Chapter: 843
Before heading to where Seibel was waiting, she grabbed Fritz and asked, “How about the herb?”
“I got a call this morning. It will arrive soon in a day or two.” Fritz replied with an apologetic look.
“… … I see.”
It was hopeful that it would come within a day or two.
Astelle sent Theor back to his room and headed to the drawing room where Seibel was waiting.
“Your Majesty the Empress.”
As she entered the drawing room, Seibel hurriedly bowed.
“I heard the news from my father and ran as quickly as possible.”
“Sir Seibel, you did a great job.”
Although Seibel had come a long way, there was no sign of tiredness.
“Where are the other knights?”
“In order to get here as soon as possible, we chose the best battalion and came to the capital first.”
Thanks to that, the knights were able to return quickly. But Astelle needed the entire knights.
“What about the rest?”
“Only half of the people I brought are in the capital, and the other half are staying in the suburbs. The battalions left in the north are returning to the capital in sequence, except for the last battalion. All the battalions will arrive in the capital within three days at the latest.”
While explaining that, Seibel paused for a moment and looked into Astell’s eyes.
“I decided it would be better than coming back all at once.”
“… … .”
Astelle listened to Seibel and understood the situation.
Count Ecklen seems to have informed Seibel that the Emperor is in critical condition and that the ministers are in a precarious state due to divisions.
When Seibel heard that, he decided to select the knights before bringing them back to the capital. To prevent others from predicting when the Lanberg Knights will arrive.
If the commander said that he came first with only a small number of knights, the enemy would not be wary now.
Therefore, half of the battalions that came with them were left in the suburbs.
Seibel looked at Astelle’s cold face and asked anxiously, “I apologize if my judgment is wrong, Your Majesty.”
“No, you did really well.”
