A lone girl walked across the battlefield. Her hair rippled in the wind as she walked. Beneath it were two round ears.

Angelica Sacramenta, next in line to the throne of the Tyrelme Holy Empire, was attending the battle that day. Her post, however, was in the rear guard’s camp far from the fighting.

It was Angelica’s responsibility to defend the camp while commanding a force of several hundred. Defending the rear guard sounded like an important task, but it was actually an easygoing role that left her with nothing to do.

“Phew...”

She’d declared her force elite and made her men train each day, but she’d been forced to give her soldiers a defensive role that she could only describe as boring. They were defending the camp in name only. It was morning, but already they’d run out of tasks.

That was unsurprising, because the rear guard wasn’t truly using this as their main camp—that was already being dismantled.

In the battle three days earlier, the crusade force that Angelica belonged to had clashed with the long-eared forces.

Those people—the others—were referred to as demons or devils within the sphere of Yeesusdom, but Angelica stuck to what her father had taught her and insisted on calling them long-eareds.

With the long-eared forces already defeated, the crusader army was advancing. The advance was taking place at full speed, so they could eliminate as many of the fleeing soldiers as possible in the process. In the meantime, any mercenaries who’d survived the battle were busy pillaging the surrounding settlements. It all meant that the main camp needed moving quickly.

Each nation had mobilized a provisions company to carry a simple tent for their generals and enough food for each day. In other words, as their armies were marching far ahead, each nation was dismantling the camp they’d put together for the sake of the battle they’d already won.

Naturally, any violent men who prided themselves on their strength and were eager for a good fight had left the camp long ago. There wasn’t much left here to defend.

Angelica hadn’t been given an opportunity to take part in the battle. She’d been left to sit here, idle after the defensive duties had been forced on her.

Despite being here for the war, she wouldn’t share in the spoils of pillaging because she hadn’t taken part in the fighting. If there was any glory to be gained, it was a distant light that Angelica and her forces could never reach.

“Now follow me as my attendant. I’ll be going to look at the Papal State’s camp again today.”

“Yes, Lady Ange!” The knight kneeled before her.

Those who’d looked down on Angelica for being a woman or tried to assault her when she was unguarded were already gone. Any such people who still remained were no threat because they were badly wounded enough to be sent to the rear. It almost felt safe for her to walk around alone now, but she wouldn’t take that risk.

Angelica’s elder brother, Alfred Sacramenta, was trying to assassinate her.

He’d attempted to poison her more than once.
