The meeting continues, but sadly it's pointless as time passes.

(If it  was a ...... game, the princess would come on board around protagonist and advocate a two-sided strategy. The difference in strength is so obvious that there is no way to win a proper fight. So the plan is to go on the defensive and beat the emperor with an elite .)

 (Normally, this would be impossible, but with the help of the Seventh Empress, one of the heroines who escaped from Atomus, we find a possibility.)

 (And then Siegfried and his friends invade the imperial capital to defeat the emperor. ......!)

 (But he' s just a rookie knight who hasn't achieved anything because I took away his opportunities and stuff from him...!)

 Yes, originally Siegfried was supposed to get credit for successfully capturing Jex,  leader of the Hungry Wolf Fang, who became Leolde's subordinate. If it was a game, Siegfried would have continued his successes and been recognized by His Majesty and the dukes, but Leolde stolen such option from him

 And because of that, Siegfried is still just a new knight.

 Even if the princess came to the meeting and told them about the two-sided strategy, they would not use Siegfried. After all, he's a rookie knight with no accomplishments to his name.

 (What should I do? Should I advocate a two-pronged strategy? Aaaaah!)

 (If it's a damn ...... game, ...... oh my god!)

  (But this is not a game! This is real life!)

 (I don't know how many times I  was think the same thing!)

 If it  was a game, he thought, his mind would be a mess, but he stood up as if he had made up his mind.

". The difference in strength between the Empire and our country is obvious. So. We will not be able to win if we clash head-on. Therefore, how about a two-pronged strategy?

 "First, we will set up a defense line in Ze'at and hold off the Imperial Army. In the meantime, how about a small group of elites invade the imperial capital and defeat the emperor?"

"Hmm. This is certainly a good plan, but how do you plan to get to the empire ?"

 "The imperial capital must be well protected. It will not be so easy to reach the emperor."

(Of course! I knew that!)

 (This plan can't work without the princess, to be honest!

 After that, some time passed, but other than the two-pronged strategy proposed by Leolde, the only other proposal was to ask for cooperation from the Holy Sea.

 And even if  they cooperate with the Holy Sea , the gap in strength will not be filled to any great extent. The military power of the Empire was that great.

 Also, although Leolde didn't know it yet, the Holy  Sea was demanding Sylvia's custody. The reason for this lies in Sylvia's skills.

 Sylvia's skill, Sacred Warding, as the name suggests, is considered holy.

 That's why the Holy  Sea wanted to welcome Sylvia as a saint in their kingdom.

 So, if they want to ask for help from the Holy Church, they will have no choice but to offer Sylvia.

(If offer Sylvia, the Holy Sea will be on  our side. However, as a parent, ......)

 (If  to think about country, I can hand Sylvia over to the Holy Church and secure our strength.)

 (But then, I don't know what will happen to Sylvia.)

 (Sylvia likes Leolde. No, she loves him.)

 (As a parent, I don't want to do anything that would tear the two of them apart. However, as   meaned earlier, if  we  are going to make the right choice as a king,  I should offer  my daughter and get cooperation from the Holy Sea .)

 The king, troubled as a king and parent, glanced at Leolde.

  He thought that Leolde would be able to do something about it.

 But unfortunately, Leolde  is as much of an amateur as he is when it comes to war. Therefore, he could only make predictions based on the knowledge he gained from the game and the developments. He would not be able to think of a way out.

 Just then, the door to the  meeting room opened with a bang. A bang rang out in the conference room, and everyone in the room turned their heads toward the door.

 The person there was Christina, the third princess.

"Chris! What the hell is going on?"

"Your Majesty. I'm sorry to interrupt this important meeting, but could you please listen to what I have to say?"

"Is there a reason  why you here ?"

"It concerns the current war with the Empire."

"What? What do you mean by that?

 When  he was in trouble, Christina provided  him with important information about this case.

 In fact, the previous emperor was still alive, and the current emperor had been forced to ascend to the throne after a rebellion.

 Therefore, the war could be resolved if only the emperor could be  saved 

 And with the help of the Seventh Empress, who had escaped from the emperor, they could reach him through a secret passage known only to the royal family.

"So, how about a two-pronged strategy?"

"We had an idea about that too. I was just wondering how we could get to the empire , but if the Seventh Empress is willing to help us, it may be possible."

 Christina was surprised that they had already thought of a two-pronged strategy, but she decided that with so many nobles gathered, it was only natural that they would come up with it.

 The king and Christina's talk had given her hope, but there was a slight problem.

"Your Majesty. Do you really believe the words of an enemy princess?"

"Your Highness. We have no other choice. Then what choice do we have but to hope for the best?"

"But what if it's a trap?"

"My friend would never lie to me!"

 Christina was furious at the Prime Minister's words. But the Prime Minister is also right.

 The seventh princess is a member of the empire, so it is possible that she is lying.

 However, there is no need for her to come all the way to the kingdom to tell a lie. Besides, Christina told that she had escaped.

 If that was the case, there was no point in lying at all.

 Leorde, who had only been watching the exchange between the three of them, decided to boldly come to Christina's aid.

"Prime Minister. I agree with Christina. Why don't you trust the Seventh princess ?"

"What! It's like taking a gamble on an issue that may affect the future of the kingdom!"

 "Leolde. What the hell are you thinking!"

"As His Majesty said earlier, the only way left for us is to fight. And it is a battle that we cannot win."

 "However, there is a ray of hope here in the form of the Seventh princess . Then we have no choice but to cling to it."

"I know that, but you won't believe  her so easily!"

"Then what will you do! Do you want to sit here and wait for death!"

 "Or do you want to go out there and hope for the best!"

 "Now is the time to decide, Your Highness!"

"Gu......mu......"

The Prime Minister shuts down under LeoLde's pressure. I understand what Leorde is saying, but I don't agree with it.

 There is no way that the future of the kingdom can be entrusted to the princess of an enemy country.

 However, as Leolde  said, if  they do nothing here,  tey will only be waiting for death. Because of the overwhelming difference in military power, there is no way to win in a fight.

" I'll trust  her Highness's idea."

 The Prime Minister relented, and the two-pronged strategy was decided to taken into action .
