Chapter 168: Cassius' past

"Unexpectedly, your Majesty also knew the colonel before." With the aroma of black tea, after eliminating the tension of meeting a national leader for the first time, Esther expressed surprise at the sigh of the queen in front of him. If Colonel Richard knew his father because of his work, then why did the queen, the head of state, know his father?
"He is the friend of my deceased child, and the hero who saved the kingdom." Queen Alicia sipped a sip of black tea and exclaimed, "If the war ten years ago hadn't had his hard work on the battlefield... This place, this country, I don’t know if it will exist..."
"Actually, I am not very clear about this matter..." Estil said hesitantly. Since learning that his father had been very active in the Hundred Days War and was even called a national hero, Esther I was always very curious about what happened at that time, "Father never told us this..."
"Perhaps, he wants you to hear this from my mouth?" The queen half-joked and half-seriously said, "you young people...willing to listen to me as an elderly person. Tell the story?"
"Of course!" "Listen carefully." Estiel and Joshua immediately gave a positive answer, while Heliga was lost in thought.
"What's the matter?" the Queen asked kindly, "Where is it uncomfortable?"
"...I know a little about the heroic deeds of Mr. Cassius, which is why I am uncomfortable..." Heliga shook his head, "Maybe, I should avoid it next?"
"It's okay, you don't need to worry, these things have already passed." The queen said relievedly, "In any case, they are things done by the people of the last era, and have little to do with your younger generation."
"What you said is that I was worrying too much." Well, let's re-understand this matter from the perspective of the victim of this matter.
"...So, where do you start... Heilija, since you said you know the causes and consequences of this matter... Then, do you want to start this? Just start with the cause of the war... Look at what you know."
"Ah... OK." Nodded and took a deep breath, Heliga considered his words, "The Hundred Days War happened ten years ago... The fuse of the war was a village in the southern part of the Erebonian Empire. The attack that took place. After that, the empire launched a war on this ground."
"Excuse me, what happened?" Esther asked curiously, who knew nothing about these things.
"It's the war with neighboring countries caused by ordinary border conflicts, right?" Joshua gave Estiel a white look. "This kind of thing will be taught in school tomorrow..."
"Uhhh..." Estill, who had an unhappy face but was unable to attack because of the Queen's presence in front of her, had to snorted and turned her face away to sulking.
"The entire cause of the incident has not been ascertained..." The queen's eyes were regretful and painful, "but with this as the beginning, the empire launched a large-scale war against Libel... the elite mecha divisions and The celebrities came out all the time. Except for Gransell, the capital of the Great Wall guardian, Liber’s land was occupied in an instant. Moreover, the number of imperial forces that invaded Liber was more than three times that of the Kingdom of Liber. However, When all supplies were cut off, it was only a matter of time before the king was occupied. It was in this case that the passive war situation had undergone a huge reversal. Using the security airship that was only developed at that time, the Kingdom Army would connect The checkpoints in various places were retaken one by one, and the imperial army was cut off. Then, with the Reston Fortress as the starting force, the total force of the imperial army attacked by water airships and successfully regained each area. The imperial army's supply line was cut After that, the Royal Army will destroy the imperial divisions one by one. And the person who made the counter-offensive plan is--"
There was a deliberate pause here, and the queen found that the three children in front of her were listening carefully to her words, "General Morgan’s right-hand man, Colonel Richard’s immediate superior, and the father of your two children-Cassiu Colonel S. Bright."
"Ah..." Esther exclaimed. Even though she was ignorant of war strategy issues, she understood what an amazing feat her father had accomplished. "After that..."
"Shortly thereafter, under the arbitration of the Guerrilla Association and the Qiyao Church, the hundred-day war ended." Queen Alicia closed her eyes, and her tone suddenly became full of regret, "But just At that time... Colonel Cassius lost his favorite and most important person... Ms. Lena Bright... and Esther your mother."
"Ah..." The extremely limited, warm memory of her mother suddenly appeared in Estir's mind.
"When the counterattack was about to win, the desperate Imperial Army Division, in order to retaliate against the Kingdom Army, shelled and destroyed the clock tower, which is the symbol of Llorente. You know the rest... Colonel Cassius, and even the last of his wife. I didn’t even see... but the battle plan he made up was the cause of the death of his wife... Cassius who thought this way fell into deep self-blame, so he decided to retire from the army and take precedence. The way of the taxi is also to protect the only relative who survived the war, beside you..."
"Idiot... Dad..." Estil choked with sobs, her eyes flushed, "It's because of father's fault that mother left or something... It's obviously not like this..."
"Estil..." said thoughtfully, Joshua just put his hand on the girl's shoulder gently.
"...Yes, that's correct." Queen Alicia's voice also became lower. "Actually, all these tragedy long shots should be my own people who didn't protect their own people. The queen’s fault. I’m sorry, Estir. I failed to protect your mother... It’s gratifying that even without a mother, you still grow up to be a child worthy of Cassius and worthy of my pride. ..."
"Your Majesty..." Estelle said moved, but she was interrupted by the Queen again when she said her words: "However, because of this...I don't want you to encounter any more danger. Deal with the monsters and find the lost items. These trivial matters are fine, but this incident is beyond the reach of you and even my ability...No matter what the ending is, I don’t want you to be involved in this incident again."
The queen's next words sounded no different from a bolt from the blue to Estir.
