“You can all exit, except Lucy.”
“Good.” The squad leaders are out and there's just me and Lucy here.
“Princess, is there a problem. Or maybe you.”
“Do not think strangely, I just want to ask your opinion before asking this to the squad leaders.”
“What's up?”
“Lucy, don't you feel anything strange.”
“Any? What's wrong?”
“For the last few years this kingdom is safe, but some time recently this kingdom has been in some big trouble. Don't you feel there's anything weird about it.”
“Hmm, true too. After all, I think Thorwn's kingdom is a safe kingdom, and this kingdom has rarely been attacked in the past decades. At least that's what I read in the book.”
“If it's like that, you must have noticed it too.”
“Yes, it looks like someone is trying to ignite a war that ended hundreds of years ago.”
‘Woy woy, who is this intelligent person.’ I didn't expect that he would say such a thing, I thought my thoughts and he was just as intelligent as I thought he was. But I don't know why he's acting like a fool in front of me. “Do we have to prepare a plan?”
“For that matter, I've thought about it.”
‘Woy, he's actually a pretty smart kid.’
“Then what's your plan?”
“I just thought about it.”
“Huh? Then, tell me what the plan is.” The plan that was made all of a sudden, I didn't know it was good or not so I chose to listen to it first.
“We can use that dragon.”
“Rejected.” I thought it was a brilliant plan he was going to say but I seemed to expect too much from him.
“Ehh. W-wait a minute, I haven't explained the whole plan.”
“Haa, do you want to use that dragon to attack the kingdom that wants to start a battle conflict that ended hundreds of years ago, so.”
“I-That.”
“It turns out to be true. If it's like that, forget it. In the previous incident you must have also realized that when the dragons attacked this kingdom they were being controlled.”
“Then, do you have a better plan than I suggest this?”
“I still haven't thought about it.” Thinking about something uncertain will only be a waste of time. “At least I've made the prevention.”
“Prevention?”
“Yes. The plan will start me 2 months from now, and if there is an unexpected problem then the plan will be postponed.”
“2 months uh, wait a minute. You said an unexpected problem, right.”
“Iya, what is it?”
“Don't tell me that something big is going to happen to this kingdom again?”
“If for that I don't know, but when viewed from what has happened lately. Something like that could have happened. If I only wished nothing had happened in this kingdom until the plan had begun.” If nothing happens during these 2 months then I can take a full rest, all the easy affairs I can leave to Iona. He should also be able to solve some of the problems that exist, so that when I leave he can solve any problems he faces. At least that's what I expected.
“T-Wait for princess, 2 months away. Isn't that right when there is an important event at school.”
“Eh, really?” I rarely or never even pay attention to the schedule at school.
“Iya, instead of that time the teacher told us.”
“Hmm, so.” Maybe that time, when Iona used her body. So it's only natural that I don't know. “Already, the plan will still I do in the next 2 months. I don't want to hear anything else.”
“Ehhh!?”
“Already, you can go. I'll convey what we just talked about to the others.”
“Huh? Can I go home?”
“Yes, it's not like you said you had business. Already there go.”
“If you say so, I'm leaving. See you tomorrow princess.” Lucy's gone.
At night, room.
I lay in my very soft bed. ‘Ha, for the next 2 months I don't want to do anything, and I hope nothing happens.’ As I had planned before, for the next 2 months all business will be left to Iona. Even so, I was sure I would wake up before the 2 months came because there was something that Iona could not solve and I had to do it.
I slowly started closing my eyes. ‘Iona, I leave the rest to you. I want to rest, good night.’ I'm asleep. At least I want to rest in this silence, a place that suits me perfectly but at the same time it hurts me to be in that silence.
A few days after that.
The days go on as usual, nothing strange and Iona also enjoys her days playing with her themes. And in the afternoon, after returning from the royal school, Iona immediately rushed to the special headquarters to complete the small task that Ari left for her. “Commander, this is the file you requested yesterday, and also this is the file you requested.” (Grild)
“Thanks.”
“Commander.”
“Grild, what's up?”
“Ahhh, maybe he is having business, after all he is also a prince he must have other busyness.”
“So.”
“Grild, this file.”
“Commander, is something wrong?”
“No, it's just that it looks like the quality of the harvest in the area that we control is decreasing every day. Is there a problem?”
“Eh? Really, I don't know it.”
“Try seeing this file, and you must have noticed it too.” Iona gave the file she held to Grild.
A few moments later.
“True also.” The quality of the harvest in the area that the chiefs took was decreasing with each passing day without them noticing.
“Grild, you'd better investigate why. This could be bad for the progress of the area we are currently mastering it.”
“Good.” Grild went.
“Ha. Although with Ari's intelligence, I can't do much, it's troublesome. (smiling) Somehow my way of speaking is similar to Ari.”
A few moments later.
“Ha, it's time.” Iona's gone.
Behind the special headquarters.
Iona tried to approach this sleeping dragon. ‘I want to touch it.’ Iona slowly began to approach the dragon, as it was near.
Stretched his hand.
Iona tried to touch his head, but. “Eh?” The dragon refused, moving his head as if he rejected what Iona wanted to do to him. “Why, when Ari touched you your reaction was not like this, why. Though the one who touched you is also this body.”
The dragon just growled and wagged its tail. “Ha, I need to calm down.” Iona minga to calm down. “Today has failed, but I'm sure someday I will be able to touch you. So, see you tomorrow. (smile)” Iona left the dragon with a smile on her face.
A few weeks passed and the training of the 10 people chosen by Ari went smoothly.
Afternoon.
“Commander, the 10 teams we trained are ready to do the final test.” (Grild)
“Create.”
“Good.” Grild leaves, and even so Iona does not actually know the final exam that Grild is referring to.
‘Last test? I never knew that Ari was preparing for the final exam.’
“Ha, stop. Today maybe I can touch it.”
A while after that.
“I won't give up, you'll definitely let you touch you. Just look later.” And like previous experiments, Iona was always rejected by the dragon.
At night, the dining room.
Right at dinner. “Iona.” (Dad)
“Yes, what's up dad?”
“Tomorrow you will go to Srevin kingdom for a few days as the representative of this kingdom.”
“Eh, tomorrow. But.”
“Just relax, Risa and also prince Lucy are also willing to come with you.”
“T-Wait a minute dad, but tomorrow it's.”
“Iona, do you have a show tomorrow?” (Mother)
“B-Not so, but.” Tomorrow is exactly 2 months from when Ari sleeps and this time coincides with the school plan and also the plan that Ari is preparing. ‘What should I say to dad.’ Rejecting her request might make Iona feel guilty, but accepting it on the other hand means that all the plans Ari has prepared will be chaotic and other possibilities of serious problems. ‘I'm sorry.’
“Iona.”
“Sorry dad, but tomorrow it coincides with the celebration that will be held at school, and I don't want to miss it.”
“So. If it is like that, how else. Dad will cancel it.”
“Dad, I'm sorry.”
“Iona, you don't have to apologize. I should have understood that you also have your own life.”
“That's right, your father shouldn't charge that kind of thing to a young girl like you.” (Mother)
The plan prepared by Ari was successfully defended, but on the other hand the invitation submitted by the Srevin kingdom was rejected.
At night, room.
“Ha, I hope I didn't mess up. ‘If you start something then you also have to end it.’ That phrase stuck in my mind. I won't repeat it again, and I won't try to start anything I can't finish. Then Ari, tomorrow is your turn, good luck.” Iona slowly began to sleep in her sleep. And tomorrow is the beginning of the big plan Ari prepared.
