Chapter 1

“Let me see. Considering the atmospheric conditions, terrain, and season... Felicia, we should focus on ships to keep the front supplied! We won’t have any storms to worry about!”

“Understood, Tina. In that case, I’ll pull the wagons that free up from the capital sieges and use them to support people asking for shelter. Ellie, check these papers!”

“Y-Yes’m! I’ll give it my best!”

Fireday morning, the start of a new week, found the Ducal House of Leinster’s great council hall in the southern capital resounding with the shouts of girls. Several days had passed since Tina Howard, Stella Howard, Ellie Walker, and I, Lynne Leinster, had come here from the east in pursuit of our tutor, Allen, and my elder sister, Lydia Leinster.

We believed that my dear brother was currently in the city of water, the core of the League of Principalities. But even on griffin-back, it was impossible to travel there and back from the southern capital. So we had thrown our efforts into logistical support, hoping to speed the capture of the capital of Atlas, which lay to the southwest of our present location and nearer to the city of water. Since we had reached that decision, this hall had become our new battlefield, in a manner of speaking. However...

A sigh escaped me as I surveyed Tina, Ellie, and Felicia Fosse. My platinum-haired peer in a white military uniform was reading and dashing off papers at a superhuman rate. The blonde girl dressed as a maid and the buxom, bespectacled girl in military uniform were processing an endless stream of documents.

I couldn’t help wondering if there was such a thing as going too far above and beyond. And I wasn’t alone, if the murmurs of the logisticians were anything to go by.

“Is predicting the weather really as easy as she makes it look?”

“Miss Fosse looks so dashing. Be still, my heart.”

“How do we handle the reallocation of ships and wagons?”

“The paperwork is already making the rounds!”

“So that’s the young Miss Walker.”

“O G-Great Moon...”

One odd comment aside, the representatives of all the southern houses were clearly rattled. My personal maid in training, Sida Stinton, had even started to pray.

Felicia was physically frail at the best of times, but she was wielding her pen at breakneck speed, making steady inroads into the paperwork. My dear grandfather, Duke Emeritus Leen Leinster, had appointed her acting inspector general of logistics, which made her the highest-ranking person present.

Tina touched the clip in the front of her hair as she immersed herself in thought, then slid a paper to one side. “Ellie, tell me if there’s anything wrong with these calculations.”

“Y-Yes’m! Um...” Tina’s personal maid took the paper, ran her eyes over it, and nodded. “All correct!”

How could she possibly have checked them that quickly?

My best friends’ and former upperclassman’s performance was giving me a headache. “Never mind Felicia,” I muttered under my breath, fiddling with a lock of my red hair, “but I never dreamed Tina and Ellie could do all this.”

Tina was a duke’s daughter, just like I was, and I got better grades than Ellie at the Royal Academy.
