Gently stroking the cold blade in his hand, Lin Xuan's gaze flickered as he looked ahead, and finally closed his eyes and returned to calm.

Following.

He was woken up early in the morning by the sound of soldiers outside, and just when Lin Xuan was about to go out to have a look, Allen's adjutant appeared.

"Lord Lyudmila is awake"

followed this taciturn girl all the way to the central area, which is different from the area where Lin Xuan was under house arrest in disguise, except for the different locations, even the settings are much more luxurious.

As soon as I entered, I heard Alan's mocking voice: "Hmph, if it weren't for me going over, you think-"

"Alright, Alan, don't quarrel at this time," Warun mediated with an embarrassed expression.

"Even if you don't come, I'll be able to leave on my own!" Like a kitten that has been stepped on by its tail, Lyudmila's familiar but slightly weak voice came out.

Walking behind the silver-haired battle queen, Lim coughed.

"Hey, it's Lim, you wait for me......"

"Lord Allen, we're about to go"

"It's okay, I'm going to- huh?! Lim, what are you doing, and Warrune! As my belongings, you dare to disobey my orders......"

Ignore Alan, who was taken by Lim and Warrun. Lin Xuan, who faced Lyudmila, fell silent.

Long.

"The territory of Olmuz has basically recovered, but because of the shortage of troops, it will fall into a trough for a certain period of time" Lin Xuan said calmly: "The alliance with Count Volun has not been invalidated, and he should complete the contract after the battle......"

“……”

"I asked Eleonora to form an alliance before, I hope you can agree, even if it is hostile, you need to wait for this period of weakness to pass, with her character, if she agrees, she will not regret it, if you are still not at ease, you can take what happened on the tower-"

"That's all you want to say?" Halfway through her words was abruptly interrupted, the girl lowered her head, unable to see her expression, but her body was undoubtedly trembling, was it anger? Or sadness? Still don't understand......

“…… Your body can't continue to fight, if you can, I hope you can return to Olmuz as soon as possible," the tone was as calm as ever.

"If I leave," he raised his head, his blue eyes looked directly into Lin Xuan's eyes, "How did you fulfill your covenant with that woman?"

"I have my own way" Lin Xuan avoided the girl's gaze and replied calmly.

“…… I heard the woman say, you--have betrayed me? Tears fell down his face and dripped down his slender fingers, but the subtle sound fell to his heart.

Lin Xuan turned around: "On a certain level, it is"

"Then, as you wish," the slightly childish voice seemed to mature at this moment, but what could not be suppressed was the sadness in it, "From now on, you are in charge of everything Olmuz...... Congratulations, got what you need? ”

“…… My name is Lin Xuan."

To this day, I still don't understand, but that doesn't mean I can't respond to you in a way that I don't understand.

―――――― Split ――――――

The remnants of Merguigne's forces were wiped out by the combined efforts of the Silver Meteor Army and the Brunay Knights, who came to their aid.

Just the day before the Silver Meteor Army was reorganized and planned to return to the dynasty, things ushered in a huge turn.

Under the candlelight, Lin Xuan, who represented Olmuz, frowned and looked at the girl opposite Warun.

He had pale blonde hair that was cut off to the shoulders, clear blue eyes, and a nervous look on his upright face, but he barely insisted on speaking.

Her name is Regunus Estiru Lovaro Bastien do Charuru, and she has been raised as a prince under the name Legunas and is the daughter of Brunais. She was thought to have died in the battle at Dinant, but she was still alive. In the midst of her fight against Meguigne, she was saved by Warun and, after her personal test, she finally decided to confess her identity.

"Please allow me to ask a question" Lin Xuan suddenly interrupted Lei Qi's words, and the timid girl immediately showed a frightened expression, I am afraid that she is not only afraid of her own impoliteness, but also of repeated betrayal...... Shaking off the untimely self-deprecation in his mind, Lin Xuan asked, "Wouldn't it be nice to just keep silent and return to the royal capital?" Why choose to confess at this time"

The situation in Olmuz was already very bad, and if it weren't for the news that Lyudmila was not dead, I am afraid that the war would have broken out now, and it would not be possible to grasp it if it dragged on.

Looking at Warune's encouraging eyes, the blonde girl swallowed her saliva and said crisply: "I suspect that in the Battle of Dinant, it was the Duke of Tenardier......"

She didn't need to say the rest of the words, and the people present understood it.

(No wonder, at the time of the Battle of Dinant, the command center did not even send out a single order, it turned out to be premeditated from the beginning...... ）

Knowing this, Lin Xuan asked, "Then what can you do by confessing your identity?" ”

"I thought my name would be useful......"

"The people of Brunay believe in princes, not princesses—" Lim behind Eren began, "Do you have anything to prove yourself?" ”

Reki shook her head. "However, there is something in Arutsim that can prove my identity"

"If your guess is correct, it is Tenardiye's bad intentions, then march towards Arutsim, and we will face Tenardiye's army," Lin Xuan reminded with an expressionless face.

There was silence, and the atmosphere fell into a state of stagnation.

"Phew-" Wolrune let out a long sigh, and all eyes were on him, "I've decided, march on Arutsim - this is an opportunity to settle the civil strife in the Kingdom of Brunay once and for all!" ”

Unlike the smiles of others, Lin Xuan frowned deeply, the situation of Olmuz is urgent, and he has no choice but to retreat first, as for the covenant? Anyway, they all sat down to be called a traitor, and there was no difference between three and four times.

Just as Lin Xuan opened his mouth, a cold voice sounded.

"Main Mission: Defeat Tenardiye's army head-on and make sure that Eleonora Vertalia and Lyudmila Laurie do not die

Success Reward: 800EXP

Failure Penalty: Obliteration"

“…… That's it, do you have any comments? While Lin Xuan was silent, Warun and Allen, as well as several of Brunay's noble knights, had completed the general plan of action for the first march of Arutsim, and had made a final consultation.

Although everyone asked, their eyes were on Lin Xuan's position - at present, Lin Xuan was recognized by Lyudmila as a representative and was in charge of all matters of Olmuz.

I have to say that as soon as this decision came out, it caused an uproar in the entire Silver Meteor Army, and everyone's first reaction was betrayal, even Alan and Volun, who didn't stop until they asked Lyudmila directly. As for the reaction in the territory of Olmuz, I don't know because the distance is too far, but Lin Xuan can roughly guess what will happen, so he hurries back.

Now, though, it's not possible......

sighed helplessly in his heart, "I have no opinion."
