Chapter 222 - A meeting in the territory II

A meeting in the territory II

…… One week later, the country had officially announced the opening of the war.

Although some confusion and disbelief was initially seen in the territory’s people, they are starting to believe it and also get restless little by little.

Whether the prevention measures taken as decided on the meeting worked or not is something we can’t determine… we’re so worried about the troubles that people is causing because of their restlessness that new wrinkles were engraved firmly on the eyebrows of everyone…

As an outsider, the feeling of sense of crisis if not imminent in front of you, will you not cooperate… ?. Only getting restless is not useful in a war…

Anyway, it is pleasing that the city keeps its usual appearance though it is only on the surface.

I reach for a cup of coffee that was on my desk.

For the moment, enjoying coffee is a simple luxury item, but there’ll be a day when coffee would be available everywhere as a basic item? …

That day I think I will need to take care of caffeine and explaining its effects to everyone… if not will not the people not sleep again?

Coffee is not very good for the health, and if you drink too much you’ll not be able to relax and sleep, so if you can avoid it, you need to avoid it.

With a bitter smile on such an idea, I opened a letter from my mother that had just arrived.

The contents of the letter were about the recent situation, and information that mother obtained.

First of all, the situation of the military.

My grandfather has officially become the general captain of all the soldiers at this war and headed for the front line.

Although the scale and the schedule of the team is described carefully … But..my uncle, Count Anderson, he often fears that something can happen to mother and so his wife collects information with her so as to protect the security of the family so far.

Because it may be useful, I read it gratefully.

Then, talking about the current situation, there’s the story of the royal palace.

It seems that Bern is working as prime minister at Dean’s side, like at the previous meeting.

At that meeting, the moment he got up to the stage…

The eyes of my brother … wrapped an atmosphere around that would give goose bumps to everyone who has seen them.

That much pressure was felt from him as the war is approaching.

If the preparedness of that time does not change, Bern will surely do a good job … so obediently my little brother..

In addition to that, it talks about the trends of nobility.

Apparently there seemed to be some people who remained in the capital, but most of the lords seem to be returning to their territories to prepare for the war.

Regardless of how it was when Ed was ruling, if you abandon your territory now, your head will roll off immediately.

Dean is tough with regards to work, but Bern is no less though than him, he should not allow any misdemeanor to the people.

Finally, there’s the state of the Kingdom.

Apparently riots have not happened yet, but the people seem to be upset and made repeated disturbances.

In this pre-session, one of the ruling officials said that … the atmosphere of fear to the war propagates.

And it is a collective psychology that catches fire in the blink of an eye.

It is true that the fact that we’re walking on thin ice is unchanged … uh…

“If possible, I would like to know more about the situation of the war … … well, that is difficult, is not it?”

“If you wish, I’ll go investigate and report back soon”

To Tanya’s casual words, Dida who was waiting in the back started preparing to go out with her, I was surprised. So obedient…

No doubt how much he loves Tanya … and if I were him, I thought that …. I would do the same for Dean…

Anyway, don’t think anymore into it… what I want is military information.

How difficult is it to acquire the secret information of the state …… I do not know exactly, but still we should not push it.

“……can it be done?”

“If the lady wishes I’ll try, the royal palace already has some confused subordinates that can spill information for us, but still it’s not possible to obtain details of the military behavior, so if the lady wants information to that extent we will immediately send our subordinates to infiltrate in the Count Monroe’s house, because in there we can do it. “

At Tanya’s detailed knowledge about strategies to obtain information, I’m surprised.

Though I’m astonished at her competence, and where she’s aiming to obtain it from….

Still, it’s something expected from her.

“… If that’s the case, please do it as quickly as possible”

“Okay, I will arrange now.”

When I saw Tanya’s back, I abandoned the letter and again started working.
