[Norland Royal Palace]
Inside the royal palace, Rachel was very sad to see Leon walking out of the palace.
"Patience Rachel. He'll definitely be back." King Charles said as he approached Rachel.
"Well, I'm worried about him." Rachel said.
"Dad knows Rachel, you're like your mother, always worried and scared when she lives by her partner." Said King Charles.
"But I'm not as pretty as Mom." Rachel said.
"Heee.? Your mother is so beautiful Rachel, but you're prettier than her. And you've grown up laughing now, is there someone else you love." Said King Charles.
"I hope he returns safely." Rachel said agitatedly.
"What's in your ring is Rachel.?" Ask King Charles.
"In there was some food and clothing. Then the survival gear, I prepared it when I went to father's palace. I didn't expect to give Leon the ring, but he chose to leave." Answer Rachel.
"You know what he needs, the equipment must be very useful for him." Said King Charles.
...
Outside the Palace. Leon was walking towards the military headquarters in the palace.
"Ah, you've come Leon." Said Klain who prepared some supplies for Leon in his room.
"What have you done Klain.?" Ask Leon.
"This is Leon's war gear. I didn't know how many days you'd be back here, so I prepared your supplies for a few months." Answer Klain.
"Eeeh, but I saw a horse out there, and I couldn't ride a horse. And the wagon bothered me so much to fight." Said Leon.
"Heee.? Then, what about this equipment.?" Ask Klain.
"Ah, I can keep it in this ring." Answer Leon.
"What is Leon.?" Ask the curious Klain.
"It's a ring Rachel made, she's made dimensional space inside. It's very useful Klain, I'll keep the war supplies in this ring." Answer Leon.
"Hoo, I just found out there's something like this." Klain.
"I'm very surprised myself, he's really very genius at being able to create this kind of thing." Leon said as he absorbed his supplies inside the ring.
"Ah, this is so amazing." Klain said as he watched Leon absorb the supplies into the ring.
"But this ring has Klain's weakness." Said Leon.
"Eeeh.? What's that.?" Ask Klain.
"If this ring is lost, it will all be lost. I can also make dimensional space without having to be an intermediary of an object." Answer Leon.
"What do you mean.?" Klain asked curiously.
"Have you seen my sword since you met me.?" Ask Leon back.
"I didn't see it. Didn't you keep it.?" Ask Klain.
"I kept it in my desk." Said Leon.
WOOEEESSH. The sound of wind that formed a small portal in front of Leon. And a sword came out of the portal.
"Look, I'm keeping it here." Said Leon.
"Eye, uh." Klain's voice was very surprised.
"Hem, next time I'll teach you about this." Leon said with a smile.
"Leon, if you can create your own dimensional space, why did you receive the ring from the Princess.?" Ask Klain.
"The older you get, the more stupid Klain is. Of course because of the contents inside this ring." Answer Leon.
"Eeeh.? Hhehe. You're right Leon." Klain
"I couldn't refuse her gift either, she was very worried about me. It makes me sad." Said Leon.
"Hurry back Leon. Then, this is the map of the kingdom that Magis has strengthened." Klain said while giving the map to Leon.
"Eem.? It's more different than any other map." Leon said as he looked at the map.
"Is this Klain.?" Leon asked as he pointed towards that point.
"Ah, that's my point. You can put a little magic on this map, and this point will follow you wherever you are." Answer Klain.
"All right." Leon said while giving Magical energy to the map. Then, the dots turn white.
"What's like this.?" Ask Leon.
"Ah, this has become your point. Now, I'll explain where you should attack." Klain said seriously.
Klain also explained all the points that were considered where the enemy was. And a place to be mastered.
"Is it clear Leon.?" Ask Klain.
"Ah, this is clear. But, will this be to your liking.?" Ask Leon back.
"What do you mean.? It's the only way Leon's." Klain answered seriously.
"I was just thinking about something. All plans don't usually fit into what's on the field." Said Leon.
"Heem.? Do you hesitate to do it.?" ask Klain.
"No Klain. I'm asking you. After I attack all of them, what are you going to do.?" Ask Leon.
"Em, it's obvious the soldiers will go there and protect the place." Answer Klain.
"If so, are the enemies unsuspecting.? With me coming there, and killing all of them, it raised suspicions on the enemy's side. Have you guys thought about that yet.? Don't think the enemy is stupid Klain. This is what made me doubt from the beginning." Said Leon.
"Hee.? I also thought of it Leon.?" Klain said in surprise.
"Then you tell me, if Neverley is an alliance of Norland and Forlsa. It's very ambiguous for me, it's clear that Neverley won't side with anyone. They will remain silent in their kingdom and keep the cooperation between the two kingdoms going, rather than choosing one of these kingdoms." Leon said seriously.
"Gleggs. Leon, you." Klain said dumbfoundedly while looking at Leon.
"Hem, have you guys thought about this.?" Ask Leon.
"That's a long way to go for us to think about Leon." Answer Klain.
"Heeh.(sighs). All of you are very panicked by the great war, even the small villages are affected by it." Said Leon.
"Then, what should we do Leon.?" Ask Klain who is panicking.
"I will still go there, of course I will negotiate with them first, and ask for their reasons for this military aggression. That's what your king doesn't do." Answer Leon.
"EEh.? Is that what Leon can do.?" Ask Klain.
"Hem, you all make me dizzy. Do you know why the Forlsa kingdom attacked the north.?" Ask Leon back.
"That, we don't know Leon, all we know is that they've invaded the kingdom's territory. And we don't know what to do." Answer Klain.
"You've been fooled by them Klain. And they can attack as freely as they want. Then you just sit here and count on me. Not even your King sent a diplomat to ask Forlsa." Said Leon.
"Emmm. Leon, we just want to take back the territory they've already taken." Klain.
"You know Klain, all the duties are assigned to me. I became a citizen, a soldier, a diplomat, and a King. Do you know that.? Not all problems can be solved only with the power of Klain." Leon said seriously.
"Then what should we do Leon.?" Ask Klain.
"Of course keep your plans, even if I slaughter all the Forlsa soldiers there, but a great war will still happen. You should know it's Klain, you better get your troops ready." Answer Leon.
"So, do you still want to go.?" Ask Klain.
"I already know what will happen next, only that I am not brave enough to speak before your King. And my real reason is to avenge everyone who has been killed by Forlsa." Answer Leon.
"Hee.? So that's your excuse.?" Klain asked in surprise.
"I also don't want them to move here and destroy the capital. All right, Klain, I don't have time here." Said Leon.
"Leon, wait. Tell me, which kingdom has the potential to invade the kingdom of Norland after this.?" Ask Klain.
"Aldebaren and Forlsa. For the other alliance kingdoms I don't know, which is clear Nerverley won't attack, and Luminos won't come." Leon said as he marched out of the military headquarters.
"Eeh, that's it." Klain said dumbfoundedly as he watched Leon walk out.
"Not only is he strong, he also thinks about all the affairs of the kingdom's diplomacy. He really is like a king." Klain said in his heart.
