The Wicked Troops

 

“The Dranta castle has fallen.”

 

An emergency meeting was conducted at the Endaria royal palace.

 

“According to the information gathered by Princess Mianna’s spy, apparently they were using a large herd of monsters. If that is the case, we can understand why the speed of their invasion is quite fast. Then, Garnelda is most likely targeting Endaria.”

Reiselt spread out the map.

 

“If the monster troops were to come raiding using this shortest route, then the remaining time is three days. We have to arrange the preparations for the attack in three days.”

“I have already contacted Margrave Griosta of Illkia through the fast horse. Illkia’s anti-monster troops will surely become a great strength.”

The Prime Minister said.

 

“Us the chivalric order will be departing to the front. I will take up the command, while the commando unit, his Highness Reidrick will lead a small number of elite forces separately. Both will bring the blessed silver weapons to prepare for the war against the monsters.”

The one speaking was the chivalric order’s leader. He is a good man who’s always being led around by the nose by Reidrick, but he’s a powerful person who’s reliable in emergencies. The chivalric order has been training against monsters regularly, so they will become the main force in this battle.

“I will be leading the regular troops.”

First Prince Shuudel said.

He is a perverted prince in front of Mianna, but that is limited to only in front of Mianna, as the prince is a charismatic person who’s surprisingly good at leading a large number of people.”

 

“As for the troops formation…”

“May I have a minute?”

An adorable voice that didn’t match this place at all said.

It was Mianna.

She was not supposed to be here in this place, but she insisted that she had the right to participate as she was the official [Garnelda Country Analysis Member]. She was also the first person to be present in the meeting room that was decided confidentially, with a composed face.

 

“What is it, Princess?”

‘Why is she here, in this damned busy period?’ was written all over the chivalric order leader’s expression.

 

“Here is the list of the monsters involved in the Garnelda’s monster troops.”

Mianna showed a piece of paper.

“It’s an information that I obtained through my personal route.”

 

The king whispered, “Prime Minister, just how big is the scope of that child’s spy corps?”, but the Prime Minister answered with a faraway look, “I also don’t understand it.”

 

“According to this, monsters such as the ghost wyverns, chimeras, and gargoyles are seen. As expected, it seems that they do not have the power to control living dragons, but I think they are being led by quite a powerful practitioner.”

“Then, what of it?”

The chivalric order leader asked, he was clearly sullen.

 

“All of them are monsters who possess wings. Most likely the enemies will attack from the sky first. It means we will need to take an anti-aircraft measures, in other words, a platoon that brings archers to the front.”

“Show me.”

The chivalric order took Mianna’s paper with his brows furrowed.

 

“…I see! If we didn’t anticipate an attack from the sky, it would turn into something terrible…”

His head was stirred up.

 

“Which means, we will need archers. Then, we’d want to have a large quantity of silver arrows…It’s most likely that the blessed silver arrows will be the most effective weapons against the ghost troops. Your Highness Shuudel, I’d like to select the archers who will be going for the war, in order to form the anti-aircraft troops. How many can we prepare if we were to hurry and start making silver arrows from now on?”

The blessed silver arrows take quite a long time to create because they are created through a complicated procedure unlike that of normal weapons, and they also require the temple’s shrine maidens’ prayers in the end.

 

“Three days, huh? It’s tough. I wonder how many spare arrows the chivalric order possesses…”

“Sir, Leader.”

Reidrick called out the chivalric order leader who was thinking.

 

 

“There’s no need to worry about the silver arrows.”

“What did you say?”

“You see, uhm, there were circumstances, so I have quite a large quantity of silver arrows.”

“Circumstances? Explain it in a way that we can understand!”

“Yosh, listen well! My cute cute fiancée Sara is more pleased when I gave her silver arrows rather than jewels and clothes, and every day, she seemed so happy when shooting with an adorable smile plastered on her face! That’s why, in order to make her happy, I requested various types of silver arrows to be made, and the people who I requested to make the arrows were all extremely eager in the research, and before I even noticed it, I’ve accumulated more arrows than what’s required to be shot! Now, do you understand?!”

 

Yes, both the craftsman who created the silver arrows and the temple’s shrine maidens who blessed the arrows—especially the shrine maidens—they were spellbound by Sara’s gallant figure and were infatuated by her, and [Princess Sara’s Silver Arrows-Making Party] was formed. On top of it, the source of the funds was Reidrick who didn’t care how much the expense would be, so every day, a large quantity of silver arrows that were greatly blessed by the shrine maidens were produced.

 

“Wha…”

“Hahahahaha, there you have it, Leader!”

“No, that, …I’m amazed…”

“What a splendid timing! Sara is certainly a maiden who’s blessed and loved by the gods!”

 

Reidrick shouted triumphantly.

There was a subtle air flowing inside the room, as if saying, “Yes yes, that is right.”

 

 

 

With this and that, the preparation for the war was steadily carried forward. A day before the battle, the anti-monster troops led by Sara’s father from Illkia arrived.

“Father!”

Sara hugged her father whom she hadn’t seen for a while.

 

“Sara! Have you been well?”

“Yes. Fortunately, I am very well.”

“To think that your wedding has been decided, I was so surprised.”

The father said to his cherished daughter.

 

“I have only met him once, but his Highness Prince Reidrick seemed to be thinking about you quite well, don’t you think?”

“Yeah. He is someone who has many rumors around, but Rei is a kind person.”

Sara said while blushing, just exactly like a maiden in love.

 

“That…He seems to be popular with women…”

“He said that he won’t allow other women to get close to him if we were to get married, and his behavior has been really steadfast, you see?”

“I see, if that’s the case, then I’m relieved. Well, if he’s a man who’ll make you cry, I won’t let him go even if he’s a royalty, hahahahaha.”

The margrave laughed with such intensity that could make Reidrick cower with fright if he were to hear.

 

 

 

And then, the night before welcoming the attack.

Sara visited Reidrick’s room.

 

“Rei…”

Reidrick hugged Sara right after he opened the door, carrying her to the bed. He let her sit on his lap while still hugging her.

 

“Sara, do you want to join the war no matter what?”

“Yeah. I want to protect the country too. As Sara Griosta from Illkia, I’d like to do what I can.”

 

As a member of the Illkia anti-monster troops, she would join in the forces.

Reidrick tried to stop her at first. He wanted to keep Sara at a safe place.

However, this war is considered a tough one for Endaria. It is still difficult to gain victory despite exerting all the possible forces and despite fighting with all they have.

Right, in other words…

It is a hopeless battle.

 

“I’m used to battle the monsters. Don’t you know my ability?”

“Yeah. Still, even so, I wanted you to remain behind…”

“I don’t want to just watch when you’re fighting.”

“You’re really a tomboy princess. However, that part of you is also adorable that I can’t help it.”

After saying that, Reidrick kissed Sara.

“Hey, Rei. I…I want to take everything tonight.”

Sara said with a small voice, yet it was clear to Reidrick.

 

“Make me your wife…”

“Sara.”

Make Sara become Reidrick’s wife.

She doesn’t know what will happen in the war, so she wants to be tied together right now.

 

Reidrick’s heart trembled.

He wants Sara. He wants her everything.

He wishes it from the very bottom of his heart.

However.

 

“…It’s alright, Sara. Let’s end the war first, then we can be tied together after it. I don’t want you to overdo it.”

“But! Hey, Rei, I’m not overdoing it, you see? I…I love you.”

She clung to Reidrick.

 

She loved me…she said?

Sara, to me?

Reidrick felt an immense joy, so much that his chest tightened.

 

“Sara…I feel enough with your words alone. I love you.”

“Rei, please, make me yours.”

 

He hugged his beloved’s hot body as he felt blood rushing up to his head.

It would be easy for him to embrace Sara here and make her his.

However.

 

(In the unlikely event that Sara were to fall to the enemy’s hands…if there’s a probability that she were pregnant with Endaria royal family’s child, her life would be taken away.)

Reidrick mustered up all of his logic.

 

“Sara, that can’t do.”

“Please, Reidrick! I…”

“Aah, Sara! Sara! I only want to protect you, even if that means I should give up on my life…Remember this, no matter what happens, I love you…”

“Rei…I also love you…really…”

 

Sara clung to Reidrick so strongly until her fingers dug into Reidrick.

“That’s why, you absolutely can’t leave me. I won’t forgive you if you were to leave me.”

That night, Reidrick and Sara slept while hugging each other tightly.
