After a night in the forest, the next day, the princess managed to return to Ironwing Castle with the king and queen. The success of the raid team and the return of His Majesty the King greatly boosted the morale of the Loyalists.

Little Lori has also been properly treated, and is currently not life-threatening, however...... Nor sober either.

The princess and the others, who had lost the Colossus, teleportation and chants, did not stop, and now that the enemy had lost the Iron Wing Knights and was demoralized, it was a good opportunity to take the royal city in one go.

However, it was at this juncture that Isabella noticed that some subtle rumors were beginning to spread among the army.

"Hey, I see, it looks like a divine punishment has befallen the Iron Wing Knights. ”

"It is said that the fall of the Iron Wing Knights was entirely at the hands of Lord Leah. ”

"Maybe...... Mistress Leah Farain is the reincarnation of the Goddess. ”

"Hey, it's a lie, but if I want to say, Lord Leah may have been favored and blessed by the goddess. ”

Rumors spread among the soldiers, mostly about Leah.

However, this is clearly at odds with the princess's secrecy strategy, as Isabella didn't even say any details about the invasion of the palace when she returned.

It is clear that someone deliberately divulged this secret.

At this time, the princess was full of anger, and the things she had worked so hard to hide were still poked out, and if she continued like this, what would happen when Leah woke up?

So she began to look for the culprit, but the more she searched. The more surprised she became, it wasn't someone who was saying something out loud, but a more deliberate rumor.

Thereupon. Things rose to the stage of small intelligence and counter-intelligence warfare, and a few days later......

Click!

On this day, a series of crisp and rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor, indicating that the owner of the high heels was in a bad mood now.

Boom!

The door was rudely pushed open, and Isabella entered the study of King Cliff Randall VI with an angry face.

"What the hell is going on, Father?"

The princess asked.

"You've grown a lot, Isha. It came sooner than I expected. ”

King Cliff seems to have known that the princess would come for him. Said unhurriedly.

"You shouldn't joke about this kind of thing, we made an agreement!"

Isabella stomped her feet angrily, the other party was her father. And occasionally I will make some intelligence warfare hide-and-seek like this to train my ability, but in any case, this time it is too much.

"No, I didn't promise you anything. Isa. And I'm not going to joke about it. ”

"Then why ......"

"Because you should have foreseen such a situation. Isa. ”

"What do you mean?"

The princess calmed down, and she could feel that there was no malice on the other side.

"I mean- even if you ask all of us to keep this secret, but what about Duke Arman? What about Germain? These people don't keep it for us, do they?"

The king said.

"But I don't think they're going to tell the truth, that would ruin what little morale the army has left. ”

"That's right. The problem, however, is that he can't. Listen, Isa, it's inconceivable enough to hide the disappearance of a knight order, let alone ...... Let's take a look, these are the messages coming from Randall City. ”

The king handed a report to Isabella.

"Randall City...... Ruined!?"

The princess looked at the contents of the report. I couldn't help but shout.

"To be precise, the walls of the outer fortress were destroyed, and the blue rain covered a wide area. Not only did it include the Iron Wing Knights, but it even affected the royal city. ”

"That's ......"

"In this way, no one can stop the rumors from spreading, the Iron Wing Knights are gone, and the royal city is destroyed. Randall City will not be an obstacle to us, but by the time we reclaim it, rumors will sooner or later reach the army, and we will look suspicious if we remain silent, Isha. ”

King Cliff's words are very simple, because of the relationship between the Iron Wing Knights and the destruction of the royal city, Leah's secret will no longer be a secret, rumors have already grown in the royal city, and when they take Randall, these rumors will spread unstoppably among the royalists.

"But then, everything we've done before isn't ...... In vain......"

The princess became depressed.

"No, you have to understand, my dear daughter. At the moment, only us, and Arman, have the truth. Luckily, just as Arman looked down on me, his words were worthless in our eyes. Then as long as we don't speak, the rumors ......"

"Rumors are always just rumors. ”

Isabella laughed, she understood what her father was thinking.

"That's right, rumors are wildfire, and denying or admitting it will only make it burn harder and brighter.

So, just leave it alone, though it might be a little hard for your friend, our savior, Miss Leah. However, I think you should trust your friends, the Duke of Brown's daughter can't be knocked down by rumors, that's just ridiculous. ”

Finally, the king spread his hands and smiled.

"Oh, my dear father, you should have told me this sooner. ”

The princess smiled, glad that her father was on a united side with her.

"I just want to prove to you that your father isn't completely old and confused. ”

The king smiled wryly.

"You've never been foolish, you're my father, King of Randall. ”

Noticing the other party's expression, Isabella realized that Germain's rebellion was a painful blow to the king.

"No, I'm old, Isa. I was unaware of Germain's conspiracy, and took it for granted that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to take back power from the hands of the three nobles. I want to do something for you, you are a girl, and you will definitely face too much hardship as a king in the future.

And lo and behold, I messed things up and left you with a mess. ”

The king shook his head weakly.

"Father's ......"

The princess wanted to say something to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I'm not depressed or decadent, and I don't plan to pass the rest of my time with a bottle of wine.

You have a lot of friends and they will support you and support you, and that's comforting. So let me fight that shameless villain again, Isha.

The battle is not over yet, and since the Britts and Bartleys are bent on fighting against me, I will take them all.

Until that day - my daughter - you will be King of Randall!" (To be continued......
