About half a day before Ronan left the castle, Valdesca, having left the capture of Lynon Castle to the Second and Third Armies, had advanced at a breakneck pace to reach the front of Runan Castle. Without Erhin around to interfere, he meant to seize the castle, bringing the heart of Runan under his control.

“We will spend a day here, laying out a great camp to demonstrate the splendor of our forces, but I forbid any further pillaging of the Runanese people.” These were Valdesca’s orders to the First Army, which he commanded, with Runan Castle in sight.

This was one of the frightening things about Valdesca: he, too, saw the importance of public opinion. There was no country without its people, after all. Tyrannizing those who would soon become citizens of his nation would only serve to weaken it.

On top of his superior intellect, he also had advanced techniques that made use of mana circles, the fame of heading one of the Twelve Continental Houses, and a power of command that was born of his good character. The man seemed perfect, but he was also humble, not known to boast of his own prowess.

“Your Highness!”

He had his shortcomings, of course. He’d nearly fallen from his horse as he attempted to dismount just now. He’d been getting on and off of horses since he was just a young child and he didn’t have especially slow reflexes, so it shouldn’t have been difficult for him. Yet he could be awfully clumsy when it came to actually doing things. Perhaps people found that side of him relatable, though, because it only served to make him more popular.

“Sorry. I’m all right,” he told Patrick, his lieutenant, as the man rushed to his side, then adjusted his posture and gazed in the direction of Runan Castle.

This was the castle he’d failed to take in the last war. It gave him such a rush to have it in his sight now. However, he was still rather concerned about Erhin’s movements. Despite how quickly they’d taken Runan Castle, he wasn’t doing all that much about it. That was actually more troublesome.

What in the world are you thinking? What’s your aim? Isn’t it to usurp the throne by retaking Runan? Is it because we let the King of Runan escape?

“Wham!”

Ultimately, Valdesca did the same thing he always did when he was agonizing over something. He slammed his forehead into a nearby tree.

“Your Highness! Stop that! You’ll cut your forehead again!”

Patrick and the soldiers hurriedly rushed toward him, but Valdesca raised a hand gesturing for them to stay back.

“Don’t mind me. Has Eintorian made any move?”

“None yet, as far as our information shows, Your Highness.”

It irritated Valdesca that, although the war was going smoothly, there was still someone out there who could make him uneasy. “Well, it’s fine,” he said. “For now...we’ll set it aside and deal with Runan Castle. If things go as I predict, it will have emptied out by nightfall.”

The reason Valdesca had made camp in sight of the castle instead of just attacking was to give them time to flee.
