Adonia Grebadia

Age: 24

Martial: 109

Intelligence: 61

Command: 84

An S-class commander is worth a thousand—no, ten thousand soldiers.

That was the kind of man sitting in front of me now, laid low by his recent defeat.

“I wish that I could congratulate you on a battle well fought, but I really can’t. You lost the castle.”

“Who the hell are you?!” yelled Adonia. “A Naruyan dog here to laugh at me?”

“Hey now, I’m no one’s dog. And if I was, I’d have killed you, not stopped to chat.” I shook my head. “I’ve got nothing to do with Naruya. I just came to offer you a word of advice, Adonia Grebadia.”

“Advice?” Adonia gave me a distrustful look.

“Yeah, that’s right. Strong as you are, there are limits to what you can accomplish alone. I know you may hate your father, but without a powerful unit at your command and a capable strategist, you’ll fail to protect the things you could have.”

Adonia rose to his feet, glaring at me. “How do you know about that?! Don’t tell me that father sent you!”

“Nah. I’m just here to offer some advice. Go back to your father. If you want to defend your country, that is.”

Adonia shook his head.

“You call that advice? Don’t make me laugh. Besides, I hear the enemy has an advisor called Valdesca. Garint probably can’t beat that guy. Our battle lines are constantly being pushed back. What’s going to change just because I decide to join in?”

“Well, why’d you come to Jeiran Castle then?”

“I have family in Jeiran. If this place gets taken, Naruyan occupation will put them in danger. I’m going to take my family and run.”

“And abandon your country?” the man asked.

“That’s not—!”

“If you’re there, the situation will change. I guarantee it.”

“That’s big talk, but who even are you?”

“Erhin Eintorian. That’s my name.”

“Huh?” Adonia looked incredibly surprised. “Eintorian...? That’s the name of the king who just started a new kingdom. What would he be doing here? You’re talking bullshit!”

“I came hoping to meet you,” Erhin answered. “You’re absolutely essential to the defense of the Gebel Kingdom. Take your family and go back to your father’s place for now. He’d do well to stay away from the fighting for a while. You might do fine fleeing to another country, but what about your wife and child? Think about it carefully.”

Having said my piece, I turned to go.

Adonia remained silent. He was dumbstruck by what had just happened.

Ultimately, Adonia did as I told him to and returned to the capital with his family.

Duke Plenett would likely accept Adonia’s wife and son, if only to keep him around. Though, the duke could go back on that decision once the war was over. He would probably tell Adonia to keep his current wife as a mistress and take another woman as his real wife.

It doesn’t matter to me if their discord resumes once the war ends.

Obviously, Adonia joining up with the Royal Gebelian Army was not enough to cause any immediate change. Like Adonia had said, Garint wasn’t up to the task of beating Valdesca.
