Chapter 724: Her Sweet Maids
They even wondered if they heard her right.
[Does Her Majesty understand what her words mean? It’s going to war with Crux.]
"His Majesty had already decreed this. We will follow his decision and attack if Crux still does not free all the Prudencians they are keeping. Before His Majesty left, he had assigned the Grand Commander to lead the attack and secure our people. A number of mages from the Magic Tower will also accompany them to ensure that our people are recovered safely," Arabella clarified.
The Grand Commander of the Imperial Knights bowed and confirmed Arabella’s claim by showing a badge of authority Ferdinand had given him as proof that he was indeed the one who would lead the war with Crux.
Alwin also nodded to verify her claim of mages accompanying the knights. It was rather funny that he had such an amused yet somewhat proud look on his face.
[Go on and silence them.] Alwin thought. He did not like having no choice but to follow all the rules the nobility had while staying here so he was quite delighted when seeing them proved wrong at something.
Raymond also nodded when the nobles glanced at him.
Those who doubted Arabella were silenced as they realized that she knew what she was doing.
[Right, she saw the situation in Prudencia herself so she must be keeping a close watch on this issue.]
[The attack on Crux should not be postponed anyway since we would become a laughingstock. Once Crux do not give in to the demands and yet do not get the consequences, other neighboring kingdoms might think of doing the same and be more daring in their aggressions.]
The rulers approved of attacking Crux once the week ends and they still do not relent in returning all Prudencians in their hands. They were relieved to know that someone was already assigned even if Ferdinand was busy with something else.
