Princess In Another World's
The Genius
Afternoon, military area
After waking up from my sleep, I went straight to the military area to give my troops a strategy.
-----------
We the 4th are having discussions on the attack that will be carried out later tonight.
"Commander, are you okay? You look pale." (Laren)
"Well, I just woke up. Maybe because of that."
"so."
"Well, Dirk, is everything I ordered ready?"
"Everything is done, the commander, 5000 poison arrows and the entire army's sword are covered with poison as well. And we've also dried it in the sun."
"so. Famus, is there any new information about Victioria's army?"
"There's no more information we can get than that."
"Oh, yeah. Nevermind." I then pulled out a paper. "I want you to get away from this place I marked."
"Commander, what is it..."
"Yes, the map I worked on last night." I made them together by making ingredients for the poison.
"How accurate is the map commander."
"I can't guarantee it, but at least above 70%." Because in a hurry I can't take this map into account to the maximum, but it doesn't seem like this is going to be a big deal. "This plan will be carried out when the sun has set, and remember to stay alert. And also about the poison, I hope you can make the most of it."
"GOOD."
The strategy is very easy, consisting of 4 squads.2 squads attack directly from the front while 2 other squads attack from different sides. Since the place of battle this time is near the shore, I'm sure there is no other way for the enemy forces to fight or escape but even if they can disperse.
------------
Outside the meeting room.
"What's this?" The troops gathered at the door.
"Commander, they rejected this plan. They say that archers can't shoot at night." (Grild)
"so." It would be a problem if the archers could not shoot their enemies, because what was needed in this strategy was the archers.
"Commander, don't you have a way to deal with this?" (Laren)
"Hm. Take it easy, there are 2 things that can make the archers see at night."
"What's that?"
"Enemy illumination source, and also moonlight. You have to take advantage of that, otherwise you can resign from this mission, and of course there are consequences if this plan fails. It's possible that this kingdom will be taken over, and there will be many other bad things that can happen after that happens."
hearing that, the soldiers were silent. "Who wants to resign, I'm pleased. Besides I'm only in charge of making plans, I won't force you to come along. But, the consequences will be very bad." Although it wasn't pushy, my words just now sounded like a big threat. "Will anyone resign?"
No answer, it means they agree. "All right, you're gonna do this plan tonight. The success or failure of this plan all depends on your efforts and hard work." I'm going straight away.

Rooms
"Daughter, dinner's ready."
"Yes, I'll be there in a minute."
"Good."
"Huh..." Today I was so exhausted, sleeping was not enough for me. "Iona, you want to take my place for a while, I want to rest. I'm so sleepy, I beg you..." My eyes are starting to feel heavy. "Good sleep."
------------------
Morning time.
"Hoaaamm-chan. I overslept, yes." This morning my body felt so fresh, probably because I was getting enough sleep. "What about my army, yeah." I haven't heard from them. "It looks like they're okay. Take a shower first...."
----------
Dining room
I am currently having breakfast with my mom and dad. "Iona, yesterday at dinner you had a lot. What the hell happened to you?"
"Huh?" I don't remember if I had dinner last night.
"He's in his infancy, it's natural for a child his age. Don't think too much."
"Hm?" I don't remember that incident at all. "Wait a minute, what is Iona?" But, even so I'm not so sure but it's possible that it did happen. Iona took over her body while I was sleeping. "This is a big advance." This is the first time I've ever felt so happy.
"Iona, what's wrong? You look so happy today." (Dad)
---------------
"Soldier, what's up?"
A soldier suddenly entered the dining room. "Your highness, sorry to interrupt your breakfast. But, the news I want to tell your majesty."
"What news is that?"
"The Vicotoria troops were gone, and there were a lot of traces of blood in the area where the Victorian troops were. And we also found this while researching about it." The soldier showed me an arrow.
"That's..." Those are the arrows used by my troops, it looks like they succeeded.
"Arrow boy?"
"Yes your honor, this arrow has also been coated with a very deadly poison. We also found hundreds of Victorian corpses in the woods, and we think they all died from this poison."
Hearing that, I looked a little worried. "Soldiers, immediately find a poison cure for the poison. Ask the medicine experts to make the antidote."
"Okay, your honor." The soldier left, and father glanced at me a little. I know what he wants to say. "Don't do such a dangerous thing again, make a poison. How about you get the poison." Yeah, that's what you're going to say, and maybe there's a lot more.

Morning, Military area.
Arriving at the military area, I immediately went inside for a little rest.
"Commander, you're coming." (Dirk) They're 4 in here.
"What about yesterday's mission, I don't think there's a problem."
"If it is for that.." (Grild) Hearing Grild speak like that, I felt that there was a slight problem.
"Grild, what's wrong?"
"Commander, the plans made by you are already known to the enemy."
"What's? How come?" The plan I made was perfect, and if anyone could figure it out, he must be a genius.
"Neither, but just before we attacked the Victorians we had already prepared a shield to take cover from the arrows that the archers were about to unleash."
"Prepare the shield." If it is true like that, it means that the Victorian troops have realized that there are some of their defenses are very weak. What confuses me is that. "How did they know of my plan." Whether it's just a coincidence or not, but for sure this makes me a little anxious. "Traitor." That's the only possibility that could happen for now.
"Traitor?"
"One of you has leaked this plan that I've made, so they can figure it out."
"Traitor, who would dare betray the commander?"
"So, that's just my guess." I can't come to a conclusion that fast, after all I don't have much evidence.
"If not for the traitor, then there is only 1 other possibility. The person I just faced was a genius." For the first time, I felt like I had a really fun challenge. "Today, maybe I've got a rival."
------------------
Meanwhile...
"Prince, forgive me. As a commander I have already failed the mission this time. I'm ready to get punished for the failure in the mission this time."
"No, you're innocent. This is my negligence in making a strategy for the war this time. I underestimated them."
"That's impossible, any strategy that we're willing to make can always bring victory to our troops."
"This is my fault. And also, it seems that there is also someone who has more knowledge about war strategy."
"Sorry to disturb your commander, prince. From the information I got, the fallen troops numbered more than five hundred people." (Warrior)
"L-Five hundred. That's a lot." (Commander)
"That's the fact the commander, this is our biggest casualty in the battle this time." (Warrior)
"But, that's very unnatural. Up to 500 soldiers were casualties."
"No, that's natural."
"Prince, the arrow."
The prince held an arrow. "In this arrow it is already coated by an extremely powerful poison. If anyone is exposed to this poison just a little then it is certain his life will not be helped."
"M-impossible. Who exactly is the person who can make such a powerful poison"
"Let's know, he must be a genius. Lining swords and arrows with poison, it was a dirty strategy and also very good. (a little smile) Warrior, arriving at the kingdom, I want to see the results of this poison analysis. And if possible, make a lot of poison like this and the antidote."
"Good prince."
See you on the next chapter....
