While the war raged, that morning Natasha was sitting in front of her desk. This part, the documents he had to make or signed had already piled up a lot. The more here, the burden of his work is also getting heavier.
But for one reason, her stamina was always awake. He often looks fresh regardless of how much work he does. He's not hiding anything. The only reason why he never looked tired was the ring he was wearing.
True, the ring that Jean gave [Earth energy] into the body of Natasha (and her other lovers) and then automatically dispose of the dirty energy in their bodies. What if the ring is removed? Well, the effect won't go away.
Back to Natasha. Even though his face looked calm, his body gestures revealed as if he was fretting over one thing.
It's all about his enemy this time, the kingdom of Silesia. No, he really wasn't worried about Rose, actually. With the ability that Rose had, Natasha was convinced that the girl must have managed to defeat the Silesian kingdom.
Basically, what he was worried about was precisely the nobles who had 'sold' their loyalty to him. With great beauty, they declared themselves the loyal guardians of the new kingdom.
Natasha is not a naive woman. The count who came to him was definitely not a loyal group of people. Instead, they were cowards who were ready to betray Natasha at any time when the fun was no longer on her side.
"If it was Jean.... Hahh, he would definitely not hesitate to finish them off right from the start. Perhaps, he would also finish off their entire family down to its roots. Fufufu, I miss you, baby. When are you coming back huh?"
Natasha laughed a little. Of course, Jean is on another level. Although from the outside Jean looks like a gentle, supple, and jolly person, Natasha knows very well that Jean is a very cold and calculative person.
He will use any means to achieve his goal. Even if it had to kill many lives or destroy the world though.
Of course, Jean was like that. After all the things they went through together, so did Natasha's conclusion. Even so, Jean was very appreciative of the people attached to her.
Well, comparing herself to Jean is pointless. Natasha has her own way of dealing with people like them. And in this war, Natasha and Rose had agreed to it.
"Now, I leave the rest to you, my dear Rose."

The cannons are still barking. The battleground soon became an arena of bloodshed. The cannon used by Rose proved to be a deterrent effect to the enemy. Their ranks became chaotic in panic.
The experienced soldiers on the side of the Silesian kingdom attempted to rearrange their formation. But the militias, mostly peasants, remained in disarray.
Seeing this, Rose nodded lightly. Although the casualties from cannon and ballistic attacks were not so much, the panic on the part of the Silesian kingdom proved that the first phase of its tactics had been a success.
"Miss Rose, may I lead my knights to destroy an already fragmented enemy?"
One of the men approached Rose. He was a man in his early 40s. Having blond hair with a hint of wrinkles on his face, his eyes radiated a flaming ambition.
Wrinkles appeared on the forehead of the man who had the status of the count. A pulse appeared on his forehead. He was clearly offended by Rose not listening to his question from the start.
He is Count Lombard. One of the few count who declared his loyalty to Natasha. He's here as reinforcements for Rose. Also, in order to reach the Silesian kingdom, Rose and her army had to pass through Lombard territory.
Of Rose's 10,000 troops, 3,000 were private knights belonging to the Lombard family. In fact, count Lombard himself was reluctant to come as a favor. But when Rose gave herself most of the financial aid and some other promises, the objection was immediately lost.
"I will repeat it once again, can I bring my troops to destroy the enemy ranks that are being panicked!?"
There is emphasis in this question. Rose could understand Count Lombard's strong desire to take advantage of this opportunity to get a sense of pleasure from himself and Natasha.
Rose thought hard. As if there was no other choice, Rose nodded.
"Alright, your highness Count Lombard. Lead your knights to destroy the enemy! In the name of her majesty queen Natasha, I will give you a reward if I successfully carry out this noble task!"
"Understand me, Miss Rose! Then I'll be leaving soon!"
Count Lombard mounted his horse and soon returned to his tent separated from the main camp. Rose looked only at Count Lombard's back until he was nowhere to be seen.

"Cih, that common woman.... How dare he ignore me!"
Accompanied by his retainer, Count Lombard prepares to go to war. His anger had not disappeared because Rose had already humbled herself indirectly.
Either way, he was a Noble while Rose was a commoner. Although the girl had earned a respectable place in the military, the dirty blood of a commoner still flowed within the woman!
Count Lombard decided to keep his anger in check and focus on the war in front of him.
If the mission is successful, he will ask for the cannon, ballistics, and musket for himself. That way, his military status and capability would increase. With that he could suppress the other nobles.
Natasha would obviously give him a strategic position at the center of the kingdom. Count Lombard could not wait for that day to come.
All his troops are gathered. 2,700 infantry and 300 cavalry. In high spirits, count Lombard led his army into the heart of the enemy once the cannon fire had stopped.
That day, Count Lombard's destiny was determined.
