It did not take much of my time to reach the prince’s supposed route. However, before it happened I had to adjust the army's route more than once.

It was all due to an issue I encountered. I found that the lag between my scouting planes finding the prince’s group and me arriving there is too large. No matter how much a plane's speed is, it can't just teleport between destinations, creating a delay between the detection and the arrival.

The last opportunity to intercept the prince's army was slipping away rapidly, and to increase the odds I used my secret weapon.

I decided to perform a rapid aerial attack to immobilize the group and while they can’t run away the main force will rapidly attack.

While the main group of dive bombers was dragging behind, I let Willow be the scout. My choice of using jet plane was caused by the Fury’s faster speed which should also decrease the lag between my attack and the enemy’s movement.

“What should I do, Master?” I was instructing my own tails, because Willow digs in the moment I stop walking.

“Your task is to discover the location of the enemy. You should avoid detection, so be careful. When you find them, just return before you are spotted.”

“Yes, I understand. Tell me when I should go.” She responded and returned to her playing.

“Does she bother you?” Grace was both jealous and concerned, by concerned I mean that she is concerned whether Willow is going to forget the task.

“No, you can join her, I will just make the parody of a princess work in your stead.” I invited my second maid to have some fun. Knowing how my maids love to cuddle instead of working, there should be no consequences.

“I shouldn’t, Master. If I won’t be able to fulfill my duties then why am I even here?” (G)

The army marched for one hour until I decided to find the location of the prince’s group.

Following my plan, I launched the jet fighter.

When the enemy force was discovered I estimated the distance between them and me to be 10 kilometers at most. The enemy had a few hundred soldiers and a lot of carriages. My army will catch up in one or two hours, but first I needed to slow the enemy down.

I prepared the ‘Brave New World’ airstrike, materializing above me four flights of Kikka jets with 500 kg bombs. They dived at the enemy column and hit almost all of the carriages, which stopped the enemy from moving forward. The prince’s forces had to regroup into combat formations and prepare to meet me.

During the time my own force was approaching, the enemy set up some basic positions which meant that they will fight. Both armies were mostly standing behind their vanguards because there is not too much space for large forces. The difference was that my army has my own power which can be considered supreme in this world.

I stepped forward with Lily and summoned the gear. I fired ranging shots but did not continue. I waited if Drake will come to me by himself.

A minute later he indeed showed up, with a sword and armor. He was not coming here to talk but to fight.

"Can you make him surrender?"

"Maybe. He is not completely unreasonable." Lily stepped forth, armed to the teeth as well.

The siblings stared at each other for some time before they started talking.

“Brother, you should surrender. If you want to save our Father’s country then you should just step aside.” (L)

“Sister, you perfectly know that what you are proposing is just selling our Father’s country to this fox. While I hoped she will be a friend, now I know that it is too late to talk.” (D)

“You are going to sink the land in blood, this can be avoided so why are you so stubborn? She did not order you to fight but to let her be the leader for the humanity!” (L)

“And you are sure she will just stop there? Power corrupts, and by the looks of things Fuji is completely lost.” (D)

Their debate was making my head hurt. I did not interfere in their own relations so they kept on arguing. Until they reached the boiling point.

“I will not let you sell our lands!” (D)

“I will not let you kill our people!” (L)

With this they ran at each other and started fighting, with swords.

Generally, a mage is not as good as a melee warrior, so Lily was on the losing side. However, she was smart enough to break the distance, and because she was much lighter, she outran her brother.

When she was far enough, the running in circles was over and the mental princess fired some magic.

Her magic missed a lot but she kept on shooting magic projectiles. Few of them hit but even that much was enough to hurt Drake. He was receiving scratches all the time, until his fatigue and pain made him stop.

The prince dropped the sword and raised his hands, surrendering to the inevitable.

The same evening Lily entered the capital, and a few days later she was crowned as the new queen. Drake was sentenced to be put under house arrest until I decide what to do with him.

Soon I returned to my palace and from there I started making war plans for destruction of both the demons and the coalition of human nations.
