Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter - Chapter 231

Outbreak II I still remember the voice of the people who asked for help to the Duke of Almeria, abandoning everything they once had and the territory where they used to live because of the famine. Their screams heard from the checkpoints when being inspected are still clinging to my head. As that memory came to mind, I felt that I heard a voice in my head calling for help from the Eastern people… …I will protect you, do not be afraid. At this time as well, there are people who seek help. When I stop listening to the voices of my people and stop thinking of them, it is them who will suffer. “…Lyle. Leave a minimum of guards in the north and the south, gather all the other guards and dispatch them to the east! Move your men alongside the command of Dida, you both must get rid of the enemies. Tanya, tell Dida to urgently inform us of any change in the situation. “ They silently nodded at my words. I gently breathe out and try to keep my composure before speaking again. “The greatest obligation of the lord is to protect the lives of the people … If our citizens are in crisis, we must shelter them from the enemy by using any kind of method.” I said those words as if speaking from my deepest thoughts while still slightly trembling. At my words, the three of them who were beginning to move stopped for a moment. “If there are still those who persist to disturb the peace of our people, I allow you to thoroughly eliminate those to their roots, it’s my entire responsibility what happens after it. This incompetent body, is not at the same level as you nights, running on the battlefield will not come true anytime soon… but… Still, my heart is always with you, I will carry all the blame on behalf of the Lord and you.” The three stretched their spine. “Yes, Our lady.” And when they uttered those words, they start moving immediately. “Then, Sebas, please send me two or three people from each department, I will set up an urgent committee team, so that everything concerning the eastern part will be brought to me.” “Yes, lady!” Sebas seems to have moved soon afterwards. We distributed the personnel in a few moments and the selection team for this time was lined up immediately under me. “…… Milady, communication channels have been built to the security guards in the east, so we will begin moving to the east.” “Do not forget to cooperate with Tanya’s men who are in charge of transmission.” “Yes” “Sebas, take the confirmation to the medical guild, arrange for a medical unit to be prepared to be dispatched at once, then request cooperation of the commercial guild. Please also say “If you do not want an important port to be crushed, please help. “ “Okay” “And what is the aid we will provide to the victims?” “It has already been made possible the aid team to depart at any time… “ “That’s good news.” The responsible person of transportation has coordinated with Lyle, so he can join the guard early, and be able to carry out the goods as well “ “Nice.” In a corner of the mansion, a lot of people are moving around busily. “This is serious!” An officer from the outside the mansion came crying out. Now what is she … “Suddenly an unknown ship landed into the eastern port … armed groups just started to occupy the harbor” “… What ??” The room immediately fell into complete silence. My voice, lower than I thought, sounded terribly. “Is it a matter of time before the eastern city is taken …?” As my words continued, everybody had terribly expressions. “What they’re after may be the same, they may be planning to aim the attack when the eastern part is in a state of confusion … Also, the enemies have already taken care of the officers and guards, so there is no one to direct nor protect that place. “ At Lyle’s words, I nod. “Just to be sure, Tanya send a subordinate, to report the details of the characteristics of that armed group” “Yes, milady” …… At her okay, I was out breath for a moment. At any time, we should have dealt with it when we found a suspicious ship. But at the office where we should issue the instructions, the current situation is one where we can not do anything at all. Therefore, it couldn’t do anything even when we detected it. “The Twil’s country and the Acacia kingdom may be holding hands for this war” At my speculation, everyone’s face paled. …… I, that’s right. I did not even imagine that the Kingdom of Acacia would be attacking the Duke of Almeria. Although there is no definite evidence … … If this is correct, it’s the worst situation possible.

The Kingdom of Acacia is a powerful country.
