The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

41 – Loyalty to you (3)

In the past, the Kingdom of Deipson was located in a location facing the border with the Kingdom of Regius to the north.

Deipson was also responsible for the territory that Helia abandoned when she swallowed Regius, and the problem of the monsters that inhabited that area.

Perhaps the fall of the Deipson Kingdom may have been an extension of what happened back then.

It can’t be said that she was aiming for it, but it was a good thing from Helia’s perspective.

“The situation is more serious than we thought. Everything that appeared to be a village was destroyed and the castle was empty. Even the nobles seem to have abandoned their fiefdoms and fled, or have fallen. It’s not common for monsters to increase this much… “

“It either means that Daypson didn’t have that much power, or something big happened that even they couldn’t stop.”

Yuuna and I rode at the front of the line and looked around.

As we passed the border and got closer to Daipson Royal Capital, the sight of the ruined city became more numerous.

At this level, it was safe to judge that playback was already impossible.

“At this rate, we might have requested support from neighboring countries… “I wonder why you came all the way to Lee Ji-gyeong.”

“… surely.”

This was a part I didn’t understand. If they couldn’t solve the monsters with their own power, they would have at least requested assistance.

Even if we borrowed the power of another country, it would have been better than walking down this path of decline.

In Deipson, it was a large kingdom with sufficient wealth.

Looking at the ruined kingdom, we rode in line for a while longer.

“Ugh… “

“Are you okay, princess? “If you go a little further, you will reach the royal road.”

“… are you okay. “It was just a little soreness in my shoulder.”

It may be hard to call it a war, but this march was definitely a campaign.

Yuuna also participated in this expedition as a commander, so she herself wore armor and drove a horse.

As a member of the royal family, he must have received basic education, but it was clear that it would be difficult for him to wear armor and ride a horse for a long time with his frail body.

To be honest, it was a difficult forced march for her. Nevertheless, she proposed and participated in this conquest.

Did he decide that there was something he could gain?

Since I didn’t know his intentions, I had no choice but to just follow him.

“… Please hold on just a little longer.”

Yuna and I were the last to depart with the Ceramide Duke family’s army.

The kingdom’s regular army, led by the 1st prince and 1st princess, had set off long ago, and they probably arrived at Deipson Castle a long time ago and concluded the negotiations.

From King Deipson’s point of view, he would have wanted to save his life, so of course he would have accepted the offer. All we have to do is arrive and participate in exterminating the monsters.

After marching for another hour or so, we finally arrived at the royal capital.

***

“It looks like the kingdom’s army needs to be divided into two, and I think it would be better to deploy the majority of the troops near the southern border.”

“Then I think it would be better for me and the 1st and 2nd Central Knights to take charge of that. Err. Rather, why don’t you stay in the royal capital? “As we deal with monsters, we don’t know what variables will arise.”

“Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine, brother. “I am also a proper royal.”

It was time to devise a strategy.

It was safe to say that it was time for a battle of wits between the first prince and the first princess.

The 1st Prince, who had war experience, had a stronger right to speak, but the 1st Princess did not lose there either.

Because she was also theoretically an elite when it came to war.

Of course, the actual battle was different, so the nobles listened more carefully to the first prince’s words.

“According to information from the Deipson Kingdom, there is a high probability that this area will be the focus of this subjugation. It has the largest amount of monsters, and its range is also wide. It would be a reasonable choice for the 1st and 2nd Knights, to which Commander Mernis belongs, to attack here. And it makes sense for the remaining noble families who are organizing the surrounding area to join quickly. “We have to end it quickly and quickly.”

“… All right. “Let’s do that.”

Due to information from the Deipson Kingdom, the distribution of monsters was known to some extent.

Although the specific tactics would be decided by the knight commanders, the first prince’s right to speak was equally strong.

It meant that he had the qualities to be an excellent commander.

The first princess seemed disappointed, but since his remark was correct, she followed him without any further hesitation.

“Then all that’s left is to search this area. I hope one of the noble families will take care of this… “

Most of the operations had been decided, and there was only one location left.

A desert area of the former Regius Kingdom that the Deipson Kingdom could not search.

Among them, it was necessary to search the central area, which was not easily reached.

However, it is a land that was very desolate, and it is sure to be even more desolate now, so it is not expected that there will be many monsters.

It seemed like the squad searching this place would do a quick search and then take on the role of joining the first prince’s side.

“I want Duke Ceramide and I to go there.”

“… “Yuuna?”

Yuna, who had been keeping her mouth shut the entire time, spoke up as she was diverting her attention since it did not seem to be a very important mission.

First of all, since she was with the Ceramide duchy, she had no actual commanding authority, and since the duchy’s knight commander was already next to her, there was no need to speak separately.

However, the fact that she decided to go on a mission that didn’t seem that important was something that raised questions.

“I think this will be sufficient for subjugating other regions, and I think it would be better to quickly join the 1st Prince’s side in Ceramide, which has the largest military power among the noble families. “I think it would be better to quickly search this area and clear the southern area together.”

“That’s not a bad idea, but… “

In fact, it meant that he would stick to the 1st prince’s side and quickly eliminate the monsters. The search won’t take long anyway.

However, the fact that such a proposal was even made was puzzling.

Ceramide could have been in charge of other, larger battlefields, and there was no reason for Yuna to go forward.

However, everyone else, including the Knight Commander of Ceramide, seemed to agree.

The 1st Prince and 1st Princess also did not attach any royal status to Yuna, perhaps because they were not particularly in check.

“… So let’s do that. Ceramide would like you to complete the search as quickly as possible and stick with us.”

“I will.”

After a few checks, everyone dispersed for a break.

The full-scale subjugation begins tomorrow. We were going to rest in the castle today and then leave tomorrow.

*

“The Fourth Princess is truly an unknown person.”

“… It really is. “From your willingness to participate in the subjugation to your willingness to go to the former territory of Regius.”

“… “I also agree.”

I took a break after briefly switching escort duties with another driver.

Normally, when I was dispatched to a place this far away, I would always be by her side, but I also needed to rest and eat for now.

“It was surprising that the 4th princess said she would follow her to the battlefield, but the 1st princess was also surprising.”

“That said, I don’t think I will participate in the battle myself. Rather, in this case, it seems like the 4 princesses participating in the search would be more dangerous. This means that you must remain with the ranks until you arrive at the 1st Prince’s garrison. Isn’t that right, Beryl?”

Since the 1st Prince and 1st Princess also participated in this subjugation, their respective bodyguards, Lia and Haas, were also present.

Lia is on the 1st prince’s side, and Haas is on the 1st princess’ side.

First of all, since they are both nobles, I couldn’t help but talk about the war of nerves between the two royal families.

In the case of Lia, she seemed to be faithful to her duties as a knight without much interest in royal power.

In the case of Haas, it didn’t show anything like that, but it was hard to know what was going on in that part.

Even though he was only an escort, the person serving him had a rivalry with him, so I thought things might become awkward between the two, but fortunately, that didn’t seem to have happened yet.

Maybe both of them just don’t show it.

“… That said, there won’t be any danger during the search. “It’s hard to believe that there are still many monsters left there.”

Except for certain monsters, monsters do not often live in desolate lands like deserts.

Of course, there are dangerous monsters among the monsters that inhabit the desert, but looking at the distribution of monsters in Deipson, the probability that such monsters exist now is significantly low.

Except for the fact that the search had not been carried out until recently, it could be said to be safe.

“… Well, no matter what happens, I will protect the princess. “Because there are other escorts.”

Well, even if danger arises, I am confident that I can protect at least Yuna. In the first place, the Ceramide Duke family’s knights are not weak.

However, it is questionable why Yuna wants to step forward when there doesn’t seem to be anything she can gain.

“also! Looks like the rumors that have been going around recently are true! The 4th princess, who had been violent, found an extremely handsome escort knight, fell in love, and transformed into a woman… ”

“Everyone, shut up, Haas.”

“Why are you so embarrassed! And from what I can see today, the two of you got along very well. In particular, Beryl’s appearance when she was wearing armor and supporting the struggling princess… Honestly, you two were very close back then, weren’t you? “I thought they were lovers when I saw them from behind?”

“Deuktzurg… ”

“ha ha ha! Beryl is like that too… “

“Who do you think was your lover?”

“… Eek?!”

Haas was talking nonsense as usual. And after that, Yuna was walking from afar, so I tried to silence him, but Haas continued talking without even noticing me.

“Wow, princess… ?”

In the end, Yuna ended up listening to Haas’ loud voice. Yuna came closer to us and looked down at Haas with her characteristic expressionless expression.

I closed my eyes tightly. I did not want to witness the death of my comrade.

“ha… ”

From noble mtl dot com

“Well, that’s not it… ”

“Try to say it again. Who was like a lover? “If you tell a lie, I won’t let you go.”

“Well, what I meant was that the princess leaning against Sir Beryl was like a painting, like a lover. When I looked at it from behind, the height difference made my heart flutter… ”

Haas was speaking honestly and without notice.

I couldn’t bear to look up at Yuna’s face.

“Huh, hmm. That’s it.”

“… ?”

Contrary to the expectation that Yuna would hit Haas’s head at any moment, she held back.

I couldn’t look at her face, so I don’t know what her expression was, but for some reason, I let it go.

Anyway, thank you for watching this. Is it because the other person is the first princess’s escort knight? Anyway, it was a fortunate thing.

“Beryl more than that. We have a place to go, so please follow us. “Why are you lowering your head like that?”

“S-sorry, something fell… “I will take care of you.”

I jumped up from my seat and looked at her, and she was looking at me with an innocent expression.

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be very angry. Haas, I was lucky.

Tub-

“… ? Leah?”

Just as I was about to follow Yuna, feeling fortunate, Lia, who was sitting next to me, grabbed my arm.

“… The break isn’t over yet. “Until now, Beryl has served the princess alone, but I think not giving her enough rest would hinder her ability to carry out her duties, princess.”

“… I beg your pardon?”

“Lee, Lia… ! why are you like this… !”

I wondered if this was crazy and tried to hurriedly pull my arm away, but Lia held my arm tightly and wouldn’t let go.

I thought Haas’s situation had gone well, but this time, Lia was in trouble.

I wonder if they both actually want to kill me. As Yuna’s expression cooled, her legs began to shake.

“Lia… !”

“Ha, so, you’re saying you’re going to refuse the royal family’s orders?”

“No royal family gives orders that ignore the rules. “I understand that the princess has not always guaranteed Beryl’s conditions like that.”

“Lia… ! I’m fine… !”

I appealed to Lia in a low voice, but she did not listen.

Instead, I looked straight at Yuna while still holding my arm. It felt like my heart would explode at any moment.

“under… you… ”

Yuna frowns and approaches one step at a time.

Every time she got closer, it felt like there was a knife in my throat.

‘Why on earth is this happening, Lia, all of a sudden…’ !’

Why is it doing this all of a sudden?

I felt like I was dying of tension because I didn’t know what Yuna would do at any moment.

My heart has never trembled more than this.

“Are you the female knight who shares the same room as Beryl?”

“… “Yes, but.”

Yuuna came and stood in front of Lia. Leah stood up and looked straight at her as if she would not lose.

Since Lia was a little taller, it was natural for her to slightly look down at Yuuna.

However, Yuna did not give in and glared at her with his characteristic cruel eyes.

“you… ”

Yuna’s cold, frosty voice flows out.

He might immediately order me to cut off Lia’s head.

This was my first time seeing Yuna so angry. Honestly, I didn’t even think I could stop it.

There was nothing I could do except tremble and swallow the feeling that I was going to cry at any moment.
