* * *

One day, Farfalle took care of overall state affairs in place of Lin, who had lost the ability to make sound decisions.

Due to an urgent call from Castle Lord Rem, Farfalle hurriedly headed to the main castle of Zeeland Castle.

“What’s going on?”

“I… … Bookman. This edict just came out… … !”

“Yes? … … Decree?”

Now that the throne is empty, who is sending the edict?

As Farfalle thought about that, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

‘no way… … !!!’

“Well, I’m not sure what’s going on either, but first of all, let’s do this… … !”

Farfalle accepted the paper Rem handed her.

If we were to remove all unnecessary rhetoric and summarize only the core content, it was roughly as follows.

[We can no longer entrust the future of Brans County to Lin Brans.

Was it not enough to lose most of the territory in the central continent due to careless management, and would it make sense to join hands with Serpina, a demon who was even his enemy?

Therefore, I, Kalinz Brans, hereby declare that I have personally ascended to the position of monarch of Brans County in order to continue the glory of Brans County that has been passed down from my ancestors.

So that the castle lords who will follow me can reply quickly.

The territory where the castle lord did not reply was defined as an enemy country, and a call was made to reclaim the territory at the risk of war.

The second monarch of Brans County, Kalintz Brans.]

The Carlinz Rebellion.

Farfalle, who read the edict, was shocked in a different way.

‘what? It’s what Kalinz Brands did… … ?’

Kalinz was the person currently serving as the acting lord of Annell Castle.

He didn’t know the details of Rin’s current condition, but he knew that she needed medical treatment.

There is only one reason why Farfalle chose Kalinz rather than Chel as the castle owner.

This was because he was not a man with great ambition to plan treason or something like that.

Moreover, if it were Chell, who was crazy about battle and built a lot of military skills, many people would follow him.

Because he did not make any special achievements, he was not popular.

No matter how much of the Brans family’s blood flows, isn’t it clear that there are only a few people who would join in a rebellion with a particularly unpopular man?

In other words, I asked him, not Chell, because I was confident that he would not do anything useless if I entrusted him with the castle of Anel.

But treason?

That Calinz Brans?

By the time I was in a somewhat incomprehensible situation and my head was aching… … Rem asked her carefully.

“I… … What should I do?”

“How are you sleeping? Isn’t this treason? Obviously you shouldn’t reply. It makes no sense to tolerate something like this when my lord is alive with his eyes open.”

“… … but… … .”

Rem, who knew that Rin’s current situation was not good, lowered his head with a very worried expression.

Farfalle couldn’t bear to get angry at that, and thought as she placed her hand on her throbbing forehead.

Why now?

I thought I was hiding the information that Rin was insane, but could that information have leaked out?

If Carlinz, who had no courage, chose the option of rebellion, it may be reasonable to assume that information was leaked.

Because a secret can no longer be a secret once it is out loud.

I just cursed the sky.

Why are things like this happening one after another in our military?

no-

When I thought about it, there was something I was more worried about than that.

‘That proud Chell was taken under the wing of Kalinz, who is less important than himself?’

Chell following Lin was extremely simple.

This was because Lin was much better than Chell in politics.

Chell had a very good understanding of his subject, even if it wasn’t about combat. To him, his younger sister Rin was a lord worth serving, and that was why he continued to follow her without any complaints.

But Kalinz is different.

In terms of battle, in terms of politics, in terms of politics – in all aspects, he was a man of less importance than Chell.

It was absolutely not true that Kalinz was an incompetent person, but it was also true that he was an ordinary person with no improvement compared to Chell.

But you just silently watched Kalinz ascend to the throne?

Considering that the edict was sent all the way to Zeeland Castle, it was highly unlikely that Chell, stationed near the capital, would not have known this news.

That moment when I felt a crazy sense of discomfort and was lost in thought for a moment.

“Seo, Seongju!”

A soldier hurriedly rushed into the throne room.

“What’s going on?”

“Well, that’s… … At Castle Heisel, the rebels… … !!”

“!!!”

“If you’re talking about the rebels, I’ve already heard about it. Our castle will not participate.”

Unlike Rem, who answered casually, Farfalle froze in place as soon as she heard the soldier’s words.

Heisel Castle.

It was a castle near Annel Castle, and was a very important military base.

and… … The place where Kalinz, who sent this edict, is now, is not Heisel Castle.

“Now, wait… … Did you just say Heisel Castle?”

“Yes, that’s right… … !”

To Farfalle’s question, the soldier managed to answer in a strained voice, as if he didn’t know what to do.

“At Heisel Castle… … General Chell rebelled… … !!”

“Ah… … !!”

Slurp.

“Chae, Master… … !!”

Rem helped Farfalle, who was still sitting there.

At a very important moment when the northern front line has been barely blocked after humiliation, and the glory of the past must be restored somehow… … Literally everything started to fall apart.

Serpina’s most dangerous rival, Brans.

The Brans army is divided into three parts, and the most threatening rival takes the step of self-destruction.

All of this was the butterfly effect triggered by forming an alliance with Serpina’s army.

[It is an efficient alliance that provides a great opportunity for our allies.]

It was the moment when the prediction of 100 intelligence came true again, but-

There was no way for Farfalle, a bookmaker from another country, to know that fact.

“This can’t be happening… … .”

Farfalle failed to come up with any solution… … Finally, I had no choice but to admit it.

There is no way to get the tilted Brans Army back on track.

No, even if there was a way to do it, it would be too much for one’s own strength.

What she can do now in the face of this ‘unconditional logic’ is… … there was nothing.

‘like this… … ‘Does this mean it will end like this?’

It might not have been possible in peacetime, but since the country was torn into three, he had no choice but to lose the power to lead the country.

No, even in this critical situation, if Farfalle rather than Lin were to run the government, the generals under his command would definitely have doubts. What on earth is my lord doing?

In that case, the lord will have no choice but to reveal what the situation is, and if that happens… …

‘no… … Oh God… … !!’

The moment when Farfalle fell into the abyss of endless despair.

“Farfalle!”

“… … ?”

Farfalle raised her head and looked towards the person calling her name.

This voice… … It was the voice of Lord Lyn Brans.

“Master… … ?”

“I’m sorry… … It seems like I put you through a hard time one way or another.”

Farfalle raised her head and looked at her master, Rin.

She must have been out of her mind due to trauma?

However, the color of her face now was noticeably different from before.

“Master, no way… … ?”

“Yes. I remembered… … Everything.”

“Master… … !!!”

Farfalle knelt down and sobbed in front of her.

At the very end, in a situation where the wind blows like a candle blowing out, the lord Lin Brans dramatically regains his sanity.

I don’t believe in God, but does this mean heaven really answered my prayers?

Whatever it was, from Farfalle’s perspective, it couldn’t have been anything other than fortunate.

“Thank goodness. I’m really, really glad… … !”

“I… … Master, have you come to your senses?”

Rin nodded and answered the cautious question of Rem next to her.

“Yes. I am also indebted to Rem. Sorry.”

“No. I’m so glad.”

Lin spoke in a calm tone.

“Anyway… … I heard some things on the way here. I think there was a rebellion, right?”

“Master, that is… … .”

“Okay… … Because half of it is my fault. who is this? Chel, brother? Or another person?”

“… … General Zell and General Kalinz, both are rebels.”

“What? Did you two finally hold hands?”

“That’s not it… … Apparently, each person rebels.”

“… … I see.”

Rin took a deep breath and bent down to help Farfalle stand up.

“The best thing we can do now is defense. Who is in Annel Castle?”

“This is General Kalinz.”

“Then the capital defense force is probably under the control of Brother Kalintz. If the two people’s forces were divided, all worthy generals would have gone under Brother Chell. Since we have clearly lost most of our troops and officers, it would be impossible to recapture Castle Anel now.”

“Master… … !”

As Rin calmly grasped the situation, Farfalle was reminded of Rin when the gun was still alive.

“First of all, I think it would be better to let the castle lords know that I am alive and well, and rally the forces that are not joining the rebels to build a defense line as much as possible. What do you think? ”

“I also think that is the best way. In any case, seeing as General Chell and General Kalinz are divided, it seems unlikely that they will unite, so perhaps we can expect a fisherman’s relationship. I think it would be okay to watch the situation for a while.”

“… … okay. I’m going to be a little busy starting today. I’m sorry for all the trouble you’ve been through, Farfalle.”

“No, my lord. That farfalle… … I will be by your side and assist you until the last moment.”

Without answering, Rin gave Rem general instructions and then slowly left the throne room.

As she listened to Farfalle’s footsteps following her, she calmly lost herself in thought.

‘Looking at it calmly, it is safe to say that even if we somehow overcome this opportunity, there is no longer any possibility for our Brans County to become a unified empire. Because the country was divided into three branches. However, it must not fall like this. Instead of destroying ourselves in this way, we should end up as a nation that fights until the end, even if it means destruction. If you don’t… … .’

Rin thought as she held back tears that threatened to flow again.

‘Because I don’t have the honor to see Irene, who risked her life to protect our Brans army… … .’

So, it cannot fall like this.

I know it’s too late, but… … I no longer wanted to feel sorry for Irene.

‘Even if Iren doesn’t forgive me, I will fight for the name of Brans that Iren tried to protect until the end. I will never let it be destroyed in vain without any help being used.’

Although the blue dream that Rin had always had was fleetingly shattered due to her series of foolish choices-

A man named Lin Brans, who had escaped the shackles of continental unification, paradoxically shined brighter than ever.

It was Lin’s potential that only Lin’s father, Orlando Brans, noticed early on.
