A few weeks have passed.
Ariel who was currently sitting leisurely inside a tent in the Weather Deep Region.
Hooaaam~
Ariel yawns. It could be seen that he was currently bored.
Although he is currently attending the meeting, he is surrounded by some people who have an important position in the country of Albion.
"Can you be more serious? Princesses! We are having a very important meeting to determine our success. How can you be so relaxed like this! " said someone who looks to have a high enough position.
He had been holding back his frustration all along. Because he disagreed, upon Ariel's appointment as leader, about this war.
"Mr Oscar. Even though you're a Duke. However, your attitude is a little disrespectful towards Miss Louise! " A knight who was behind Ariel came forward for a few steps and rebuked Oscar.
"Well, who else would it be if not the famous Mr. Felix. It's an honor to meet you" said Oscar, bowing slightly, "I just want to tell Mr. Princess to be more serious. "
"Whatever the reason, be softer towards Miss! " said Felix.
" ... , according to your wishes. "Oscar obeyed him and returned to his seat quietly.
Ariel saw the incident just now. I can only smile with satisfaction.
Hmmm .. Felix was quite useful as well. As expected of his trusted bodyguard Anastasius.
Ariel thought to herself in the heart.
Before his departure for the battlefield, Anastasius sent Felix as his most trusted bodyguard, temporarily accompanying Ariel as his follower.
Although that's part of the reason. The other thing was to supervise, pass on information and so on to Anastasius. As a knight who swore allegiance to him.
A few moments later, Ariel raised her hand. At that moment, the room became quiet.
They all set Ariel in curiosity.
After all the gazes were directed at her, Ariel opened her mouth lazily.
"Yes ..my purpose for gathering you here is because I want to tell you something. " Say Ariel. Which made, the nobles looked at each other curiously.
All this time, they had been plotting war tactics for the upcoming battle, unbeknownst to Ariel.
Because they think, 'What can it be? An inexperienced princess to lead? ' .
Though they know that Ariel is Ronand's favorite student. But that's all they know.
According them. Maybe Ariel is strong enough, to do a fight. That was proven a few years ago, when Ariel fought several attackers at a party gracefully.
But this is a war. Relying on only an inexperienced child. They think this is stupid! It made some question Anastasius' decision.
Even though they did not express their opinions directly. However, Ariel knew, they were looking at her as if underestimating. Ariel paid no heed to that and continued to speak.
"In this war, you don't have to do anything. Just wait in this place for some time! " Ariel announced.
And that made the people who were inside the place immediately become confused.
Ariel who heard that, shook her head and spoke, "I mean, you guys don't have to do anything and wait for a few days to come back. "
After Ariel said that, all could only fall silent. And looked at Ariel strangely. Until a while later, the place was immediately filled with the whispers of the nobles who were shocked.
Until someone takes advantage of this chaotic moment and starts talking.
"God! Turns out to be true. The age of the princess was too small to be able to lead an army. And made the princess so frightened, that she spoke like that. " A person comments in that hubbub, grinning.
In an instant, Ariel knew who had spoken like that. He looked towards the source of the voice and said, "Duke Oscar .... “
Ariel let out a tired breath and muttered her name.
He always criticized what Ariel had said from the beginning. And that made Ariel a little upset.
This time it's the same. However, Ariel deliberately said something like that, for this time.
It aims to lure people who always oppose him. Because according to him. Something like that, would only be a hindrance to him.
"That's right, Princess! What if all the commandos, let me take care of them. The Princess just needs to sit sweetly while waiting for victory from us! " Oscar proposes.
Which makes, Ariel pretended to be interested and replied, "Hohh~ is very confident. Do you have a plan? Isn't the enemy's army much larger than ours? "
Oscar smiled in response, "Of course, Princess. The details will be mentioned later. However, I intend to attack the enemy who is camping not far from our place at midnight tomorrow. We'll ambush while they're resting. "
Oscar explained. Which made Ariel criticize harshly, "Silly! You think they're not prepared to fight something like that? After all, their numbers are much larger than ours. It took quite a long time, until their troops prepared and surrounded us due to the numbers. Didn't you think up to that? "
Ariel criticizes scathingly, thus making Oscar lose his patience and reply Ariel.
"... , Princess there's no need to worry about it. Our strength is much greater than those little ants. This plan was much better compared to the 'blur' that the Princess had said. " Oscar looked at Ariel sharply.
There was no friendliness in his gaze, which made Felix immediately open his mouth. However, it was immediately stopped by Ariel.
Ariel pretended to ponder for a while and immediately opened her mouth and said.
"Who said we'd run away? I have my own plan. If you insist, you can do as you please! " ariel.
"N-missy? " Felix was surprised, after hearing that from Ariel.
But Ariel did not respond, and continued while glancing at the other nobles.
"And if anyone disagrees with my decision, you can stand up and join Duke Oscar! I won't blame you for this" Ariel said.
Until after that, some nobles hesitantly stood up. Although the numbers were not too many, as they were afraid of opposing Ariel, more precisely, the one who would receive this information through the person behind Ariel.
Felix looked at the nobles with a cold gaze.
Just saw some standing up. Ariel muttered softly, so no one could hear her.
"Just a little bit .." murmured Ariel, "Cleaning. "
