Rose! Oh, my god! Do you know what I heard?
Rose narrowed her eyes at the person who ca in. Nate! How could you co in here without even knocking?
At Roses scolding, Nate opened his mouth with a flustered expression. Ah, excuse , ladies. I apologize for my sudden interruption. The combination of his ginger hair and reddened face made his whole head bright red. The tea party mbers giggled at the funny sight.
What made you rush in here like this? Mary Ann asked.
Nate, Roses brother, answered, Oh, I was just here to inform everyone that Lagon has declared war on us.
The shocking words caused a great commotion among the mbers.
Lagon? It couldnt be!
Will we be okay?
Unlike the others who were startled by the news, I sighed as I already knew this would happen from the original novel. Marquis Lennox, who had been expressing his opinion about expanding his army, will go into war and fail. The ones who were going to save the empire from crisis will be the emperor and my father, who will go into war to aid him.
Nevertheless, the next words that ca out of Nates mouth were different from what I rembered. Yes, of course. Marquis Lennox has been successful in defending the southern border since he started preparing two months ago. And in the midst of confusion, the crown prince beheaded Lagons commander.
What? The crown prince?I beca confused by this strange turn of events that differed from the original novel.
Nate, who had no clue what was going through my head, continued. In a month, the palace will be holding a victory banquet. He glanced around at all of us after sharing this surprising news, then announced, It will be a banquet that all nobles will be obliged to attend.
I frowned at his words.Ugh, I didnt know the crown prince was going to play an active part in the war like this. And an unexpected banquet at thatThe ominous premonition I had seed to be due to this. I gulped down the remainder of my black tea that had gone cold during this disturbance.Its so bitter.
Unlike , the others were making a great fuss.
Tell us the details of what happened. Veronica stated with shining eyes.
Nate nodded with a blush. Yes, of course. He ended up taking a seat at the table. Do you know how Marquis Lennox has been speaking up about expanding his army? he began.
Yes, Ive heard of this.
And you know that his opinion was ignored, right?
Of course.
Because of that, he was secretly expanding his army, but it only amounted to about 60,000 n. At that ti, the crown prince had noticed unusual movents from Lagon and sent reinforcents to aid him.
Unusual movents?
It is said that they were strangely storing large amounts of grain, as well as drying any food that could be stored for an extensive amount of ti. The crown prince found out about this and instantly knew they were provisions.
The ladies who were listening intently to Nate began to murmur among themselves.
Oh, my goodness. I didnt know he held such wisdom. He sounds like a completely different person now!
I agree with you.
Listening to their whispers, Nates voice went up a pitch as if he were excited. Marquis Lennox had originally requested 20,000 n. But the crown prince generously sent 50,000 n instead, which was about half of the n in the northern garrison, saying that any less would beco a useless sacrifice at best.
Oh, wow!
At their small exclamations, Nate continued in a high-pitched voice. He also ordered the soldiers to not attack the weak who couldnt fight, which is boosting his public opinion in Lagon as well.
Why would the crown prince be so generous? I tried to guess what his motives could have possibly been, but beca lazy and gave up.No matter what he does, he has the essence of a sadist, a terrible man who sheds no blood nor tears.
Despite that, it seed that the other mbers held different opinions. Wow, during a ti where even the knights dont adhere to chivalry. How amazing!
