The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

70 – Revenge (2)

After Yuna became the king of Helia, things went smoothly.

Even though Eric left, there were still capable nobles around Yuna.

And it was largely because she had purged nobles like the 1st Prince faction in advance, and because Director Mernis, who executed it, was on her side.

Not only the power of the knights, but also the power of King Yuuna was unrivaled on the continent, so there were no immediate problems with her rule.

It meant that there were no nobles who opposed her.

It was partly because she was an outstanding ruler, but fear of her past self and her immense power may also have played a role.

“The empire’s movements are still the same. It is safe to say that they are truly preparing for war. First of all, preparations were required from neighboring countries and lords… ”

The only thing that was at stake was the movement of the empire.

They were now gathering their military power as if they were going to start a real war.

The relationship between Helia and the Empire was still gentle. Therefore, it was an action that was even more incomprehensible.

Moreover, they have already witnessed Yuuna’s power. To be honest, even though Yuna couldn’t beat the empire, it didn’t seem like she would lose.

It was a war that brought no benefit to either country. There was no way the empire would fight such a war.

Moreover, they had no justification.

If a war like this really broke out on the continent, the guardians of balance might move.

“under… Let’s watch a little more… It can’t be done. “I will send a letter to the Empire.”

It was impossible to just watch any longer.

Instead, Yuna wrote a letter. It was for the purpose of reflecting on one’s intentions.

All they had to do was point their blades at Helya. It could have been something that happened inside the empire.

Based on common sense, the probability of a war with the empire was low, but for some unknown reason, I continued to feel anxious.

“It may not be for the war against Helia. “Be prepared, but don’t be too hasty.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“All right.”

The ministers answer Yuna’s words.

‘It’ll be okay… going to be. Because when you think logically, it is a war that has no reason to happen. Even if it happens, the guardians of balance will move.’

Yuna remained silent for a moment and calmed her anxious mind.

It was a war that had no reason to happen. That was clearly true.

However, one thing.

‘If there is a traitor among these… ?’

A possibility that had not been considered. Suddenly, such a possibility flashed through Yuna’s mind.

If there is a traitor.

If there is someone who is truly preparing for betrayal like Duke Ceramide did in the past in order to destroy Helia.

“majesty?”

“no. Let’s continue.”

Feeling chilled by the possibility that came to mind for a moment, she shook her head.

It couldn’t be like that. In the first place, as she had experienced the betrayal of the Ceramide Duke family in the past, she was keeping a thorough watch on her country’s nobles.

There was no reason to be betrayed like the incompetent King Regius of the past.

In the first place, Yuuna, as the king, rose on his own without relying on a large family like the Ceramide Duke family, so there was no reason for him to be deceived by them.

That’s right, the reason Regius was so vainly betrayed by all the nobles in the past was because he trusted Ceramide.

This was because I had too much faith in Ceramide, who had contributed to the founding of the company and had been loyal to it for a long time.

There was no reason for King Regius to foolishly not monitor the nobles in the past. Perhaps Duke Ceramide was cleverly blocking the king’s eyes and ears.

Yuuna had no family or people to rely on like Regius in the past.

Therefore, there was no need to get stabbed in the back by the person who trusted and trusted the most.

All things considered, it was certain. There was no possibility of betrayal. Because there was no one she believed in.

No, if I were to be specific, it would be wizards including Eric and one more…

‘Eric has already entered the magic tower, and the remaining one… ‘

“… ?”

Yuuna turned her head and looked up at Beryl, who was guarding her back.

The only person he trusts, other than Eric, who has supported him as a fellow wizard from the past.

If not for him, there was no one else to stab Yuna in the back. Because she didn’t trust anyone in the first place.

And Beryl had absolutely no reason to betray. There was no particular reason, but it was like that.

In the first place, because he was a commoner orphan, there was no foundation or reason to betray him, and there was no foundation to help him.

And above all, the feelings he expressed towards himself were sincere. Yuna felt that way.

“… ”

Yuna looked at him for a moment and then turned her head again.

And I was sure.

There was no chance of being betrayed. There was no one who would betray him.

Aside from Eric, the only person he trusted without the slightest doubt was Beryl, and he would never betray himself.

If he was betrayed, it would mean that he was as incompetent as King Regius of the past.

It probably means that he is a stupid and foolish person to the point of being betrayed by the nobleman he trusted the most.

But he is different.

They say history repeats itself, but my own history was different from Regius.

Just like that time, just like that day.

Yuna had no idea that she would suffer such a heartbreaking betrayal.

From noble mtl dot com

The only thing she trusts is Beryl. Because there was only one knight of his own.

“W-what… “

The royal ministers’ fists were shaking when they saw the letter returned from the empire.

What came back in the letter sent from Helia to gauge the empire’s intentions was a picture.

“This… This is a clear provocation! How can he suddenly change his attitude like this? ”

A picture of a giant bird breaking its wings and trampling them. It was also related to the founding myth of the empire.

It was one of their ways of declaring war, and it meant crushing a nation that was just beginning to soar.

In other words, it meant that Helia would no longer be allowed to rise.

As it has been shown so far, it was war.

“I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to prepare.”

“but… The damage will be enormous. There is no benefit to either party at all… ”

“So are you going to avoid it? The Empire has already made up its mind. It’s not like we have anything else to wish for. “There is no other way but to fight.”

As Yuna said, there was no way.

From their perspective, the empire’s declaration of war would not be understandable. It was a clash of two great powers, and both could possibly suffer irreparable wounds.

“why… ”

The ministers were still clenching their fists with an expression of not understanding.

Of course you won’t understand. Even if you look at it objectively, there was no reason for the empire to start a war.

In fact, the Empire also had no intention of going all out with Helia.

I was informed that if they did not see a clear victory as I said, they would withdraw.

If that happens, they will be hostile to Helia. From the empire’s perspective, it was a gamble.

One could have thought that the 1st princess’ contribution was great. I don’t know why, but I feel like she’s pushing me from the inside.

And if this succeeds, the empire may achieve its long-awaited unification of the continent.

It was a war that started for various reasons.

“Perhaps the Guardians of Balance can move. “We will be at odds with the Empire, but we will not suffer much damage.”

“Okay… There might be a chance. No, it is an absurd war that I can only imagine would happen.”

Normally, at this point, you might suspect a traitor within you.

But they won’t be able to find it. You wouldn’t be able to tell that this was started by just one knight who was a commoner and an orphan.

Moreover, since he is trusted by Yuna, it will be even more difficult to suspect him. Because she doesn’t doubt me.

This was possible thanks to a special situation in which a powerful wizard named Yuuna took up a significant portion of the nation’s power.

In fact, if Yuna wasn’t a wizard, she wouldn’t have been able to come up with the method.

“We cannot undo what has already happened. First of all, we have to do our best.”

The ministers sighed and nodded at Yuna’s resolute words.

It will be a war so great that it will be remembered in history. It came along a very long stream.

I just watched Yuna’s back as usual.

“Beryl. “They said a war would start.”

“That’s right.”

“What do you think? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand why the Empire fought. “There have been many cases in the past where we defeated countries that were rapidly rising, but in the case of Helia, they are on a different level.”

“… That’s right.”

Haas also had doubts about this war.

Not only that, but the entire knighthood was in an uproar. It’s been a long time since we’ve been at war, but it’s an all-out war with the empire.

“… Rather, Lia. “Are you okay?”

“… “What do you mean?”

“You don’t look well these days. Even if we go to war like this. “Why don’t you apply for rear support now?”

Although the first prince did not become king, he was an excellent commander.

It was clear that Lia would have to follow him into battle.

However, she is pregnant, and in fact, the knights have been doing poorly recently.

I wasn’t saying this because I was particularly worried about her.

In any case, the revenge against Director Mernis will proceed as is. And it will also drive her into despair.

In some ways, she had no direct connection to Regius. Therefore, I did not want to see her participate in a difficult war while pregnant.

“… no. Okay.”

But she said she would participate in the battlefield even with a rotten expression on her face.

There was no need to stop him any further.

Like I said, I didn’t particularly feel sympathy for her or feel guilty.

“Hmm… Be careful though, Lia! “You’ve been looking bad lately.”

“… I get it.”

If we were to judge the timing, she would have been in her 6th month of pregnancy.

In fact, it made no sense to lead that body and live the knightly life as it is now.

Despite her stubbornness, in the end, Director Mernis personally ordered her to stand by in the rear.

This order was probably given because he also knew about Lia’s situation.

In the meantime, does he still want to protect his daughter?

It seemed like they still thought the 1st Prince was the culprit, but they didn’t reveal that fact.

He probably still has a lot to worry about. Because he was Helia’s loyalist to his core.

And you can’t just release a video like that of Lia.

So, it seemed like the plan was to put Lia in the rear and have her take care of herself.

In fact, whether knowingly or unknowingly, Captain Mernis had been giving various orders to temporarily keep Lia away from the Knights.

But every time that happened, Lia protested strongly and remained in her position as an escort.

Somehow, she was able to hide her protruding belly and maintain her pride as a knight until the end.

Even though I couldn’t understand Lia’s appearance like that, it was enough to make me respect her.

And this time she protested, and ended up going to battle.

Knowing her situation, I felt a little sorry for her, but I didn’t care.

Even though she knew she would be fighting with her baby in her womb, she didn’t feel any guilt.

Because it was something I had already prepared myself for. I have long since let go of the guilt.

Lia would fall into deeper despair with that choice.

That, too, was none of my business.

Because I was just giving back to this disgusting place exactly what I had received. Because I was just doing my job.

… So the expedition finally arrived.

I was still watching Yuna’s back.
