Chapter 218

Return

" Finally, the Twil's country sent troops to attack our borders . The war starts . . . "

At my mother's words, my head got dyed white .

. . . so it starts . . .

"Mother . . . is that information accurate?"

Sorry, that I asked such a question . . . it's hard to believe . .

My mother smiles bitterly at me .

"It is unavoidable to think so, but unfortunately, the fact is that the report that said, the Twil's military had movement came from my father, now my father is dealing with the royal palace so as to prepare to defend . . . I'm going to check on the progress of the preparations . . . and . . . it's a confirmation, I am preparing for going to the war with them, perhaps, I will have to leave tomorrow . "

"So fast!"

"The movement of Twil's country seems to be faster than what we expected, the more we prolong our movement, the heavier the load on the new appointed Baron who's in charge of defending that area, and if a battalion escaped the defense of the Baron, with the current power of the western region . . . We can not defend the territory . . . I will come back in the blink of an eye, that's why I have to hurry, even if it is impossible, I will push through it . "

"I see . . . "

In places I don't know about, the world progresses more and more . . .

And that big wave will make this country progress even if it doesn't want to .

I thought about the territory . . . and what course of actions I should take . . .

"Is father also in the palace?"

"Well, because he's awaiting the First Prince decision, but . . . now he has not yet recovered enough to endure a long trip . . . so he'll be back from the palace and await here with you . . "

"That's right . . "

"Perhaps because of my father, he wanted to be in the royal palace for a while, so as to complete the role of the prime minister, no matter how I tried stop him from doing so . . . "

My mother hurriedly hid her eyes of worry after saying it . . .

" . . . Mother . . . "

" . . . . . . It's no use crying over spilt milk . I respect my husband . . . only that he needs to be careful . . . "

But at the next moment, she said that and smiled .

"So what do you plan to do Iris?"

" . . . I will return to the territory as originally planned . "

"Oh . . . "

My mother is watching over my reply whether it was true or I had another intention .

"If everyone remains in the capital, someone needs to tend to the territory, it would be better for me to return . If I speak about what I can do to help with the situation . . . I can gather information, and send it to father or Bern . There are still a lot of things that I can do if I return to the territory before the war starts . Also . . As I left the territory, no one has the right to direct in my place and the uneasy under this circumstance will start to propagate in the people . When the news of war reach there . . . I will need to prepare for if unforeseen problems appear . "

" . . . Yes, it's like that Iris, well thought!"

My mother was listening to me with a soft expression, but the moment she opened her mouth, her face changed .

That's a face I never saw before .

It's really scary and dead serious .

I was horrified one time, when little I once knocked down Bern within the mansion and mother got angry, but for some reason now it feels a lot more scary .

"Our territory is far away from the Twil's country, but . . . I do not know what will happen at wartime, if there's something like a fighting appearing out of nowhere, you must call me! . "

I feel strange about the words of mother .

When I'm in conflict, call mother . . . . ?

It's true that mother is strong, I already heard from my uncle, and although Rudy is always saying such things as the heroic acts of my mother on battle . . . honestly, I can not imagine my mother being on the battlefield .

However, I can't question her .

Because I felt a strong pressure from my mother .

" . . . Okay, I certainly will . "

My mother finally seemed to released that pressure on me at my reply .

Then, I ordered Tanya to make preparations to return, and went to the room to calm my mind .

. . . Finally, the feared time has come . . .

Ed, the Marquis, the Queen and Yuri were captured .

And Dean already replaced all the people near them and is building a new regime .

Anyway, his faction doesn't need to be strong or with big numbers, because capable talent were gathered .

Rather, there is even a possibility that his promoting new talents are better than the old and our country is better now than before .

But whether domestic peace can be accomplished perfectly . . . There's not enough time to know yet .

Speaking of peace, our country needs a strong unity with my grandfather, the general of the army .

" . . . . . . Lady . All preparations have been completed . "

Tanya came in with a knocking sound and reported so .

"Oh, it's quite early, is not it?"

"We were already preparing before you told us lady . "

By the way, I intended to leave when the meeting was over .

Though there are various things to do here too, but I don't remember any task that needs to be urgently completed before returning .

"Then, I will return now . . . and before that, call everyone please . "

Tanya nodded at my words and started moving instantly .

She also seems to know of the current circumstances .

Instantly, Lyle and Dida were standing in front of me .

" . . . I will go straight to the point, war is starting, Twil's country has sent the army to attack us"

At my words, their eyes turned sharp .

"We'll return to our immediate area and start the preparations for emergency . . . the situation is progressing faster than we thought"

" . . . Do you think that there will be risk over the territory?"

"Yes, definitely"

They didn't hesitate to affirm it .

At the same time, I feel that the tension in this place has increased .

Now it is terribly uncomfortable .

"Of course, I pray for my grandfather's victory, but no matter what may happen . . . Even if there is no direct battles in the territory, the fear of the people will not subside . . . That's why . . we need to be prepared . . . "

The three of them nodded with my words .

" . . . . . . Because of that, I must be there to show the way, as I keep standing in any situation to support them . . . that's what a lord must do . . . I will return at full speed to calm the people . "

Then we immediately went back to the territory .
