Part 1. (Un-edited)
Dell Van Cool, Capital of Kshyperuk kingdom has fallen.
Also Kshyperuk state of war which continue to being invaded.
These situation had been report back to the homeland of Jaroudeku.
The 1st crown prince, Kratos who rule the country in place of King Bartolomeu who was sick bedridden, blurring with the joyful look appearance on the "Throne" located in the center of royal palace, tell the nobles who sit in roll.
[According to the report, after conquered the fallen Kshyperuk's Dell Van Cool has been grant favorable result to our side but it not like we can dominate the entire Kshyperuk in anytime soon. but when that happen, it almost as good as most of the western countries lie with in our palm. the remaining miscellaneous countries presence are noting more than flies, this will be the new founding of strongest nation .....since the collapse of "Fil Zehnder Ar Baden"]
There were roaring around after the prince word.
Kshyperuk is a huge nation in the west as well as Jaroudeku (the coalition country of Rokard is a bonus).
When combine their territory together,
It could be said that it will be the birth of largest nation among majority of the west.
The west will be under one banner of Father of the world (Ancient Fil Zehnder Ar Baden) which perish long time ago again,
It no longer just a ambition dream to fulfill anymore.
[As your gentlemen also knew, we will take action with careful prearrangement. base on it, my younger brother, Cristobal had perform a well done job for me. as expected of a guy with ferocious mind, exactly deserve to be called the best sword of Jaroudeku.]
Full please laughter play along with the prince word of good mood Kratos,
The group before the throne are separate to the side as they made a way then a 17 years old girl stepped forward.
All the sharpness gaze turn back at Kratos,
Her feature is her cloth which similar to him as the common point. (may be a royal dress)
[Look like Cris is doing well, right? the occupation progress also proceed steadily, probably a good time for let it handle by the hand of "This Girl" by now. as we discussed, just appoint me as political affairs assistant]
That right, the eldest daughter of Jaroudeku king, "Katalina Camilla Jaroudeku" said.
The brother (Kratos) nodded in response while smile wryly
[Um, Cristobal maybe lacking talent in this, he is good at war after all. that why we have you for that purpose, show us your great support!]
The 2nd prince, Cristobal is a combat maniac, in addition, other people also acknowledge him in that way.
Against the eldest daughter who unsuitable for war, but skilled in political ability.
In order to govern territory that now larger , it was a perfect ability fit for the job.
Received encouragement of her brother,
Katalina come down, bow along with the word of acknowledgment.
[With this, Kshyperuk kingdom invasion will be proceed without trouble, and, how are the movement of neighboring countries?]
A man in military officer cloth came forward following response to Kratos inquiry.
He is one from knight order which most of them remaining in the country for the sake of border security.
[Haa, here are my report, there were movement of country of loneliness (Eleven Flag) , our Lead Bone knight order will take this invasion chance to eliminate it. please take a loot at this, I urge you to grant us full permission on this matter.]
[How troublesome!, Just tell The Lead Bone Knights, to process with caution and safely]
The Grand master made his deep bow and keep down like that while he back away.
Then, After Kratos made his confirmation,
He rewarded each officers who were in charge in each task.
The order was gave out eventually,
The voice sent out to one man who stood in sulky face at the corner between the audience.
[... "Sir Cruz!" , your work this time was indeed play a great cause. The result that produce by "Levitate ship" , under the guidance of those ships, has bring a very victory to us. ]
[I'm unworthy for your praise, as long as help out his royal highness and the nation, this one incompetence intend to keeping devote both heart and soul from now on]
Kratos smile in return instant but also made a small snorted, at the man who silently, keep remain lower his head in his respectful manner.
[As expected from great man who keep strive for result. from now on, keep continue to support my black knights order]
[...As your wish, then if there are 3 workshops right now, I could present you with a newly force to supplied to the black knight order]
For the man who bow in awkward gesture behind between the audience, aside his word content, it does not seem be fit attitude for a king officer who received a praise from his king. in fact, any noble are looking at the situation with their furrowed eyebrows.
[...That man, does he not seem to be unexpected rude before the very presence of his highness a bit?]
[It all right, regard the place, certainly that his gesture is scatter bird but if he can keep working fully for our country then the courtesy which has no real value can be toss aside.]
Kratos carve a deep smile on his well equipped poker face. the nobles around display their consent appearance but also not show their disturb feeling by such ambiguous attitude.
One man who just withdraw from the conference, stripped off his jacket wildly and took a quick pace to the corridor of the royal palace, loosen his neck and finally took a breath. the cloth for ceremony display a grace feeling but too cramped, almost to the point of suffocation.
there was a medium high body build under that jacket, the body seem to have been trained utterly. this show that he was nor blacksmith or knight (but both??).
[yareyare, this really feel weird... his royal highness is perform his duty as "Proxy" as usual. well, to received a great support in such scale, I wonder about the fact that airship suppose to be just a mean to fly in the sky.]
The name of this man is "Horacio Cruz", who serve as Jaroudeku Kingdom head temple of technology development for 30 years.
To put it in simple word, A central figure head in workshop of development.
It is he the one who---realized his family's theory---by proposed it to the country, his innovative idea by applied it for weapon propose caught attention and being evaluated.
His family leading theory, that is being call "Function Logic of Pure Ether". the magic foundation principle which is a power that move this world,
Theoretical system that anatomize characteristic of "Ether" which could be said that it is the ground basis of the previous era.
A technology that come by multi-derived from that point.
As conclude result, it provide a full-fledged support for Kshyperuk kingdom invasion.
"Levitate Technology" ---to complete this technology which is the essence of Function logic of pure ether, the first man who utilize it by show "Levitate ship" to the world.
[Thank to his royal highness, however, the problem that happen here also suffocated as well]
Not only a ship that can be fly in the sky that he need to do.
Furthermore,
It also overlap with completion date of new model silhouette knight which were hasten from former schedule, could not be achieve by just thinking or only great determination.
There were great ambition which inherited inside the royal family of Jaroudeku kingdom.
An ambition to conquered the west by force, to become a super power nation as legend before.
Now with the world first flight force accordance with new entirely management logic,
Plus the new model silhouette knight with combat capability that far greater than the old generation.
that definitely poured smolder fire seed.
[Since thing become important. the gaze of the nobles also surely a pain]
To disclose 'Function logic of pure ether" which had been his family conceal research and study secret, had become a perfect dogma for Horacio.
It cost a huge price to realization it,
In other word, it need a national scale support.
Therefore he, betrayed his family by lent his knowledge to Jaroudeku kingdom.
This prospectus of him achieved so well until now.
[Yare-Yare , I don't know where is my airship flying right now, they should just hurry up end the war already, I'm too also want to flying in the sky as soon as possible.]
Horacio whose appearance still fired up and had been looking up at the sky from the hallway for a while, resume his vitality and return to the central development work which also his home as usual,
He walk toward to the landing site for an airship.
Airship that has been built until now were too few in numbers and its using still not spread much.
As its developer, he was permitted to use it at his will as method of transportation.
[Oh'yaa, I'm just arrive....]
When he reached a landing site, Horacio come across a person.
Who was trying to board the flight which set course to Kshyperuk kingdom,
It's Princess Katalina,
At that time, he remembered the conversation that had been exchanged in the conferece.
A revelation flashed back to Haracio mind.
Soon, he took a quick pace to Katalina.
[Please excuse me, Your Highness, Katalina-sama, could you bestow me a moment of time?]
[Are you perhaps, Sir Cruz? considerate of your great deed as your airship, then it might be possible.]
Katalina send a suspicious gaze at Horacio who sudden appear, pointed at the next air ship.
[We're aware about your busy-arimasu. to sum up, I would like to ask your highness a favour-gozaimasu]
[...I must off to Kshyperuk as soon as possible, please made it briefly.]
Horacio thank her while raise up vigorously.
[As i mentioned to his highness Kratos, I plan to haste the progress of my work about black knights and airship. however, it can be done with more room in workshop, For that purpose, there is a need for "Information"....by the way, that best information can be obtained from the Black knight which utilize the airship across battlefield area sky only... we do not have information on other land of Kshyperuk beside that.]
Katalina face display a fully eyebrows while being retreat.
[With advantage of my knowledge power, for the sake to provide further force to our country, please allow me to accompany your highness to Kshyperuk...]
Horacio gallantly lower his head while hide his inner smile behind his expression. (this guy just want to run away and ride airship only right? )
Part 2
Woodland, Old kshyperuk kingdom center.
A sound of cavalry and horse-drawn carriage that been travel can be heard slowly between the tree which sunshine illuminated light through.
A large burden rest in the hand of maiden who ride the carriage.
They are moving slowly even they were not order to proceed quietly due to a cry and seclude circumstance happen inside the main horse-drawn carriage.
The circumstances are being showed by people who ride in horse-drawn carriages.
The fatigue was distinctively displayed on her face, the girl who has become expressionless through her weakening body.
This very girl is no one but, Eleonora, who was suppose to be a princess of Kshyperuk kingdom.
The wife of king Kshyperuk younger brother, Martina sat opposite her.
There are also another girl next to her who look at her(Eleonora) with care feeling, her name is Isadora, Martina's daughter.
[Eleonora, get a hold of yourself! I also regret about what happend to his majesty.... but, From now on, you need to support the country. also drive off those villains out from here.]
Isadora even raise her voice when she notice that Eleonora did not response back,
She keep shake the body which seem belong to a people who just broken sync with the shaking of the horse-drawn carriage.
While Martina who watching the situation display an expression by increase the wrinkle, raised her eyebrows.
Since during the escape, Eleonora had been keep up this lifeless state.
Her figure right now is very looking like a doll, un-feel the animate, as her good look which blossom in full glory is now disappear.
Look at Isadora who scream her voice to reach out her many times yet no reaction, It would be most likely end up futile.
They were barely escape from the royal palace with a sacrifice of the king on the night that capital city, Dell Van Cool was attacked by the steel wing knights.
The woman and girl group are originally plan to go straight to the east.
The younger brother of Fernando who was Martina husband is the grand duke who governing the eastern part and presence there.
There are no better place to hide the princess who need to success the throne than that area.
But their movement were hinder by the airship of steel wing knights.
With great foresight as expect of the late knight Akatsuki, the Jaroudeku troops was too busy and careless, occupied with the late king.
It took before long for them to notice the disappearance of the royal family.
The royal blood line of the country which reign supreme in the west.
The remaining of king family which become a problem in later time.
They had been relentlessly sought for information about the royal family that fled while extending their hand by invade more further inside Kshyperuk domestic area.
With the apparent appearance of ship that once across the sky, Martina group journey turn into covert travel as top priority.
It could be say that this place is the last hope for Kshyperuk kingdom.
With the precious bloodline, the last one by any chance, the escort knights choose to proceed with extreme caution.
For that sake, they try to avoid and keep contact city with minimum as much as possible to prevent a leak clue about their trail.
They keep continue a big detour in the forest and get away from highway.
The hidden passage way with rough condition which not comfortable as good as the normal one.
In such hopeless situation and nothing to support.
It can't be help nor blame as the heart of Eleonora who was pampered and grown up in a cage bird broken at very early.
[...If she continue to be like this, Even we able escape safely, The heart on this child may not be recover.]
The escape itself already a lot of problem, It could be said that they already riddled with enough problem even there have no problem with the girl body, but her mind
Martina has been struggling about Eleonora state.
Even after they arrived at grand duchy state,
They may not be able to revive Kshyperuk kingdom under legitimate banner under Eleonora who was a lineage blood.
She is clearly critically lacking the strength enough to stand on the top which is necessary for that purpose.
Martina suddenly glanced at the state of her own daughter who sit beside.
Isadora who still act with out losing gallant in this predicament,
Although Isadora wearing an air of worrying Eleonora,
She never give up on herself.
As expected of tomboy who put an air and mockery of the knight,
Could be said that her strength in this situation is hard to posses.
If Eleonora even has 10% of her daughter strength...,
While Martina who can't help but only think so, the horse-drawn carriage which had continued to proceed ride is suddenly stop its movement.
Knights in the surrounding are moving in hurry, come through inside of horse-drawn carriage.
[....What happen!?]
The horseback knight, open the window,at Martina asked sharply to the knight who accompany.
[My apology for speak from the horseback, from our scout report, they found an abnormal situation ahead.]
[Is it a enemy?]
[I do not know the detail. unlikely by any chance, The place is very detour from the main road .... ]
While knight said and turned around, that moment, their ear able to heard the sharp wind noise, also an arrow that flying at the same time, pierced though head of knight who peek out of window.
In front of very eye of Martina who was breath taking,
The figure of knight disappear from the window and collapsed from horseback.
[Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack!]
[Impossible! it should be further ahead isn'it !?]
[Just move any way, we are sitting duck like this....Guard!?]
While the escort knights prepare to retreat for sudden attack.
The crossbow soldiers appear from the bushes one after another in the mean time and mercilessly slaughtered them.
All members were wearing the armor of unified design.
The coat of arms painted with Jaroudeku kingdom insignia.
The surprise attack reduce number of escort knights steadily,
Coachman who ride on the royal horse-drawn carriage try to sudden accelerated the carriage by whipping the horse.
He also one who had receive a knight training.
The speed could be said that was to be fully maximize,
However, it was too late for such a situation.
Suddenly, a light come flying with dazzling orange land on the ground in the way of the horse-drawn carriage, follow up with an explosion.
Strong wind fan the fire overwhelm a horse and kill it.
Horse-drawn carriage was roll over 180 degree, land and bounce on the ground about 3 times.
Full of multiple footsteps approaching from the front.
A sound of armor made from metal that hitting each other,
Further more, a high-pitched sound of drive by crystal tissue can be heard, also the muffled intake sound of ether reactor sucking the air too.
There is no need to explain the true identity of sound origin,
A giant knight in jet-black armor that higher than trees--- a silhouette knight is approaching slowly.
It appear not only one machines, one after another are coming from the surrounding in total of 6 silhouette knight machines appear to en-circle around the horse-drawn carriage.
A giant knight with armor of heavy black iron could bee seen.
Just as the other day that the capital city was trampled by the new mass production machine of Jaroudeku kingdom, "Tyrantor".
It projected the back armed from its back, which had a trace of pale light that prove a existence of magic bullet.
The flesh and blood soldiers are running in agonize from the foot of Tyrantor.
They are completely surround the overturned carriage that unable to move.
All of them were line up with crossbow and cane.
Then a person come out before them was a man in armor. assume to be a captain who try to pull his men together, raised the distort voice in the form of smile.
[The person who in the horse-drawn carriage, come out to the outside. resistance is futile.]
Of course probably suffered a great damage above all degree by surprise, only silence come return.
But he snorted the unpleasant-up, cast a demand again.
[Apart from us, the only survival are now only you. I'm also thinking about blow this remain carriage too, you know?]
It seem to be blatant threat but, Tyrantor aim its weapon according to his word, how was it?
[Please wait.]
There are sigh sound only a minute.
A really answer had been return.
The man straight himself raised flutter and eyebrows.
The door of the carriage which had been overturned is [being blown from the inside]. **did she kick it to force open??
Jaroudeku soldiers are scaring and set up their weapons.
A figure crawling come out slowly from horse-drawn carriage.
It's Martina, she drawn herself up on top of horse-drawn carriage and glaring at ordinary soldiers which surrounding area.
[Fuh!, to even bring along such exaggerated thing as silhouette knight. Well? you group just gang up on one woman who not even hold a single weapon, am I not allow to even speak? ]
Strengthening her woman tall stance on top of horse-drawn carriage and overlooking a large surrounding area, while wearing a thin dirty dresses for a long journey,
despite her state, She did not look lose her majesty and power
The soldiers recognize her instant, the man who was a captain also relieved, he regain the nasty-nice attitude and recall the situation.
[My, my, my, to think that her royal highness Martina-sama was here. I almost extremely fear that we would be not able to meet your grace face.]
[Suit yourself....]
Martina ignored the captain man word with a frown and looked around.
Her group had been completely surrounded by soldiers.
Further more, there also have silhouette knight in far away.
on the contrary, her escort knights who protect her are all already fallen.
The situation is too unfavorable.
Even use herself as a decoy, will Eleonora and Isadora be able to escape successfully?
She bitten her lip and tighten herself for not be able to reach a conviction.
[His highness Cristobal command us to capture you lady, we can confirm your safety.... as long as no more resistance being made, I could said that there will no un-expect thing happen. that if you follow us peacefully, but if not, we may need resort to do something that rashly un-call for.]
Martina eyebrows close in displeasure at the captain word that block her from made the decision while did not even try to hide his overwhelming superiority.
Indeed, there was no room for her rebellious mind to decide what to do there.
After all, his giant knights are intimidating her in silence.
A human being can turned into ground meat instant, anymore resistance is meaningless in front its power.
[Surely, you should already foresaw it coming...no matter whatever we do, it will end up as a failure, those Silhouette knights are bad news.]
A chagrin down murmur could be heard from Martina,
The man captain wear up his ugly smile then continue his word,
[Ops, It may be too late to say this. but from the direction that your horse-drawn carriage heading, there are seem be a ships appearance aimed at the east territory. it is certainly targeted at the late king brother territory. however, it really shame isn't? since we are, "the one who come from that direction(the east territory)", you know?]
Up until now, Martina heart was full of chagrin of stout so this news take away all her will power.
[I...It can't be.... You guys!]
[As expected of clever lady, you should be able to figure it out already right? that the pride airship fleet of our country! The Steel Wing Knight orders, are heading to conquer "Fontanie" , the east capital city of this dukedom!]
The fact struck hard at Martina who was collapse as it was illusion.
The frighten news keep flooding, the sound of annoying blood flow could be heard badly.
While enduring the worst premonition, she glared at man at the her brave heart.
While he pretend to be unnaturally daunted as he mock her, he keep split more despair after stop being pretended.
[Yes , yes, look like the Prince brother himself was die in the midst of conquered battle too or something like that. with this, the remaining royal blood in this country is you lady only. there was no more place to escape for you anymore.]
At last, Martina was score down to her knees.
Despair, filled in her heart, sink her, and shattered all hope that support her.
(arr.....arrrr....mou, everything is over now. both Dear husband (Fernando) and Brother in law (Augustin) are all gone... how can one girl gonna regain back this country.....?)
The soldiers keep encircle them closer to made her give up.
No way to escape, no power to resist.
Dead-end is before her, include the captured daughter who had been shivering in horse-drawn carriage.
The last hope which place in old Kshyperuk duchy, The princess Eleonora party had fell into the hand Jaroudeku kingdom.
This news keep spreading enough to break the spirit of defiance that remained in the old Kshyperuk kingdom nobles.
It was happened in west calendar years 1281,
At early summer of smell smolder season.
