EP.429
A year and a half later, near the Chemin Plain, Francois Republic.
I have a headache right now because of the crown prince who is so close to me.
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince, it will be difficult for you to travel for a long time on horseback. From now on, how about moving on to the carriage and traveling comfortably?”
At those words, our Crown Prince Albert smiled very brightly.
“The Emperor (Father the Emperor) told me to watch closely and learn from each and every word and action of the Master. He also told me to ask anything I didn’t know about how to handle the military. Moreover, the soldiers are now marching carrying military equipment weighing more than tens of kilos, so how can I ride a carriage and travel comfortably alone?”
Every single thing you said is correct, but if there is one thing that our Crown Prince lacks in the current situation, it is tact.
I, too, would feel comfortable and happy if I could go on a long march while chatting with Laura or Charlotte.
Moreover, His Majesty, who is in his early 20s, keeps asking me questions, pointing at the military textbooks he brought with him from the Staff College, as if he was so curious about something.
‘Other people crazy about power may not know this, but I don’t want to teach you during the march.’
“I may be Your Highness the Crown Prince’s teacher, but haven’t I taught you anything? In fact, it is an honorary position.”
At those words, His Highness shook his head.
“The Emperor said that every word that comes out of the Grand Marshal’s mouth is more valuable and precious than what is written in a textbook. And Lieutenant General Falcon, who is my practical teacher, also said that he would like to learn alongside me, so I will study hard to become a great emperor in the future.”
Since I began teaching at the General Staff College, the direction of imperial military studies has changed in line with the operations and doctrines I advocated.
And even now, when I say something, if I look for it after a certain period of time, I find that the empire’s military doctrine has changed to match it.
It is true that there is no exaggeration in His Majesty the Crown Prince’s words.
“Okay then, I will answer as best as I can.”
At those words, a wide smile appeared on His Highness Albert’s face.
“Then there is something I would like to ask about supply. Why is the Imperial Army trying to provide as many different types of food as possible? “If you think about efficiency, it would be okay to unify it into biscuits, beef jerky, and beans.”
“This is to maintain the mental stability and health of the soldiers.”
“Is that so?”
It’s good that His Highness the Crown Prince is interested in the military…
Even if it’s annoying, we should try our best to instill the right knowledge in him.
“Ordinary soldiers going to war are physically exhausted because they have to march for more than several hours a day according to orders. At the same time, we have to experience the anxiety that the enemy might surprise us at any moment and come to kill us. Additionally, no matter how nicely a war is packaged, isn’t its essence about killing and killing each other?”
“That’s right.”
“However, officers and commanders like me can gain honor, social status, wealth, and fame through war, but ordinary soldiers only get a few silver coins or gold coins if they are lucky enough to make achievements in war. “It’s too harsh a price to risk one’s life for.”
Even for an ordinary serf, a few silver coins is only enough to cover a few months’ salary, and a gold coin is enough to be a lump sum that can change one’s life… In
general, with the exception of non-commissioned officers and above, the proportion of soldiers who receive gold coins as rewards is at most 1%. Just a little bit.
‘There are very few people who come in expecting to receive a lump sum of money as a reward.’
“So, you have to give them something to eat and make them as happy as possible during meal times. Additionally, if you eat well, you will get less sick and your fighting power will increase. “The Imperial Logistics Command exists for that purpose.”
His Royal Highness looked at me and his eyes lit up.
“The textbooks published by the General Staff College do not contain stories related to the lives of the people, but you are also a teacher. In that sense, is there a connection between understanding the lives of poor people and becoming a master craftsman?”
I sighed inwardly as I listened to the questions continue.
Still, I couldn’t refuse it because it was an order, not an order from His Majesty, and the current situation was not very urgent…
‘I guess I should just answer everything, right?’
In this way, I answered all of His Highness’s endless questions over the course of several hours.
And when we arrived at today’s proposed camping site…
“There is a reason to use war merchants separately from supply. When war was not urgent, unit commanders would often allow their men to have prostitutes at night or feed them alcohol and meat to help maintain morale. “In particular, for soldiers, most of whom are rural youth, having a ‘woman’ is a luxury rather than a luxury, so it is very effective in boosting morale.”
“okay. “I also need to say that we need to create textbooks that reflect the psychology of the serf people in military doctrine.”
At this point, I finished today’s conversation and was about to leave to give directions for setting up the camp, but the crown prince looked at me with an expression that seemed to have an urgent problem.
“That master?”
“yes.”
The crown prince bit his lip and hesitated.
“Is that…”
Then His Royal Highness blushed and asked.
“There’s something I’d like to ask you about dating.”
When I heard this question, I clearly felt what it was like to feel a tug in the back of my head.
‘Is this the right thing for a Grand Marshal to do, at least to take care of the Crown Prince’s love life?’
However, since His Majesty the Crown Prince’s love life is important in this war, I think it is right for me to help as much as possible.
I was also the one who ordered the death of the remaining family members of our Crown Princess… But
since Her Majesty the Crown Prince does not know ‘the circumstances’ yet, there is nothing we can do.
“Ask anything and we will answer as sincerely as possible.”
“The difference is that Lina doesn’t open her heart to me. My father tells me to become a good couple with her soon. “I still have no idea what to do.”
I’m not a couple’s counselor, how do I solve this?
Still, it would be better for those two to become a good couple…
because it would be helpful for future operations.
I will have to seriously think about it with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
“Colonel Stoll, I have a separate problem to consider today. “Tell the second-in-command that I will entrust you with setting up the camp.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I killed all of them except for at least the bodyguards.
“Hey, I don’t think this will be easy… but please wait a moment.”
Let’s see, I guess we should start by looking at what kind of life our Crown Princess Rina has led.
First of all, 10 years before I was born, Francois’ empire collapsed.
All of his immediate male descendants, including his grandfather, who was an emperor, were caught up in the madness of the people and died.
Afterwards, he continued to live in exile, wandering around various countries, and lost both his mother and father to the assassin François at the age of 16.
At the age of 19, I contracted it and even lost my younger brothers among the only remaining members of my family.
‘He lost most of his family to death at a young age, so he lived in a miserable environment where everyone he cared about died and left him. Because of that memory, it would be very difficult for her to open her heart because she was afraid that if she gave her heart to the crown prince, he would leave her. But…’
From here, I was quickly able to think of a way for His Royal Highness Prince Albert to capture Princess Lina’s heart.

“There is one good way.”
The crown prince’s eyes lit up when he heard what I said.
“Are you sure, Master?”
It’s always cute to see a young friend’s eyes light up about his love life.
Do you think I was like this when I first started dating Laura?
“The Crown Princess has lost many family members, so she is very lonely and is afraid that when she opens her heart again, the other person will leave her like that again.”
“Of course, I also cried a lot when His Majesty Sang-tae passed away last year. “Even though he passed away peacefully at the age of over 80.”
The crown prince’s eyes looked a little lonely.
“Even more so, what about the loneliness and fear that Her Majesty the Crown Princess feels?”
Albert heard me and opened his eyes wide as if he realized something.
“Ah, are you saying you’re going to take advantage of that opportunity?”
“Yes, you must embrace Her Royal Highness all of her loneliness and fear. Speak kindly to him and show him that as the crown prince and husband, you will not leave him, nor will he die, and that you will always be by his side. “You have to have faith.”
The majority of nobles in the Empire and Europa continent are people whose first relationship is marriage.
Moreover, our Crown Princess Lina is a person who has suffered greatly from loss…
‘She will naturally open her heart to Her Highness the Crown Prince’s one-sided love.’
If things don’t work out, the Crown Princess is the one who just needs to play the role of ‘creating a cause’…
‘Like other noble families, the royal family should hope to get along well with neglected concubines.’
I feel a little sorry for His Highness the Crown Prince, and I may feel guilty when I look at our Crown Princess… but
before I am a human being, I am the Grand Marshal of the Empire.
National interest comes first.
“It will be a great comfort to you as you are someone who desperately needs someone’s love and a strong family you can rely on. Please listen carefully to the words of Her Majesty the Crown Princess. And please embrace the pain with love. “It will be fine.”
At those words, the crown prince’s eyes sparkled and he lowered his head towards me.
“I never thought this method would work! “You are also a teacher.”
… No, it’s advice that anyone can give.
“By the way, Your Majesty.”
“Yes Master.”
“Are you sure that you have fallen in love with Her Majesty the Crown Princess? Although I pushed ahead with this plan, the two of you have not yet officially entered into an engagement. “Hasn’t it been less than a month?”
It’s been a month since I first saw your face.
‘Unlike other marriages, those two haven’t even had sex yet.’
At those words, His Highness Albert blushed and signaled for me to listen.
When I brought it to my ear, it whispered in a low voice.
“I tell you that Master has been like an uncle to me since I was young. “I like women with big breasts and slim figures.”
… The Crown Princess has exactly that type of body.
It must have been love at first sight.
“I fell in love the first time I saw it. So the young maids used themselves as practice…”
I think I know what it is, so please stop.
I know you’re in love, but please don’t go crazy, Your Highness…
“I understand. It is also stated in the ‘Observation Record of the Maids’ that Her Highness suffers from loneliness a lot. My words will work. Let’s go ahead and spend some time with His Majesty Rain. “Starting tomorrow, Your Majesty and Your Highness will have to do something to change the ‘direction of the war.’”
