"You seem a little bit surprised, Velucan," Ilschevar states calmly.
"Ah, yes... This subordinate of yours was just slightly overwhelmed by the magnitude of the mission, my Liege."
You don't need to see Velucan's face to know that he is frowning; you can feel it from his tone. I, too, can't help frowning. Just like what Velucan said, the magnitude of the mission has become bigger due to the territory we are going to conquer.
In the two months I have spent my time being educated by Valeria, although not too detailed, she has taught me about the existing Kingdoms and Empires I need to know. Therefore, I know a little bit about Brontes Dukedom.
Brontes Dukedom is the second biggest territory in Antares Kingdom after the lands of the Royalty, which takes up nearly a fifth of the entire Kingdom's territory. It is also heavily guarded by the Kingdom's army, so it is a fairly safe territory.
