BELLUM PRAESINTIA That is not something that can be used as an excuse for all these problems
Nightfall arrived, truly peaceful. The sound of crickets always accompanied Garlan's time for reading the book he brought from the palace; it was targeted for moments of relaxation like this.He didn't want to be burdened by the constant affairs of the kingdom; even his rest felt exhausting.Outside, Rosa watched over the area, ensuring no strangers entered Garlan's room.She carried out her duty as a guard very seriously, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings. Even the passing wind would be considered suspicious movement, and she wouldn't hesitate to draw her sword.Tap! Tap! Tap!"Footsteps?" Rosa tensed all her muscles, her gaze fixed on the knocks coming from behind the crossroads. The person who had this footstep had yet to appear, but she was prepared to strike deadly."Subtle footsteps. Is this person deliberately crossing this path? I won't allow it; it might be an assassin!"The figure began to appear, and Rosa had her sword ready to strike.And..."Aaah..."A woman's
BELLUM PRAESINTIA This seemingly simple thought becomes a terrible burden
"Very strange, why is the atmosphere so calm?" Rosa kept her eyes open, although her body was starting to feel tired, her once clear eyes now wavering.But, she refused to rest for even a moment, determined to carry out this task even if it meant staying up all night.Her body felt comfortable in this silence, although earlier in the day, it was bustling with the sounds of people going about their activities."No, this is too calm!" She began to feel something was wrong, her head turning towards the positions of the other guards who were on duty.They were stationed at their respective posts for Garlan's safety, and Rosa was the closest to his room.They all had their own assigned tasks, and they wouldn't let anything bad happen.Her eyes scanned the surroundings while her footsteps continued to echo through the empty streets. But as she walked further, nothing happened."What!"Unfortunately, her naive feeling was too unbelievable, as many guards had already fallen in that location.
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Problem That Was Unexpected
"No other choice, I have to leave from here!" He growled firmly, then daringly rushed towards Garlan.The sword he held began to swing quickly. "Get out of my way; I will defeat you right here..."Swings...Surprisingly, Garlan also charged toward him. It was going to be a one-sided battle of strength.Tings...Everything was eerily silent, the perfect moment for Rosa to appear and watch in silence as these two men continued their confrontation.Both of them stood still as their bodies brushed past each other, their swords still in the finishing swing position."What's happening here?" Rosa asked in confusion.Crash...But after a while, it became clear who had won the fight as the foreign man fell, blood pouring from his abdomen and mouth."Argh... why do I get into situations like this?"Chills ran down his spine as he heard a slight movement from the sword behind his head. He didn't dare to turn around; a quick glance was enough to see a fierce silhouette constantly watching him."
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Even though you have provided understanding, this will still feel difficult to convey
His hands trembled as he watched several gold coins, around 20 of them, and these were valuable, worth enough to exchange for 100 lives for just one gold coin."Take that thing! Consider it as compensation for what happened..."Of course, he couldn't be happy witnessing this. People needed to work so hard to survive. Obtaining even a single silver coin was so difficult, and now he held 20 gold coins in his hand."T-Thank you..."He instantly knelt down, followed by his servants and employees, all of them overcome with emotion.No one expected this, but the recent incident would also lead to a bad reputation.At the very least, Garlan wanted to prepare for the possibility this inn might be closed.After this incident, Garlan and his guards continued their journey.They were a bit late, as they had initially planned to leave at dawn. But now, the sun was scorching, making it hard to find their way.Some people at the inn still considered their presence unusual and whispered sarcasticall
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Even though this visit was not very valuable, remembering everything that happened is a memory that must be shared.
Rosa's face still had to be amazed by the town behind that fortress, bustling with people.It didn't seem like a city in the Citrullus region; the people here were much more welcoming, and they didn't look surprised at Garlan's carriage."So many people in this town!""This place is one of the cities that witnessed a long war. I remember they all hoped that the border troops could survive, and even some residents refused to evacuate to protect the land in this country..."Memories from Garlan's past resurfaced, but this was what made him recall the scent of the desire to fight, even in the most dire circumstances."It's amazing how the people here have a patriotic attitude to protect their homeland!"Rosa became increasingly jealous of the people who took part in the war at that time. The reality at the time was filled with frightening contradictions, and there were many possibilities they could have failed, making the entire population there suffer. Perhaps, if it weren't for luck, t
BELLUM PRAESINTIA The desire to meet him has been around for quite a long time
Rosa's face began to look gloomy throughout the journey; she had smooth skin like a respected servant. Garlan actually felt it was a pity if Rosa were to become a knight with rough manners; her beautiful face could be used for other tasks.However, Rosa's stubborn attitude and bravery made her a true knight.Her hard training even made male soldiers reluctant to duel with her."Why are you so quiet like this?" Garlan asked, sensing that Rosa was thinking about something.Rosa looked startled; every time Garlan called her, her heart would race."N-No, I just wonder if Princess Elisa will accept my presence as a warrior."Rosa had heard how resilient Elisa had fought for all this alongside Garlan and Endra. She, who was just a girl picked up by Garlan, felt unworthy to meet a princess.Elisa's position had also changed to that of a sovereign leader; in other words, she was the queen of the entire region now.How could someone dirty and rough like Rosa meet such a respected figure?"You'
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Two discussions that each have their own aims
It took a long process to make this decision, but it was happening inside their minds."In that case, fine!"Rosa was surprised to hear a stranger, someone she didn't know, say it so casually.It seemed that what had happened had made Jennie more familiar with the two people in front of her. She no longer needed to ask what would happen; she just had to comply with the words spoken.Rosa had no choice but to obey; she had to be outside the room, standing by the door as if she were a guard.On the other hand, Jennie had a stoic expression. Rosa didn't know if Jennie had any combat skills or if she was just an ordinary servant. However, the sharp gaze directed at her was no joke, and the aura emanating from Jennie was so strong that Rosa had to be cautious."May I ask you something?"In the midst of this confusing turmoil, Rosa had to face a question from Jennie, which only added to her confusion.At the very least, there was no intention to kill, so she had to answer, "Yes, of course.
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Delicately Pledged Agreement
"Wait a moment, have you gone mad doing this?"It indeed sounded utterly nonsensical, Elisa's actions were something dangerous. Handing over the entire kingdom to a man unconditionally, only marrying her as a wife might be acceptable, but something like this was entirely unethical."General Garlan, I have witnessed the extent of your ability to move a soldier's heart, and you can even do good deeds amidst your busy schedule! Your actions as the minister in the Citrullus region have been kingly, and you are truly worthy of that position..."Garlan tried to think positively; he wouldn't possibly be swayed by something like this."The more I think about it, the more the answer seems utterly nonsensical!" Garlan replied, then sharpened his gaze.Not afraid or embarrassed, instead Elisa looked serious. They seemed to be on the verge of a confrontation, but their minds were engaged in a complex battle of thoughts."It's fine, but consider that all the sacrifices you've made will never be co
