Chapter 19 “Assembling”
.
Part 1
A fleet of flying battleships came near the royal capital.
A single Royal Army flying battleship approaches the approaching fleet.
The cannon could be fired at any time, and armor was coming out on the deck.
Ready to fight at any time, they are wary of the affiliation of the fleet.
“The family crest of the Duke of Fanose family!? What the hell do you people think you’re doing! Why did you come so close to the royal capital!!”
Hertrude on the bridge was fed up with the captain’s voice, which was a mixture of impatience and anger.
“How many times have we had this exchange?”
She glanced at Livia, who was sitting on a seat provided for her.
When she receives a microphone from a military member of the Fanose family, she responds with an external microphone.
“I am Livia, the fiancée of the Grand Duke Bartfalt. They have my permission, so please let them go through.”
“The Grand Duke’s!?”
The startled captain, perhaps forgetting to turn off his microphone, can be heard talking with his men.
Apparently, the order was not conveyed properly.
“I mean, all we’ve heard is that Livia-sama is coming back?”
“No problem. Please let us through.”
“I-I’ll check it out.”
Stranded in front of the royal capital, Hertrude sighs.
She must have gotten tired of this kind of exchange because it has been going on so many times.
However, there is a reason for this.
Two years ago, there was a war with the former Principality Fanose, and the royal army is on guard due to the bitter experience of that time.
“That’s quite a mess. It seems like we could destroy the royal capital by ourselves right now.”
Livia turns to face Hertrude, who makes a dangerous statement, and smiles.
Her smile was gentle, very Livia-like, but to Hertrude, it seemed provocative.
“It’s impossible because Licorne is there.”
Hertrude, assured by Livia, is not amused.
Because she understands that it is true.
“I’m just saying. ——Ara? Well, it looks like we’re not the only guests.”
Hertrude’s gaze turned to an unfamiliar fleet.
It’s probably flying battleships from another country.
Looking at the family crest——.
“The Republic of Arzel, isn’t it?”
When Livia answered, Hertrude belatedly remembered.
“It’s amazing that that country would send a fleet of ships. They must have their hands full just defending their own country now.”
Livia puts her fist to her chest.
“Thanks to Noel. She convinced the Republic of Arzel to join us.”
Livia was grateful to the Republic of Arzel for assigning their forces in a difficult situation.
Hertrude raises the corners of her mouth.
“I don’t think that’s all it is.”
“Eh?”
As Livia tilted her head, Hertrude didn’t answer as payback for what she had just said.
