Several hours later, before noon, a number of Beltrum’s enchanted airships landed on the lake beside Cleia, the capital of the Claire territory.

Led by Charles, the Beltrum army’s knights and soldiers marched straight into the city and made their way to the Count’s estate. They entered the estate without any warning and rudely threw open the front door of the mansion.

“Count Claire! Count Claire!” Charles yelled from the entrance.

“What’s all this commotion about?” Count Roland Claire appeared before them. He took one glance at Charles, the armed knights, andReiss and Renji behind them.

“Well this is a rather showy gathering,” Roland sighed with a frown.

“Where is your wife?” Charles demanded, getting straight to the matter at hand without any greeting. It was an extremely rude act towards any noble, be it a lower noble or someone as high ranked as Count Claire. One would have no right to complain if they were told to leave. However, there weren’t many nobles who could stand up to Charles.

Roland paused. “Why do you ask?” he asked after a moment.

This seemed to convince Charles that Roland was worried for his wife. “I’ve heard that your wife is a skilled healer. There’s an important figure in need of emergency treatment. Your wife is being summoned to the capital to treat them,” he said in a pleasant tone.

Roland’s expression stiffened. “I thought you were aware that my wife has been in poor health since birth?”

“Of course I am aware. But we will be sending her by airship. I believe you said her ailment wasn’t a life-threatening disease, merely one that makes her feel unwell, no? This is an emergency; she can endure a little discomfort,” Charles declared brazenly. His insensitive words showed no understanding of the congenital disorder Monica was afflicted with.

“Even the shaking of the ship is too much for her when her condition is poor,” Roland said calmly, his brow furrowed.

“Are you saying she’s in poor condition right now?”

“No, but her condition could worsen in transit. Couldn’t you bring them to the mansion?”

“Impossible. The patient is even weaker than that. Your wife absolutely has to be the one to go to the capital.”

“We’re getting nowhere like this...”

“No, this decision is final. If you refuse...” Charles implicitly threatened Roland with forcefully seizing his wife if he refused to hand her over.

“I see. In that case, I have no choice.” Roland backed down reluctantly.

“Hmph.” Charles smirked triumphantly. But for someone so well-known for being a devoted husband, Roland had accepted the situation rather easily.

If someone familiar with Roland’s temperament were here right now, they would probably find his reaction odd. Normally, Roland would have raged and revolted against Charles the moment he declared he was bringing Monica to the capital. Sure enough...

“However, I’m afraid I am unable to hand her over to you,” Roland said with a shrug.

“You’re refusing after all? We are prepared to use force to some degree...”

“You can use force, but my wife isn’t at home right now.”

Charles tilted his head, unable to comprehend what he said.
