Chapter 1

"What should I do?"

The princess Elijie stood on the empty bridge of the celestial battleship "Celestial Noble", her eyes filled with the blue ocean. The excitement of the confrontation against Andersen has long been gone, and the hurried figures of the soldiers that were once everywhere are nowhere to be found, leaving only endless emptiness.

Elegy: "What should I do?" Is it really necessary to incinerate the lawless with the flames of revenge, as they say? Or do you want to watch His Excellency the General suffer an injustice? Or do you want to follow the example of the Imperial Empress and leave the country for the Demon Realm? But I can't do any of that, how can I deal with it? ”

Une Leonill: "......"

Even as the adjutant of the Great General, Colonel Une has always been taciturn. Since he came here, he has fainted several times, and the people around him are very worried about his body. Looking at the pale face of Une, Elegyt was worried and grateful, with Unn by her side, she felt like the general was still there, and he could give her the most solid support.

But Jackett is now imprisoned in distant Ghent, and the old general has no claim to power and materiality, and his greatest wish is to be disarmed and returned to the field as soon as possible...... I didn't expect to end up in such a situation now, and my merit and reputation have been tarnished.

Alijie: "Why? ”

Unn Leo'Neill: "I'm sorry, is Your Highness asking your subordinates?" ”

Elijay: "If you have an answer, please say it." ”

With permission, Unn knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground. He had not fully recovered before he had left the hospital bed, so the cold ground made him feel uncomfortable, but he didn't care in the slightest.

Un Leonill: "The nobles who have abandoned their obligations and fled the war in order to save their lives are not in a position to make a big statement. They were able to be justified because His Highness did not ask them about their sins. Like the criminals who escaped justice, these nobles considered themselves innocent. And after His Royal Highness 'forgiven' the nobles, the people complained because of this, which is also the fuse of the current situation. ”

Desperate for comfort, Elijie bit her lip. Although she said that she was willing to accept any criticism, she was still a little embarrassed when she was pointed out to her face.

Jack had said something similar to her before, suggesting that she arrest the nobles who had escaped, but Elle believed that she had been kidnapped by Kallett and that she was also a sinner according to Jackett's logic, so she firmly opposed the punishment of the nobles who escaped. Elegy was already very remorseful, but now that she heard the same argument, her eyes couldn't help but fill with tears, and her tone became very stiff.

Elijie: "The nobles occupy the wealth of the country, and our soldiers are exhausted, and I am not fully sure of subduing them. I have been captured by the enemy, and I have caused trouble to the country, so I can only be tolerant of others and give them a chance to reflect. ”

Unn Leonier: "But Naviro Jurgen is different, he is ambitious, and he has been exploiting the weaknesses exposed by His Highness. Your Highness, why did he give up his safety to stay in Ghent? Why volunteered to host an exploration on Kronos Island? People who are truly at the center of power will not leave their positions casually. He did this because he wanted to be different. He hoped that in the eyes of the people, he was different from Her Royal Highness and other nobles. In doing so, although he will make those nobles who feel threatened by him attack him first, as long as he survives the current crisis, he will naturally gain a large number of popular hearts. At that time, His Highness will have even less room for manoeuvre. ”

Alijie: "This incident was initiated by the nobles to satisfy their greed, do you think they can't force Navero Jurgen?" ”

Uen Leonill: "In the absence of His Highness, the people remember clearly who remained in Root to resist the enemy. Regardless of whether this time was successful or not, the nobles who fled at that time would not have gained popular support. ”

Ali Jie: "According to what you say, the people must also remember that General Hawkeye once fought for the Heavenly Realm, so why don't they refuse to recognize the general's merits?" ”

Uen Leo'Neill: "I'm also from an inaccessible background, so it's not convenient for me to answer this question. ”

Alijie didn't continue to ask, in fact, she knew the answer to this question. The people and nobles of the imperial capital were wary of Jack, and she exacerbated this conflict with her own hands. Many in the Celestial Realm have a deep-seated prejudice against lawlessness, and she is obedient to Jack, which makes them feel threatened. Un's identity is really not suitable to point out this issue, so he can only choose to avoid it.

Alijie: "So how do I stop others from labeling the general with an unwarranted stigma?" It took me a lot of time to stop them from spreading rumors. ”

Unn Leo'Neill: "Your Highness might as well hold the Commander accountable directly. Our enemies claim to have captured two of the handles of His Excellency the Commander. One is that His Excellency the Commander was not stationed in Ghent, which put His Highness in danger; The other is that His Excellency the Commander is too stubborn about Andersen. But as we all know, stopping Andersen was the only option at the time, and in the end it was won. Therefore, even if there are some flaws in the command, it cannot constitute a capital crime. If His Highness could forgive the Commander for his wrongs when he held His Excellency Accountable. At the same time, it was emphasized that His Excellency Commander's decision to crusade against Andersen was of great help in stopping Luke later. Let the commander be able to make up for his mistakes with merit, so that after this matter is determined by His Highness, it will no longer be hyped up. However, His Highness only emphasized the merits of His Excellency the Commander, and did not cover up some of his mistakes. Such a course of treatment will inevitably bring enemies to His Excellency the Commander, and the trial will proceed according to their wishes. ”

Unn coughed incessantly, but answered questions and was insightful. At first, Elijah had some doubts about young Un, but now she has completely changed her opinion. It seems that Unn was able to get the brigadier general nomination in his twenties, and it was not entirely because of military merit. However, Elijie does not agree with Un's proposed solution, because it needs to temporarily tarnish the hero's reputation.

Elijie: "We are not Kallet, and honor must not be tarnished in any way!" Aren't soldiers sacrificing their lives and forgetting their deaths fighting for the country and honor? To dispel ridiculous rumors and slander the general...... Although it will have an effect, I am categorically against insulting the general. ”

Although Ai Lijie's tone was softer than just now, there was still unconcealable disapproval in her voice. If Jurgen had been here, he would have said that Elejie was suffering from 'moral cleanliness'.

Ai Lijie: "But I understand why the general values you, I listened to other people's suggestions before, and planned to send you as an envoy, I really regret that I didn't talk to you in the first place." Colonel, Jurgen seeks to use the power of the Empire to control the Celestial Realm. If he becomes the leader of the Celestial Realm, the Celestial Realm owes the Empire a favor. Then when negotiating with the Empire, the Celestial Realm will not be able to obtain an equal status. We have to stop Jurgen, we need to return to Ghent, do you have any plans for this? ”

Unn Leonier: "Please call in reinforcements from Your Highness, and then leave the command of the battle to someone else, I am not capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility." ”

Elijie: "Do you mean Mospis and Eton?" They have not yet acted, and even if I summon them, will they do so? ”

Elejie clenched the corners of her skirt, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes. The grievances and sorrows that have been felt for a long time can no longer be suppressed. If someone had said something comforting, she might have wept at once. Thankfully, Un kept her head down, and Elle managed to hide her weakness.

Alijie: "...... No more time can be wasted, now it is not only Jurgen's problem, the nobles are also likely to execute the general. I can't let down the adventurers who have always believed and helped us and others who have been waiting for me to go back in Ghent! Action must be taken as soon as possible. ”

Unn Leo'Neill: "I don't have this ability, if Your Highness orders me to assassinate Navero Jurgen, I will complete the mission even if I risk my life." ”

Elijie: "I can't lose you anymore, and I won't allow you to assassinate, we're different from them." Even though the road is full of thorns, we must be worthy of our hearts when we stand in front of people who have been tormented by war. Besides, Jurgen will eventually be judged by the law, so why let you shed blood? We will definitely find a way, even if we can't find it for a while, as long as we put our minds to it, we will definitely find it. ”

Elijie's attitude was unusually decisive, and Unn knelt on the ground and looked up at the princess for a moment, then hung her head weakly.

Alijie: "I'm sorry to put you under so much pressure. But if even we are involved in bloody politics, how can we still gain the trust of the people and become their dependence? I have a plan that I have been thinking about for a long time. In the past, it could not be implemented because of the obstruction of the aristocracy. As long as the crisis is overcome, the plan has a good chance of success. In this way, we will be one step closer to the Heavenly Realm that the Great General and I yearn for. When the time comes, the nobles will lose their energy and will no longer be as arrogant as they are now. The general has always treated you like his own son, and I hope you can work hard with us. ”

Un Leo'Neill: "...... Yes, sir. ”

After Unn reluctantly agreed, Elijie said thank you and left the bridge. A gust of sea breeze from nowhere made her squint her eyes and shrink her shoulders, but she immediately puffed up her chest and opened her eyes again. The princess who had trembled and wept with her shoulders before was gone, and Ellijie's heart was once again filled with a firm will that Callert could not break.

Elijah: ("...... Although I was cornered, I was still alive. As long as I live, I will do things for the country and the people. Take 10,000 steps back, even for the sake of the great generals and adventurers who trust me, I must not give up ......")

Elekje's eyes were no longer fixed on the cold sea. But Un's situation is very different, with self-blame and fear of failure tormenting him. He was sure that if it wasn't himself but Jack who showed up here, it wouldn't be so bad. Unn was left alone on the bridge, and even though his body was frozen, he seemed to forget the cold of the floor. He remained on his knees until his men came looking for him.

Chapter 2.

Navero Jurgen walked into the Ghent Palace, an ancient palace with ruins everywhere, and in some places even traces of being scorched by fire. Navero Jurgen barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked his daughter Marianne Jurgen to meet her in the royal daughter's study.

In front of the princess's study, Naviro Jurgen left his retinue outside and entered the study alone. But after a long time, Marianne and the captain of the Coast Guard, Hailan, were seen coming in, and Naviro Jurgen's lungs were about to explode.

Navelo Jurgen: Why are you so stupid! How could you do such an unfilial thing to your father!

Marianne Jurgen: ...... Father, how did you come so early?

Navelo Jurgen: Do you have this only one word for me?

Marianne Jurgen: I don't know why my father was so angry with me? I captured Hawkeye Jack alive for my father and drove away the princess, why are you still angry?

If you are angry to the extreme, you are usually speechless, and this is the case with Navero right now. He has always been known for his eloquence, but in front of his bombastic daughter, his throat seems to be blocked, and he can't say a word.

Hailan listened to the conversation between their father and daughter behind Ma Lian, and smiled slightly at this time.

Helan Clough: The fire hurts you, and Lord Jurgen dissipates his breath. Your daughter has perfectly fulfilled the duties of a commander, and he has proven that he is no longer a fledgling hiding under the wings of his parents, and you should be relieved, right?

Navelo Jurgen: Captain Hailan, what the hell are you trying to do? Why did you instigate my daughter to stir up trouble! What's the difference between you and Callert when you do something like this?

Helan Clough: You're wrong, we're certainly not the same as Caller. Your Excellency once said that we must seize a God-given opportunity, and we at the Coast Guard have been waiting for such a good opportunity.

Hailan replied softly, but her brow furrowed, and Jurgen didn't bother to observe his expression

Navelo Jurgen: The time is not ripe yet! You let the people see that the helpless princess has been driven away! And it was not Callert who drove away the princess, it was the empire and the nobility!

Navelo Jurgen: Compassion is a terrible shield, do you know how an incompetent princess can still have the support of the people? By no means because of the so-called loyalty! It's because the people are a group of people who are easy to be touched! It is by virtue of their compassion that the royal daughters have come to where they are today.

Navelo Jurgen: The princess didn't do anything, but she didn't do anything wrong, they all knew that. They see the princess who has been carrying a heavy responsibility at a young age as their lost child, so they will see us as another Caller!

Jurgen's voice grew louder and louder, but instead of panicking, Marianne looked at her father coldly.

Marianne Jurgen: What exactly do you want to say? This incident has nothing to do with you, father, so why do you say "we"?

Navelo Jurgen: You, what do you say...... What do you mean!

Marianne Jurgen: Where were you when the princess escaped and Hawkeye was captured? On the island of Kronos! The masterminds of this incident were me and His Excellency Berta and the Coast Guard. It has nothing to do with your father, and my daughter really doesn't understand why her father is angry with me?

The enraged Navelo looked at Marianne with strange eyes, as if he were looking at a stranger. He suddenly realized that the obedient daughter who had been very obedient since she was a child was no longer the same.

In the face of him, although he was still uneasy, his deliberately raised chin was full of momentum. It's not that she doesn't disrespect her father, he doesn't want to hear others laugh at her anymore, so she just hides behind her father.

Marianne Jurgen: Thanks to your father's preparations, my plan went very smoothly. For this, my daughter will specifically thank you, but I don't want to hide under my father's shelter for the rest of my life.

Navelo Jurgen: ...... The career I planned will be left to you sooner or later, why can't you be patient and wait, do you have to do this to my big thing?

Marianne Jurgen: In the eyes of men, my decision may have been a little impatient. But from a woman's point of view, the time is ripe. Hawkeye will pay for the disruption of the state, and the princess will kneel beside him.

Hearing her daughter's undisguised words, Navero, who was immersed in disappointment, raised her eyebrows.

Navelo Jurgen: That's why I'm trying to postpone your entry into the House of Lords. You want to judge the princess? Remember what I just said? The princess is not guilty! Even if we wear out our mouths, the people only think that the princess is incompetent, but she is absolutely innocent.

Navelo Jurgen: Although it can be said in principle that the incompetence of the monarch is a sin. But you, me, and all of us know that the princess ascended the throne at a young age, and it took some time for her to grow. Why did I risk attacking Hawkeye? Why spread the theory that the army is useless? Because that's the best way to go!

Navelo Jurgen: The Eagle Eye is the wings and shield of the princess, just like the first to break off the wings when catching a bird, attacking the Eagle Eye is currently feasible and necessary. I'm going to take him out of power, and then coerce the isolated princess to hand over the throne with her own hands!"

Navero Jurgen: In that case, the princess will be exiled to a small temple in the middle of nowhere, and she will become the laughing stock of people for the rest of her life! Now, thanks to you, the princess has once again become a poor little princess!

Marianne Jurgen: So you mean that the princess can't be killed? Aren't you afraid of endless troubles?

Seeing Marianne excitedly retort to herself, Navero's eyes gradually became cold.

Navelo Jurgen: You can look for trouble in Andersen, because Andersen can defeat armies and destroy the Energy Center. And what does the princess have? She had only the sympathy of the people, if at that time Hawkeye was against the pursuit......

Navelo Jurgen, who was angry, suddenly realized that there was Hailan next to him, and he barely closed his mouth.

Helan Clough, the man was the captain of the Coast Guard and a disciple of Herman. Despite his easy-going appearance, Navelo is well aware of his inconsistencies.

He had to put this man by his side and make this man the sharpest weapon he could wield. But he must not be trusted, because believing in the power of the bomb and believing that he is safe in the explosion are two different things.

Navero exhaled deeply, and despite the mixed feelings and thoughts that were already surging in his mind, a poker face honed by years of political career perfectly concealed his mood swings.

He quickly turned his brain behind his poker face, and then chose the voice that could effectively convince his daughter, that is, the tired voice.

Navelo Jurgen: Phew...... Now, go open the granary and calm the emotions of the people. And go and tell Zedin Schneider and Marlene Kirschka that you don't want to hurt the princess either. Remember, you must not hurt either of them, or I won't be able to help you.

As Navero had expected, Marianne's tired voice was more unsettling than her father's scolding.

Because of the adventurers' involvement, they did not win a complete victory in this incident, and Marianne was always uneasy. Now hearing his father's words, he didn't bother to say goodbye to his father and hurriedly left the study.

Helan Clough: She's very energetic, and with a little more experience, she will definitely become a good soldier.

Navero shook his head, unable to help but curse in his heart.

'We need the military, but we don't need the military. Soldiers are trained to be violent machines, essentially no different from Kahlert. But in the event of an emergency, weapons can be issued to civilians. This was the excuse that Navelo used when he was disarming, so Hailan's compliment, he knew that he was actually mocking himself.

Navero Jurgen: What did you think about instigating my daughter and the impatient nobles to cause this chaos?

Helan Clough: Didn't I tell you, I hate Hawkeye! When dealing with Andersen, he pretended to trust me for the sake of the overall situation, but in fact his mind was full of thinking about how to away.

Helan Clough: Whether you're a soldier or a politician, it's better to strike first than to be passive, isn't it? I don't know my reason, do you believe it?

Navelo Jurgen: If you are patient, I will give you a chance.

Helan Clough: Forget it, if you follow your plan, the Coast Guard and I will definitely be the tools you throw away when you run out. Why should I do something that suffers?

Navelo Jurgen: ......

Helan Clough: Anyway, since the current conclusion is that the princess cannot be driven away for the time being, and the adventurers, who are regarded as heroes by the entire celestial realm, have also chosen to help the princess. Then the nobles and common people involved in this matter will definitely be confused and overwhelmed by this.

Helan Clough: And the only way to put this to rest is to put Hawkeye to death. I know that Your Excellency does not want to kill him, but only wants to send him to the border.

Hailan's last sentence seemed to be mocking, and it seemed to be impatient. Jurgen pretended to push his glasses, blocking his surprised look with his hand.

Navelo Jurgen: ...... Eagle Eye may be used in the future.

Helan Clough: Nothing is perfect, you can only choose one, discard it or leave it behind. And now the situation is that if you want to keep the eagle, it will be your Excellency who will die.

Helan Clough: With all that said, it's time for me to go back, and thank you for all the preparation you made in advance, as it made my plan go relatively smoothly, but at the same time it got in the way, and I can save the accounts for later.

After Hailan left, Navelo was the only one left in the princess's study. He got up from his chair and paced up and down the study.

(Hailan must not stay!) I thought this tool was more handy, but I didn't expect it to be a gun that loves to go off...... ）

(Kill him, you have to kill him!) The biggest problem now is not the princess, nor the other nobles with outdated ideas, but the mad dog who doesn't understand who his master is. ）

Navero gritted his teeth in anger, but remained cautious. He was worried that the wall had ears, so he didn't say what he thought.

It's just that the bloody wind is already hanging in his head, and he thinks about the means that can achieve the end. Suddenly an idea came to mind, and he laughed slightly.

Chapter 3.

Lieutenant General Nibel: What to do?

Feiyan: What to do?

Lieutenant General Nebel: Should we defect to Her Royal Highness, or stay here honestly?

In the corner of the training ground of the Eaton headquarters, Nibel was drinking Coke and seemed to ask casually, but Feiyan, who was chatting with him, felt a little uneasy. She turned her head at an exaggerated angle, cautiously observing whether her boss was drunk or someone else was sitting there with a wig.

Nibel couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the thick clouds piling up in the air in the distance, and saw Feiyan's face getting closer and closer.

Feiyan: I smell the pungent smell of Coke, it seems that it must be Your Excellency, this is the first can of today?

Lieutenant General Nibel: Coke doesn't get intoxicating! But then again, does Coke really have a distinctive smell?

Feiyan: If it's like yours, plain water will also taste. If you continue to drink, I'm afraid you'll have to put on a mouthful of dentures just over forty.

Lieutenant General Nibel: ...... I'm not an old man, my teeth are strong.

Feiyan: Then again, I'm a little weird. Haven't you been fighting for Her Royal Highness all along? Why did you suddenly say that kind of thing just now?

Feiyan closed the book in her hand, looking ready to listen. The afternoon was quiet at the moment, and there was not a single pedestrian in sight on the road. Since the two entered the military system, they have always adhered to the line between superiors and subordinates, and rarely talked in the tone of the mercenary period like now.

Lieutenant General Nebel: In the past, Her Royal Highness was a symbol of the fight against Kahlert...... Now, I'm a little tired of it. In fact, for me, it doesn't matter whether there is a war or not, the key is to have hope for the end. As soon as the war drew to a close, Ghent rebelled again...... Oh, when will there be real peace?

Feiyan: The matter of Callert is not the fault of Her Royal Highness.

Lieutenant General Nibel: But it doesn't matter at all, if Andersen's case is a natural disaster, then the Kahlert incident and the problems that are now emerging should be man-made, right?

Seeing that Niebel was lost in thought, Feiyan snatched the Coke from his hand and took a large sip.

Unlike the expected sweet and silky cold taste, the cola had become warm in Nibel's hands, and the gas had run out, and it was not at all tasteful. Seeing Feiyan's beautiful brow, Nibel gloated.

Lieutenant General Nibel: That's why I've always emphasized the importance of supplies, because in the end of war, it's all about supplies. But there's absolutely no way to solve this problem right now, like this Coke you drink.

Feiyan: Your Excellency Lieutenant General uses Coke as an analogy, I'm afraid it's not very suitable, right? By the way, tell me about it. What did Your Excellency Commander say that makes you so nerve-wracking?

The commander referred to by Feiyan was the head of the Eaton Command, and when he heard Feiyan's question, Nibel's face instantly wrinkled into a bitter melon face.

Lieutenant General Nibel: Ask me if I should take this opportunity to become independent.

Feiyan: Huh?

Lieutenant General Nebel: You know the situation here. As an energy production base in Celestial, although the infrastructure has not yet been fully repaired, technicians are already in place. Even without the support of the elytra of the Seven Gods, it would be more than enough to supply one Eaton. Not to mention, now the coast guard went to Ghent. The aristocracy was also too busy dealing with the problems of Gent to take care of it. And those imperial capital troops, not to mention. So the aunt wanted to assert her rights by controlling the power supply. In short, our Commander's Aunt wants to be the Governor of Eton.

Nibel said this in a very casual tone, so the impact came more slowly. Feiyan was silently chanting 'Governor' with wide eyes when she suddenly slapped Nibel on the shoulder.

Feiyan: Crazy! You just listened to her, and you didn't object? No wonder others like to chew your tongue behind your back!

Nebel was speechless, stung by the truth that his subordinates had pointed out nakedly.

Lieutenant General Nebel: She's still in the delusional stage, and I don't want to provoke her for no reason, so I just casually echoed the phrase 'It's funny, hehe...... Ah! Stop hitting me! And this is also an important choice for Eaton! Whether we choose to live our own lives or choose to adhere to the ancient righteousness. Hey, that's a tough choice!

Feiyan: Don't be cranky! This is a matter of losing your head if you have the slightest problem, and there is nowhere to escape......

Lieutenant General Nibel: It's not the same as it used to be, now there's a Nether, and you don't have to go through Gent to get there. I've heard that the world is much bigger than the Celestial Realm, and that trying to catch a fugitive there should be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Feiyan: Well, I thought it was a national crisis...... But for careerists, it's a godsend.

Lieutenant General Nibel: So I asked you at the outset, should we defect to Her Royal Highness or stay here. If we defect to Her Royal Highness, we may be able to satisfy our sense of justice. But if something else happens, we'll be stuck there and unable to move. And on the way to escape, we are likely to encounter deserters, and if we leak the news, we will be detained by the aunt before we leave Eton. If we choose to stay here, we can take appropriate measures before the aunt who wants to be the governor does something wrong. But in this way, Her Royal Highness will have to bear all the pressure and loneliness alone. In short, if you stay here and want to make a statement in support of the princess, you will be thrown into the confinement room immediately. So if you don't want to be the hero who ends up falling into the sea in the Great Escape, you have to keep your mouth shut. Auntie, she is very clever, she is obviously planning a rebellion, but she does not leave any tricks, and even the matter of the governor is not said by herself. So I can't go to the whistleblower, or the court might sentence me to prison for false accusations.

Nibel made a series of complaints, and Feiyan was relieved. Because the boss who has been following him since he was a mercenary is still the same as before, and he has not changed because of the chaos around him. However, Nibel alone remains the same, and it will not solve the problem.

Feiyan: The Imperial Capital currently has a lot of Imperial troops, and in terms of numbers alone, they have the advantage in numbers. In order to defeat Kalert, the weapons of the Celestial Realm have been depleted. If there is no power supply again, the situation will definitely get worse. At that time, the biggest problem will not be the princess taking back her rights. Unable to strip, no, what about the Mospis Command? There's not going on there, do you know what they're up to?

Lieutenant General Nibel: Don't think about them, their internal contradictions are enough for them to drink a pot. Kahlert remnants, militias, anti-government demonstrations...... Alas, it seems that Nils also turned to Nils for help? Thankfully I didn't go there.

Feiyan: It would be nice if Hawkeye was in charge...... The damned aristocracy ruined his image! A wise commander like him is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Lieutenant General Nibel: Yes, but those who were incited are also at fault, right? It's annoying that they scolded together when they cursed, and when they were held accountable, they argued that they had been deceived.

Feiyan: Hey, how did the situation get to this point......

A casual exclamation from his subordinates made Nibel shut his mouth. How did it get to this point? Some say that it was Andersen who shook the foundations of the heavenly realm, while others say that it was the communication with the lower realm that led to the tragedy of the heavenly realm. But Nibel thinks differently. He gently stroked Feiyan's lowered head, watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon behind the thick clouds.

Lieutenant General Nibel: The adventurer opened the passage between the heavenly and nether realms, and since the adventurer came here with the Imperial army, the matter of Calett and Andersen has been settled, and the same is true of Luke...... Perhaps this is just some of the changes that adventurers have brought about. We can't say for sure if this is a fresh breeze or if it will have bigger side effects. However, the source of the contradiction is not because of the adventurer, the contradiction has long existed within the heavenly realm. As for what will evolve into the future, no one can predict...... Thankfully, though, we still have a choice.

Feiyan: Have you made your choice?

Lieutenant General Nebel: Well, I've decided to stay here. What about you?

Feiyan: Do you still need to ask? I can't bear to leave Your Excellency Lieutenant General here alone.

Feiyan still hung her head, but the corners of her mouth hidden under the black hair smiled softly.
