Louisa and Light moved very quickly. In just a matter of minutes they had arrived at the border wall construction site.
The situation there was still tense, even though there was no more commotion. The workers seemed to be tidying up some of the chaos.
The head of the city was talking to Deep and Shadow but stopped when he saw the arrival of Louisa and Light.
"Chairman..."
"Mr Princess.."
"How is he doing ?"
"The troublemaker's been arrested. But according to the information from senior Shine earlier, there should have been some people who escaped or did not come"
"How many people do you think?" ask Light.
"Maybe five or six people"
"It's been taken by the city guards to the town hall "
"Can't you?" asked the city chief confused
"We met in the city, and were suspicious of them" Light said and told him everything.
"If so, later after returning we will interrogate the Chairman"
"Oh yeah...I haven't seen Shine and Marco. Where are they?" ask Louisa
"According to a message from the senior, they searched for the whereabouts of Pine and the woman's residence. Because it turns out they don't live in the village that the head of the city says "
"meaning?"
"Only the men they recruited lived in the village. While the two of them do not live there. And according to senior again, not the woman was the only member of the special forces of the Cloud Circle kingdom but there were still two or three more people"
"It is only fitting that they easily train their recruits. I also asked myself how the woman and Pine trained civilians to be troublemakers if only the two. They gathered many people"
"What are our next actions, Princess ?"
"How are things here? Is it really safe?"
"The Princess. Even all the vandals have been taken by the city guards to the town hall "
"Who's in charge of taking them?"
"Deputy Chief of the city guard, Princess. And nearly half the city guards were in control"
"If so, what about here?"
"The head of the city guard who is in charge as the supervisor"
"If so, we go back to City Hall first. Introgating vandals, also awaiting the arrival of the royal soldiers. Talk about the next strategy"

Louisa felt like she had closed her eyes when she woke up to hear a knock on the door.
Tok.dok...
"Who ?" he said with his eyes half closed.
"Chairman, I'm Shadow. The royal soldiers have arrived. Do you want to see them now or later?"
"Has the sun come up Shadow?"
"Have the Chief?"
"If so, ask them to wait a little. I'm getting ready first"
"Good chairman"
Louisa's getting ready. Wash his face to remove the drowsiness that is still attacking. I knew he had only slept for a few hours.
As he exited, it was seen in the field of the city hall crowded with royal soldiers lined up neatly. The town hall was not too broad. Because Score City is just a small town that has only been formed for a few years.
Seeing his arrival, a man in his forties ran in front of Louisa and immediately saluted.
"Did you have a message?"
"Just ask the Princess to return to Hinom"
"That's it?"
"From General Lucky that's all. But this is a letter from Lady Margaret" Captain Leon said, handing Louisa the sealed letter scroll.
Louisa accepted it and opened it immediately. It was rare for her mother to send her a letter.
Louisa's face briefly smiled but then frowned.
"Has something happened, Chairman ?" ask Deep who saw the change in Louisa's face.
"Little bit. But we'll talk about it later. Now Captain, just disperse the soldiers first so they can rest first. After this, we have a meeting about the next plan"
"Good Mr. Princess "
Louisa walked in front of the soldiers.
"Greetings to Lord Princess Lorine" the soldiers said in unison as they bowed to Louisa.
"Greetings to you I accept. I said welcome to Score City. Put up some tents so you can rest. After all, you've come a long way from the city of Hinom."
"Every Princess" they answered in unison.
"Later I need your help to take care of some things. Are you ready?"
"Available at all times. Waiting for the order of the Princess "
"good. For the next will be forwarded by Captain Leon" Louisa said as she left the field and entered the town hall.
*****
Inside the meeting room were already the City Chief, Light, and Marco. They are seen having a serious conversation but stop when they see Louisa coming.
"I don't think you're back yet." said Louisa.
"Newly returned Chief. We haven't reported because we saw the Chairman talking to Captain Leon"
Deep, Shadow, Light, and Captain Leo at the very end enter the meeting room.
After making sure everyone had gathered Louisa immediately started the meeting.
"Alright, since we've all gathered here we start the meeting. Shine please explain the situation so that Captain Leon can understand the problem "
"Thank you, Chief. It all started from the chaos report we received while in the city of Leak precisely at the location of the construction of the border wall which is the entrance gate of the Cloud Circle Kingdom" Shine said.
"Because it is close to the location, we want to check the truth of the information. It turned out that the reality was worse than we had thought. The city of Leak really became a dead city at night because of the curfew imposed by the head of the city."
"We are looking for information on the causes including the interrogation of vandals who have become prisoners. From there the story evolves, and we know that their next target is the town of Score. That's why we asked to send soldiers here"
"Sorry coach Shine, but I still don't understand what's really going on. At first glance when we were passing by, the city seemed safe "
"It looks like that, but actually last night there was an attack on the border wall."
Captain Leon was slightly surprised by the changing color of his face.
"We've been investigating the man's training ground. And there are currently about fifty people in the training ground. But the main point is not them, because they are just pawns who are our people too."
"So what did coach Shine mean?"
"Captain Leon..."
"Yes, Princess "
"All this chaos is related to the Cloud Circle kingdom. Right now we know, there are about three to five members of the Cloud Circle Kingdom special forces in this city. And they're the ones who recruited our people to make this mess"
Captain Leon's face seemed to be flushed red withstanding anger.
"Why do they always bother us, Princess. It cannot be allowed to continue. Do they think we are so weak? Maybe we should be strict this once, Princess. I'm not afraid of fighting the Cloud Circle."
"Why do you think the palace has been more concerned with the construction of a border wall? Also why was the recruitment of royal warriors enhanced continuously? I know your anger Captain Leon. But our main focus is overcoming the small first. Before declaring war, we must be sure that we are properly prepared for all the consequences"
