitely because of his subordinate’s rebellion.

As if it were established history.

The quest given to Lucille was also the same as mine.

‘World conquest’, more specifically, ‘world unification’

Out of the 18 regressions, not a single monarch had achieved it, so it seemed that Lucille had never been able to complete the given quest.

“I want to escape from regression and live a normal life. Only one mortal life.”

That was Lucille’s wish. Just as Lucille made me her first and last man, she also wanted to make her life her last life.

“Lucille… ”

“Yes, brother.”

“Let’s do it. For our wishes.”

“Yes!”

I want to go back home.

Lucille wants to live her ‘last life’.

We’ll do our best.

It was for each other’s wishes.

—–

Meanwhile, Letlis was promoted to duke. The original territory was also returned.

This was an award for Letlis helping the Mayer family by stabbing Blois in the back. Although Lettlis had never received any orders, he moved on his own initiative and attacked Blois, which became a major success.

In response, Leona realized that Letless’ territory was realistically far from the ally’s capital, making it difficult to control, and that Letless himself was capable of making flexible decisions, so she returned autonomy to Letless, allowing Lettlis to conduct politics and war on her own. It has been done.

It was all for saving Franz Mayer.

Meanwhile, Leona began discussing everything with Franz Mayer from then on.

Franz Mayer would stick by Leona’s side and discuss future grand strategies and things to do.

However, there was one thing that was disappointing.

The problem was that he could not enjoy his honeymoon with Lucille.

Franz Mayer was busy. There was no part of Krusenstein’s affairs, including politics, diplomacy, and military strategy, that he was not involved in.

Lucille Meyer was also busy. This is because he had to return home due to the death of Georg Mayer.

The position of deputy mayor was vacant. This position will again be Lucille’s role.

That was until Felix grew up enough to become Franz’s minister.

Then one day, Leona suddenly spoke.

“I will raise an army of 200,000 people.”

It was an unprecedented declaration.

“Yes? What do you mean by that?”

Franz asked in confusion.

“If our army gathers all its forces, it will be enough to number 200,000. We will gather an unprecedented amount of troops and attack Blois de Savoy.”

“Your Majesty, it’s like using a cow-killing knife to kill a chicken. Savoy’s territory lies between friendly territories. In other words, if you regularly raise a small army and harass them, they will slowly wither away and die.”

“I know. What I have in mind is not strategy or tactical victory.”

“If that’s the case… ?”

“Reclaim Krusenstein’s name. Krusenstein, who had always been victorious, was humiliated by the Blois-Steinian combined forces. If they are stopped and killed, Krusenstein’s army will forever have a record of defeat. If they disappear, you won’t even get a chance for revenge.”

“Ah… ”

“For us, it is just an illusion, but for the soldiers, such an illusion becomes a jinx. The myth of invincibility inspires soldiers and makes them risk their lives to fight. That’s why I wanted to regain the name of invincibility.”

“… ”

“Is it the opposite?”

She asked Franz cautiously.

“If you are against it, I will not do it. From now on, I will listen to you carefully.”

The way she spoke like that was like a child pestering a toy.

“Charge.”

Franz said to Leona.

“Sounds like a good idea.”

Savoy will die anyway.

However, if you raise an army of 200,000 people, following Sthenia, even Albrecht will send reinforcements to Savoy.

That’s because they know full well that if Savoy falls, they will be next, as they are pure hammers.

Steenia, Albrecht, Savoy.

If they gather soldiers, it will be around 130,000 to 140,000.

With an overwhelming force of 200,000, we crush the enemy of 140,000 and solidify our army as the loser of the world.

Krusenstein’s strategy is correct. Even though she was a foolish person who trusted people easily and was betrayed every time, she was an exceptional genius when it came to strategy.

“Charge.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s do it.”

She grinned.

“Okay.”

It was the beginning of a great war that had not happened for 60 years.
