The kingdom of Begonia is under attack!
I was on the verge of tears at the sight of Irene, but when I heard those words, my tears were retracted.
The Begonia Kingdom? A raid?
What do you mean?
Christo is also confused because he came out of nowhere and told us so.
Irene is a little out of breath as she dismounts her horse and runs up to us and tells us.
However, she tries to tell us what''s going on.
''''It seems that the Lynda Empire, the Land of Demons, is raiding the Begonia Kingdom at the moment!
Lindow Empire.
I don''t remember hearing the name of the country at all, but Christo and Liberto-san have heard of it.
His face changed color when he heard the name.
''''The Lindow Empire? Are you really sure about that information?
''We received word last night that they are gathering troops to launch a raid on the Kingdom of Begonia. There is no doubt about it.
As soon as he hears those words, Liberto-san takes something out of his pocket.
It''s a palm-sized object, and I look at it for a while.
''''That guy, we haven''t heard from Yelle. Maybe he hasn''t been attacked yet.
Liberto-san looked at the tool and said so.
Apparently, it seems to be something called a ''magic tool'', something that allows you to contact them even if you are far away.
''''The Lynda Empire was really hastily gathering troops as well, so maybe they haven''t been attacked yet!
Irene says that while calming her breath.
Then, I suddenly feel an uncomfortable sensation as if I were being poked on the shoulder.
When I turned my head in that direction, Viviana-san was looking at me with a slightly puzzled face.
''''Hey, hey, who is that girl?''''
He asks me that in a small voice.
It seems that Christo and Mr. Liberto completely believe what that girl says, or rather, they seem to know, and that''s why they asked me.
I try to answer in a small voice again.
''I''m sorry, I''m sorry I''m late in introducing myself,''
Irene bows and replies, as if she heard the voice now.
''''I am Irene Harzion, daughter of King Seldonia of the Kingdom of Harzion. Please allow me to get to know you.''''
Viviana was a little surprised by the beautiful bow that was typical of royalty, but she smiled cheerfully.
''''So you were a princess! Nice to meet you...''''
Then he tries to shake my hand.
''Yeah, yeah, nice to meet you,''
Irene responds to the handshake, a little surprised by the response.
There aren''t many people who have called themselves princesses and treated them in such a reserved manner.
''''Hey, this isn''t the time to be greeting people without drinking.
I was wondering if I should say hello to Irene too, but Liberto-san looked more impatient than before and said so.
"There''s no communication from here,
Christo responded immediately to those words.
''Is that an anomaly?''
''If it''s a lack of response, which is sometimes the case, then it''s an unusual situation to be out of touch. The only thing I can think of is that something is getting in the way.
Perhaps they are using inhibiting magic or arcane tools.
Irene hears it and replies.
In other words, I''ve lost contact with Yele-san, who is supposed to be in the royal capital right now.
It means that we have no information at all from over there.
''''It''s possible that they have already been raided. No, that''s more likely.''''
Everyone gasped at Liberto-san''s words.
I didn''t think we would be attacked while we were in this country.
Will Tina, Yulina-san, and Elena-san be okay?
Those three are strong, but if you ask me if they''re used to fighting, they''re not.
Tina in particular has only been in the Magic Knights for a month.
It''s a sudden attack, and probably an urban battle.
I don''t know how many troops the opponent has, but they''ll be fighting while protecting their people.
It would be difficult to do that. Even I''ve never fought while defending such a large number of people.
d*mn it, how come I''m not there when the Begonia Kingdom is under attack!
Someone I care about is in danger!
And when Liberto-san and Viviana-san, two of the larger troops here, are not around--!
No....!
We weren''t even here when you tried to shoot me.
I wonder if Liberto-san was thinking the same thing, and he utters the answer I arrived at.
That''s right, aside from me, Liberto-san, the strongest of the Knights, and Viviana-san, the strongest of the Magic Knights.
It''s too good to be attacked when the two of you aren''t around.
I can only think that that Lindow Empire was aiming for it.
--Huh!
I''ve come to a realization.
It''s been a month since Tina came in, which means that in my previous life, it would have been a month since our village was destroyed.
About that time, I met Christo.
Christo told me that he met me in a distant city after the fall of the Begonia Kingdom.
If Christo was making the same moves in his previous life as he is now.
Christo, and Mr. Liberto and Ms. Viviana, would have had the job of going around this other country.
In other words, the three of them weren''t in the Begonia Kingdom at this time in their previous lives either.
I didn''t know about the Begonia Kingdom''s military strength in my previous life, but now that there were such strong people, how could the country be destroyed that easily? I''ve wondered about that.
I know that Felix is strong. But I didn''t think he could be defeated so easily with these two around.
But if the three of them hadn''t been there in a previous life when the country was being attacked, it would make sense.
In a previous life, and now.
It means that the country was attacked while the two strongest men in the Begonia Kingdom were not present.
If that''s the case, it would explain why the country was destroyed in a past life, and why Christo was safe.
Moreover, it probably wouldn''t have been possible for Irene to have told me about it during her previous life.
We don''t even know if he looked around this Kingdom of Harzion first, and even if he had, he couldn''t have known the information because Felix was the next king of this country at that time.
If this was the case, it would end up going down the same path as the previous life.
The Begonia Kingdom would be destroyed.
