Chapter 21 The war that is about to break out
"Sister Royal..."
In the New Delhi Manor, Sirius stood respectfully at the door of Nalia's bedroom, looking at the Royal Sister who had already changed her clothes, bowing her head slightly and saying hello.
"Yes."
Although objectively speaking, she was temporarily staying at the New Delhi Manor as a guest, Nalia did not look at Sirius twice and just nodded slightly towards the front.
Her dress today is slightly different from when she was in the Imperial City before. If Nalia looked charming and very seductive before, then today she is not less charming, but even more attractive. A bit heroic.
Maybe this has something to do with where the two of them are going today. After all, as representatives of the royal family going to visit military camps on the border, they naturally cannot dress too gorgeously and glamorously.
In particular, Princess Nalia is very good at swordsmanship, so this armored shirt looks even more incongruous.
However, the more this happened, the more Sirius became afraid of this Valkyrie who killed him like a chicken. Just because this woman brought a large group of people to live in his place on the pretext that she had no place to live temporarily, he now felt uncomfortable sleeping at night.
When he thought that Nalia might be hiding somewhere and eavesdropping at any time, he felt that his life was no fun at all. He even wished that he would start a war with the lizard people territory earlier, so that at least Nalia's attention would be available. It won't all be put on him.
Yes, Sirius now very much suspected that this woman did not completely trust him. She said she had no place to live just to monitor him.
So why go to such great lengths for a loser like him who has no fighting ability at all?
The letter betraying Nalia was not what he wanted to write, and even if he took a step back, it never happened in the end...
"Stop dawdling, it's time to go to the military camp today."
"Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Nalia nodded and did not take the opportunity to say anything to Sirius again.
The two of them were sitting in the gorgeous carriage that Nalia rode when she came to Anka that day, and Hannah was the groom. Under her control, the two horses pulled the vehicle slowly down the hillside. Many civilians they met along the way , all took the initiative to give way after seeing the flag with the royal family crest hanging on the car.
They actually didn't fully know who was in the carriage. It was indeed known to many people that Imperial Princess Nalia had arrived in Anka, but Sirius's identity was not fully known to everyone.
In addition, the curtains in the carriage were tightly drawn, and only weak sunlight filtered in through the brown window screens, so no one could see Sirius inside.
"Look at your appearance, you don't look like the second prince Sirius at all."
Nalia glanced at the man sitting opposite her. There was nothing wrong with him, but he was a little different from the brother in her impression.
"Sister, can you tell me what kind of person the second prince is? I can imitate his behavior." "
...You don't have to imitate him, just say less and do more."
Sirius said this. It made her a little upset, because Nalia felt that she didn't actually know her brother. While in the palace, his younger brother had always been a marginalized figure in the royal family.
In terms of age, she is the eldest of the empress's three children. In addition, Sirius was not good enough in all aspects, so except for some personal attendants who had taken care of him since childhood, there might not be any forces that would choose his side.
Thinking of this, Nalia's brows suddenly frowned slightly, as if she thought of something.
"Your Royal Highness, Sir Sirius, we are here."
Following Hannah's voice, the carriage slowly stopped.
When Nalia opened the curtains and looked out, Sirius also opened the car door for her in a sensible manner. The soldiers below were wearing relatively simple leather armor, and only a few generals' armor contained metal sheets and some iron rings.
The magicians are naturally relatively low-level blue-robed magicians, and there are less than five of them. Not to mention large-scale siege magic, it may be difficult for these people to cast some defensive magic.
Nalia frowned slightly when she saw this scene, and her disgust for the fat Earl Luther became more and more intense.
If he hadn't come here now to pretend to be in the same camp as them, he probably wouldn't have seen such a scene, right?
"Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
When Sirius and Nalia passed by these soldiers, they neatly shouted out the minimum respect that imperial soldiers should have when facing the royal family.
However, most people actually don’t have much expectations for their arrival.
Nalia probably knew what they were thinking, so when she walked to the military camp commander's tent, she didn't say some polite words immediately, but went straight to the topic.
"How is the situation on the lizard people's side?"
"Reporting to the princess, our people have received battle reports from the front line, and the current situation is not optimistic."
"Ah?"
Sirius was surprised that the plot was different from what he thought. It was different and he couldn't help but uttered a question, but he was immediately looked away by Nalia's unkind eyes.
Okay, since he doesn't have any combat power, it really doesn't make much sense whether he gets involved in these things or not.
But Sirius, who was stepping aside at this moment, couldn't help but murmur in his heart, wondering why Anka's plot advancement seemed to be different from what he had written before?
Could it be that Nalia's early arrival has advanced the development of the plot, causing the war that was originally going to break out in a month to have begun now...
The conversation between Nalia and the commander continued, and he could also get it by listening in. Knowing that this attack was indeed the battle he thought it would be.
But the problem is... without the eldest prince's large army, they really can't defeat him!
