Side Story – Memories of a Certain Princess (44)
After bringing the imperial order to Ast allowing him to take any action he wanted in this war, Ast really started going wild.
“What? If that place gets destroyed, will the people’s food supply not become insufficient? What does that have to do with us? Rather, wouldn’t it be very good if future enemies become hungry and have no strength left to fight?”
When the others began objecting to his plan to turn the enemy’s major food production area into a sea of fire, Ast tilted his head with a twisted posture.
“Oh my, these stuffy people… We didn’t come here to play or not to fight a war, did we? It would be great if everyone could become happy, but we should take care of ourselves first. It’s you before others, isn’t it?”
Even when Renia argued that he was going too far, Ast cleanly ignored her. No, he started pushing even harder.
“Officer Renia, what a good point. As expected, you are different from me who only has a honorary knighthood in name. You are an excellent knight who knows the virtues of a true knight. But you know what? Anyway, if a war drags on, the war fighters are bound to go crazy. An army is not a normal group. Think about it normally. Other than assassins or evil organizations, where else officially kills people? Say it proudly. Nowhere. The only ones who can legally kill others in broad daylight are soldiers and executioners who execute convicts.”
Ast sat down at an even more twisted angle in his chair.
