Chapter 631
Capturing the Archduke of Saint-Ouan has a qualitatively different meaning from the handing over of Kernstadt.
Kernstadt literally secures ‘scale’ in terms of overall forces.
However, the Archduke is the general manager of Titan management, one of the main forces of the Allied Forces.
Of course, going into the details, the anti-aircraft alone cannot maneuver the titan, but the titan occupies a very large force in the allied forces.
It was enough to turn the tide of battle in a big city attack battle in 7 minutes.
Right now Immortals are in formidable majesty, but Titans are second to none and continue to be improved in real time.
Just because the Archduke is on my side doesn’t mean I can have a Titan.
It means you can neutralize the Titan.
Just like I don’t want immortals to be used in such situations. There should never be a situation where the Titans are used for anything other than fighting monsters.
As long as there is a direction to pursue, I must thoroughly neutralize the Allied Forces and the Empire.
Capturing Kernstadt would have neutralized half of the Allied forces, and neutralizing the Titans would have rendered one of the Allied power axes unusable.
No matter which way we meet, I go alone to the place where I go to meet the Grand Duke.
It is I who Sarkegar first contacts the archduke and talks to him.
Let the Archduke decide where to meet.
You can meet them in Arnaca, the capital of the Principality of Saint-Ouan, but in that case, the Archduke may be very uncomfortable.
I don’t want it to look like a threat to the Grand Duke in any way. That’s why I’m not sending Harriet, but I’m going myself.
The allied forces had already left Gsonosia and began a re-advance. After all, there was no battle in Gsonosia anyway.
Sarkegar, who returned to Razak with Lucinil, returned earlier than I thought.
“What, why did you come with the head of the household and not with Harriet?”
In charge of movement, Harriet, who is quick to cast, tends to put in and return in designated places.
But why did you come with Lucinel and not with Harriet?
“I don’t know, the clerk was going to bring him, but he said he didn’t want to go with me.”
“… … Why?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Does Sarkegar cover people?
Humans hated all of them, but I remember that I didn’t particularly hate Harriet.
“Anyway, have you decided on a place?”
“… … We have yet to face the Grand Duke.”
What is it, the work is not finished, so why are you here?
I’ve gotten used to it now because I often show evil and gloomy expressions.
This is the first time Sarkegar has seen such an expression.
It’s a bit strange that he insisted on sending Harriet back and bringing Lucinil back.
“that… … . Actually, it may not be that important… … . Because I think His Highness should know… … . The reason why I didn’t bring the scribe was… … .”
Long live to see Sarkegar flustered and gibberish.
“… … Why are you suddenly like this? What?”
Sarkegar showed a rare hesitation, and Lucinil tilted his head as if something was strange.
Did something happen?
what didn’t work out?
“I guess… … . The one who developed Titan… … . His Highness’s classmate… … .”
“Adelia? Why is he?”
What are you trying to say?
What did Adelia say?
“That child… … . Apparently, to the Archduke of Saint-Ouan… … . hmm… … .”
“… … ?”
this now
Am I right?
“no way… … . no way.”
Lucinel also opened her mouth and began to tremble with her lips.
Sarkegar’s face was red.
“Anyway, I have feelings for the Grand Duke… … . Isn’t that what you have… … .”
It’s very out of the blue, very strange, actually meaningless, and it doesn’t affect the general trend.
“Oh my… … friend… … .”
A major accident occurred that seemed to go crazy.
No, it exploded.
But wait.
this.
isn’t it?
“grandee… … . What about the Grand Duke?”
Aren’t you a grand duke?
Then really.
I’m going to work!
big deal me!
What’s wrong with us!
What should I do!
“The Grand Duke… … . Of course I’m not that kind of person… … .”
I’ve had several near-death experiences so far.
However, this was the first time I really felt like I was dead and came back to life.
* * *
Sarkegar was lurking around in various forms to target the time when the Grand Duke was alone.
“I am not alone.”
“Because the Grand Duke is busy… … . If you think about it, yes.”
It is not that the construction is busy, but it is a person who has no choice but to be busy with the public.
Louise von Schwarz is also quite a busy person. But at the same time that he is the commander of the Archduke, he is also the general director of research.
Its actual size is incomparable to that of Kernstadt’s army, but the archduke probably won’t have time to rest properly.
So, it was a very difficult situation for me to make contact by aiming for time alone.
There was a reason Sarkegar returned empty-handed, unable to carry out my order to contact the Archduke.
But now, that’s not the point.
Sarkegar was uncharacteristically very flustered by this situation, and Lucinil was also listening to the story as if possessed.
“That is… … . It seems that the archduke often sleeps in the barracks for research, not in his own barracks. And there are other researchers in the barracks… … . Ms. Adelia is almost always there.”
The Titan is a war weapon created by combining the old golem technology of the Principality of Saint-Ouan and the genius of Adelia’s magic crafting.
In other words, the Archduke is the research director, and Adelia is the chief researcher.
Soon, there is no choice but to be between face to face always, every day, every hour.
still.
I’m still thinking of some possibilities.
Sarkegar’s misunderstanding or illusion.
It should be.
Must do this!
You’re dizzy!
“Somehow, if the Grand Duke skips a meal, Miss Adelia will take care of the meal, or cover the Grand Duke with a blanket when he falls asleep… … . It’s pretty… … .”
“Somehow it seems to have gone the opposite way… … .”
At Sarkegar’s explanation, Lucinil muttered with a confused expression.
That’s right.
I feel sorry for my daughter’s friend following along in the battlefield and developing war weapons, and my daughter looks superficial, so when I fall asleep in the lab all night, the grand duke covers me with a blanket… … .
It should be such a kind picture, but it’s the opposite!
“That, that’s it… … . Could it be something I can do?”
But honestly, isn’t it a very strange thing?
Cover me with some blankets, and if you feel too hungry, bring me some bread.
you can do it It’s not because Adelia has such a heart, it’s because she respects or feels sorry for the Grand Duke.
that… … .
But that.
It was pitiful and pitiful, so I kept caring about it, so I wanted to take care of this and that, so I took care of it. … .
that… … .
It’s a surprising possibility.
When I said that it was possible, Sarkegar gave a very troubled expression.
“It could be, but… … .”
“Yes, Adelia is the original personality. You know, there are people who can’t say harsh things and don’t seem to care but can’t leave people who are worried because they’re kind. I don’t know if she really did, but she’s kind of a kid. that’s right… … .”
“You think you are similar, but your personality is different from yours and you are right?”
“… … Head of household, I’m not in the mood to argue right now.”
“Oh, something like this. This is the kind of person who just picks out hateful words and lives frowning for no reason… … .”
“stop! Miss the silver-haired kid!”
“What? Are you a kid?”
“The silver-haired hag is out!”
“this!”
Sarkegar watched me and Lucinil scuffle with an adult expression.
I came with a really pathetic expression.
Anyway, let’s get back to the main topic.
“therefore… … . Are you sure you are there?”
There’s no proof!
If covering you with blankets and giving you food is what you like, the world will be filled with unexpected confessions!
“It’s not proof, but… … . I am certain.”
“With no evidence, how sure are you?”
“The eyes… … .”
At those words, I felt like I was out of breath.
Adelia’s gaze at the Archduke.
expression.
that… … .
It doesn’t seem like evidence at all, but in fact, there’s no evidence like that.
Rather, it doesn’t seem like proof at all, so it’s proof that I wonder if there is any other proof.
“Patience.”
So that’s it… … .
A slave graduate student who was kidnapped by the professor and lived in the lab began to see the professor as a man because he only looked at the professor… … .
* * *
The unimaginable cannot even squeeze into an accident.
The Grand Duke is a decent person. Therefore, the Grand Duke must have been someone she could never have imagined that Adelia might like him. So, no matter what Adelia thought, the Archduke wouldn’t even notice. It would be someone who didn’t even have that possibility in their head in the first place.
Sarkegar eventually returned to the Allies after a short report.
If I see the opportunity and contact the Archduke, I will deliver my message. The fact that Sarkegar found out after seeing an opportunity like that is actually not a big deal.
Adelia asked the grand duke what… … . It doesn’t matter if you have that kind of mind.
To begin with, the grand duke’s wife and children are all fine. Isn’t the missing daughter also doing well now?
It doesn’t affect the general trend, and in fact, strictly speaking, it’s not a big deal.
To be honest, what did it matter even if the Archduke and Adelia were filming such a bizarre and embarrassing adultery romance? The important thing is war, not romance.
I’d rather not know!
It’s a problem that I can’t solve even if I know about it, and it has nothing to do with the trend, but I think I’m going crazy for no reason!
“Have you decided when to go?”
“yet… … .”
“okay? Mr. Sarkegar, then why did you come earlier? Your expression looks strange, isn’t there something wrong?”
“It’s not like that… … .”
“And since I was trying to take you there earlier, they told me to call the head of the family. What did I do wrong to you?”
“No, no. you’re not wrong Nothing wrong.”
There’s nothing wrong with our paktong!
“Then who was at fault? What is it?”
“no! No one, no one, no one did anything wrong.”
So, is Adelia wrong?
no what
What do people like… … . It can’t be wrong… … .
It’s nothing to do with me!
“… … What is it? What do you think is going on?”
“No, nothing. no problem… … .”
Of course, Harriet was also aware, so she seemed to think there was something wrong.
Harriet asked me this and that with an innocent look on my face, and I felt the tip of my tongue go numb.
Harriet and Adelia met at the Temple and became friends with each other.
While Adelia was stunned by the news that she had developed Titan with the Archduke, she could be seen very pleased with her friend’s historic achievement.
Your dear friend has a crush on your dad… … .
How the hell do you talk like this!
* * *
A few crazy days passed.
The allied army departed from Gsonosia, and the Archduke, of course, had to have some time during the march.
A report from Sarkegar.
The contact with the Archduke was made safely, and the meeting point proposed by the Archduke was Arnaca, the capital of the Duchy of Saint-Ouan.
The White Palace, Arnaria.
Meeting in an Allied Garrison is risky. And the Archduke is a body that can move from place to place in the first place.
So it seemed that he wanted to meet in his own area.
“… … .”
In fact, it is right to be very nervous.
In fact, I don’t know what the Archduke thinks of me, and I have nothing to say if the Archduke is furious with me for literally wielding Herriot.
But, I noticed something strange.
The problem was that it became tense in a completely different way.
Anyway, what to do has been decided.
meet the archduke
and embrace
That’s all I have to do.
I don’t know what else.
I don’t know Harriet, and neither does the Archduke.
I don’t want to get more dizzy by saying useless things!
* * *
Arnaca, the capital of the Principality of Saint-Ouane.
I have been to Arnaka twice.
When I was at Temple, I came because of Adriana’s sudden drop out. Because her monastery, where Adriana grew up, was in the Principality of Saint-Ouane.
At that time, in order to get the priority to use the warp gate, he immediately knocked on the door of the duchy’s palace.
Come to think of it, I was pretty crazy.
At that time, I met all the grand duke’s family. Although the Archduke of Saint-Ouan had only been seen once before.
He said he thought me and Harriet were almost at the level of getting married.
The second came with Harriet after the Gates incident. I did not enter Arnaria, only Harriet.
And now the third.
The fortified magic turrets of Arnaria were intact.
People’s expressions were still dark. You would think that the Empire would retaliate when the war was over.
Would they rather consider it fortunate that the Duchy of Saint-Ouan was on the side of the Demon King, or would they say that they knew it too when they saw that the Grand Duke had really defected.
It is still unknown what decision the Archduke will make.
If the Grand Duke stands on my side, the public misunderstanding will eventually become true.
You won’t even be able to make excuses.
Since your daughter is a family that followed the devil, you will be criticized for having been in communication with the devil for a very long time. It’s not true, but it’s impossible to explain.
What would the Grand Duke think about the stigma becoming true?
It was Eleris, not Harriet, who brought me to Arnaca.
I didn’t want to come with Harriet for nothing. It’s the yard where I learned something absurd.
I walked through the deserted streets of Arnaka and headed to the huge palace in the center of Arnaka, the White Palace Arnaria.
A lofty palace that seemed to have been carved out of a huge mountain.
The palace was still beautiful.
Looking at the tall spiers of the palace, I thought of something.
As a child, Harriet had said that she used to climb that tall spire and look down on the street, watching the children play.
When I imagined the scene where Harriet as a child would have only watched the children playing from afar on that lonely spire, I’d say… … .
It’s very sad and I think it’s cute.
Thinking about this and that, I arrived at the square where I could see the entrance to Arnaria.
“Your Highness, be careful.”
“No big deal, but it should be.”
Naturally, I am the only one who enters. There was no need to bring someone along to make the Grand Duke nervous.
Ellerith gave a firm warning, as if to prepare for an emergency.
At the entrance of Arnaria, golems in human form were guarding the gate.
A golem in human form.
It’s similar to this, but I couldn’t help but feel creepy because I had no choice but to overlap the appearance of a golem made of real humans.
“Your business.”
“Tell me.”
Same question as when I first visited Arnaria.
“This is Reinhardt.”
All you need to enter is your name.
“This is a message from His Highness the Grand Duke.”
For the golems, it’s the same answer as back then.
“Come in.”
but.
“Demon King.”
I introduced him as Reinhardt, but do you call him the Demon King?
-That’s right
The gates of the great palace began to open, revealing lofty white stone steps leading up to Arnaria.
There was no need to go to the palace.
Halfway up the stairs leading to the palace.
The Archduke of Saint-Ouan was there looking down at me.
The archduke was holding a staff.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a cane that I use because my legs are uncomfortable.
Perhaps that is the armament of the Archduke.
The grand duke in a suit just looked down at me in silence.
Unlike wizards who usually wear wide robes.
The Grand Duke had a neat and aristocratic atmosphere to the extent that he could be said to be a model of an aristocratic wizard.
Honestly, I was scared.
Haven’t I come to a place where I shouldn’t be?
Wasn’t it right to just send Harriot?
Isn’t it just that I’m going to try everything, and I’m only paying the price?
“I… … . that’s it… … .”
Let’s go to the author’s position for now.
If you fight the Archduke, you’ll lose your real life!
I don’t have the confidence to handle it!
“May I go up… … ?”
To be honest, the grand duke I met during the Temple days only looked like an idiot with half a penny.
However, now that the war continues, the Grand Duke has returned to his true form.
A magician worthy of being called the world’s strongest.
Rafael de Saintoine.
The Archduke looked down at me and said.
“Come up.”
to be honest.
in several ways.
I was afraid of the Archduke.
