There were three bridges to cross the long canal of the Jutland River. It was before the water dragon live in the north of the holy city, during its travel along the waterway, the water dragon was attracted by the refreshing water, and later people build a city along with its path. In the royal capital, which has beautiful scenery due to its harmony with nature, stood a pure white palace with fine blue patterns which made it luxurious and elegant.

Its pillars were so high as if supporting the sky and the ceilings were adorned with murals that depicted dragons and gods. And then past the beautiful hall of the palace, was a meeting room, where a piece of paper, was passed among the royal aide and high rank noble and spread a heavy mood around.

“Don’t f*ck with me! There is no way such absurdity is allowed!”

It was the too inelegant a phrase, especially among the nobility, and yet no one reprimanded the furious noble.

Because all of them agreed with his anger.

“And that was it…how should we proceed…your majesty?”

Together with the prime minister’s words, all eyes gathered toward the king, Sindria VIII.

Even amidst the gazes of the nobles that have been through various schemes and trickery, Sindria VIII did not become disturbed.

“—Conflict is the way of the world. But about Estoll, I still couldn’t comprehend—”

This year he has reached forty-two, but there was no sign of the slightest weakening of his physique. His intelligent eyes looked toward the piece of paper thoroughly.

It was stamped with Estoll King insignia, and packed with roundabout writing, which if simplified would be something like this:

–We Estoll declare war toward the Sindria Kingdom.

“That kingdom was a good allied nation with us for years—just why…?”

Before peace was made between Sindria and the Empire, they fought multiple times and changed borders as many. However, it could be said that none could surpass the Empire for military supremacy.

Although Sindria was a big kingdom, they were aware that if they continue to fight, they would someday fall against the empire. And if the Sindria kingdom alone count no longer contend with the Empire, the next target would be Estoll which was located in the south of the empire or the Seven Nations.

That’s why it could be said that the two kingdoms were actually on the same boat.

“Strengthen the observation of the north—and prepare for war—”

There would be no guarantee that the Empire that currently allied with them would not attack when seeing such an opportunity.

The nobles would gather up their troops and join up with the third knight order. With twenty thousand troops it should be enough to pulverize Estoll according to Sindria VIII’s estimation. The kingdom could mobilize up to two hundred thousand soldiers. But of course, most of them would be conscript so it could not be said they are strong. That said, in war, the number is power. There was no way the kingdom will lose to Estoll.

They still could not understand why Estoll took the stupid decision.

The peace Estoll had, had been cultivated for hundreds of years. And although Estoll king’s capacity was average at best, he was certainly no fool. Sindria VIII remembered he has kind eyes unsuitable as a king during one of the banquets they attended.

“Also make a request to nobles and adventurers—end this quickly—don’t let too much blood spilled—”

Hearing the king’s command, the aide bowed respectfully and started to move.

Among them, one of the nobles asked permission to speak respectfully.

“Your majesty, I have an idea of a person that we could make use—”

Sindria VIII looked at him.

“Let me hear it.”

“Yes. It was the one who has been made a name during the Dragon-Demon conflict in Trade City—the name was, Nacht.”
