The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"——My child, when you read this letter, I may no longer be alive."

The news of Armand VII's death was soon officially conveyed to the Guards.

The Imperial Guards had been fighting the Second Legion these days just to protect the dying emperor. Now that the emperor was dead, there was no need for them to continue protecting the imperial capital which was now an empty city.

The fact that the enemy had already infiltrated the imperial capital and was preparing to blow it up also made them lose confidence in continuing to fight.

"——I no longer have the chance to say goodbye to you in person, so I asked a guest from afar to write this letter for me... along with a record of the past."

This letter was indeed written by that mysterious person.

Although the man's true purpose was unclear, he did not have any hostility - but this might be because he simply did not want to fight with Klia and the others.

Because even Karin and Zhuying couldn't track down where the other party had gone.

"——What I want to tell you first is that you don't have to worry about what will happen to the Empire. You and the Moti kid should leave this country and live your own life."

With the help of the Guards, Claire held a simple funeral for Armand VII.

Although an era has ended... everyone knows that the emperor's death is just the beginning of chaos.

"——I failed to restore this corrupt country to its original state. The nobles had already stolen the foundation of this country... and my two oldest children became puppets of the nobles."

The eldest prince and the second prince once destroyed Keliya's face out of jealousy, and now they have started to act for their own selfish desires in order to fight for the throne.

The only one who was not infected by these malicious acts, the third prince, is now unknown whether he is still alive.

"——So, leave here and go find what you want."

Because the princess is not a real princess, she will not be bound by the civil unrest that is about to break out in the empire.

If she insisted on leaving the empire, these things would have nothing to do with her.

"——My daughter, may your future be illuminated by light forever."

That’s all for this letter.

……

"Your Highness, we have temporarily settled His Majesty... If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely move His Majesty to the Imperial Mausoleum."

At a time when the Imperial City could be blown up at any time, it is impossible for the Imperial Guards to stay here for long.

However, even if they gathered all their forces, they could only barely break through - and even if they could successfully break through, these elite soldiers who were supposed to protect the royal family didn't know where to go.

"Thank you, Commander Nolar... What are the plans of the Royal Guards next?"

"If the Third Prince is still in Duke Ophir's territory, we plan to go to him. The First Prince is just a puppet of Duke Scott, and the Second Prince even abandoned the southern front in order to fight for the throne... These two people are not trustworthy."

The Imperial Guards, already exhausted from continuous fighting, had no intention of serving as thugs for another prince after escaping the siege.

Currently, the Third Prince and Duke Oufei are the weakest, but their geographical location is relatively safer. Even if the Kingdom of Sunset and the Kingdom of Cardia start to invade the Empire at the same time, the war will not spread there for a while.

But the civil war between the eldest prince and the second prince is probably inevitable.

"I understand. If you can see my brother... please protect him."

Klia can't do anything now.

The current situation cannot be reversed by one or two strong men - even Karin, who can defeat giant monsters head-on, cannot cope with a long-term war of attrition.

Because the large armies in this world fight, they have already taken into account the possible threats from top powerhouses.

"Boss, we have to go with the Royal Guards. With the current situation outside, if we continue to follow you, we will only become a burden."

Kuran's decision surprised Keliya for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she agreed.

Because they were going to head south to meet up with Aarons - and they were not sure they could completely protect the mercenary group from being surrounded outside.

"That's all... I hope we can meet again in the future, Captain Kuran."

"We will find a way to contact you as soon as we find His Royal Highness the Third Prince... Take care."

The Royal Guards will soon gather their forces to break out to the east. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Klia and her group will break out of the encirclement from the south.

Zhuying will be responsible for bringing the vehicle and fuel out of the sky, while Karin and Xia Ye will be responsible for protecting Keliya and breaking out from the ground - if Zhuying was not unable to activate its full functions now, they would not have to adopt such a dangerous method of action.

"Alright, all members of the Royal Guards, listen up! According to the plan, start preparing to launch a feint attack on the enemy from the west!"

The imperial capital's guards are basically elite troops, and they can demonstrate sufficient combat effectiveness even when facing soldiers several times their number.

Although they have temporarily lost the monarch they serve, one day they will welcome the return of the new emperor.

"Your Highness, let's go too."

"Well...I'll leave it to you guys."

——Claire hadn’t had the time to watch the video that the mysterious man had given her.

It recorded something that the Emperor and Marquis Moti did twenty years ago, and also foreshadowed their outcome today.

The Star-Seeking Tours - why is this mysterious organization from the west of the continent involved with the ruler of the northeastern country of the continent?

What kind of value does the so-called "Son of the Star" have that can make these people commit such heinous crimes against countless innocent people?

Perhaps the answer lies in that record...but now is not the right time to explore the truth.

"Then we'll go out--"

Just when Klia was giving instructions to her companions, an unexpected change occurred again.

This time, not only did Klia feel an indescribable pain, but even Karin Xiaye and Zhu Ying staggered due to the sudden dizziness.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys!?"

Seeing the four people almost fall to the ground without any warning, Kuran and the female leader, who had not left yet, hurried back.

——But they did not sense the existence of any magic, and no unusual changes occurred around them.

"Why? It feels like a piece of my heart has been dug out..."

"This feeling, could it be... bad! Miss Zhuying! Quickly go to the sky... and detect it!"

The one who recovered the fastest from the strange dizziness was Xia Ye, whose eyes had somehow turned into a weird blood red. Soon after, the maid with cherry hair also used her own properties to forcibly return to her normal state.

Karin, who was the strongest among the people present, was gasping for breath while holding her chest as if she had palpitations. She didn't even have time to pay attention to Klia, who was kneeling on the ground in a trance.

"What is going on? Princess, what are you doing——"

"Report! The Third Legion... just sent out an emergency notification using the full frequency band!"

Just as Kuran and the female captain were anxiously trying to figure out what was going on, a signalman from the Royal Guards ran over from the side, breathless.

"On the southern front... the main forces of the Dusk Kingdom suffered heavy losses! But... it was a psychic explosion!"

"Calm down! Explain what happened on the Southern Front!?"

The female captain grabbed the extremely panicked soldier and slapped him hard, which made him recover from his incoherent state.

But what he said next hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer -

"After our warship covered the retreat of the remnants of the border guards, it triggered a psychic explosion in the center of the enemy's main force! But according to the report, the name of the ship is--"

"Speak clearly now!"

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess's...Prison Gate Flower!"
