"I didn't expect Your Majesty to know the colonel before." After the aroma of black tea had removed the nervousness of meeting the leader of the country for the first time, Estelle expressed surprise at the exclamation of the queen in front of her. If Colonel Richard knew his father by work, then why did the Queen, as the head of state, know his father?

"He's a friend of my deceased child and a hero who saved the kingdom." Queen Alicia took a sip of black tea and sighed, "If the war ten years ago had not been fought the battlefield without him...... This place, this country, I don't know if it will ever exist......"

"Actually, I don't know much about it......" Estelle said hesitantly, since she learned that her father was active in the Hundred Days War and was even called a national hero, Estelle has been very curious about what happened at that time, "My father never told us about these ......"

"Perhaps, he wants you to hear about it from my mouth?" The queen said, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "You young men...... Would you like to hear a little bit about the story that I, an older man, tell? ”

"Of course!" "Listen up." Estelle and Joshua immediately replied in the affirmative, while Heliga was lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" The queen kindly asked, "Is there something wrong with it?" ”

“…… I know a thing or two about Mr. Cassius's heroic deeds, and that's why I'm uncomfortable......" Heliga shook his head, "Perhaps, I should avoid it next?" ”

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, these things are long gone." The queen was relieved, "In any case, it was done by the people of the previous era, and it has little to do with you, the younger generation. ”

"You're saying that I'm overthinking." Let's re-understand this matter from the perspective of the victim of this matter.

“…… So, where do you start...... Heliga, since you said you knew the cause and effect of this...... So, do you want to start a business with that? Let's start with the causes of war...... Judging by what you know. ”

"Ah...... Good. Nodding his head and taking a deep breath, Helliga considered his words, "The Hundred Days War happened ten years ago...... The trigger for the war was an attack on a village in the southern part of the Erebonian Empire. After that, the empire used this as a justification for waging war. ”

"Excuse me, what's going on?" Estelle, who knew nothing about these things, asked curiously.

"It's just a war with a neighboring country caused by a border conflict in general, right?" Joshua gave Estelle a blank look, "This kind of thing is obviously taught in Sunday school......"

"Uh-huh......" Estelle, who looked unhappy but couldn't attack because of the queen's presence, had to snort softly and turned her face to the side to sulk.

"The whole cause of that incident has not been ascertained...... "There was some regret mixed with pain in the Queen's eyes, "but this was the beginning of a large-scale war against Liber...... Elite mecha divisions and famous generals poured out, except for the royal capital Grancel, which was guarded by the Great Wall, and the land of Liber was occupied in an instant. Moreover, the number of Imperial troops invading Liber was more than three times that of the Liber Kingdom Army. However, with all supplies cut off, it was only a matter of time before the king was captured. It was in this situation that the tide of the battle in which it was passive took place a huge reversal. Using the garrison airship that had only been developed at that time, the Royal Army recaptured the various customs offices one by one, and cut off the communication with the Imperial Army, and then, with Reston Fortress as the first force, the total strength of the Royal Army attacked by water airship and successfully recaptured each area. After the supply lines of the Imperial Army were cut off, the Royal Army broke through the Imperial Divisions and regiments that occupied various places one by one. And the person who made the plan for this counteroffensive is—"

After a deliberate pause, the queen noticed that the three children in front of her were listening attentively to her words, "General Morgan's right-hand man, Colonel Richard's immediate superior, and the father of your two children, Colonel Cassius Bright. ”

"Ah......" exclaimed Estier, who knew nothing about the tactics of war, knowing what an astonishing feat her father had accomplished, "and then ......

"Shortly thereafter, under the arbitration of the Guerrilla Association and the Seven Jewels Church, the 100-day war came to an end." Queen Alicia closed her eyes, and her tone suddenly became full of regret, "But at that time...... Colonel Cassius lost his favorite and most important person...... Ms. Lena Bright...... Also Estelle your mother. ”

"Ah......" Extremely limited, warm memories of her mother suddenly popped up in Estelle's mind.

"When the counteroffensive was about to be won, the desperate Imperial Army Division, in order to retaliate against the Kingdom Army, shelled and damaged the bell tower, which was the symbol of Loriente. You all know the rest of the story...... Colonel Cassius, who didn't even see his wife for the last time...... And the battle plan he made was the reason for his wife's death...... Thinking like this, Cassius fell into deep self-remorse, so he decided to retire from the army and follow the path of a guerrilla, also to protect the only loved one who survived the war, your side......"

"Stupid...... Daddy......" Estelle choked up, her eyes reddening, "Daddy's fault caused Mommy's departure or something...... That's not the case......"

Estelle ...... thoughtfully didn't say much, and Joshua just put his hand lightly on the girl's shoulder.

“…… yes, that's right. Queen Alicia's voice also became low, "Actually, all this tragic long-range throw should be the fault of me, the queen, who did not protect her people well. I'm sorry, Estell. I failed to protect your mother...... It's gratifying to know that even without a mother, you've grown up to be a child worthy of Cassius and my pride......"

"Your Majesty......," said Estelle, movingly, but was interrupted by the Queen again, "But, because of this...... I don't want you to be in any danger again. It's just a matter of dealing with monsters and finding lost items, but this incident is beyond the reach of you, or even me...... Whatever the outcome, I don't want you to be involved in this incident again. ”

The Queen's next words sounded no different to Istelle than a bolt from the blue.
