I Will Become the Queen of the Enemy Country

Karan, who had gone out for reconnaissance, was ambushed by a horde of monsters. It was an unexpected event.

“Everyone, retreat!”

At Karan’s command, the warriors moved in an orderly manner.

“Move the injured first! The rest will cover me.”

Karan pushed the warriors’ shoulders and moved forward. Haltbin followed him, providing cover.

“There are too many monsters. It’s like a goblin army.”

Haltbin folded the telescope he had been looking through and put it in his pocket.

“At this rate, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the gate has opened.”

At Karan’s words, Haltbin nodded.

“You must be joking, but it doesn’t sound like a joke.”

According to research, natural disasters increase and the frequency of monster appearances increases before the gate opens.

However, in the case of Dex’s territory, the frequency of monster appearances increased compared to previous years, but there was no noticeable change.

“Where did all these monsters come from, even though the gate hasn’t opened?”

“Uh, that’s what I’m saying…”

While cutting down a charging goblin, Haltbin muttered.

While Karan, Haltbin, and a few warriors were dealing with the monsters at the front, Rosh joined the rear troops with the injured.

“Lay the injured in the barracks, leave only the minimum number of people, and support His Highness Karan.”

“Countess! Are you going too?”

The one who grabbed Rosh was Trish. With her hands stained red from treating the wounded, she grabbed the hem of Rosh’s robe.

“I’m stating the obvious.”

“Countess, it’s also necessary to command the battlefield from the rear. If His Highness Karan and then you go to the front, the remaining people will be confused and collapse.”

“Are you telling me to stay in the rear?”

Trish nodded heavily.

“Your opinion is rejected.”

“Countess!”

“Trish, you just made a plea for me. Not for the entire Dex County.”

“What does that mean…”

“Are you worried that I might lose my life if I go?”

Trish closed her mouth. Rosh was right. She was worried that Rosh would get hurt. Even the warriors with both legs intact were brought in injured.

If Rosh, who had a problem with one leg, there was a high probability that she would not be able to return alive.

But if she told her inner thoughts as they were, she would obviously get angry, so she gave another reason. Of course, that reason was also valid.

But Rosh saw through her.

“What do you think will happen if His Highness Karan fights alone and gets hurt?”

The despicable king will take that as a handle and try to take over the Dex County.

Rosh, who could never allow that, gripped her sword.

“Even if I’m lame, I can ride a horse.”

When Rosh put her finger in her mouth and whistled, her horse came running from afar.

Rosh got on the waist of the running horse without slowing down.

“Countess!”

Trish called her, but Rosh had already run far away where her voice could not reach.

Trish sighed and messed up her hair and paused. Her hands were a mess with blood.

“The condition of the injured is not good. What should we do?”

Trish lifted her bowed head and looked around.

It was a mess. Unable to handle the overflowing injured, they laid blankets outside the barracks and laid the patients down.

There was no decent healer, and the injured were taking care of each other.

Trish’s gaze reached the cart where the supplies were piled up.

‘Can only hold out for two days at most.’

It was a gloomy future. She had to request reinforcements for now. But who would bring the supplies when the decision-maker left the castle?

“Sir Trish, how…” (TL: Although a girl, since she’s serving as Countess Rosh’s butler, that’s why I decided to use Sir instead of ma’am)

Everyone was just looking at Trish’s mouth.

“First, get the fastest horse and a knight for requesting reinforcements. And then…”

It was when Trish started to explain.

“The, the reinforcements are coming!”

One of the knights who had gone out for reconnaissance came running in a hurry.

“There was no request for reinforcements, what reinforcements? That doesn’t make sense…!”

Trish closed her mouth, which was getting irritated. It was as the scout said.

From afar, a group of soldiers raising dust and coming towards them were reinforcements, raising a flag symbolizing Tetris and Dex.

And at the forefront was Elise. It took less than an hour for her, who appeared with her blonde hair fluttering, to take control of the battlefield.

“Hang the pot, boil as much water as possible. We will grade patients according to the severity of the injury. Those who can move, please move together. Please put the food on the wooden board above. Leber! Please check from Barracks 1 to Barracks 4. If surgical operation is needed, don’t hesitate to do it.”

Elise kept giving orders without rest. Even the knights who were only blinking at first started to move diligently at her force.

Elise brushed up her disheveled hair. The hair blown by the wind was tangled and could not be combed. Elise roughly gathered her hair and tied it up and sighed.

‘I came as soon as I could, but a day has already passed.’

Elise went straight back to the Count’s Castle after meeting Besti yesterday.

And she hurriedly organized a supply unit with Kram. But there was a problem from opening the storeroom.

“We can’t open it without the Countess’s command.”

No matter how much Elise was in a hurry, no matter how much she said that the reconnaissance unit was in danger, the people of the Count’s Castle did not budge.

‘If I were really Karan’s fiancée…’

She could have forced the door open by borrowing Karan’s name, but Elise had not yet received permission to marry.

Then Kram helped Elise.

“Just open it.”

He had people he brought from somewhere open the storeroom secretly at night.

It was theft, but now was not the time to follow legal procedures and work.

The gate might have opened. It was greed to take care of my morality in a situation where the reconnaissance unit could be annihilated.

It was Elise’s part to persuade the knights. She mentioned Karan’s name.

“It’s His Highness Karan’s command. Lead the knights and join the gate reconnaissance.”

The fact that she used Karan’s name meant that she intended to apologize and ask for his forgiveness.

The knights saw the amount of supplies and guessed it was an unusual battle.

After preparing for half a day, Elise left the Count’s Castle straight away.

And it was only around sunset that she was able to make contact with the rear reconnaissance unit.

‘The situation is much worse than I expected.’

The number of patients exceeded the expected range. Leber was running hard, but it was uncertain how many people he could save.

“Miss Elise…”

Trish approached her during a brief break.

“Sir Trish, you’ve worked hard.”

Elise turned to Trish. Whether it was because she moved suddenly or because she was relaxed, her vision spun.

As Elise staggered, Kram, who was nearby, reached out and caught her.

“Be careful, Miss Elise.”

Trish awkwardly withdrew her hand that she had reached out.

“Thanks to Miss Elise, we were able to breathe a sigh of relief. How did you know and come?”

Trish’s tone was polite, but there was a boundary set within it. Kram immediately frowned.

“That’s strange.”

“No, what I mean is…you appeared at such a perfect timing…”

At Kram’s point, Trish stuttered.

Elise raised her hand as if to stop Kram and turned to Trish.

“Sir Trish, are you saying that I knew this situation would happen and didn’t tell His Highness Karan in advance?”

“Rather than that, didn’t you predict the situation…”

“That’s right. I anticipated that something like this could happen. So I ran like this. Is there a problem?”

“If you ask like that, what should I answer…”

“Sir Trish, there’s only one thing you have to do here. You have to clean up the messy situation and gather those who can support to safely bring His Highness Karan and Lord Dex, who are at the front. You don’t need to be curious or have time to know how I knew about this situation, where I got the supplies, and what the procedure was. Do you understand?”

Elise’s voice gradually lost its strength. Administrators are the problem.

Trish nodded her head in a daze.

“What should I do first?”

“Select knights who can support the front…”

“If you know, move, quickly!”

Elise chased Trish away. Trish turned her body with a flustered face and ran towards the barracks where the knights were gathered.

“That’s great. But won’t you teach me too? How did you foresee this situation?”

He had been keeping his mouth shut and doing what he was told. It was quite a while before Kram, who couldn’t stand being curious, asked.

“Foresight?”

“Yes, as if you’ve experienced it.”

Elise was taken aback.

“Really?”

Elise smiled as if she had never been taken aback. Kram nodded his head.

“Even in a hurry, Lord Kram seems to care about how I knew.”

“It’s not that I want to know right now…”

“Well, if you want to know, there’s nothing I can’t teach. I know the future.”

“Really?”

At Elise’s shocking confession, Kram’s face twisted strangely.
