Chapter 383: 16 Year Old Inglis and the New Semester (5)
“…Are you feeling unwell, milady? Please take a rest…”
The one who approached Liselotte with concern was an elegant woman in her mid-twenties, the commander of the chivalric order under Duke Althea, named Ryza. Liselotte had heard rumors that Ryza was older than her appearance suggested, but she never disclosed her actual age.
For Liselotte, Ryza was not only a commander but also her master in martial arts. Being able to work alongside her was another reason why Liselotte took on the role of escorting her father.
“No, I’m fine. Thank you,” Liselotte replied with a smile, then turned her attention back to the debate. King Charleas and Prince Wayne did not seem to advocate for war, but Liselotte was unsure whether their stance could quell the opinions of the eastern lords.
In fact, it was only the voices in agreement with Prime Minister Rigriff that were being heard.
“…No, I’m against the war,” declared Duke Althea, as though dousing the fiery excitement with cold water.
The conference room fell into a hush as Duke Althea broke his silence, causing all to focus on him.
“Duke Althea! Being on the western end, you may think this matter is none of your concern, but the invasion has left real scars in our territories! The Venefics must be shown their place!” Prime Minister Rigriff glared at Duke Althea.
“That’s right, Duke Althea!”
