Charles didn't know, at this time, the Duchess Joseph was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
Duke Joseph had indeed led all the troops of the Behemoth Duchy to attack the Southern Seraph Territory, but the situation was very bad. The Duke was trapped in a small city called Interlaken at the front line and was unable to break out.
The Duchess had been anxiously waiting for the reinforcements from Baron Philedrica, whom her husband trusted the most, only to receive the devastating news that his forces had been completely wiped out.
But what frightened the Duchess even more was that the Empire had always wanted to turn the Behemoth Duchy into a Behemoth Territory or a county of the same name directly under the central administration of the Fars.
Now, with no troops within the Behemoth Duchy and a powerful enemy outside, the army trapped, and allied troops wiped out, the "scheming" imperial forces were approaching the city.
