NOVEL NEXT chapter 18
18 – Crown Prince vs Northern Grand Duke – 2
“You want to work as a temporary bookkeeper in the upcoming northern conquest?”
Charles answered Diane de Balboa’s question.
“Yes.”
Dian seemed to be having a hard time, and then said.
“Do you know what the northern conquest is?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince invited Grand Duke Cronor, the lord of the north, to become a vassal, but the Grand Duke refused, saying that the Cronor family had been under orders only from the emperor for 200 years, so come again when he inherits the throne. You decided to conquer the north.”
For reference, the prince is developed. in the original story.
“Do you even know what it means to work there as a bookkeeper?”
“It will be among the rules of the academy. Academy cadets can be called up to the army as knights in wartime.”
“that… That’s right, though. When you go to the battlefield, I will treat you as a soldier, not a student. Is it still good?”
“I am prepared.”
Dian touched his forehead. Her head is complicated by the war, but since the student she teaches wants to work as a bookkeeper, of course her head hurts.
However, the problem was that the student was the student who placed second in the mock battle and had the highest score in Politics and Diplomacy. This was not an easy task even with a few professors. If you take Charles, there will surely be something useful. It was because even Yuria Russell, the student she taught herself, was a man who had won. However…
“Charles, if you die then I will be responsible.”
“But when I’m active, it’s Professor Dian who benefits.”
“Is it good?”
“I know why the professor tried to drag me into His Highness’ clique.”
“Hoo? It’s fun. For what reason?”
“The professor had his first fight when he was 14 years old.”
At those words, longing passed through Dian’s eyes.
“It did. I was young then.”
“And you’ve been through dozens of battlefields in 15 years. I understand that he has the nickname Dian of Charge because he always stands at the front of the line and calls out for an assault.”
“That’s right.”
“But do you have any shortcomings?”
At that, Diane made a surprised expression.
leadership rank A
Highest Rank A in Armed Forces
The academy’s best sword master with the world’s second-largest military force. Diane de Balboa.
Although it could be called a top-notch weapon, she had a fatal weakness.
“Reading maps is slow.”
she was hot It seemed to be straight.
“Weak to supplies and personnel.”
Dian’s army had a strong rule of thumb. So the more the number increases, the more inefficient the army management becomes.
“If you come to your senses after fighting, you’re too far forward, so you don’t know what the battle situation is like.”
Assault Dian. It’s a nickname given to her because she shouts to charge from the front, but it’s also a name that means she charges at the enemy alone, drunk on the smell of blood, even though there are no subordinates around.
“How can I… ”
“Let’s just say that I have information in my own way.”
“I didn’t know you’d already become so close with Her Highness.”

Not really. It’s game knowledge. What, should I just misunderstand?
“I will fill in the gaps. If you take me with you, you will not regret it.”
Dian pondered for a while as if it was difficult.
About five minutes later, she said.
“There are a lot of talented people, so there is nothing to lose. I will believe in the ability to beat Yuria Russell.”
Diane de Balboa held out his hand and I took it. And I prepared to head to Crotea, the base of Dian.

morning that day.
I woke up and went to the bathroom, but the lamp in the bathroom was broken. Annoyed, I headed to the dorm common bathroom.
After urinating and washing his face, he came out and sat in the hall to rest for a while. The morning air felt something special. But in the distance, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
‘yes? Anyone at this hour? Are you a guard?’
I thought so and didn’t think it was a big deal, but the sound of people’s footsteps got closer and closer and stopped about 20 meters away from me.
The moonlight is also weak, so the opponent’s face cannot be seen properly. Just from the silhouette, I could only vaguely tell that it was a woman.
“Who are you?”
I asked if she knew someone, but she didn’t answer. Slowly, I started to feel wary. She said as she placed her hand on the handle of the sword.
“Goddess.”
The moment I heard that, I couldn’t help but be surprised. It was because her voice was so incredibly beautiful that I had never heard it in my life. The princess’s voice was also sweet, but what can I say about this woman’s voice… There was a feeling of mystery.
‘Looks like someone I don’t know.’
If I had heard such a pretty voice, there was no way I would have forgotten it.
“The Goddess said. Come over and meet you.”
what is this guy Your voice is pretty, but your mind is strange? Otherwise…
“So how did you meet? you are handsome?”
“no.”
I asked if he was flirting, and the answer was immediate. It doesn’t look good. sorry
“However.”
“However?”
“Take it easy. The Goddess of War likes people like you.”
Having said that, she left.
What was it in the end?
pseudo?

Vacation began, and Diane de Balboa headed straight to his estate, Crotea. Of course, Charles and Glacia were the same.
However, since northerners could exist even in the capital of the empire, Dian’s escort was strictly guarded. Dozens of cavalry escorted Diane, and in the center was a carriage with Diane and Charles.
“Are there any problems inside?”
Glacia knocked on the carriage window and asked. I opened the window and answered.
“It’s comfortable.”
As expected, the riding comfort of the carriage the count rode was different.
“It’s the second time I’m putting a disciple on this wagon.”
“The first is Yuria, right?”
“yes? How did know?”
to the game story.
“Because I have information power of my own.”
Then she laughed softly.
“The first time Yuria Russell came to my house, she was a 9-year-old child. He was a quiet and timid child.”
“Are you YuRia? I can’t even imagine it when I think of my personality now.”
“I think so too. Previously, Yuria had a small voice and couldn’t talk to people well. Besides, I felt sorry for not being able to adapt to being a member of the guest family, so I remember that I made a lot of effort to get closer to YuRia. In the end, thanks to our friendship, Yuria came to follow me, and she also learned various things from me.”
“Something like strategy tactics or swordsmanship.”
Diane nodded. Diane de Balboa. A strong man with the world’s second largest military force and a sword master. And Dian’s disciple is also destined to become a sword master in the future, so what a great priest.
“How is Yuria now?”
“Honorable, confident, loyal. Although she sometimes gets jealous of me because her loyalty to Her Highness, the princess, is too strong.”
“But that is only what you see. Inside, you will still be a timid and passive child. so… ”
Diane looked at me and said.
“Please take good care of that child from now on.”
“If you ask me… I have no strength.”
“Sounds that are not in your heart. From my point of view, you will soon rise to the center of the academy.”
If it’s in the future, I don’t know. Once I nodded my head.
“If there is anything I can do to help Ms. YuRia, I will help.”
“Thank you.”
While having such conversations, they went up north for several days, and before they knew it, they arrived at a castle called Glintor.
The moment I arrived at the castle, I couldn’t help but be astonished. It was because the entire army of the prince’s corps was gathered there.
Thirty-five thousand. The great army of the continent’s strongest was there.

Upon entering the prince’s camp, Glacia and I took off our Arcadia Academy uniforms and changed into military uniforms. Wearing armor on a military uniform made me feel like a soldier in the Middle Ages. Dian, who was heading to the castle, said.
“Charles, I will tell you your role.”
“Yes.”
“You will command scouts and messengers from now on. Collect maps, scout villages around where troops are going through maps, and make sure there are no surprises or ambushes. Gather the information you have gathered and give me your opinion on future leadership. That is your role.”
In a word, it is a staff member. It’s a role that’s just right for me. Because I was confident in gathering information.
“Yes.”
“And I will introduce the men you will lead. pole! We Go! Come here!”
As Dian shouted, two middle-aged men came running from afar and took a stand at attention.
“listen carefully. This is an academy cadet and my student Charles Jean Rochepole. From today on, I will be your boss.”
“Yes?”
“Is this kid your boss?”
The expressions of the two knights called Paul and Hugo were distorted.
