245 Journey(1)
The soldiers of the Russian kingdom had lost food and weapons, and it seemed that they could no longer resist the Union Army of Easterfield.
Now, if you launch an all-out offensive, you will be able to push Russia away.
Easterfield’s federal forces decided to give them one last chance.
-We are Easterfield Federation Forces! Propose the surrender of the Russian Royal Army! If you don’t, we’ll treat you as reactionaries and launch carpet bombing!
“… … Shit!”
The garden of the temporary royal palace where the broadcast can be clearly heard.
Natalia knew that the crown over her head was no longer useful.

Military advisors recommended her surrender.
“Your Majesty, how about surrendering from the line of maintaining your wealth even now and choosing a rich life?”
“… … You said that you can link the bloodline of the empire. But are you going to run away now?!”
“It is not an escape. I’m just letting you know that in reality we only have this much of a choice.”
The Easterfield Federation will never be friendly to Russia.
However, it is a different story if they surrender and join the Federation and return to full democracy.
However, Natalia had no intention of surrendering until her death.
“… … I do not surrender. Those who will surrender, get out of the castle quickly. I will not take it.”
“Are you serious? How long would you last if you survived here in this temporary castle? There are only a few trained soldiers, and the mercenary corps has already disappeared.”
As the Kasimov mercenaries left with the citizens, the mercenaries gathered from all over Europe did not leave with them.
Now, there are thousands of troops left, and I wondered what could be done with such an army.
Still, it was practically impossible to maintain their army.
It was a fact that Natalia under the world would collapse now.
Then a special offer came to her.
“Your Majesty, then, how about acknowledging us as a nation from the Wanderers and strengthening your kingship?”
“… … Will you accept our offer because they are crazy?”
“It would be better for Easterfield to establish a government that inherits the legitimacy of the royal family, but they wouldn’t want to head on the ground at all.”
It was the last ray of hope for Natalia.
Even if she bowed her head, she decided to bow in her favor.
“good night. Send them a letter with our offer.”
***
A few days later, a letter arrived at Easterfield’s headquarters.
Commander Eric Hudson turned to Ivanov for advice.
“General, maybe?”
“Hmm, it’s true that we won the war, but we want you to acknowledge the legitimacy of the royal family.”
“Are you okay though?”
Ivanov shook his head.
“No, of course it won’t be okay.”
“But if we cut off the royal lineage altogether, won’t the center of our nation be lost?”
“It would be good to inform His Majesty about this first. But I think your Majesty will probably not accept them to retain their kingship.”
“Hmm, shall we make a decision after making the phone call first?”
“I do.”
According to the opinion of Ivanov, three horsemen older than Eric Hudson, the news was sent to Easterfield Palace.
A reply like this arrived from the royal palace.
– There is no mercy for terrorists.
Lee Hwan showed a very determined appearance.
If his will was so strong, the possibility of the establishment of the Natalia dynasty seemed almost impossible.
Eric Hudson decided to broadcast directly to the broadcaster that negotiations had broken down.
-Ah, we are Easterfield Federation Forces! We have decided not to recognize your dynasty by the will of Easterfield I! The country will be rebuilt by us Easterfield, and the Russian Empire will be divided and ruled as the Soviet Union!
When the commander of the expeditionary force directly broadcasted the broadcast, the enemy immediately received a call.
Their contact was none other than bombardment.
Shoo… … !
“General! Cannonballs are flying from the enemy camp!”
“Are you going to go all the way to the end?!”
Eric Hudson could now fully agree with Ivanov and Yi Hwan’s views.
They were the ones who struggled to somehow save their vested interests whenever they had a chance.
Finally he ordered the bombing.
“Destroy the city. Prepare the combat wing.”
“But, General, there is an enormous amount of treasure in the enemy camp. How about that?”
“The treasure will be underground and we only have to retrieve it later as we clear the war. Besiege all sides and tell the special forces to cut off even the underground waterway.”
“Yes, General!”

Massive bombing of Russia’s last bastion.
Aww!
The wall collapsed in the first place, and the shape could not be found, and nothing remained above the shelter.
After the bombing, tank units appeared to trample the last Russian territory.
Seeing this, the Russian soldiers raised their white flags one by one and began to surrender.
“… … Surrender!”
“Soldiers who wish to surrender, drop their weapons and surrender! However, since there is still a process for ideological verification, we will have to stay captive for a while!”
People’s lives are at stake, but how often are they arrested, and what is the big problem?
Russian soldiers declared their intention to come out of the army by being captured, as the Easterfield Federation Forces did.

Meanwhile, the Expeditionary Force Headquarters advanced towards the Provisional Royal Palace on the last Russian bastion.
Eric Hudson entered the palace.
shudder.
Then he heard the sound of a gun being fired right in front of him.
“You can save your life if you surrender.”
“… … Are you asking me to endure such disgrace now?”
“Even if the country is destroyed, the monarch will not be killed. Wouldn’t it be better to spend the rest of your life comfortably than to risk your life right now?”
Eric Hudson’s question was not heard at all.
Then she heard the sniper’s warning sound.
-There are twenty crosshairs aiming at the head. If you don’t give up your weapon and surrender, I’ll kill you immediately.
“… … kill? If you do, your captain will die!”
– Before that, the finger will fly first.
“What… … ?”
That was then.
Bloody!
A bullet flew into her finger, which was on the trigger.
Pu ha ha ha!
Her blood is spreading everywhere.
Her fingers, splattered with blood, tumbled across the floor.
She endured the pain by biting her teeth.
“… … Whoa! I will not die like this!”
Once again, she picks up a gun from the floor and points it.
But the snipers blew up even her left hand.
Bloody!
“Shut up!”
The blood vessels in his eyes seemed to burst and tears of blood were about to pour out.
I wondered why people could be so poisonous, to the point of sticking out my tongue.
Eric Hudson once again urged Natalia to surrender.
“It’s all over now. Your fingers can recover as long as they are treated, so let’s get out of here and live in peace.”
“Oh my gosh! Are you going to be my husband? Easterfield men only call me a woman when they like it! Isn’t that the case with the little boy called your king!”
Her voice overshadowed by evil made even the snipers tremble.
Erik Hudson couldn’t help but feel sorry for her behavior, as if it was going to fall on New Wall.
“… … Even if it had paid off anyway, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy life as a woman who was fully loved.”
“Shit! You want to live as a woman, is that so difficult? Like the rotten Easterfield I!”

Maybe she did something like this out of hatred for Lee Hwan.
Perhaps he felt irritated by the fact that he even had children with his neighbors while blatantly rejecting his proposal.
Eric Hudson agreed to respect her will.
“Okay. I won’t force you anymore. What would you like to do?”
Eventually, she collapsed on the spot.
Natalia begins to sob.
“… … I don’t know. I also don’t know what to do now. I want to go back home. Mom, I miss you!”
“That’s right. Let’s go back home. Let’s go back to St. Petersburg and start over.”
In the end, she decided to follow Eric Hudson’s advice.
With this, the last spark of the Russian Empire was extinguished.

Meanwhile, when Lee Gak heard the news, he fell into trouble.
“If we do not deal with Princess Natalia properly, the public sentiment in Russia may be shaken.”
“If not, what would you like to do?”
Lee Hwan, the former king of Yi Gak and the two descendants of his descendants, asked.
Then, Lee Gak gave him an unexpected answer.
“Hwan-ah.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Do you have no intention of coming back?”
“… … Yes?”
“If you want to win the hearts of the Russian people, you have to sacrifice at least one person. But that doesn’t mean I can’t let you go who’ve already worn a topcoat.”
“Huh! Will you allow it?”
“… … You should hit it first.”
He visited Natalia, who was admitted to the East Stella Research Hospital in St. Petersburg.
Currently, she amputated and sutured two of her missing fingers, and was being treated with psychiatric medication.
Natalia, who heard the news of Lee Gak’s visit, came to the meeting room.
“… … What is the king of the Soviet Union doing here?”
“Is your body okay?”
“as you see.”
Depression and anxiety disorders improved because he was taking drugs, but he had no choice but to still have aggression.
Then Lee Gak asked her.
“If it’s okay, would you like to go somewhere with me?”
“… … Leaving the hospital?”
“exactly. I am leaving here in St. Petersburg and going to the quiet countryside of Northern Europe.”
“What will be different if you go there?”
“I can start a new life.”
“… … new life?”
“I will take care of you. As a man, I am not humble, but at least as a member of the royal family, I will do my best to keep my promise to you.”
Natalia had already passed the age of infidelity, and Lee Gak had passed her 60th birthday.
Perhaps, as her marriage to Lee Hwan continued to be delayed, she too may have felt skeptical about her life as a woman.
Lee Gak made this suggestion because he understood her feelings a little.
She bowed her head.
“… … Garbage disposal, what is it?”
“Whatever you think, I don’t care. If I bring back the abdicated king, Yi Hwan, I can no longer be tied to the court. If you want, I want to share the dream of your hometown that you have already planned.”
“Your cousin? Are you saying that the royal family will make a living by farming or building?”
“If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it. I have no choice but to go alone.”
It was a really random suggestion, but she smiled.
“I think there’s a pretty big age gap between me and you.”
“Well, it is. But unless you have children… … .”
“If it happens, you have to give birth.”
“… … Do you have any plans to make one?”
“Why aren’t you confident?”
This angle is also a man
He stopped laughing at her cute provocation.
“Hey, what if you want that?”
“… … I think that if I have a child, I will be able to live a proper life. I want my child to live comfortably and comfortably without being polluted by politics.”
“That’s right. I think so too.”
