Chapter 73: She-Devil (2)

Princess Leila hadnt been able to touch Claudia yet for one reason -- she hadnt found any solid evidence. But once she found that evidence(?), that was the day Claudias head would be chopped off by the guillotine.

Since she also knows that, of course itll be uncomfortable to stay in the Capital.

Princess Leila had understood what Claudia was trying to do.

But this may be better for me.

Princess Leila agreed to DukeBransrequest.

I understand. As long as we formally recognized the reinforcements from Strabus Kingdom, we wouldve had to send someone from our country to work with you. Like this, Ill officially delegate Claudia as a liaison.

Thank you for agreeing to my request.

Seeing DukeBransso happy, Princess Leila knew what was going on.

Hes bewitched by her.

If Milton had heard her, he would probably think, do you even have the right to say that, but Princess Leila was convinced. As a woman of wealth, beauty, and family power, Claudia had always used her status to entrap and manipulate any man useful to her. With her bewitching beauty, she was very good at seducing and manipulating men. After playing with a series of men, Claudia had finally landed on the First Prince. But now, the First Prince was dead, and she was once again aiming her sights at another man.

A man with the status of Duke and Master in Strabus Kingdom, a military powerhouse with only three Masters total. A man that vixen would see as worthy of her.

And from what Princess Leila could tell, Duke Brans himself seemed willing to give his heart to Claudia. Pretending not to see it, Princess Leila continued to speak to him.

We will also gather an army in order to help recapture our Northern Region.

But Duke Brans shook his head.

Theres no need for you to send more men, Princess Leila.

No, DukeBrans. Its a war fought in our country to reclaim our land. How could we not send any troops?

He gave her a sardonic smile.

Im sorry, Princess Leila, but

He spoke as though he was coaxing a young girl who didnt understand how to fight a war.

A battlefield without a unified chain of command is more harmful than helpful. Unless we are lacking in men, reinforcement without loyalty is not helpful.

Ah, is that so?

Yes. If you truly wished to help, then I would be grateful if you maintained a stable supply line and assisted from the back.

I see. Confusion in the chain of command. I didnt think of that.

Princess Leila muttered, looking as though she didnt know anything.

But Im not comfortable staying out of the war when its being fought on our land Ah!

Princess Leila exclaimed. It seemed as though she had just realized something.

How about we divide the army into two?

Princess Leila. Divide into two? What do you mean by that?

The road leading up north splits into two the eastern road and the western detour. How about we divide the army and go in both directions?

Thats not a bad idea.

Duke Brans couldnt think of a reason to reject her idea. Its not like foreign troops were entering his army to tell him what to do and he couldnt refuse her when she said they would go fight on a completely different battlefield on a different route. He had no reason to stop her.

Then its decided. Which direction would Duke Brans like to take?

Duke Brans answered her without hesitation.

Well take the East. The Western detour seem
