The Palace of the Heedata Empire. In the audience hall, the emperor, Heedata Sure Heat, wore a stern expression on his face. This kind of expression is very rare for the mild-mannered and benevolent man. His brother, the Duke of Weiras, stands in front of him with a pale expression on his face.

"When did this happen?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha. ....... According to the news, about five days ago.

This is a very serious matter for the empire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. ....... I'm afraid this could be the downfall of your empire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We can't just stand by and watch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. If you could please take immediate action.

Okay.

"Your Majesty..."

What is it?

"I have sent word of this to my brother-in-law in Agartha as well. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that's not necessary. I think we are enough for this occasion.

"Thank you, sir."

Weiras bowed reverently and turned around quickly. There was a man and a woman kneeling on one knee in awe. They bowed deeply to the emperor as if they were following his example.

A few flurries of powdery snow began to fall on the city of Agartha. I gazed idly out the window of my office and looked back over the years to come.

The year is almost over. This year has been somewhat hectic. Thanks to that, I couldn't have a birthday party. How old am I?　27 years old or ....... I guess I've been so busy with so many things that my age doesn't even come up right away. I hope to take it a little easier next year. .......

While I was thinking about that, there was a knock at the door. I asked them to come in, and to my surprise, Kunogen and Riko came in with them.

"Rico......?　What?　What's wrong?　Knogen?　What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I haven't done anything wrong, but for some reason, the sight of Rico makes me nervous. No, I'm not scared of Rico. It's not because I'm afraid of getting angry. I mean, I don't ...... remember doing anything to make you angry. The only thing I can think of is eating a cake that I told Eryl and Alyria and the others not to tell my mom about. No way, did they find out about it?　I ate it outside of snack time. ....... No, I don't think Eril and the others will tell their secret. No, wait a minute.　Could it be that Sidie found out?　And when questioned, he confessed. Hmm?　That wouldn't explain why Knogen is here. Let's see, ...... what!

"You've been looking around a lot, are you all right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Knogen has a worried look on his face. I come to my senses, cough, and take a seat. ...... Rico, don't look at me like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry to take up so much of your time during your busy political schedule. I need to discuss something with you. I wanted to hear Knogen's opinion, so I asked him to join us."

"Consultation?　What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The Kingdom of Burial has moved its army.

"The Kingdom of Burial?"

Rico turns his attention to Knogen. In response, he spreads a piece of paper in his hand on the desk and points to the location of Burial.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just a month ago, leaving King's Landing, the forces of Burial crossed the sea and attacked Durga in the neighboring Warlov Empire. And they are still occupying it today."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is ....... You've got your eye on the right place. If we seize this place, the country can head east whenever it wants. Depending on how we do it, we could raid Heedata. Besides, it would make a good fortress in case of an invasion from the south.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right, Mr. Linos. I think you are right. This is the largest port in the Warlov Empire. If they seize this port, they will not be able to trade as widely as before, and in a sense, the empire will have a blade at its throat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why are the two countries fighting?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's what I don't understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah?　What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Burial side says that their soldiers were killed by soldiers of the Warlov Empire. That's why they attacked us. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then why don't you just punish the guilty soldiers and be done with it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, but ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I guess any reason to start a fight is a good reason, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Knogen smiles bitterly at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is what I meant when I said I would consult with Rinos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, what do you mean by consulting? What does this have to do with us?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The Warlov Empire, which was attacked, is related to the Heedata Empire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Am I right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The daughter of the emperor of the Warlov Empire is married to Vyrus.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. She's quite beautiful, isn't she?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Liko nodded slowly. I have met her twice in Miyagi, and I have an image of her as a quiet and elegant person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Warlov Empire has made several attempts to recapture Dorga, but they have all failed. They have also asked Heedata for reinforcements, which have also failed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can't you organize a coalition army and still win?" ....... How many troops do you have?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Warlov, the Heedat Alliance has 50,000 troops, while the Burial Army has 10,000."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. That's a lot of troops to have ....... I hate to say this, but either the commanders of Warlov and Heedata are so clumsy, or the commanders on the Burial side are so commanding that they are capable of command.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Probably both."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Knogen scratches his cheek and smiles bitterly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know the commander of the Warlov side, but the commander of the Heedata side is General Lyssen."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lyssen?"

"When we were in a standoff on the Irbezi River during the battle with Lamaron's army: ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, that old man. I think he succeeded Lafayence as commander of the Northern Army. Is he still here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I have been treated as an active military officer for the rest of my life. Unless he says he's quitting, he'll basically stay that way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But what's the point of being a commander if you can't win battles?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Kunogen then looks at Rico with a reserved look.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I mean, my brother has asked me privately for reinforcements," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What brings you to Rico?　Why don't you just tell me directly?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Linos is the king of Agartha. If you ask Rinos directly, it will be a discussion between countries. He does not wish to reveal this, which is why he has sent me a letter through Queen Townsend."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rico then hands me the letter. It contained an update on Arrows, the Crown Prince, and said that he was looking forward to meeting his bride, Eryl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hm?　I can't tell from this whether or not they are asking us for reinforcements."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rico looked a little puzzled at my words, but then he turned his eyes straight ahead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm telling you this because this is ...... Linos, but actually it's a code.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A code?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"When the royal families of the Heedata Empire exchange letters with each other, depending on the contents, they may have different meanings. This letter is a request for reinforcements.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Liko's words were followed by Knogen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Although the situation is ostensibly a stalemate, it appears that the Allied forces have suffered heavy losses and have retreated."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, they asked for reinforcements from the Agartha army?　I don't understand why you have to go through all this trouble if you're just going to ask for reinforcements in a roundabout way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"He must be in a great hurry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let me guess, the outnumbered Allied forces went into battle believing that they could surely win. But they lost. Neither Warlov nor Heedata could stand the thought of staying in the key position of Durga. We want to retake this land as soon as possible, but we cannot afford to fail twice. ....... Both countries, however, have their own interests at heart. That's why they are making this roundabout way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wonder what it is."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Linos ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, Rico?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You must meet my brother once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I guess so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is my hunch. ....... I think you're doing this because you have something on your mind. I'm sure he wants to see Linos in private."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. If Rico says so. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look out the window again. The snow was getting heavier. .......
