After the last monster was slain, the human army finally regained control of the Valency Fortress. Bounded by the ruins of the fortress, the Artinian army was stationed in the west, while the fleet of the Imperial Elbania remained in the east.

In the makeshift tent, King Salz sat beside Hetila's former prefect, Sainz, the former general of the Dragon Knights, who had now been promoted to Grand Duke and was Saulz's most important subordinate on the expedition.

"We've already read your report in detail, so is that the battle basically all about the girl named Natalie?" asked Sainz as he knelt in front of the two of them.

"Yes, she was able to successfully recapture the Valency Fortress, and she herself naturally contributed to it, as well as the warrior named Haruka. ”

"Is that the one known as the Black Sword Queen?" King Salz sat up slightly, seeming to be very interested in Haruka.

"Yes, as the leader of the Imperial Army, she broke into the fortress alone, successfully pinned down the main forces of the demons, and also defeated the enemy's general. ”

"Yes, it seems that she is as brave as the rumors. Salz nodded silently.

"Did I hear that she and Princess Iskar were classmates at Hurst Academy?"

"That's right, the two seem to have had a deep friendship before. ”

"No wonder the princess rushed into the enemy line alone and rescued her, it seems that their relationship is indeed not ordinary. Sainz said.

"So what's going on with this girl named Haruka now?"

"The body is fine, but it may have been due to the fact that the battle consumed too much strength, and it has not yet woken up. ”

"Yes, if only she could be used by the kingdom of Artinia ... Sainz said thoughtfully, interrupted by a sudden intruder.

"Report to Your Majesty that an emissary from the Elbanian side has come and asked to meet you. The soldier knelt before the king.

"Did you come here so soon? It seems that the other party is also anxious. Sainz said.

"Hetila, stand down first. The king commanded.

"Yes. . . Hetila saluted the two men, and finally left the tent briskly. On the way back to her tent, she happened to meet the group that had come to summon the King's Empire, with the Grand Prince Jeton at the front, followed by General Elche and Natalie.

Hetila nodded to the group, and then quickened her pace and left, now back in the kingdom, she can't have too much to do with the people of the empire, otherwise it will cause unnecessary criticism.

On the other side, Princess Iska took off her armor, changed into a light outfit and rushed to the tent where Haruka was, because she was from the Empire, so the guards outside the tent were extremely tight. Even the guards were heavily armed, as if they were holding prisoners.

Seeing Princess Iskar's arrival, the soldiers guarding respectfully saluted her, and then blocked her way.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to check on Haruka's situation. Iskar scolded.

"I'm sorry princess, the king has an order, and no one can enter the tent and contact the people of the empire without his permission. ”

"What? I brought her back! Why don't you let me see her! If you don't get out of the way, I'm welcome!"

"I'm sorry, princess, even you, we can't let it go, for His Majesty's orders are absolute. ”

"You guys!!" Iskar stomped his foot in frustration, conjuring up the holy sword in his hand, apparently planning to force his way through.

"Wait a minute!" a voice scolded, only to see a middle-aged man in black armor slowly walk towards Iskar and the guards of the guards.

"It turned out to be Lord Gladstone. When the soldier saw the other man, his tone suddenly became extremely respectful.

"Let her in. Gladstone commanded the soldier.

"Well, since you're the one who said so... The soldiers quickly retreated to the sides, making way for Iska.

"Did your father ask you to come?" Iskar didn't seem to thank him, but asked rhetorically to the man named Gladstone.

"The master didn't give me an order, I was just curious about the girl named Haruka. ”

"Yes, do you dragons be interested in humans too?"

"If it's just an ordinary human, naturally there is no need for me to pay attention, but that person has the breath of our kindred in it. ”

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, Haruka has nothing to do with your dragons!" Iskar said, walking straight into the tent without looking back.

Inside the tent, the huge recovery magic array is arranged in the center, on top of which is the special hospital bed where Haruka is lying, in addition to speeding up the recovery of injuries, it also has a strong recovery effect on physical strength and magic, as a very precious healing magic instrument, generally only people with a very high status in the kingdom are qualified to use it, it seems that for Haruka, the kingdom also attaches great importance to it.

Haruka lay quietly on the bed, as if consciousness had not yet regained. Iska walked to the window and gently touched Haruka's cheek with her hand. The golden magic slowly flowed down her arm towards Haruka's body, and soon covered his whole body, and the dazzling light reflected the entire tent dazzlingly, and Haruka seemed to slowly regain consciousness under Iskara's power......
