All the nobles were floored by their young queen. Even though they were originally minor in rank, they were still hardened veterans of many battles. And though they respected their queen, they’d still underestimated her somewhere in their hearts. They’d considered her just someone there to lend them legitimacy through her blood. But this changed all that. The queen had shown them the way to completely return New Kuscheperka to its rightful glory. That was the effect of her decision.

“With that in mind, I would like to request something of you, Sir Ernesti,” she continued. “We will now be challenging Jaloudek to a decisive battle. When that happens...”

“The drake will surely make an appearance,” Ernie finished.

Eleonora seemed a little hesitant, but she still nodded clearly. “Even if we retake the capital and bring down the Central Protectorate Government, we will still be in danger so long as the drake exists. This will be the same as Micilie... We will be acting as decoys.”

Though she said that, this situation was actually very different from the battle of Micilie. Back then, Jaloudek had been conceited, and there had been a weakness for the Kuscheperkans to exploit. But now, things were different. They would be going for their enemy’s headquarters, which would likely be fiercely defended. This gamble was rigged against them from the start.

Even so, Ernie did not hesitate. “I understand. Everything will be done as you will, Your Majesty. Since that’s the case, I will be using the levitating ship. I believe using a large force against the drake would be a bad plan, so Ikaruga and I will be facing it with a small force.”

“Will your levitating ship make it in time for the battle, Sir Ernesti?” Eleonora asked.

“I swear I will make it so, on the Order of the Silver Phoenix’s name, even if we have to work while we fly,” declared Ernie. With that, it was decided that the order’s knightsmiths would be seeing hell.

Eleonora nodded, but then her expression clouded slightly. “As the ruler of Kuscheperka, I...have no choice but to entrust the fate of this country to you, a boy from another nation... It is shameful.”

“Please don’t mind it, Your Majesty.” Ernie had the most dangerous and most important role in this. Even so, he smiled a smile like a blooming flower, as if the situation had nothing to do with him. “I need to prove that my Ikaruga and my silhouette knights are better than some levitating ship. That is why I wish to see that thing sink as well. I will put everything I have toward making it drop from the sky.”

A fanatic zeal seeped through his smile. It was enough to make even Eleonora, who was asking this of him, feel some fear. She felt some out-of-place relief all of a sudden, thinking that it was lucky that his madness and her nation’s aims were in accord.

That was how New Kuscheperka put into play their unprecedented strategy of not protecting their own lands.

After the meeting ended, an excessively happy Ernie called his order to assemble.
