Chapter 43: The Queen’s Expedition in Force

Steel footsteps rang out as the ground shook with the movement of heavy objects. This noise, so loud it seemed like it would destroy the hearing of anyone too close, was repeated hundreds of times over and almost seemed like an earthquake.

At this moment, in front of the gates of New Kuscheperka’s capital of Fontanie, a large force of silhouette knights was assembling. Some were Lesvant Viedes, spellfire-specialized silhouette knights also referred to as tower knights. Some were Laevantias, the kingdom’s cutting-edge silhouette knight and the main backbone of its army. These two models were the core of this assembled force, a knight order serving Kuscheperka’s ruler—in other words, they were the royal guard.

This force was so large it completely covered the land along the city’s walls. Anyone seeing this scene would never assume that the kingdom was backed into a corner. The improvement of knightsmith skills and technology granted by the implementation of silhouette gears allowed them to manufacture things much faster, allowing this force to approach the size of old Kuscheperka’s army.

Eventually, the silhouette knights stopped flooding in. The land stopped shaking, leaving only the silhouette knights’ gentle exhaust. The softly flowing wind swept away the dust thrown up by their movement. Brilliant light shined from the orderly lines of these machines. Behind them was another that had calmly passed through Fontanie’s gates—the royal silhouette knight, the king’s unit that was once thought to have been lost. To be more accurate, though, it wasn’t the actual royal knight. The original had indeed been lost when the previous king died, so the one here was a recreation: a successor named Cartoga Ol Kuschere II.

The silhouette knights knelt at once, taking parking positions. Their torso armors opened up, and the knight runners inside revealed themselves, standing up straight atop the platforms created by the open armors. In response to the knights who came out to greet their lord, Cartoga Ol Kuschere II stopped with a dignified air and opened up its torso armor as well. Everyone’s gazes gathered toward the royal knight—on the figure that appeared from it. The royal knight existed purely for the nation’s ruler. So it was natural to assume that the one inside would be Queen Eleonora.

The knights stared intensely at the queen, who indeed appeared from the opening. Yet the girl before them did not seem like she had been raised like a flower in a greenhouse, there only to be loved and cherished. She wasn’t wearing her usual luxurious dress but something clearly meant for combat: light armor that was likely the same as that worn by knight runners, intended to soften impacts. Her beauty, likened to that of an exquisite flower and praised throughout the Occidents, had been cast in a shadow brought on by all the fear and worry. However, in its place was a strong, newfound will. She was like a wildflower, blooming proudly in nature with all its supple strength. There was no longer
