Elie Fils looked out the window, the leaden gray clouds were thick, and the sky seemed to be about to fall at any moment, dyeing the world white, but after a few dull thunders, the sky seemed to hold back tears and did not snow, just like this, the low and oppressive twilight made people's mood also low.

The gloomy sky was like Ellifils's heart, she clenched her fists slightly, bit her lower lip, and although she sat upright on the bench, she couldn't calm down for a long time.

She is under house arrest in this mansion at the moment, and Prince Leotis is about to leave for the north to King Qin, and Zedi's defense is likely to collapse due to Prince Leotis's insistence, causing the entire battle situation to tilt in an absolutely unfavorable direction for Aster.

Elyfils worries about Vera Hill, who has gone to Fort Los Ric to help, about the imprisoned nobles of the North, and even more about Shiloh, whose whereabouts are unknown.

Even though Shiloh sent a message to Ellifils through Hannah, she was still worried about the young man's safety.

She knew that Shiloh had a vision far beyond most of the Asters of his time, a wealth of combat and adventure experience, and even a masterful array of troops, but he was only a man, and he was only a priest of the bronze ranks.

"What are you looking at?"

The door was pushed open, and a deep voice came from it, it was Prince Leotis.

“......”

Elifils didn't answer, only glanced at the other man, and then turned his face away, ignoring Prince Leotis.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and the guys who have lived in the warm south of Wendland for a long time simply can't stand the cold winter of Astelle, and they don't dare to cross this line with the land as the boundary."

Prince Leotis saw that Elifils ignored him, and said to himself.

"You haven't seen Wendland's army, and under their iron hooves, Astor simply can't survive."

Unable to resist retorting, Elyfils had seen the Wendland army and knew that their purpose was not just for money and resources, they really wanted to destroy the ancient kingdom of Aster.

"Elifils, why are you so cowardly my nominal sister, do you say that the enemy you met in Trastein is so terrifying?"

With a wave of his hand, Prince Leotis ordered the waiters waiting outside the door to push the food cart with the food in it.

A whole fragrant roast goose, butter bread, and vegetable salad and fruit make for a pretty hearty dinner in this war-torn season.

It wasn't until she saw the food that she remembered that she hadn't eaten since noon yesterday, and it was the evening of the next day, and she was still a growing girl after all, and her stomach began to squirm in the face of delicious food.

The waiter brought the chair, and Prince Leotis sat down, while behind him, Hicrates, still standing with a blank face, like a statue made of stone.

Ordering the waiter to pour a rich and mellow red wine, Prince Leotis raised his goblet.

"The hunger strike is long gone, Elifils, I don't want to go back to Camilo with a corpse, and I don't think Hicrates would mind feeding you if you don't want to do it yourself."

Faced with the threat in Prince Leotis's words, Elyfils didn't feel anything, but for the sake of future plans, she decided to temporarily follow the other party's words, stood up and walked to the table.

The waiter immediately brought a chair for Erefels and filled her glass with wine.

The dismembered roast goose has been coated with honey to give it a golden hue, and the juicy meat is soft and tender, and the sauce is carefully blended.

Alifils swallowed softly, and she watched as the waiter divided the contents of the silver plate equally among the two of them, and then took the silver plate away, leaving only two plates of roast goose with a rich aroma.

"To Astre."

Prince Leotis raised his glass and said a toast, and he looked at Elifils with a smile on his face.

"To Astre."

Elyfils also raised the goblet, but the two of them were not the same as Aster, Prince Leotis probably thought of the kingdom under his control, and Erefels was concerned about the people living in this land.

Taking a sip of the slightly cool red wine, the aroma immediately took over the lips and teeth of Erefels, and flowed down the tip of her tongue into her throat, she was not used to drinking, but at the moment she enjoyed the contents of the glass.

Cutting a small piece of roast goose with skin with a knife and fork, Elevels dipped it in a little dark sauce and sent it to her mouth, and in an instant, the rich flavor filled her entire mouth, the roast goose roasted by fruit wood was fat but not greasy, exuding the fragrance of fruit, with the sauce, there was no greasy feeling of ordinary meat, and the juice locked in the meat by high temperature spread in the mouth, matching with the crispy skin, soft and refreshing intertwined, people can't help but want to eat.

And after pairing with red wine, this goose meat shows a richer layer.

"That's what a princess should look like."

Prince Leotis seemed quite pleased with Elifils's actions, and he ate a piece of roast goose, as if he had been enjoying it so often, and he did not show much satisfaction, but only treated it as an ordinary dish.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I sincerely ask you, don't abandon the defense line of Zedi, this war still has a turning point, if you give up directly, then Wendland's offensive will only become more fierce."

Elyfils swallowed the goose meat and said in a serious tone.

"Elyphels, you are all kingdomed. The army was betrayed, and still don't understand the reality? ”

Prince Leotis took another sip of the liquid from the glass and continued.

"Your biological father, Richard. Livias has already colluded with Eve Marie and them, and you are really naïve to use this war to eradicate us princes and princesses who are far away from the royal capital, in this day and age, only you are worthy of trust. ”

"No, Your Highness the Prince, you are wrong, in this day and age, if you can't trust others, then you can only die alone."

Erefice retorted that she still believed in many people, and the figure of the brown-haired young man appeared in her mind, and for some reason, the originally uneasy mood suddenly calmed down a lot.

"Let's wait until I become king."

Prince Leotis put another piece of roast goose meat into his mouth, and raised his goblet to drink the red wine, but before he could savor it, a familiar figure appeared at the door.

"Your Royal Highness, the scout has a situation in return."

It was Gerala Hyde, his face full of solemnity, but he was silent again when he saw Erifes, not knowing whether to continue to report.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that Ellifils is still my sister after all."

Prince Leotis waved his hand and motioned for Geralheide to continue.

“...... The scouts in the south reported that a large wave of Wendland's army was marching towards it, and it was expected to ...... In less than an hour, you'll be in Kainzburg! ”

Geralhaide's voice was steady, as if that fact had not exceeded his expectations.

Hicrates still had a poker face, and nothing seemed to shake him easily.

Elefils stopped what she was doing, she knew that Wendland would definitely come to attack Keynzburg, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and it would cross the defense line of several fortresses in Cainzburg in Zedi so quickly, she naturally didn't know that there were no Astelle soldiers stationed in those forts, so her heart was full of doubts.

"You—What do you say!?"

As for Prince Leotis, his expression was incredulous, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and the crimson liquid soaked into the woolen carpet like blood. (To be continued.) )
