Chapter 5: In the Galarc Kingdom

Three days had passed since the battle with Erica. Everyone that had gone to Duke Gregory’s territory had now returned to the capital of the Galarc Kingdom.

It was the afternoon, and King Francois had been invited by Charlotte into the mansion that had formerly been bestowed upon Rio. The purpose of his visit was to discuss things with Satsuki, Celia, and the others gathered in the dining room.

Besides Francois and Charlotte, the others in attendance were Satsuki, Miharu, Celia, Latifa, Sara, Orphia, Alma, Gouki, and Kayoko. Liselotte had also been invited, as well as Masato and Lilianna.

Leading the gathering was Charlotte.

“Ever since we’ve returned to the capital, I have been investigating the strange sense of loss and discomfort that has been plaguing all of us,” she said. “As a result, I’ve found things that provide answers, and things that raise more questions. Today, I’d like to discuss these things with everyone and hear your thoughts, which is why I’ve invited Father and arranged this meeting.”

“Excuse me.” First Princess Lilianna of the Centostella Kingdom raised her hand to seek permission to speak.

“Yes?”

“Is this something I should be sitting in on?”

Sensing that they were about to touch upon the troublesome secrets of this foreign country, Lilianna sought some necessary clarification. If they continued to speak before her after this clarification, then she couldn’t be held responsible for learning their secrets.

“Yes. Do you recall the banquet where Lady Satsuki was revealed to the public? I wish to ask for your account of that event as well.”

“I understand. In that case, I shall remain.”

“Now, let’s get straight to business.” Charlotte spread out a sheet of paper on the table before her. Those seated farther away couldn’t make out the text, but all their gazes focused on that sheet.

“What’s this paper for, Char?” Satsuki wondered, peering at the text.

“This is the national archive of the Kingdom of Galarc. Or rather, the draft of it.”

“National archive?” Masato, Satsuki, and Miharu all looked confused at the unfamiliar term.

Charlotte gave them a brief explanation of the topic. “A national archive is an official record of the history of the kingdom. It’s normally drafted by an official that specializes in the details of history and penned by a secretary, but the final decision on what gets recorded lies with the king. There have been occasions where the king personally wrote the draft of the national archives.”

“So what was wrong with the archives?” Satsuki asked.

“This paper contains the events of what happened before the recent battle. It was written before our departure at Father’s official request, as seen by the mark of the royal stamp.”

“What does it say...?”

“In short, our kingdom was invaded by the Holy Democratic Republic of Erica, which seized the capital of Duke Gregory’s territory. The leader of this nation is one of the chosen heroes—a self-proclaimed saint that goes by the name Erica. With Lady Satsuki’s endorsement, our kingdom dispatched the army to recapture the city. As the king, Father was to command the army.
