(aneria's point of view)
I am Aneria Klaus, I am the first daughter of the Dronagonist Kingdom. Although I am a princess, but I do not like the behavior as a princess who is restrained by many rules. to be honest, I would rather be sword-wielding, I think the one who holds the sword to protect his people is a person of real merit rather than being a royal family.It is not that I am dissatisfied with my current life, but I also want to live my own life without restraint as a royal family.
therefore I choose to enter the knight division.If a royal family wants to become a knight, then he will be stripped of his position as a royal family.that is the rule in this country, the law of the kingdom, after all, being a knight must be prepared to lose their lives at any time, which is why they must break away from the royal family.
even so, when I became a knight, the elders still wanted me to become a royal family.even though I knew their purpose, I still could not take a vote in this. the purpose of the royal family is to strengthen their influence on the people while in a time of war.if there is a royal family who leads knights to protect them, of course, the confidence of the people will increase, and the confidence of the people will increase, and the kingdom can manipulate public opinion easily while blocking outside opinions that can harm the royal family.
although it is cunning, but I will not reject such a plan, I pretend not to know such a thing.The scheming plan may instead be a plan that can protect the civilian population.The reason is easy, the, if outside opinions that cause people's dissatisfaction with the kingdom occur, it can create riots and the worst is rebellion.if an uprising occurs, so the victims of the kingdom and the civilian population cannot be avoided. This is the best way at this time.
I pondered while looking at the palace garden from the window.even though I am a knight, but right now I have to put on the clothes of a heavy princess and make me cramped. I saw a red sky in the distance and imagined a freedom.
"princess, your majesty is waiting"
a maid came and said behind my back, although usually the knight is looked down upon by the nobles, but in the hearts of ordinary people, like this servant, the knight is an honorable person.
Aneria: "well, I'll be there soon"
I turned around and left, the maid also followed behind me. While passing through a corridor, I saw many knights who were in a hurry and seemed to be busy. for a moment I was quite confused under these circumstances.Has the Astium Union attacked again?, but why haven't I gotten any notice of this yet?.
Aneria:"Is something happening?"
I asked the waiter who had been walking behind me ever since.although the waiter, they were getting information about knights even more often than the upper class. usually they get such information when they serve the military top brass and accidentally hear their conversation.
"as far as I know, this has to do with the demon gate city, but I don't know the details"
the demon gate city was a city located on the border between the Dronagon Kingdom and the forbidden ancient forest region.it was reported that in the ancient forest there were creatures that possessed immeasurable power. even one of them can overturn the kingdom.it has even been noted that disaster-type monsters once destroyed half of this country, while the next kingdom turned into a land of slaughter.Even in ancient records, even in ancient records, all ancient civilizations have been destroyed.In the ancient record there is also a variety of literature about the existence of the gods who have now left this world.
after hearing the information from the waiter, I immediately accelerated my steps towards the meeting place.Today was suddenly held a sudden meeting that was not usually done unless an emergency occurred. actually I wanted to present myself in knight attire, but I got the order to attend the meeting in the identity of a royal princess. I think this is the affirmation of the royal family in the eyes of the knights to gain the trust of them.
after arriving and entering the room, there were military officials and nobles.My father, the king sat on the throne with the prime minister standing beside him.
"because everything has gathered, so we better start the meeting right now"
prime minister Martias said the word out loud. Immediately, the entire room became silent.a young man dressed in fine clothes and a round hat stepped forward and began to speak.
"recently we are from the intelligence division, we have received the last report from the demon gate city lord about the monster attack"
"isn't that the usual thing?"
a bald noble expressed his opinion. indeed the demon gate city was the place most prone to monster attacks.It could be said, the demon gate city was the first fortress to protect the royal territory from the monster attacks from the ancient forest.
"that's true, but this time the conditions are different. All the troops in the city can't survive at all. I have the magic footage here".
representatives of the intelligence division took out a black disk with various ancient letters unknown on it. The device was an important discovery from the ruins of an ancient civilization. even though it was just an imperfect duplicate, it could still be used as a sending and receiving tool. Witches throughout the kingdom had already attempted to create the item, but so far, it had been, they could only create no more than a dozen half-finished duplicates like that fellow had brought.
the representative of the intelligence division put the disk on the table and put mana into it, all the ancient letters lit up with yellow light and conveyed a message.
"i am the city lord of the demon gate city, we need immediate assistance.the entire army is almost annihilated by monsters. The estimated strength of monsters is a class of disaster.we_ah. aaaa' (cracks)"
a panicked and frightened voice came out from the disc. The message was ended with a cry of fear and a crumbling voice.it signified that the communication disk belonging to the city lord had been destroyed.heard the message, the message was, the whole room was silent...
disaster class, the same class as the one that almost destroyed the surrounding kingdoms and countries.I noticed that everyone's expressions became serious and had cold sweat on their foreheads.
"we must immediately ask for help from other countries and defeat the monster.if it continues to be left, not only our country will be destroyed, but also various countries around. I'm sure they'll send reinforcements"
a man who might be thirty years old or older, stood up and said out loud.A few of the military higher-ups shook their heads upon hearing the advice from the man.
"it's possible that they will send help, but are you sure that they won't draw the sword towards our backs!?"
"that's right, aren't you aware of the tension and competition of every country right now!?"
discussions continued and various suggestions continued to be made, but we still have not found a good way to overcome this problem.whatever the advice is submitted, all have their own shortcomings.
"everything is calm.how is my daughter, do you have an idea?"
the king stopped the debate and asked about my opinion.Honestly I also could not find the right solution to this problem.whatever the solution I thought, I felt that all the solutions were not right.
Aneria: "maybe we should send a small-scale investigation force first to ascertain the condition"
"but it was extremely risky.if indeed it was a disaster-class monster, it could annihilate an entire army quickly"
a top military official immediately rejected the idea I gave. Of course I did not blame him, because what he said was completely true.
Aneria: "I understand what you mean, Marshal Luik, but we have to do it. If the troops we send are annihilated, the troops from other countries will realize how dangerous this problem is. I'm sure they'll send in troops to help eliminate that threat".
Luik:"so you mean, we're sending troops as sacrifices?"
Luik:"I understand"
Aneria:"yes, although we will indeed sacrifice knights, but our losses will be minimized. This loss is not something that can be compared if the monster starts to move and destroy this country.after all, this loss is not something that can be compared to the monster that began to move and destroy this country, I will lead the army myself"
"WHAT..!!!"
a shocked voice echoed throughout the room.My decision received many rejections from various parties, but I could not possibly stand by while the kingdom was in crisis. I kept trying to convince everyone of the decision I made until after a long debate, they agreed to my decision.
Raja: "good if it's your decision. immediately prepare everything you need".
Aneria:"well I understand"
I immediately stood up and left the room. This kind of problem could not be delayed anymore, I had to quickly prepare everything.I immediately changed my clothes into knight armor and went to the training field. there were already lined up thousands of knights from the first division, the division I led. I advanced and stood on the high platform provided.
Aneria: "this time I will convey something to you. We get a mission to become a vanguard army.we will face a disaster-class monster"
"what!?"
"is that not suicide!"
many bewildered exclamations from the knights below me. Yes, this is a suicide mission, so I won't be angry at their opinion.
Aneria:"yes, you are right. This is a suicide mission, so I will not force those who will not follow me to the battlefield.even if this is a suicide mission, I will not force them to follow me, but we will sacrifice to protect the future of this country, we will become fallen leaves and become fertilizer for the next leaves.Our sacrifice this time, is a sacrifice for the whole country, no, no, the whole world, so who is willing to follow me, you can still stand on the field after five minutes, while those who do not want to follow me, they can leave this place"
finished saying that, I descended from the platform and left the place.As I went and passed through a corridor, I saw the father standing by the window while looking at the sky in the distance.
"are you sure of your decision?"
Aneria:"yes, Your Majesty, I'm fully convinced"
after I answered that, the atmosphere became silent.then I heard my father exhale heavily.Slowly father turned and walked towards me.Suddenly father gave me a hug that I never expected.
"pardon me for not being able to do anything to help you. I'm sure this is impossible, but please come back safely"
Aneria:"Y, Your Majesty?"
"this time I'm your father, don't call me your majesty!"
Aneria:"A, Dad"
I felt my nose go sour. I wanted to cry, but I held back the tears that were about to fall.
Aneria:"sorry father, but this seems impossible"
father let go of his embrace and looked at me with a smile, but his smile contained sadness and self-deprecation.
"yes, I know. forgive dad"
father immediately turned around and left me alone in the hallway.I noticed my father's back getting further away from me. I looked up to prevent tears from spilling over my cheeks. soon I will have to meet my knight, how can I cry like a little girl.
after calming down all my chaotic feelings, I returned to the training ground.on the large field it was still occupied by the soldiers, but, I saw that all the knights were still standing in their ranks without anyone leaving.
Aneria:"what are you doing!?, I am not forcing you to come along, you can leave this place if you do not participate"
"we are all willing to follow the 'princess' to go to the battlefield"
the simultaneous shouts came from the knights and made the ground rumble.I did not expect that they would follow me on this suicide mission.I was deeply moved by this.
Aneria: "thank you for your availability. I really appreciate the courage you have shown, but. I can only bring a few people, because we will go on one warship"
finally because everyone wanted to come along, I could only choose a few to go. After all the places on the warship were limited, at least I could only bring 60-100 people.
after all the preparations and personnel have been selected, we all immediately headed to the flight runway.there has been provided a new warship ship without further ado, without further ado, I immediately led them to board the battleship.the journey from here to the demon gate city required two yellow lights, so I didn't want to waste more time.
after everything was done, the airship flew straight into the air.I looked down, precisely at a window.there I could see the shadow of the father and mother who were crying.
good-bye-bye...
