The Versatile Butler Who Served a Selfish Princess Will Become a Peerless Upstart Soldier in the Nei

I will summarize Rostel's story.

First of all, when the empire attacked, Rostel abandoned his people and fled immediately.

The remaining garrison lost the lord of the castle and were overwhelmed by the chaos of the attack.

As long as I, the lord, am alive, we can make a comeback. The land and people can be gathered again."

Well, it is true that there are some situations in which the king is right in the sense that if he lives, he will be able to rise again, ...... but the fact that he did not fight at all and even his allies retreated without him noticing is just a self-pitying thing to do.

"Then the Duchy of Celestia came back to life and here we are."

"Hmmm ......"

But there is something that bothers me.

There are obviously too few people in this area.

I had assumed that they had evacuated because of the war zone, but even so it was strangely quiet.

The first person I suspected was Lieutenant General Gugain.

I would have been surprised if they had not taken him prisoner and killed him all. But the end was worse than that.

"There is no room in the Principality now, nor in our territory once conquered. We have to feed our soldiers rather than our useless ones."

The empire treated its people well.

And when the Duchy of Celestia invaded, it demanded a ransom and offered to return them.

The answer was this.

"The empire was too generous with the money to feed them, so they released them unconditionally. They came over here and bled the incompetent soldiers of the empire as well as their own people. That's all."

"You are ......"

"It is not my will. General Clyde's orders."

I thought that the reason why this area became a battleground was because of Lieutenant General Gugain, but it seems that I have to reconsider.

"Tell me about Clyde and the people around him."

"Very well. Let me remind you of the horrors of the Principality.

Rostel smiles despite being restrained.

He decides to gather information on other assassination targets and the surrounding area while keeping a close watch on the surroundings.

Clyde and four of his officers, whom Lieutenant General Gugain dared to gather information rather than assassinate.

Rostel's easy smile also seemed to come from the strength of these men. He seemed to be sure that help would come from somewhere, since this type of person would not adopt this attitude unless he was sure that he would be saved. .......

"With General Clyde in the army, there are no defeats. As long as those people are around. ......"

Let's not say anything as long as you're good at spewing out information.

As for Clyde himself, the other four are not only targets of investigation, but also assassination targets.

Even if he didn't have much information, I thought it would be good if I knew where they were, so I continued my questioning.
