On the evening of October 19, the Imperial General and Commander-in-Chief of the Battle of the Tefalo Steppe, Marquis Nepdo Quint, returned to Kwyn with the last wave of soldiers withdrawn from the front, and the old general who returned to Kwyn met with the Prime Minister, Duke Nick, for the first time, and then the two met with 'His Majesty the Emperor' and discussed in the Emperor's meeting room for two hours.

Half an hour after the Marquis Nepdo walked out of the Emperor's drawing-room, at two o'clock in the morning of the next day, Count Devin, the commander of the First Imperial Legion, received an order in the name of the Emperor: to enter the town of Hades.

The letter of order demanded that Earl Devon's troops move out overnight.

After dawn, just as the Empire was officially entering a state of all-out war, the elven High Councillor Liane Keblair complied with Duke Nick's request and secretly sent the progress of the work on 'mediating the war with the orcs'.

The Orc Command unexpectedly agreed to negotiate an armistice with the Empire a month later, on the 27th of the following month... This is indeed unexpected news, no matter what the orcs want to do, but if they can temporarily stop the war and cease, it will be a good thing for the current empire, because the transfer of power requires a relatively stable external environment.

Despite this, Duke Nick did not give up on the defense of the orcs, and while he sent emissaries to Karen to lead an official showdown with Trofil, he also placed nearly six legions on the defense line northwest and northeast of Kwyn Town to prevent accidents... At the same time, he told the elven mediator, Liane Keblair, not to divulge the armistice negotiations between the Empire and the Orcs, otherwise the Empire would immediately and unilaterally terminate the negotiations.

At this moment in the imperial capital, the news of the unexpected death of the emperor has spread all over the streets, and now, even the lowest civilians are secretly discussing this matter... This time, Duke Eric did not make a positive defense to the nobles' questioning, but he did not admit it, and he avoided the question.

However, the nobles did not want to avoid this problem, so Lion Castle became a meeting place for the nobles every day... A large number of nobles gathered in the hall of the Lion Castle, demanding that the emperor return to the imperial capital in time to dispel rumors and restore order in the imperial capital.

The nobles' request was rejected by Duke Eric, citing the tension of the war in Kwyn, and Prince Sinda became a mediator in the conflict, speaking to the nobles as the owner of the Lion Castle.

Soon, Prince Sinda's performance won the approval of the nobles, and during these days, he became the object of conversation among the nobles... After all, if Emperor Laubert really died unexpectedly, wouldn't this one in front of him be the next emperor?

As the eyes of the Imperial nobles shifted to Prince Sinda, the chaos brought by the news of the Emperor's death seemed to have stabilized slightly, but the undercurrents continued, so Duke Eric, in the name of the Imperial Cabinet, ordered that banquets and gatherings of more than five nobles were forbidden during the period of total war in the Empire.

Of course, this order was strongly resisted by the nobles, but when they were confronted with the advance of the city defense battalion, most of the nobles eventually chose to acquiesce.

...

The time quietly came to October 20th, and today, the entire empire will officially enter a state of all-out war, and everything in the empire will serve this war with the orcs.

From today, until the end of this war, the power of the Imperial Cabinet and the Imperial Family will be maximized.

It seems that everything is going on steadily...

On October 21st, Kru received the castle of Kavar, where today a grand banquet was held, and the order of the Cabinet prohibiting the banquet had no effect on the local nobility.

As the agent of Kavalburg, Pedi had teleported back to the castle three days ago through the Fixed-Point Magic.

It was the Duchess of Saviara who called him back, and the Duchess's letter was a serious topic, coupled with the letter from his father urging him to send troops to Twak, so he chose to use the costly method of magical teleportation to return to Kavalburg as quickly as possible.

But there was no urgent matter for Pedi to attend to in Kavalburg, and the Duchess called him back just to get him to a banquet.

A banquet that Pedi could not refuse, because it was for him.

For this banquet, the Duchess prepared for nearly ten days.

And today, three days later, at this moment, the scene of the banquet.

Pedi meets the fiancée his father has found for him... Erin Field, the princess of Terric's Mage Tower, now the princess of Eternal Wings, is a nimble girl.

She was wearing a pure white aristocratic dress made of velvet today, her black hair was coiled together, her towering neckline was embroidered with the golden halo shining with the golden dragon representing the wings of eternity, and her eyes as blue as the sky were even bright, but at the moment there was a kind of confusion about the future.

Turlock, the chairman of the board of directors of Eternal Wings and Erin Phier's father, was personally present at the banquet, which was the most fundamental reason why Pedi rushed back to Fort Kavar.

Surrounded by the nobles of Crewe and the magic professors of Eternal Wing, Pedi and Erin Phil looked at each other seriously... Beside him, Turlock looked at Pedy, and Duchess Saviara looked at Erin Field.

Irene Phil is not the kind of girl who is particularly beautiful, she has a kind of feminine softness, but there is a stubborn strength in her eyes, but this strength has an instinctive agility and liveliness... This is a typical well-educated lady from an aristocratic family, of course, who is also trained in magic.

"Baron Pety, your name can be seen every day in the documents reported by my assistant lately. Turlock spoke first: "Now, at last, I have seen you, a nice young man, I feel great power from you, and I also find wisdom in your gaze. ”

"It is an honour to receive your appreciation, Lord Tlock, I have heard of your deeds since I was very young. Pedy's gaze shifted from Erin Phil to Turlock, and he bowed slightly and said, "Even my Paladin Mentor uses your deeds to teach me. ”

"He's sure you're going to make me your imaginary enemy. Turlock laughed like a general, then took two quick steps with Pedi in a daze, gave him a hug, and then held Pedy's cheek like an elder, and he said to the laughter of the crowd, "From now on, you will shoulder your family like a man." ”

"I swear, I will. Pedi stared into Turlock's eyes.

When Tlock heard Pedy's words, he immediately grinned, and the wrinkles on his face piled together as he withdrew his hands holding Pedy's cheeks, at this time, the surrounding nobles laughed more presumptuously, while the magicians were much more reserved.

Pedi's face is flushed at the moment, maybe he was covered by Turlock's hands, or maybe he was really a little shy... His performance made the surrounding nobles even more presumptuous.

"You should be proactive. Duchess Saviara whispered in Pedi's ear.

Mother's words made Pei Di stunned, and the laughter of the nobles in his ears came and went... To be honest, Pedi doesn't have any experience with this kind of thing, so he's still a little stage frightened...

However, even if he has stage fright, Pedi will not back down from what should be done in this situation,

So, in the midst of the coaxing of the nobles, Pedi took two slow steps towards Erin Field, and when the two were close, Pedi stared into each other's eyes and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Erin Field." ”

Although Irene Fil had a very unnatural shy smile on her face, she seemed very open-minded, and she generously took Pedy's arm and said, "I hope that tonight's banquet will leave me with a good meeting." ”

"I will do my best to accommodate your request. Pedi said promisedly.

Erin Fil smiled instinctively, "I'm looking forward to it." ”
