I'LL HAVE TO PUNISH YOU FOR THAT. PARDON? WALTER HEIBERGH. STEP FORWARD. HOLD OUT YOUR HAND. ABOUT THOSE STONES YOU HAVE... GIVE THEM TO THE COMMANDER IF YOU DON'T NEED THEM. HUH? YOU'LL GET TO SEE SOMETHING INTERESTING IF YOU GIVE THEM TO HIM. CONSIDER IT REPAYMENT FOR THE BONE. THIS BETTER BE WORTH IT. WHAT... WHAT ARE THESE? DOES HE REALLY LIKE THEM THAT MUCH? A... BRIBE. A BRIBE? THAT'S RIGHT. IF YOU PROMISE NOT TO CALL ME "YOUR MAJESTY" IN PRIVATE, I'LL GIVE THEM TO YOU. BOTH OF THEM. IS HE REALLY HESITATING... OVER SOME... ROCKS? DO YOU NOT LIKE THEM? THEN-- I WILL OBEY YOUR COMMAND. WALTER HEIBERGH, THE 28-YEAR-OLD COMMANDER OF PHARNAS, I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF STONES WITH TRACES OF GOLD, BUT NEVER WITH A PATTERN THIS BEAUTIFUL. COLLECTS ROCKS AS A HOBBY. YOU'VE TAKEN A LOSS. YOU KNOW I'D FOLLOW YOUR ORDERS REGARDLESS. HEY-NOW. I DID THIS SO THINGS WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE BETWEEN US. IF I WANTED OBEDIENCE, I'D JUST GIVE ORDERS. THANK YOU, ARCY. I'LL TREASURE THEM. G-GOOD... THE WORLD IS A BIG PLACE. THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. I SHOULD GIVE GEN A REWARD OR SOMEONE. I'M GLAD THAT PUT YOU IN A BETTER MOOD. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE BEFORE LONG. NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT MATTERS OF THE CENTRAL COMMAND. THE PALACE WILL BE REORGANIZED SOON AS WELL. THAT'S NOT WHY YOU'LL BE BUSY... WELL, YOU'LL FIND OUT WHY SOON ENOUGH. C-C-COMMANDER! WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM! WHAT NOW? PLEASE READ THIS! IT'S A LETTER THAT WHIS JUST BROUGHT! A DUKE IS DECLARING INDEPENDENCE, AND YOU'RE THIS CALM?! I'M RELIEVED I LOOK CALM. HUH? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DOOR? IT'S SPLIT CLEAN IN HALF. OH? HELLO, MR. GEN. H-HUH? UH... I MEAN, GREETINGS... TURN DID YOU TELL HIM? YES. GEN. SHOW HER MAJESTY PROPER RESPECT. R-RIGHT... Y-YOUR M-MA...JES...TY. AWKWARD NEVER MIND THAT. TAKE YOUR TIME. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT INDEPENDENCE? DUKE KIEL SAYS HE'S DECLARING INDEPENDENCE WITH THREE OTHER LANDOWNERS! THEY'RE UNITING THE WESTERN TERRITORIES INTO AN INDEPENDENT STATE... ...AND TELLING US NOT TO GET INVOLVED!!! OUTRAGEOUS, ISN'T IT?! THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT. WHAT? PAUSE A MAN WHO DEVOTED HIS ENTIRE LIFE TO THE KINGDOM WOULDN'T MAKE SUCH A DECISION SO EASILY. IF HE WERE COMMITTING OUTRIGHT TREASON, THAT'D BE ONE THING. I AGREE. THIS ISN'T THE REACTION I WAS EXPECTING... IT'S A PROCLAMATION. WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? WHIS-- I MEAN, THE CAPTAIN OF THE FIRST RECON UNIT GAVE IT TO ME. HE SAYS THE DUKE ALSO DISTRIBUTED IT DIRECTLY TO OTHER LANDOWNERS. DIRECTLY? NOT THROUGH DIPLOMATIC CHANNELS? THIS QUICKLY? I KNEW DUKE KIEL WAS GATHERING TROOPS. AH, WELL... INDEPENDENCE INSTEAD OF REBELLION. IT SOUNDS FAR MORE LEGITIMATE ON THE SURFACE, BUT... IF HE HAD ENOUGH TROOPS TO FOUND A NATION, REBELLION WOULD BE THE FAR MORE RATIONAL MOVE. LOSE THE BATTLE TO WIN THE WAR... THAT'S HOW THAT OLD FOX OPERATES. FIRST, HE TAKES A SHOCKING, ALMOST FOOLISH LOSS TO LOWER HIS OPPONENT'S DEFENSES. THEN, WHEN THEY LET THEIR GUARD SLIP, HE SINKS HIS TEETH INTO THEIR THROAT. SO WHAT IS THE BATTLE HE'S LOSING? AND WHAT IS THE WAR HE INTENDS TO WIN? YOU SAID I'D BE MOVING INTO THE PALACE SOON, DIDN'T YOU? WHEN WILL THAT BE? IN ABOUT A MONTH. GO AHEAD AND ANNOUNCE THAT THE CORONATION WILL BE HELD ON THAT DATE. THERE'S NO NEED TO ACTUALLY PREPARE THE CEREMONY. JUST SPREAD THE MESSAGE QUICKLY. YOU MEAN... YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS PUBLIC? EXACTLY. I'M GOING TO GIVE THE DUKE A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE. YOU'RE FAR FROM ORDINARY, ARSH-- I-I MEAN, YOUR MAJESTY. REMEMBER YOUR MANNERS, GEN. I KNOW, I KNOW. IT'S JUST AWKWARD. STILL, IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE SOMEONE SO YOUNG OUT-TALKING DUKE KIEL. THAT'S NOT ALL. EVEN THOSE SLY OLD NOBLES TUCKED THEIR TAILS BETWEEN THEIR LEGS BEFORE HER. AND JUST EARLIER, SHE BARELY HESITATED BEFORE ISSUING COMMANDS, WITH NOT EVEN A SHRED OF FEAR. IS SHE REALLY JUST 20 YEARS OLD? IS IT REALLY THAT SURPRISING? OF COURSE IT IS. I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE SO YOUNG WITH SUCH AN OLD SOUL IN MY ENTIRE LYCAN LIFE. THAT'S TRUE. EVEN I FEEL LIKE A CHILD EVERY TIME I SPEAK WITH HER. D-DID THE COMMANDER JUST CHUCKLE? THE MORE I SEE HER, THE MORE INTRIGUING SHE BECOMES. ANOTHER YEAR OF GOOD HARVEST. THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR EXCELLENT WINE. STILL, THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IS TIME. THE PATIENCE TO WAIT FOR IT TO AGE. IF EVEN WINE REQUIRES THAT, HOW DARE SOME WHELP COVET THIS PRECIOUS LAND? FATHER, ATLIND DUKE KIEL'S SON THERE YOU ARE. A DOCUMENT ARRIVED FROM THE PALACE. THEY SAY THE CORONATION WILL BE HELD IMMEDIATELY. WASN'T THE PLAN TO LURE THAT WOMAN TO THE FOUNDING DAY CEREMONY AND TAKE HER HOSTAGE? THEN USE WE'D THE TROOPS WE PREPARED TO STRIKE THE PALACE AND... FINE. LET'S SEE WHO WINS THIS WAR. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Dawn of Vengeance #10](/series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6/chapter-10-kccigr) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
