Therefore, when the disaster came suddenly (3)
‘I’m going to leave this servant to François for a moment, is it okay?’
‘··········.’
Her pale pink eyes traced the not-so-distant past.
‘Just this one time, Prince. It bothers me to leave my sick friend alone.’
‘It’s yours, so do whatever you want.’

Obviously, there were conversations like that. Between my dear comrade Marquis and His Majesty the Crown Prince.
-Jingle, jingle, jingle…!
“this.”
‘widely!’ François hastily grabbed the national treasure.
The gleaming white bell grew louder and louder and weeping desperately. The flowing bangs fluttered wildly.
He immediately changed the direction of the bunting, wrapped Tite around him, and opened the window with a clever hand gesture.
‘Kick! Dumpling, cackling!’ The wooden spear, which had been hit by the sea breeze for a long time, opened its mouth with a painful moan.
A cold sea breeze ruffled his brown hair. ‘Whew!’
-Gugugugung…!
“Something is coming.”
From the direction of the coastline toward which His Highness and the party were headed, unidentified vibrations and noises were spreading.
It was still midday, but the sky on the sea side was strangely dark and red.
However, there was no obvious movement.
The students on the playground looked at each other in bewilderment, and teachers occasionally ran from side to side at a brisk pace.
François instinctively tensed his whole body and turned around.
Fortunately, he was sassy.
If I take a day or two more rest, I’ll be in perfect condition, but there’s nothing bad about it right now.
He was one of the few 8th-level wizards in the Empire. A person who is definitely helpful just by being there.
-Jingle, jingling, jingling…!
“I have to leave at once.”
– Ooh
He quickly hid the bell in his arms, then put on a thick robe and put on a hood.
Then he flattened himself to the bottom of the bed.
Lofi, who had her back curled up and hair all over her body, rolled her eyes and lowered her tail.
It was the first time I had seen such a frightened face, so it was a pity.
When I first came to Lister’s military camp, I remembered that it wasn’t like this.
François smiled beautifully and slowly stretched out his hand.
No matter how urgent it is, it shouldn’t surprise you.
“Come with me, Lofi-sama.”
– Whoa!
“it’s okay. Didn’t I come out with Lofi-sama that day as well?”
-·········.
A soft whisper followed.
From the rock castle of Statia, where terrible biological experiments were being conducted, he escaped with Lord Johann Haines in a blood-soaked divine beast.
From that day on, the little cat was completely free.
You could go anywhere, and you might never see a human again.
“Shh.”
He remained there at his own will. Next to people as warm as a juniper brazier.
-······································
“You thought well.”
A divine beast the size of a palm ran up and hung on his sleeve.
François smiled low and immediately got up and grabbed Mace, which he had parked by the bed. ‘fault!’
– Whirlirik!
-Paaah-!
At the same time, intense pale pink mana erupted from the wizard’s body.
Shortly after he disappeared from the dormitory, the rumbling of the ground grew stronger.
*
‘Eve, wake up!’
Startle.
“······shit.”
Did you sleep for a while? Frederic Lister clenched his eyebrows and came to his senses.
Inside the spacious barracks, on the desk of her office, all kinds of papers were piled up today.
The midday winter sun brightly heated the white cloth.
Night soup was simmering in the golden brazier to satisfy hunger.
It didn’t look like a battlefield to anyone looking at it.
“ha······.”
Currently, the Empire and the New Kingdom are in a state of temporary truce to commemorate the week of the birthday of themselves and the Crown Princess.
So it was okay to rest for a while.
He was also well aware of the fact that Aurelie of the emperor knew how to take care of the state affairs.
But Frederic didn’t want to put too much burden on his companion.
I had to check at least once to see how the internal affairs were going.
Although it was said that he was in the family, it was absurd to completely take his eyes off the domestic situation.
He was the emperor of the empire. No matter how tired you were, you had to do what you had to do.
Absolutely perfect. Without any gaps, if possible.
“Hmm. water.”
Frederick gave a short order. But no answer came back.
She frowned and lifted her head as a headache slowly creeped into her.
The holy stones all around were filled with elegant golden ether.
His breath calmed for a moment in the gentleness of light beige.
However, the fact that there was no one to follow the hwangmyeong was an annoying problem.
“Who has none?”
It was still silent. I was trying to get a little annoyed.
Even if it wasn’t, the contractor wasn’t there, so I was nervous.
Frederic once again gave the opportunity to the broad emperor’s generosity.
“Bring water. Drinks will be fine today.”
“Oh, be quiet.”
“What?”
Somewhere in the pile of papers, someone grunted.
The emperor digs through the paper with his itchy hands, wanting to pull out Durandal.
But this is a plan to die…
“Kuhung…….”
“her.”
Finally, the figure of the treason was revealed to the public and discovered by the emperor.
With his familiar size and hair color, Frederic was literally arrogant.
“A rimless change bag.”
“Soo.
“Hey, Lisa. Go to your barracks and sleep.”
‘Tuk, tuk.’ Boots kicked the long leg, but Caroline didn’t budge.
It was a very spectacle to have her short hair laid flat on the desk, and her long hair covered around her eyes as a blanket.
The emperor slowly looked for Durangdal and snorted while holding it. Then yes.
How many people in the world can dare to enter this body’s barracks without greeting, bite all the lower things at will, and take a nap without taking a nap?
He raised his one and only son to be strict, so he couldn’t act like this.
“It’s because the guy named Sword Master sleeps so much. Because of you, Michelle was unable to make a second child while working alone.”
“Great… Whoops…”
“Hey, you weren’t in the mood to last another ten months.”
‘So did I.’ The emperor eventually devoured and put down his scabbard.
It had been a long time since I had woken up a close friend and thought about having a fight, but since I fell asleep for a moment, this one must have been too tired.
Perhaps this was the place where I could close my eyes without being disturbed by anyone.
If she had been in her barracks, her men would probably come and go looking for her every few minutes.
“Take another ten minutes. Just ten minutes.”
The emperor said sternly and went back to his seat. No, that’s what I was trying to do.
“·················ogue.”
However, the document that Caroline was lying on caught my eye.
There were also traces of scrawled crooked quills.
It seems that he was thinking of working while he was falling asleep.
Frederic pulled out a piece of paper and counted the area the Marquis was looking at.
‘Report on the Puppet Master’s Path to Heaven’
It was a document she had already perused and reviewed several times.
The headache I had forgotten for a while came back.
‘·······Tianro is an impregnable land that has never been conquered by foreign armies, and even the first King Yuri Penetian was reluctant to fight here when suppressing the civil war.’
‘The great warlord Empress Romero said, Lilianor Penetian is cunning and devilish, and makes the lives of his soldiers as easy as toys, not a handful of cloth’s dirt wasted. Thus, the road that used to be called ‘Cenro’ was nicknamed ‘The Puppeteer’s Celestial’. As your Majesty your Majesty is well aware, historians agree that the reason the Emperor’s great army retreated to the desert was due to the defeat at the Tenro…
‘His Majesty Valery, who was well versed in geography, left the following analysis. Unification of the continent as long as there is a heavenly path is far away, so together with the Principality of Corleone, expand the sea route and actively nurture the navy.
‘All six cardinals of the New Kingdom have been confirmed to have survived so far. In preparation for the fierce resistance in Heaven, the strategy of the allies must be thoroughly checked….’
“·················ogue.”
‘It is expected that it will be a great war with an unknown direction of victory and defeat….’
‘If we don’t win here, the damage to our allies will exceed several times the accumulated casualties.’
“I was very sleepy.”
huh. Frederick sighed and leaned his back against the desk.
Perhaps even if I looked at this document until it was worn out, or until I memorized the contents, it seemed that I would not be able to let go of it.
The conclusion of the report was also simple and concise.
I wrote various scripts using a lot of ingenuity and tactics, but—
‘The present Imperial Army is stronger than the army of any era, and the loyalty of His Majesty and his motherland is so great that the morale of the soldiers is skyrocketing.’
‘·················· background of this ‘The Great Lister Empire will finally be victorious with the grace of the god and enjoy its glory.’
“Twitter.”
‘The grace of God.’
The emperor pondered it for a moment. In the end, it was also a matter of luck.
This is because none of the previous emperors of the Empire had ever crossed the path of heaven.
She considered the possibility that Shin-guk would miraculously hand over Berner Penetian’s recruits even now.
“·················ogue.”
damn.
The temples were throbbing.
It has been a long time since the leadership of this country has been divided and has not been able to speak in one voice.
“your majesty. This is Elizabeth.”
At that moment, a loud voice rang out from outside the barracks.
Frederic squirmed Caroline away and brought her daughter inside.
“What’s going on?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. At the Yeri Lake… My God, I’m sorry.”
“It has been Your mother is suffering too, so let her rest.”
The young man who walked in was perplexed when he saw his mother lying on the desk.
Frederick waved his hand with a nonchalant expression and tapped the margin.
Elizabeth had just returned from transporting the criminals who were trying to anoint Marguerite Diop as Crown Princess to the Imperial Palace.

On the way home, I stopped by the Yeri Lake and stayed there for a day.
There was also a Lister garrison, so communication between the units was maintained.
“Yes, on the Yeri?”
“Yes. From there came an urgent communication. With Duke Wilhelmina Sneijder’s subordinates who survived the black market, scandals and newspapers about the northern part of the new country continued…”
The complexion of the lieutenant colonel gradually darkened. Frederick immediately sensed an unpleasant aura.
“It is said that our military has actively adopted the interrogation method suggested by King Jesse. The so-called ‘keyword’ dictionary was created by collecting the vocabulary and repeated gestures they mainly use. At first, everyone said that they were skeptical about whether this would really work.”
“There must have been. I’ve never seen him talk nonsense.”
“That’s right. One of them had a light mouth, and after trying to talk for a long time, a story about the ‘salt swamp’ came up.”
“A salt swamp?”
The emperor narrowed his brow at the unexpected word.
He knew very well that Sneijder’s secret room was there.
Could it be that the Salt Swamp has something to do with the northern baron Atsuma?
“According to his statement, Sneijder’s team caught the ‘snake’ there and ‘sold’ it to the ‘undertaker’s mansion’ right after the salt marsh collapsed.”
“·················ogue.”
“So our military diligently combined the words listed in the Keyword Dictionary…”
The commander of the neighborhood guard chose the horse. Gray eyes sank heavily.
“The meaning of ‘moved’ to ‘northern’ was derived from ‘sinmul’.”
