"Give one of you who can be trusted to spread fake news to the twelve princes."
The leader of the army was shocked when he heard the first prince Helcia mention the twelve princes.
"The fire will spread faster and burn this place, you will not die in vain!" shouted Edrik.
"We will do it, but you must swear in the name of the god of light not to betray Irliv's army!"
Without discussion on all the troops, the leader of the Irliv army knew the minds of all his men who did not want to die in this place.
All Irliv's troops were relieved by their leader's decision.
Edrik is glad his tactics worked, he has to overhaul all his old plans and bet what punishment will await his sister's fiancee.
One of Edrik's colleagues who was standing at the back, asked in an astonished tone. "Well, why would they just believe in the enemy?"
Edict explained. "Because they just want to find their own salvation."
"Yes?"
"The naive people who fought because they were influenced by someone's sweet words, the twelfth prince of Irliv." Edrik smiled when he saw the representative of Irliv coming out of the gate and leaving with the army of Edrik in disguise. "True, four wasted years."
At least I should thank that woman.
While Daniela who was drinking tea with the empress, suddenly goosebumps.
------------
The twelfth prince was stunned by the surprise attack from Helcia. "Didn't Helcia lose? Why are they here?"
"Prince, save yourself!" Shouted one of the twelfth prince's bodyguards attacking one of Helcia's knights.
The loud, deafening sound of the sword friction, the screams of the troops were heard clearly, between the pain and stirring up the spirit, so one.
The twelfth prince retreated and was about to flee. "Basic, useless!"
Edrik blocked the twelfth prince's sight even faster. "I don't think it could be this easy to defeat Irliv's army."
The twelfth prince who was shocked for a moment, gave a peck of annoyance. "You-just because you were born in an empire, can act arrogant!"
Edrik had already heard the past history of the Irliv princes, born of a king who liked to play women and sow seeds to various female nobles. The lowest was the twelfth prince, his mother whose baron family was the queen's unwelcome servant, the woman persisted because she still needed the queen as a pawn.
And it turns out that the queen had to face the harsh reality, the most useless woman managed to climb the king's bed who only had an affair with the ladies of the high nobility of Irliv.
The twelfth prince was made a royal disgrace.
"If you were born useless, at least make yourself useful." Edrik commented while pointing the sword at the twelfth prince.
The twelfth prince smirked then suddenly vomited blood. "DAMN HELCIA!" his yell. "KILL THE DAMNED PRINCE WHO KILLED OUR FRIENDS!"
The editor shouted back. "IF IRLIV'S FORCES DON'T SURRENDER! I'LL MAKE SURE TO BURN DOWN THE IRLIV STATE!"
Irliv's troops who saw it, stopped immediately. Helcia's men did the same.
Irliv's troops who saw the twelfth prince vomit blood and kneel on the ground, fell silent.
The twelfth prince looked at his troops inside the tent while holding a chest, picked up a sword near his troops and swung at Edrik.
Edrik stepped back to dodge, accidentally hitting the second prince's sword on his left wrist that was not protected by armor.
The impatient edrik, kicking the belly of the twelfth prince who was swinging the sword in any direction with a limp body.
The twelfth prince lapsed backwards and did not move.
Irliv's troops threw weapons on the ground and surrendered.
"The twelfth prince is dead?" ask one of Irliv's men.
Edrik put his sword into the sheath. "Take him to the witch, take out the poison! Catch Irliv's army that surrendered and then we break down the front gate!"
Helcia's troops shouted in spirit.
One of Edrik's followers secretly pulled Edrik to treat his injured wrist.
"I'll make sure there's no poison in it, you don't be careless, first prince. Helcia still needs you."
"Lho?"
"What's wrong?"
Edrik's followers opened a cloth wrapped around Edrik's wrist. "Since when have you been hurt here?"
Edrik now saw two wounds on his hand. "What's this?"
"Are you not aware of being hurt?"
"Yes, I always wear armor. It makes no sense to get hurt in a place covered in armor."
"I checked the wound first."
Edrik stared at his followers confusedly. "Hey, is this the curse of Irliv?"
"Don't believe the joke, first prince." Admonish followers of Edrik.
Edrik was silent and then yawned.
"Ouch!"
The empress who had been reading earlier, raised her head in worry. "What's wrong?"
Daniela looked at the left wrist which suddenly appeared a wound.
"Gosh, lady. Why hurt again? Is the doctor finished?" ask one of the servants. "I'll call the doctor."
Daniela injured her left wrist to threaten the emperor, away from the veins. Now came a new wound that appeared out of nowhere.
The doctor hurriedly came and examined Daniela's wounds. "Lady, did you unknowingly do something? New wounds appear."
Daniela shakes. "I don't remember."
The empress frowned not understanding. "Daniela was always next to me, when did she get hurt?"
All the servants shook their heads together when glimpsed sharply by the empress.
Daniela chuckled to melt the atmosphere. "It's okay, maybe I'm being too careless."
The servants stared brightly at Daniela.
Doctors immediately treated Daniela's wrist, while the dreamy treated did not understand.
"Empress! The envoy of the crown prince sent a message through the communication of magic!"
The empress' face turned anxious. "What's wrong? Did something happen to the first prince?"
"The first prince won, there were no casualties from Helcia, only-"
The queen became anxious. "Just?"
"He was injured on his left wrist because of the actions of prince Irliv who was crazy for losing."
Daniela looked at her injured wrist and suddenly appeared.
"Other than that, there's nothing else." The empress' servant told her happily and then looked at Daniela. "It's thanks to the lady, giving valuable information to the first prince."
The empress sighed then got up from the chair and hugged Daniela tightly, almost crying. "Thank you, thank you."
Daniela felt awkward, no one hugged her like this. "Sir, this has become my duty."
"No, it's thanks to you. If anything happens to my son - I don't know how to deal with it. Now my light for survival is twofold. You and my son."
"Sir, this is too much." Daniela was uncomfortable.
"Lady, you'd better take the empress' warmth. Didn't the queen already consider the lady a child? Does the lady not regard the empress as a mother?"
Daniela wanted to answer no but was held back, as soon as she began to feel the warmth of the empress.
Daniela returned the empress' embrace. "Yes, thank you for loving me, Queen."
