I Became a Bookkeeper the Monarchs Are Obsessed With

21 – Crown Prince vs Northern Grand Duke – 5

When I returned to the prince’s military camp.

We received a great award from Diane de Balboa.

I, who gave the order, received a medal along with 100 ducats, and the rest of the soldiers also received their respective awards.

It was because he achieved an overwhelming victory with almost no damage even against an enemy close to three times his size.

Another important thing. It was significant that the Grand Duke Cronor of the North had reported that he had launched a clear field tactic and that several villages had been robbed.

We returned after completing our reconnaissance mission and winning the battle in addition to that.

The impeccable work surprised Diane de Balboa.

“Charles, to be honest, I didn’t know you could do this.”

“You must have thought that way during the mock battle as well.”

“Ha ha, yes. I do not know where your limits are.”

It’s my limit, it’s still a long way to come out.

“When I saw it in a mock battle, I thought it was a gemstone that would make an excellent strategist if processed well. But now I feel that it might not be a raw stone, but a finished product.”

What’s so bad about your face…

“Not only this vacation, but do you have any intention of working under me in the future? As you know, I am the right hand of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you are under me, your career will not be difficult.”

This is an attractive proposition. Certainly, if I promote with Dian, my success may not be difficult. However, the prince was a little uneasy. This is because, according to the original history, the crown prince led a large army of 35,000 in this battle and was beaten by the northern archduke of only 15,000. Because…

“I will think about it some more and make a decision.”

If the crown prince seizes the hegemony of the continent without being hit, then I will serve you. It meant.

“I don’t know why you’re so cautious.”

You have to be careful. Life is not 2T.

“Well, I understand what you mean. In any case, this performance is commendable. Sooner or later, I’ll give you a prize along with a medal.”

“Yes.”

“At the academy, you will receive extra points for your performance this time.”

“Yes.”

“It was a lot of trouble.”

Oddly enough, those words made me feel a little saved.

“Yes. thank you.”

I bowed my head to Professor Dian, and Dian patted me on the shoulder as if satisfied, then left the seat.

And the scout officer Gabriel, who was watching from the side, asked in astonishment.

“Are you acquainted with the general?”

“It’s a teacher-teacher relationship at the academy.”

“Now, the relationship between the general and the priest… Please forgive me for all my rudeness until now!!!!!!”

Saying that, Gabriel knelt down.

Well, the difference between an officer and a general is like heaven and earth.

I said, lifting Gabriel up.

“Gabriel did a great job. Gabriel is the first person I’ve worked with who hasn’t ignored me. I wish you well in the future.”

“I will do my best!!!!!!!!!!”

That’s why you have to be loyal to the general, not to me, the temporary secretary.

In any case, with Gabriel’s over, this was over.

Meanwhile, Grand Duke of the North, Carl Cronor, was enraged when he heard the news that the scouts had been seriously injured.

“Our scouts were attacked by weak central scouts.”

“It’s nothing, Your Highness. Only 40 people were killed.”

“There were 60 allies and 20 opponents.”

“… ”

“The report said that he was unilaterally attacked on the way to escape.”

“Yes, yes.”

Grand Duke Cronor sighed deeply and spoke to Usami, the bookkeeper.

“Listen up, Usami. The North is wide.”

The grand duke’s schemer put on a puzzled expression at the sudden word of the grand duke.

“The North is wide! On the other hand, there is very little land available for farming. That’s the North’s problem. It is large, but the population is small. That’s why I’ve been invaded by the guys in the middle, and I’ve been pushed back by the guys in the middle.”

There was such a history. The Arcadia Empire has invaded the North several times so far, and the North has barely stopped it.

“Nevertheless, the reason we have autonomy now is because the northerners have a strong temperament. Northerners are big. Northerners are strong. Northerners are fearless. Because of this, middle women cannot treat northerners carelessly. Do you know why northerners are strong?”

“Because Northerners grow up learning honor.”

At the words of the bookkeeper, the Grand Duke laughed.

“Bullsh*t. You can’t be strong just because you learn honor. It’s just that those who weren’t strong couldn’t stand it and died!”

Yes. The North is no place for people to live. But even in such a place, there were people who survived. That was a strong man.

“Until now, the reason why the central people did not easily touch the north is because the northern people are strong. Because all those who are not strong are dead. Because only the strong remain! However, it was only when they were overpowered in the outpost that the people in the middle would look down on the people in the north. Northerners will look down on you for not being strong. The future battles will be adversely affected!”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, but it’s just a very small encounter… ”

“Shut up! I will not listen to any more excuses.”

At one word from the Grand Duke, the hall froze. And the grand duke called the name of the bookkeeper.

“Usami!”

“Yes!”

“Hang the fallen soldiers who were defeated in yesterday’s battle and display them at the military gate. I will show you what becomes of those who flee without fighting. Then, call Emilia.”

“Yes!”

Soon after, a mysterious woman wearing the uniform of Arcadia Academy appeared outside the barracks. The woman had such a beautiful appearance that I wondered if the goddess of beauty had descended.

Even so, the eyes of the servants who saw her were filled with fear. This was also true because there was a case in which Archduke Carl von Cronor plucked out the eyes of a servant who was slyly looking at his daughter.

“You’re here,”

“His Highness the Grand Duke.”

The voices of two people who feel a sense of distance even though they are between father and daughter. And the Grand Duke said.

“Emilia, I will ask you.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Who is the most outstanding knight in the North?”

At those words, Emilia von Cronor thought for a moment before speaking.

“It is me.”

The Archduke rose from his seat at the words Emilia uttered calmly. And the Archduke calmly walked towards Emilia.

Emilia von Kronor. With a height of 170, she was tall enough for a woman to be close to most men, but her father, Carl von Cronor, was over 2 meters tall. A huge height difference of over 30 cm. As they stood side by side, it looked like Beauty standing in front of a huge beast. and…

– Damn!!!

Archduke Cronor slapped Emilia on the cheek with all his might.

“I must have told you not to be arrogant just because you have small talents. You’re breaking that word again and overconfident in your own skills.”

“I was just telling the truth.”

“under! Jung If so, I will give you a chance to prove the fact. I will hand over command of the reconnaissance unit to you. You will lead the honorable northerners with your skills and teach the central guys the difference in rank.”

“majesty! It’s too dangerous to send the heir of the Cronor family to such a place… ”

At that, the bookkeeper hurriedly tried to intervene.

-Sueug

Emilia immediately got down on one knee in front of the Archduke.

“I will accept it.”

Grand Duke Cronor’s daughter, Emilia Cronor. participate in the war

—–

Archduke Cronor’s schemer, Usami Accra, summoned Emilia.

“Miss Emilia!”

Instead of answering this, Emilia stood still. And Usami Akra hurriedly ran to Emilia and said.

“How could you accept such an assignment! Scouting is the most dangerous mission. You could die! Please don’t do it now.”

“The Grand Duke will be angry.”

Usami Akra is tired of this father-daughter relationship. Grand Duke Cronor treated Emilia with an attitude close to abuse from a young age, and when Emilia met Grand Duke Cronor, she always treated her as a grand duke, not as a father. It was Usami who vowed never to have a relationship like this with her daughter.

“Emilia-sama, I’m sure the grand duke will be angry if we stop now. Judging by the character of the Archduke, he could be locked up and beaten for days and nights. But think about it. A few days and nights might be better than dying.”

“… ”

In response, Emilia was silent for a while and then began to look into the distance. Usami’s gaze followed Emilia’s.

“Usami, there is always someone whispering in my head.”

“Yes? what is that… ”

“A whisper in my head. At first, I thought the devil was bewitching me. But lately it’s different.”

Emilia drew her sword and raised it towards the sky. A pure white aura blade stood around the sword. Usami couldn’t help but be shocked. Of course, Aura Blade is the symbol of a sword master. It was thought that there was only one sword master in the world, but with Emilia’s existence, the second sword master was born! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that at this level, as Emilia said, she was the number one person in the north.

“Emilia-sama, when will you achieve such an achievement… ”

“Last month, when I was at the academy.”

Emilia’s expression began to turn into joy. She blushed as if she was ecstatic just thinking about it.

“The Goddess of War came to visit me. That day was the best day of my life. And my sword has become more powerful than ever before.”

“then… ”

Usami was embarrassed. Should I take this word for granted? Or should I point out that it was Emilia’s delusion?

What was certain was that Emilia had become stronger than ever before, and that she was full of confidence.

‘Is it useless even if I dry it… ‘

Emilia von Kronor. He doesn’t resemble his father at all in appearance, but he does resemble his father in his stubbornness.

Usami just looked at Emilia’s back as she left and really hoped that the Goddess of War would take care of her.

and a week later.

“messenger!!! messenger!!! Emilia-sama is back!”

A messenger shouted to the barracks of Grand Duke Cronor.

And Emilia’s horse cart that had returned was filled with hundreds of enemies.
