After the battle against the flock of dragon was over, I was busy evaluating the sanctions I would give to all of Marquess Roml's knights who violated my previous orders.
The order I gave was clear enough to skin the scale of this dragon flock alive, but they defied that order and imdiately killed this dragon flock that was being controlled remotely.
"I knew this tar magic would be troubleso..."
"However, a knight who openly defies my orders like this just makes even more annoyed with the current situation," I grumbled in a small tone while watching the Black Maid unit, who were collecting all the dragon scales that had been engraved with the symbol of the opposing noble family that we would face in the upcoming war season.
My goal at this mont is to show all the knights of Marquess Roml who are following this military expedition about the enemy who is attacking us from behind the shadows.
On the white tarpaulin, I could see various dragon scales that bore the engravings of the noble family symbols of the Aurora Kingdom and evidence that had been left behind of their involvent with a group of tars who had mobilized a flock of dragons to attack Marquess Roml's knights, who were in the dense forest.
Attacking one of Marquess Roml's Military Divisions in his own territory was a declaration of war that my father would have accepted with open arms and high enthusiasm.
Whether this was a surprise attack from behind the shadows or a provocative surprise attack that wanted to test Marquess Roml's Knight strength, I can only conclude one thing about this.
"They've already dared to enter Marquess Roml's territory, huh?" I muttered after coming to this conclusion while waiting for several dragon scale samples to be neatly arranged in front of .
"If I left them like this, they will beco even more brazen in violating territorial borders."
"Is there any other way to prevent this?" I muttered in a questioning tone, hoping for an answer that would solve this problem.
Caress...
Caress...
"Lily-nee... you seem to be busy thinking about sothing. Is there a big problem after the dragon flock attack ended?"
My cheek suddenly felt a soft touch from Alyssa's fingers, and I heard her soft voice whisper in my ear.
"Oh, Alyssa. I was just thinking about the dragon flocks that can freely enter Marquess Roml's territory. I plan to do sothing about this."
"This flock of naughty dragons, huh?" Alyssa moved her fingers across my cheek as if she was wiping the sweat that fell down my cheek, and wiped it with her handkerchief.
"Yes, I feel that the only vulnerability we have at the mont is our inability to deal surprise attacks from the air. The knights we currently have are only capable of using sword techniques and interdiate magic abilities. Only our mother is capable of dealing with aerial attacks. Thanks to this dragon flock attack, I've reconsidered this crucial vulnerability," I said to Alyssa as I expressed my thoughts on this matter.
"Hmm... it would be a big problem if a military family had a Magic Division like the royal family. Co to think of it... should I report this to Mother, Lily-nee?" Alyssa asked while still wiping my cheeks, which were covered in sweat during the day.
"Report that as a form of tactical consideration for the future. For now, we must focus on the current problem," I said while looking at one of the Black Maid units who had finished placing the dragon scale sample covered with carvings of the Aurora Kingdom's noble family crest.
With the dragon scale samples arranged for all of Marquess Roml's knights to see, I glanced at one of the military officers who was at the ready with a trumpet in her hand.
Nod...
With a small nod, I imdiately gave her a small code to sound her trumpet.
Treett...
Trreettt...
As the trumpet sounded loudly, all of Marquess Roml's Knights lined up according to their Military Divisions and fell silent to receive further orders.
I imdiately took out the command baton that my father had given to beca a Matriarch who replaced Marquess Roml as the highest command holder.
Alyssa, who was wiping my sweat with her handkerchief, imdiately stopped her hand movents after the sound of the trumpet ended.
"Lily-nee... please don't scold them too harshly," whispered Alyssa with a gentle smile.
"Don't worry, I don't want to scold them because that would be a hassle to do," I replied as I walked towards the middle of the row that was filled with various dragon scale samples.
Tap...
Tap...
With my heavy footsteps, I could feel the tension from all of Marquess Roml's knights who felt guilty after disregarding my previous orders.
I don't want to waste my important ti on this kind of thing, though.
However, I have to discipline them, so that an incident like this doesn't happen again.
My footsteps stopped in front of a pile of red dragon scale samples that had been burned to charcoal, and that was a good thing because the carvings of the noble family symbols would be clearly visible if burned with fire.
I took a slow breath in and exhaled slowly.
Swuurrll...
Using a silent magic chant, I imdiately opened my magic storage box to store my magic staff and hold the command baton when speaking in front of all of Marquess Roml's knights, who were lined up in front of .
My hand holding the command baton was raised upwards as if to signal that all attention should be on .
After my breathing had cald down enough, I began to speak in a gentle tone of voice.
"I know what you're all thinking right now." With these gentle words, I imdiately directed my gaze to the dragon scales that were full of carvings of the symbols of the opposition noble families that were currently famous.
"As you all can see, I have a reason for giving an order to peel off the dragon's scales alive and torture the tar who is controlling it."
"The order I gave may sound cruel to all of you, but it is filled with crucial reasons behind it. That was to delivering a counterattack capable of destroying the enemy's ntal and sanity. In other words, we are sending a ssage to the enemy not to ss with Knight Marquess Roml."
"But... most of you... just kill the dragon so that the tar who controlling it doesn't share the pain. I'm disappointed with this decision of yours, and I've conveyed that disappointnt to your military superiors."
"From now on, I want you to understand that the enemy who is targeting Marquess Roml's territory in the war between nobles is not just one... but seven opposing noble families who are working together to destroy Marquess Roml's family."
"I hope... all of you can see these dragon scales and reflect on the mistakes you have made..." With these final words, I imdiately went to the central command tent to rest for a while after thinking about the words I said.

Tap...
Tap...
I imdiately entered the central command tent and let all of Marquess Roml's Knights see the candidates for their future enemies.
To give a glimpse into the future that the Marquess Roml family would pursue, it is enough to show a sample of dragon scales that have the symbol of the opposition noble family engraved on them.
My footsteps continued walking towards the main chair, which was my seat, and I threw the command baton into my magic storage box.
Swuurrll...
"My Monarch, those are wise words and impressive actions. I rarely see a leader who openly expresses her disappointnt without giving punishnt. I am touched by your noble actions, my Monarch!" Suddenly, I heard the sound of a cursed weapon flying towards .
This cursed, unnad weapon seed to be praising my previous actions.
I ignored her remark and sat down in my chair to read the map that contained records of wild animals, wild monsters, wild plants, and magical plants.
Swiirrll...
Swiirrll...
This naless, cursed weapon flew around , and the entrance of the central command tent was opened by my military officers, who entered the central command tent to give so report.
"Matriarch Lily-sama, we have received a report from the Black Maid unit regarding an opposition noble family, who openly declaring war on the Marquess Roml family," said one of the military officers while handing over a sheet of paper containing a list of the opposition noble families.
I received the piece of paper and read its contents.
As far as I have learned through the stealth sli herd that is currently serving as a spy agent, there are several opposition noble families that are known to be hostile to Marquess Roml's family.
The main enemies that have been identified are the noble family who have twins, and the reincarnator from another world that my Goddess has told about.
My hand imdiately took a pencil and circled the na of the opposition noble family as the main enemy to be wary of.
Srreett...
While the rest did not attract much attention because their territory was adjacent to the territory of Marquess Roml.
"You should be more careful with this opposition noble family."
"As for the other opposition noble families, I have prepared a neat surprise attack for them. So, there is no need to worry," I said while handing over a sheet of paper containing a list of the opposition noble families who had officially beco enemies of Marquess Roml.
The military officer received the sheet of paper and saw the nas of the noble families that needed to be watched out for.
"This noble family... aren't they famous lately for their innovation and the genius of their twins?" asked the military official, as if wanting to get more information from .
"Well, innovation or genius, it's really troubleso to deal with when the war season between nobles starts," I replied in a flat tone and leaned my back against the back of the chair.
"Matriach Lily-sama, if I may ask, does this opposition noble family have a chance of defeating Marquess Roml's family?" the military official further asked.
This question from the military officer caught the attention of the other military officer and put in a difficult position to ignore the question.
My index finger imdiately covered my lips and let out a calm breath.
"Shhh... I've already thought of a plan about that, and this military expedition is intended to carry out that plan," I said while pressing for secrecy regarding this matter.
"A-Aaahh! I see. Forgive for being so impudent, Matriach Lily-sama!" The military official suddenly bowed her body before .
"There's no need to worry about that. As long as the plan works, it'll be fine. The most important thing is... don't disappoint ," I replied, as watching the other military officers bow to .
Seeing all the military officials bowing towards , it was as if I was forcing them to do this.
Sraasshh...
As all the military officers inside the central command tent bowed their bodies towards , my twin sister and Mio entered the tent.
"Um, did we co at a bad ti, Onee-sama?" asked Alice, looking confused by the current situation.
"You ca in at just the right ti, Alice. They were just apologizing for doubting the plans that had been drawn up for the war season."
The presence of my twin sister made the atmosphere in the central command tent feel tense, especially with the dragon scale sample that Mio brought.
"Hmm? What are you girls going to do with the dragon scale samples?" I asked my twin sisters.
"We actually wanted to ask Onee-sama to use teleportation and hand over this evidence to our Mother. With this kind of evidence, I'm sure Mother will do sothing about the opposition noble families around our territory," said Alice, briefly explaining the situation.
"Ooh, that's a pretty good idea. Our mother will definitely do sothing soon if seeing this."
I imdiately stood up from my seat and rushed towards the outside command tent to call Momo.
Tap...
Tap...
"Momo..." With this gentle call, the cursed Odachi that was flying freely in the air imdiately ca to answer my call.
Bllaaarrr...
With her long and heavy Odachi sheath, Momo fell in front of and stuck her cursed Odachi sheath into the ground to answer my call.
"Yes, my Monarch?" Momo replied after standing in front of .
Without further ado, I imdiately pulled the hilt of the cursed Odachi to open a teleportation slash that connected this place to Marquess Roml's Main Mansion.
Slaasshh!!
Bllaaarrr!!
With a teleportation slash created in front of , I quickly stepped back to let my twin sister in.
Greepp...
Greepp...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, my twin sisters hugged my right and left arms.
"I'm handing over the leadership of this place to you all again, as this is an important report that needs to be delivered in person with Lily-nee."
"Onee-sama... let's report this important matter together!"
I was then taken back to Marquess Roml's Main Mansion by force with my twin sister.
"Huh? Why?!"
