Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Enli's mansion, Enli's room.
In the room, Enli was sitting on a chair, playing with a dagger.
The thumb of his right hand gently stroked the tip of the dagger.
The faint tingling sensation announced to Enli how sharp the dagger was.
Because Enli was sitting by the window, the sunlight outside the window could just penetrate the window into the room.
Under the sunlight, the blade of the dagger reflected a dazzling cold light.
Looking at the dagger in his hand that was reflecting the cold light, Enli had a blank expression on his face, and I don't know what he was thinking.
Dong, Dong, Dong.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Master."
It was the voice of the butler who had served Enli for many years.
Enli lived separately from his parents. Because Enli didn't like people calling him "young master", under his order, all the waiters in his mansion called him "master".
"What's the matter?" Enli asked outside the room.
"Captain Su Cheng of the Unified Knights... is now at the gate of our mansion. He said he wants to see you..." the housekeeper hesitated.
After the housekeeper finished speaking, Enli raised his eyebrows.
"... Let him in. Bring him to my room."
"Yes."
...
...
In a moment, a young figure who had not been seen for a long time appeared in Enli's room.
"Long time no see, Su Cheng." Enli raised his head and greeted Su Cheng, who was standing in front of him and looking at him with complicated eyes, "I almost forgot when we last met alone. Why did you come to see me specially?"
"... Enli, I heard everything." Su Cheng said softly, "You and Her Majesty had a big dispute..."
"Yes." Enli admitted very frankly, "Your Majesty wanted to launch the third war of annihilation of the Holy Xilan Empire, completely destroy the Holy Xilan Empire, and unify the continent."
"But I don't want Her Majesty to start a war again, so I had a dispute with Her Majesty."
Speaking of this, Enli paused.
Then he continued to say to Su Cheng in a half-joking tone:
"Speaking of arguing with His Majesty... Su Cheng, didn't you do that too?"
"Didn't you also have an argument with His Majesty about this matter?"
"Before you, I did discuss matters related to the 3rd Holy Xilan Empire's war of annihilation with His Majesty, and we did have an argument about this matter."
"But the dispute between His Majesty and I was not as serious as yours."
"At least I walked out of His Majesty's study peacefully, instead of being dragged out by His Majesty's guards."
"I came to you specifically just to remind you - be careful with your words."
At this point, the expression on Su Cheng's face darkened.
"I believe you have also discovered... Her Majesty... is becoming more and more paranoid..."
"She... is too superstitious about the power of the army... She is too confident in the army of this country..."
"The only thing left in her mind now is the idea of 'unifying the continent'. No matter who raises objections, she will not listen."
"If you go against her and make her angry, I don't know what else she will do..."
"She will let the guards drag you out this time."
"And next time... you may not be so lucky."
Enli listened quietly to Su Cheng's reminder.
It was not until Su Cheng's voice fell for a long time that Enli, who was still playing with the dagger in his hand, whispered:
"Su Cheng... Do you think that relying on calm negotiations can convince Elsa to turn back and stop starting a war?"
After hearing Enli's question, Su Cheng hesitated for a long time.
Then he sighed:
"...I think it's difficult."
"Yeah..." Enli smiled bitterly, "I also think it's difficult...It can be said that it's impossible to succeed...With Her Majesty's current state,
it's impossible to convince her through calm negotiations..."
"If you want to convince Your Majesty...you must use a more radical way."
At this point, Enli, whose eyes had never left the dagger in his hand, flashed a strange light in his eyes.
Su Cheng keenly noticed the strange light in Enli's eyes, so he frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Enli...what do you want to do?"
"Nothing." Enli shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "It's just...I want to do my best to persuade Her Majesty to turn back."
Hearing Enli's words, Su Cheng frowned even deeper.
Su Cheng wanted to say something else.
However, Enli had already interrupted and said:
"Okay, Su Cheng, let's stop talking here."
"I'm tired and don't want to talk anymore. No matter what you ask me, I won't answer it anymore."
"Su Cheng, please go back."
"Enli..."
"Please go back." Enli's tone was much more serious than before.
"...Then I'll take my leave."
...
...
Su Cheng walked slowly to the door of the room. As soon as he opened the door, Enli, who was sitting behind him, suddenly said:
"Su Cheng...I can't tell you what I plan to do."
"But I can tell you - please look forward to the big meeting in 2 days. "
Speaking of this, Enli's face flashed a bit of strangeness.
"At the grand meeting in two days, I will let you see a scene that has not appeared in this land for a long time."
"... Enli." Su Cheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "You... don't do stupid things..."
Enli waved his hand.
"Don't worry, everything I do in the future will be done according to my own will, and it will not be a stupid thing."
...
...
Two days later-
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Council Hall.
Grand meeting-an important meeting to convene all civil officials and knights in the central government.
It is one of the most important and most frequently held meetings in the Britannia Empire.
Unless it is an emergency meeting, the emperor of the Britannia Empire will notify all the ministers of the central government in advance a few days before the grand meeting to come to the meeting.
There is not much time left before the grand meeting.
The left and right sides of the council hall are already full of civil officials and knights.
Su Cheng naturally stands at the front of the knight queue.
Su Cheng, who was standing at the front, turned his head back frequently to look behind him.
He was looking for Enli.
What Enli said to him two days ago made Su Cheng care until now.
What exactly Enli was going to do - this thought has been lingering in Su Cheng's mind.
Because there were so many people, Su Cheng spent a lot of effort to find Enli.
Enli, who was in a high position, should have stood in a very front position.
But at this moment, he hid himself in the middle of the queue with an expressionless face.
His expressionless appearance made Su Cheng unable to understand what he was going to do.
