Chapter 278: Grand Coalition
* * *
A strong tension was looming over the castle’s meeting room. All of the generals present were completely silent. Queen Henrietta let out a sigh while everyone else was gloomy.
“I am sorry. They one-upped us.”
Leader Elizabeth shook her head.
“There is no one here who should be sorry. I am also at fault for not seeing through the other party’s intent…….”
There was an unusual scene in the meeting room. The table was split in half with the chief retainers of Brittany sitting at one side while 20 magic orbs were displaying a combined image on the other. It almost looked as if the chief retainers of the Habsburg Republic were seated there.
Henrietta suppressed the frustration that was surging up as she spoke.
“Rudolf von Habsburg. Elizabeth, is he actually alive?”
“……Honestly, there is no way to know. Nonetheless, it is widely known that Barbatos is talented in black magic. Controlling a corpse is probably a simple matter for her.”
