An orange sunset comes through the carriage window.

Debian is sleeping in a carriage chair.

It’s so hot that sweat is beading on his forehead, so I carefully wipe it away with a handkerchief.

How busy have you been lately?

I don’t feel comfortable seeing people always busy at the Grand Study Department, having meetings or having people visit from outside.

I’m sorry… I couldn’t help you.

He when I rule this vast empire. It’s like my compass.

dark night.

Like the North Star, which clearly illuminates the north and shows the way forward in a forest where one is lost.

Because he always tells me which way to go.

I feel sad that I cannot help him in such an urgent situation.

“Ugh…”

It’s so hard these days that I feel so miserable when I hear these sounds of pain while I’m sleeping.

Was I only this good?

-Squeak.

Mary says, opening the carriage window and sticking her head out.

“Oppa, are you sleeping peacefully?”

“Don’t be like that. He said he only slept two hours today.”

As I spoke, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, Mary raised both hands and sighed.

“value. I’m newly married. You left your husband and called me this far.”

Mary’s blunt words.

“If it weren’t really for Oppa and the matriarch, wow!”

The sight of Mary raising her fist feels cute.

I can’t believe such a slender girl fights so well.

I honestly can’t believe it, having seen Mary fight in past tournaments.

The sight of such a small body being surrounded by dozens of adult men and beating them with wooden swords…

It would have been hard to believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.

“But how much further can I go?”

At my words, Mary takes out a map from her pocket and says.

“An hour or two? That’s enough to get there, right?”

I nod my head at those words.

“Until then. Let Debian sleep soundly.”

Mary laughs and says at my words.

“Does your new sister like you that much?”

My face heats up a little at those words, but I nod slightly.

“Yes. good. I love him.”

Mary chuckles at my small but firm words.

“Hey?”

Mary makes a mischievous face.

“Sister, do you know that? When my older brother first married my older sister. Was your brother really scared of you?”

Those words make me wonder.

Debian is scared of me?

I ask a question about Mary’s words, which I don’t understand.

“Does he have any reason to be afraid of me? Rather, he is the one who has everything?”

Mary seemed to find my words funny.

“Tsk!, Actually, there are my maids in the imperial palace, right? Do they know why my brother borrowed it?”

I think about those words for a moment.

Before the wedding, I tried to leave Roman with my family.

I thought it was probably to stop me from doing stupid things?

Most of Debian’s soldiers are men.

I know it’s because they have a lot of trouble following and monitoring the ladies.

“Isn’t that because it’s impossible for men to follow women all day long?”

When actually taking a bath or changing clothes. Because they keep it outside.

If it’s the same woman, she may come in with the excuse of being a helper, change her clothes, or help her take a bath.

“Puhup… Dang!, At that time, my brother was afraid that my sister would poison him, so he borrowed my maid.”

I feel dumbfounded by those words.

When I had tea with me the other day. Not even caring about poisoning?

Before marriage.

When he was planning to marry me.

There was a time when I hated being married to him more than dying.

It seems pretty old. In reality, the story is not even a year old.

I once invited him to a meal to discourage him from thinking about marrying me.

At that time, I told him that I might have poisoned the food to show him that I was not going easy.

But he ate his food calmly…

[If I die, my soldiers will run wild. Are you really able to handle that chaos?]

I said this.

It seems as if Roman will end if he dies.

After saying that, I was shaking afterward.

I think it might be Debian-like.

He is wise, wise, and soft-hearted.

He always does the right thing, but if he has to shed blood on his way, it is Devian who, after careful consideration, will shed blood and mourn afterwards.

A person like an iron man, but softer than anyone else.

“He seems infinitely strong, but his heart is soft.”

Saying that, he wipes away the sweat of his lovely Devian.

***

He releases the sheep near the Golden Knights’ camp and secretly looks at the place where the Golden Knights and the Grand Duchy’s soldiers met.

The Grand Duke and Emperor getting off a gorgeous carriage.

It’s quite a distance, but if you wear a magical monocle, you can see everything far away at a glance.

Through his eyes, we witness the meeting between the Archduke and William.

‘As expected, the two made contact.’

He is a spy from Nicaea who was dispatched to find out the movements of the Golden Knights and the Archduke.

A spy disguised as an ordinary shepherd watches the two.

‘It would be correct to say that the Archduke and William have resolved their misunderstanding.’

We have no choice but to pay attention to the movements of the Archduke and William in Nicaea.

Currently, the most feared units among the imperial units in Nicaea are the Golden Knights and the Giant Legion.

In the past, whenever the border was nearly breached by an attack by the Babylonian Empire, their martial arts skills came to help…

Fear was truly imprinted in Nicaea.

‘But we have far more numbers.’

Additionally, if Nicaea were to take control of important bases before direct combat, it would be quite a headache for the empire.

After a while, the spy, who saw the Grand Duke, the Emperor, and Princesses William and Mary entering the carriage, took out a piece of paper and a small quill from his pocket, lay down on the grass, and began writing a report.

‘Now… where will the Golden Knights head?’

It is obvious that you will either enter Dupol through Dupol’s side road, or take a sharp turn and go to Eren or Bohemi.

After the meeting, if the Golden Knights head north, they will go to Eren or Bohemi, and if they head east, they will go to Dupol. All you have to do is write in the report and launch the Jeonseogu, and that’s probably an easy task.

William soon gets off the carriage.

‘Now, where are you going?’

Looking at William’s majestic appearance, he swallows his saliva.

The spy, knowing that his and the Golden Knights’ whereabouts will have a huge impact on the war, looks at them with bated breath…

“Huh?”

The next scene takes place in a situation that the spy did not expect.

William clenched his fists and shouted loudly…

The Golden Knights begin to take off their armor.

And the Grand Duchy’s soldiers tied their hands…

“Huh? Why is it like that?”

The spy can’t help but be surprised at the sight of them being arrested and paraded around like criminals.

‘Could it be… are they arresting me? The Golden Knights?’

Thinking that this could not be possible, the spy watches the situation closely.

The spy, who watched the entire scene leading them to Roman, tore up the previously written report, took out a new piece of paper from his pocket, and hastily wrote something new.

‘The Golden Knights… were arrested.’

Most people, including myself, would never have thought of this situation.

Arresting the hero of the country’s salvation. Is the Archduke crazy?

The spy believes that this important news must be conveyed to Byzantium, the capital of Nicaea, as soon as possible.

***

He arrests William and the Golden Knights and watches them enter Roman’s prison.

Many imperial citizens in front of the prison look at the scene with confused expressions.

The reaction was just as I expected.

It was expected that the people of the empire would be shaken if William, the hero of the country’s salvation, and the Golden Knights were imprisoned.

If Ioanes found out about this, he would be happy with his double flag, right?

With that in mind, I watch them being imprisoned with joy.

In order to incarcerate all the members of the Golden Knights, among the prisoners currently imprisoned in Roman, those with lighter sentences were issued a pardon, and those with heavier sentences were all moved to other areas.

He smiles, thinking that now all he has to do is place intelligence agents in prison.

“First of all, this matter has been completed.”

“But… you really don’t want to keep them rotting in prison, right?”

Theodora spoke with an anxious face and I nodded.

“Yes. They have work to do soon. Just until then.”

Who would make fun of the greatest military group called the Golden Knights for anyone to like?

Still, this is my first time being imprisoned. I guess I should tell the Intelligence Department in advance and let them drink and eat as much meat as they want.

Theodora nods her head in relief at my words.

“I believe it.”

at that time.

“Your Highness the Archduke!, Your Highness the Archduke! This is an urgent report!”

A messenger riding a horse hands me a piece of paper, which I open and open.

“Ah…”

I guess my warning to Eren and Bohemi had an effect, so I summoned more troops than I expected.

60,000 in total.

If you include the 10,000 people I sent, the total is 70,000.

Although it is slightly less than the 130,000-strong army, I still think that it will not collapse easily at this level.

Hope is starting to appear one by one.

Dupol’s battle situation is not that good, but if Eren and Bohemi do not collapse, victory is on their side.

“What is the news that makes you smile like that?”

Theodora asks curiously and I hand her the letter.

“Huh? Isn’t this good news?”

“Good news. Because it means that Eren and Bohemi will not fall apart right away.”

If this happens, I don’t feel bad because I think the Adriatic landing operation will be effective.

The United Kingdom’s ship will soon arrive in the Grand Duchy.

in other words. Now is the time to pass the Alliance Treaty with the United Kingdom in Congress.

The emperor faction is generally in favor as the situation is urgent, but the neutral faction is quite concerned.

First of all, I’m sure I’ll pass…

“I’m glad. I heard good news.”

When Theodora spoke with a bright smile, I suddenly felt excited.
