47 - 046 Crossing キリKirik's point of view]






"Cologne front⁉ Where is it? Let's see what information you have!"



 In the Kingdom of Athralita, Princess Kilik's angry voice still echoes in the mansion today.

 The princess resides in a large mansion far from the castle. No one greater than Kilik ever comes here.



"This way. This is one of the areas where the Imperial Guard is having the most trouble. ......"

"Struggling ......? I see, I guess there are people in the empire who know what Liit is capable of."



 When Princess Kilik said these words, the people around her could only be dumbfounded.

 For the Imperial Army, this land is now an irredeemable deathtrap. Sending new recruits there is tantamount to de facto execution.

 The servants of the princess can sense the will of those who serve her to scatter her on the battlefield before she can cause any trouble with her suspected ties to the kingdom.



"So why haven't they returned any of my letters? He's the kind of guy who would do something like that without a second thought, no matter how busy he is, wouldn't he?



 Kilik's mind was filled with a sense of relief when he found out where Riito was.

 His dog was just playing a little far away. He is on a leash, so he can be brought back anytime.

 I was observing the movements with such a mindset.



"I thought that if I were to go to the war zone, my means of communication would be limited. ......

"I'm sure he can handle that much! They won't come because you guys are slacking off!"

"Excuse me, sir. ......."



 The squires would have been better off if they had not found Lyto and had died somewhere.

 The princess had been quiet for a while after Lyto's disappearance, but when she heard the report of his discovery, she became furious and several of her followers were forced to leave their jobs.

 I'm here, scared of what tomorrow may bring.



"It's completely useless ......, and I need Lilit to come back soon ......."



 The squires, who were finally losing their grip on the princess's wildness, hoped.

 Something to break the deadlock.

 But each squire knew well that it was always Lyto, who was not here at the moment, who had brought it about.



"I want you to come back soon.



 It could be said that the hearts of the princess and her followers were united on this one point.
