Kaiserin Cecilia had postponed the requests to hold a council of Feudal Lords with various excuses, but as winter approached, she ultimately succumbed to the pressure and had no choice but to accept the lords' demands.
“Kaiserin, how exactly is the war progressing?”
“I wonder where those who boasted they could plant the Empire's Flag in Lumiere this year have gone.”
Cecilia gazed with blurred eyes at the empty chairs of the Prince-elector of the Kraft Kingdom and the Feudal Lords who supported him.
“What in the world is Grand Duke Leopold doing? We gave him so many troops, yet he suffered a major Defeat, unable to beat half the forces of a country devastated by civil war? Has he gone senile?”
“Hmph, the Grand Duke must be too old. Wasn't he trying to retire before this war anyway? He must have known he was past his prime.”
“Come to think of it, wasn't it the Kaiserin who stopped Grand Duke Leopold's retirement and appointed him? Given how things are turning out, perhaps you should have given the chance to younger, more promising generals…….”
They spoke so casually, judging only by the results, as if they weren't the ones who would have to command on the front lines.
