Chapter 30: The Wandering Princess

News of the fall of Dervankhul and the subsequent invasion of Kuscheperka traveled back to Jaloudek quickly.

The first prince, Carlitos, who was acting in the place of his sick father Bardomelo, sat on the throne in the center of the palace and spoke to the assembled nobles with a pleased look on his intelligent features. “According to the reports, after we gained control of Dervankhul, the rest of Kuscheperka is falling in short order. All of Kuscheperka’s territories will belong to us before long. Once that happens, we will essentially be in control of the entirety of the Occidents. It will be the birth of the greatest nation since the fall of Fadar-Abahden... The rest of those pathetic nations are nothing but gnats before our might.”

A stir ran like a wave through the crowd of lords. Putting together Jaloudek and Kuscheperka (not to mention Lokahl), two nations that were already very large for the Occidents, resulted in a huge country that indeed covered most of the western half of the continent. Ages had passed since the fall of Fadar-Abahden, and finally the dream of once again uniting the western half of the continent was no longer just empty ambition.

“As you all know, we have committed to this course after thorough preparations. Even so, my younger brother Cristobal is acquitting himself admirably. His ferocious temperament makes him worthy to be called Jaloudek’s greatest weapon.” The good mood radiating off of Carlitos rubbed off on the lords arrayed in front of him.

“It sounds like Cris is doing well for himself,” the girl said. “If the occupation is proceeding as planned, things will soon be too much for the boy. As we discussed, I will be heading out to act as his aide in governmental affairs.”

The girl was the king of Jaloudek’s first daughter, Catarina Camilla Jaloudek. Her brother Carlitos put on a wry smile but nevertheless nodded magnanimously. “Indeed. While Cristobal is good at making war, he lacks the talent for rulership. That is why you are needed. Support him well.”

The second son, Cristobal, was naught but a battling fool. That was the common perception of everyone but the man himself. On the other hand, while Catarina wasn’t suited for violence, she was extremely skilled at politics. Her skills were perfect for keeping control of the large amount of territory they’d just gained. Having received such encouragement from her older brother, Catarina curtsied and left.

“With that, the invasion of Kuscheperka should proceed without issue. So, how are the surrounding nations reacting to this?” Carlitos asked.

In response, a man that looked the very picture of a military officer stepped forward. He was the leader of a knight order that had been left behind to defend the homeland. “Roger, I will give my report. There has been chatter amongst those of the Eleven
