Chapter 3: How to Take Advantage of an Alliance

After they had completely subjugated the Herald Kingdom and made it part of their own territory, the Royal Naruyan Army took three months to reconstitute and gather another grand army of two hundred thousand men.

Before them stood their young monarch, King Cassia, with Frann Valdesca and the Ten Commanders awaiting his command.

“Our forces will now advance into the Gebel Kingdom! The chief of staff for our entire army will be Duke Frann Valdesca!”

Valdesca bowed his head deeply at this proclamation. With full command over the entire army, that made him second only to Cassia himself.

There had been rumors among the nobility that Valdesca was “finished” after his loss to Eintorian. However, in this most recent attack on Herald, he had foreseen every move the enemy would make, and he’d taken absolute control of the battlefield. This had won him an overwhelming victory, along with renewed recognition of his talents.

“Furthermore, we will deploy all but three of the Ten Commanders! Our defeat is an impossibility! Trample them underfoot with the full might of our forces!”

“Yeaaaaaaaaahhh!”

The crowd erupted into ear-shattering applause.

As soon as Medelian got home, she was dragged off to the new border with the Gebel Kingdom in former Herald territory. She had been unable to defy her brother’s warning that, “If you don’t come immediately, then I really will throw you out of the house.”

Her brother had raised her after they’d lost their parents at a young age. That made him both a brother and a father to her. She didn’t want to slight him. But Medelian still wanted to prioritize her own feelings.

There was one issue with the way Valdesca had raised her—he had coddled her far too much.

On arriving at the battlefront, Medelian was immediately appointed commanding officer of the vanguard unit in the First Army of the Royal Naruyan Army.

The vanguards had an important role. They would be the first to go into the Gebel Kingdom and secure a route of advancement for their allies. It was a mission reserved for the strongest commander.

“Hey, bro, do I really have to? I’ve got other stuff I wanna do!”

However, Medelian was less than enthused by the current conflict. She’d found something far more interesting than this boring war. So, after the king had assigned her to the vanguard, Medelian had gone to visit her brother every single day. During these daily chats, she would walk around and around him in circles, complaining all the while.

“Don’t ignore me!” she exclaimed. “Your adorable little sister’s talking to you!”

Valdesca sighed. This was the umpteenth time he was having to endure this exchange.

Obviously, their conversation was nothing like a discussion between the chief of staff and the commanding officer of the First Army’s vanguards should have been. By appealing to the fact that she was his adorable little sister, Medelian had already dragged this from an official complaint into the realm of a personal one.

Faced with this behavior, Valdesca slammed his head onto the table in front of him.
