Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter Chapter 244

Closing

(A soldier's under Iris's mother point of view)
 

Even though there was a sword in front of her nose, she did not appear to be particularly surprised .

"…slow"

Instead she said those words while smiling .

. . . Of course, that's not the word you'd said to an enemy in front of you .

"I'm sorry"

That was the answer from Lyle who was pointing a blade to the enemy general in front of her .

Behind him . . . In a different direction from where they came in, there were the soldiers from Lyle and Dida .

"You're too fast . To be honest, I didn't get in time . "

" . . . But it was easy to do?"

"Well, yes . If the two parties rush in at the same time, the confusion will be greater . But I understood well . I lost . "

"Looking at our locations, yes, because there were fewer people guarding from the direction you came in than from where we were coming in . "

Mary was working to predict and support their movements .

At the same time as their entering, they were aiming to deepen the enemy's confusion .

"Well, I thought you guys would come . . . . . . . but I had to to help and thought why not better take his head . "

To the end, the initiative was to help the army lead by Dida and Lyle .

What happened in the territory will be resolved now . . .  
Mary thought that it was desirable that after this display of power, the foreign enemies take their eyes away from this place .

. . . . . . However, even if Lyle's arrival was late, the feat was accomplished .

Now, an early solution should be the first priority .

If reinforcements come to the enemy, the difference in strength will further increase .

Then, it will be difficult to overturn . . .

" . . . For now, let me ask you a question"

With a sharp glance, Lyle directs hi voice to an enemy general .

Only then, the man shouted "Hi . . . " .

"Who are you?"

The man gazes to the right and to the left .

But no one moves to help him .

Because his companions have already been thrown away by Mary or Lyle .

The rest of the group are reluctant to turn their gaze towards us .

At the time, Lyle is aiming his sword at the hostage, it can not be helped .

Lyle brought the sword closer to the enemy's neck .

 And, one crimson line falls from the enemy's neck .

"Answer or he dies . Who from Acacia sent you?"

Next to me, Mary asked in a different language .

The man bites his lips at those words .

"Oh, you . . . you know Acacia! "

"Somewhat .  So who are you? "

"Well, I am the first Acacia prince, Jalal Bento Acacia! "

"Eh . . . this man is the first prince?"

Mary and Lyle, who was listening to the conversation through an interpreter, were just perfect .

The two have an embarrassed expression without hiding .

"Isn't it a lie? Normally, the first prince will have some protection . If he makes a mistake in a decision, others will prevent him . "

"First, I have never heard of a first prince invading another country . "

. . . . . . Well, she can't speak too . . I have never heard of a Duchess taking the lead and running around the battlefield . . . I thought for a moment such a thing .

Lyle was having a heartfelt laughter while thinking the same thing .

"You guys . . . do you know what happens if you scratch me? "

The first prince and the enemy commander began to smile invincible .

" . . . Why did you attack this place? "

"His Majesty conspired with the Twil country .  After the war, the land of the Almeria duke and its surroundings will become of the kingdom of Acacia, and the rest will be for Twil's country .  I was going ahead of the war as proof of that cooperation . "

Lyle looked at him and his face distorted .

"Oh so . . that's it"

But Mary next to Lyle continued to have an easy smile on her face .

When she heard what she wanted to hear, the response was that we have seen before .

"Lyle . The truth is that this guy is definitely a member of the royal family . Let's just wait for a bit to cut his neck . In the meantime, take him with you . He may be useful for my girl to negotiate in the future "

And after she said that, his reaction was quick .

He shook the hand-held sword and tried to escape while swinging it .

At the same time, a cry like a beast resounds on the spot .

" . . . Well, did you think that you would just order this and return unscathed? You should know the pain of a person . "

Seeing the man, Lyle roared while frightening him with his sword .

She laughs happily at the sight .

She opens her mouth as she looks down at the man who shed tears .

'Oh .  feel safe . We will not kill you .  Be grateful to the lady .  At best, help this land . "

Lyle pushes a cloth into his mouth and ties him .  And then, he beats him .

"Well, this isn't going to kill you,"

"Surely, but is this our only option? He was annoying . "

Like nothing, she returns the words .

"But how . . . how could you be sure that he's from the royal family?"

"He's right middle finger ring . Each royal in the country is given a unique symbol and wears it carved in a ring .  
 

As Mary said, a golden ring was put on the man's middle finger .

The jewel is not inlaid in the center, but a bull pattern is carved in its place .

"Huh, I see . . . . So, Mary can we return?"

"Yeah, of course . I just came to help, everything else is for you to decide . "

Lyle smiles in pain at those words .

However, he immediately changed expression and opened his mouth .

"Clean up the people of this place! Leave no one!"

And those who have been under the first prince, are hit further into confusion .

The soldiers lead by Lyle steadily discard enemies one after another .

Without danger and without stopping .

. . . . . . I came to the Anderson family training at an early age, so I know their childhood but . . . well, this is still surprising .

And behind that, Mary started giving instructions to us .

It is amazing to see that she was not really serious when she opened the enemy line .

Even I was surprised that I could not see her limit . . . The surprises of the soldiers were terrific .

Like dancing in blood, just specializing in "breaking" her opponents .

We are intimidated to keep up with it .

Then, as she continued to fight, most of those who were on the ground without being able to resist die in a flash .

Of course, it was because she had crushed their heads at one swing .

At the same time, Dida, who was committed to defending, also joined the cleanup .

. . . and the battle that took place in the east was over .
