“Speaking of which, have you heard anything about Colts, the forr capital of Coltrezis?” (Welner)
“Well…I have heard that Sir Davit, the second son of the rebel Coltrezis House, has been having an amorous relationship with the oracle priestess.” (Lamrz)
“…” (Welner)
A signal of alarm surged up in as I finally comprehended the aning of all this information.
Normally, sothing as ugly as that would be kept secret, even if it was true. But even soone from another city knew about it? No matter how much leakage of information was happening, wasn’t this too much of an information mismanagent?
Keeping a poker face, I said, “It seems that the churches are also disordered in the rebels’ territory.”
“It seems so. There are also many strange requests coming from the church.” (Lamrz)
“Strange requests?” (Welner)
“They are asking for food for the siege…” (Lamrz)
The piece of discomfort I had sotis felt fit neatly into place, and I inwardly clucked my tongue. How could I have overlooked this? I had been careless.
I continued to converse with Lamrz-san for a while. After I bid farewell to him, I imdiately approached Neurath.
“Neurath, I’m sorry, but send a ssenger to His Highness imdiately. As a Stable Master, I have sothing to report to him.” (Welner)
“Yes, sir.” (Neurath)
As a Stable Master, I had “the right to directly address”, so if I wished to et with His Highness, I would be allowed to do so, but I would still need to give a heads-up before doing so.
I imdiately asked for a eting with His Highness, who was probably at the lord’s mansion, while thinking about what I would do and putting together the order of explanations in my mind.
The inn was not that far from the lord’s mansion, but it was most likely a habit of mine to think more clearly while walking. I didn’t notice other people’s eyes on because I was walking while thinking.
“Viscount Zeavert is here.” (Guard)
“Let him through.” (Crown Prince)
After hearing it, the guard outside let in. In addition to the knights guarding the Crown Prince, there was also Commander Filsier of the First Order and Commander Hindelman of the Second Order. They may have been in the middle of so kind of eting.
“Thank you. Is sothing wrong?” (Crown Prince)
“Yes. I think I’ve figured out the enemy’s plan.” (Welner)
“Oh…” (Crown Prince)
Both knight commanders were exchanging glances with expressions as if they wanted to say sothing, but I decided not to care for now.
“Let’s hear your thoughts.” (Crown Prince)
“Perhaps, we will be fighting in the field near Colts.” (Welner)
“Well, do you think they’re going to confront us directly?” (Crown Prince)
“Yes, partly because they don’t have any reinforcents coming from anywhere.” (Welner)
The knight commanders’ expressions were understandable. After all, there was a huge gap in both armies. Kingdom’s army was much bigger than Coltrezis House’s army.
Thus, it would make more sense for Coltrezis’ side to try to avoid direct confrontation as much as possible, or make an attempt on the Crown Prince’s life.
However, their goal was sothing else.
“In terms of troops and commanders, the Coltrezis do not stand a chance. Perhaps the commander is Lord Davit, the second son of Coltrezis.” (Welner)
“Hmm.” (Crown Prince)
The Crown Prince rested his chin on his folded hands and looked at . It was Commander Filsier who then asked.
“Then that’s fine. We’ll just kick the hell out of them and march into the Colts.” (Filsier)
“I think that’s what they want, too.” (Welner)
“What?” (Filsier)
They all looked at with three different expressions on their faces.
With a sigh, I spoke my conclusion, “We overlooked that the mastermind behind this plot is the Demon Army. They probably want to drag the Bain Kingdom army, including the Crown Prince, into the Colts and burn everyone to the ground in one go. Coltrezis House is just the bait to achieve this.”
