Herscherik

It has been a week since the Gracis Royal Army defeated and won the Atorad Imperial Army. In the name of its Royal Army, Hershelik, the summit of his status, was forced to live on his bed from the end of the war until today.

Shortly after the war ended, Hershelik fell because of his liberation from tension. Fatigue overlapped with injuries to the left arm, and for a few days he had a high fever and a faint consciousness. But it is already a story of the past.

"Cro, I don't care if you're out of bed anymore..."

Yes, Hershelik wakes up on the bed and keeps his back in the cushion, while speaking to the head butler, who attends as if to keep an eye on himself. No, his butler was not an analogy, he was watching the Lord not to get out of the room. Enough to deliberately bring your desk and chair into Hershelik's bedroom and do your own paperwork.

"No.

Deacon who immediately dismisses the Lord's request. That should also be because Hershelik has already been captured yesterday by a ghost shaped clo after escaping with a clo gap and strolling around the fort.

"My fever's gone down already, and my arm doesn't hurt like that...... right?

Hershelik asks you to put your child's unique adorability forward and let her tilt her neck cutely. This treat, which makes full use of the beauty of the royal family, would have passed to most human beings but was useless to the Cro who knew their true nature.

"No.

Just now, word for word, butler who dismisses without changing his expression. By the way, in the meantime, his hand with the fountain pen runs on the paperwork without stopping.

"……… I'm free.

When people say they like to sleep, but they can sleep, they want to move the other way around. The clown stares at the Lord like that.

"You'll deserve it. In general, what was I thinking about getting into the fort by myself?

"…… Nothing, Mr. Roy will do the same. And how many times have we talked about it?

Hershelik raises an excuse-stained voice to a grudging-versed word of Khlo that I don't know how many times.

If it was true, he was scheduled to rendezvous with Crowe in the small village he first visited after being flushed from the river, and to rendezvous with the Expeditionary Army disguised as devastation as it was. But after hearing Roy's story, Hershelik, who decided that there was likely to be an insider in the fort, acted alone to blur it out. The handkerchief wrapped around the fence was a cipher decided with the heads, and the bow ties said, "You're going to the fort a little bit ahead! Meaning."

Clo's mood when he discovered it would be easy to predict, but he still doesn't know his subordinate hardship as he acts.

Detecting Hershelik's intentions, Kro was ahead of the fort when he told the Expeditionary Army that he was going to break in under the guise of a soldier and gather information and evidence.

"Shut up and sleep with adults.

"…… Yes.

Hershelik gazed at Crow in dissatisfaction, but eventually he gives up getting out of bed and gets buried in the back cushion. The dust crept between his eyebrows and the clo seemed grumpy for only a moment, but Hershelik pretends not to notice.

"…… that, speaking of which, what about Shiro?

Hershelik realizes that Shiro is not here.

"Yeah, he's caged in there knowing there's a library here too.

Shiro is no less than Hershelik, a book bug, and he doesn't have a particular job like Oran, who patrols the clos and neighborhoods. For this reason, I was able to easily imagine myself happily pulling into a library because I had no time to spare. But there was one problem.

"Shiro, are you okay to act alone?

In many ways, Shilo's actions alone are dangerous. That is why the appearance is a goddess of beauty, so there may be soldiers involved who have won the war and removed their wings.

No one approached me because Hershelik or Oran were always on my side during the march, except when I was in the carriage, where I kept getting my gaze of interest, and I was always grumpy.

By the way, it's not Shiro that's at stake, it's his opponent. If you want to be made fun of, you can easily predict that you will relentlessly unleash magic like you did when you were in the royal castle. Of course, Shiro himself is worried, but it would be obvious if the damage to Shiro and the damage to the surroundings caused by Shiro were put on the scale.

Crowe said firmly to Hershelik, who worries in many ways.

"I blew up a few while Hershey was asleep, so now there's no one to give it a little bit out, so it's fine.

I'm not saying that's okay, or you didn't stop, but Hershelik was silent.

Then today Hershelik, given a book that he borrowed in the library room by Shilo, who returned to his room without leaving the victim, spends as much time as Shiro became a book bug. Oran visited the room after returning from a patrol assignment in lieu of Clo, who went to submit the completed documents in the afternoon.

"I'm back. Hershey, how are you doing physically?

Upon his return, Hershelik was embarrassed by his weak parts and pleased with Oran's feelings, and turned to laugh bitterly as a result.

"Welcome home, Oran. As you can see, I'm fine enough to spare you time. So, how was the perimeter?

"No particular problem. There is no looting and the Imperial Army is making a big deal of it. There are a few mercenary guilds staying in the village for protection, so it shouldn't happen in case.

Hershelik strokes his chest down relieved by the words. After the war was over, my biggest concern was that the surrounding area would be razed. Especially worried that soldiers who escaped the losing Imperial Army would attack the surrounding villages.

Ten thousand troops, including Heath, will not safely split their personnel on the lookout for nearly a hundred thousand captured soldiers, even as they are about to go on patrol. For this reason, Hershelik asked Oran and his escort, the Kingsguard knights, to patrol the surrounding area. Moreover, the mercenaries of the mercenary guild who cooperated offered protection until the Imperial Army was gone, so the villagers near the fort were able to live in peace.

At the same time, he has warned the Imperial Army. We have to forgive him as soon as we find him. By the way, what Oran did to that warning was also a deterrent. They instantly killed a famous general in the battle ahead, because Oran is now feared within the Imperial Army. However, Oran, the person in question, said that he had neither a body nor a lid to kill him because he was in front of him.

"What about the negotiations?

Hershelik asks. I would have to be on the negotiating table myself, but I am in a state where I leave everything to General Bartolt because he has fallen.

"General Bartolt is in progress. You don't have a problem leaving it to me. I've heard of that man's solidity from his father.

Hershelik nodded at Oran, saying that he was not greedy enough.

When Crowe returned there, he informed General Bartolt of the room he had just been talking about.

"Hersche, General Bartolt would like to see you, but can I let you through?

"Hmm? Fine. Oh, are you sure you want to stay in this good shape?

I change clothes every day but they are simple clothes. Exactly as a prince, I tilted my neck wondering what this look like, and Crowe took my jacket out of the closet and put it on me.

"They don't mind. Just weave your jacket for now. You don't have to put your hands through it, the injury will hurt.

Hershelik obeyed Kro's words honestly because his left arm was not fully healed yet and it hurt when he moved it.

"Your Highness Hershelik, I apologize for your time off. How about your body?

"It's okay, General Bartolt. I'm sorry I left everything to you after the war.

Hershelik greets Bartolt with regret when he enters the room.

"Never mind. Because this is also my job. But I need to talk to you about the commander of the captured empire..."

"Is there a problem? Is it difficult to negotiate or something?

Hershelik tilts his neck in the words of a badly toothed Bartolt. This one is overwhelmingly advantageous in winning the war. I don't think the head of the defeated army can insist.

"No, as His Royal Highness said, the conversation is progressing fine with post-war compensation, etc. We are also sequentially repatriating the soldiers who are in captivity.

Since it was a super short-term showdown, there is not a 10% loss on the part of the Imperial Army. The loss on the part of the Kingdom is also about 20%.

In the negotiations, the cost of dancing to the families of soldiers who died or were injured in this battle, as well as the cost of reconstruction to the village burned down by the Imperial Army during the ambush, plus compensation to the Kingdom of Gracis and for the other five years, the inviolability pact of the Kingdom to the national territory is the demand for the other party.

"Then what?

When Hershelik asked, Bartolt said as he distorted his expression.

"The Imperial Commander would like to meet with His Highness in person… he claims to have useful information for His Highness.

Hershelik's eyes narrow in the words. And I nodded after thinking for a few beats.

"Okay, let's talk. Schwartz, get ready.

"……….

Clo nods slightly dissatisfied and takes out Hershelik's change of clothes, helping him to change. I can usually get dressed by myself, but if I can't use one arm, I have difficulty getting dressed.

As Bartolt waits in the hallway, Hershelik, dressed, shows up with Crowe and Oran. Shiro is still reading in the room because he is not interested.

Bartolt, acknowledging Hershelik's appearance, opened his mouth just as hard to say.

"…… the Commander of the Empire wants to meet with one of you, Your Highness.

I felt the temperature dropped around the head deacons, mainly the head deacons.
