"I... I... In... INCREDIIBLE!" A cheerful shout blurted out of Pierre's mouth as the battle began and events unfolded. "THE AMAZING TACTICS OF GRAELiAN'S BRAND NEW KNIGHT-COMMANDER HAS GIVEN HER ARMY A HUGE LEAD IN POINTS! To achieve something like this in her very first battle, on her debut, is truly just amazing!" The commentator spoke praise, as he was almost frothing at the mouth with excitement.
"My oh my~" The Queen of Vilante looked with mild surprise, then cupped her cheek in her palm and a playful smile crept onto her lips. "Such a talented young girl, I kind of wish she'd come and join my kingdom now."
"Hahaha, so even the Queen of the great Vilante Knights agrees that our fledgeling Commander is doing a good job?"
"Oh yes, no doubt about that."
"Are you worried this'll have any effect on your army, Queen Parfait?"
"Hmm... It's never fun lagging behind so early on." She put a finger on her chin as she contemplated an answer. "... But I believe we'll recover~ After all, no matter how good a plan or how sound a tactic is, there's no such thing as a fool-proof plan." A sly, if not outright mischievous, smirk lent itself to the beautiful queen's lips as she finished her reply.
"Oh-ho!? You hear that, everyone? Looks like VIlante's not giving up just yet! And they might even have a surprise up their sleeves, Graelian soldiers, stay on your toes!"
As Pierre continued to comment and narrate on the battle, the spectators who had come out to watch the battle were now whipped into an almost frenzy-like state. Cheers and shouts could be heard as people clapped their hands, shouting the names of their family-members or idols who were partaking in the fight as well as chanting rhymes and songs to spur their respective army onwards. Even a small gathering of Graelian fanboys, dedicated to the Knight-Commander's squire, had gathered and unfurled their banners and flags, crying out their tiny goddess' name and cheering for her in a wild and zealous fashion.
However, there were also a few people who looked somewhat disappointed. Many of them were confused why the Princess hadn't arrived at the battlefield yet - and where was this supposed surprise she had promised? War-games were fine and all, but if she was the one who had declared war and organized the whole thing, shoulkdn't she at least be present? Of course, this was a minority of the people gathered, and the vast, overwhelming majority were too entrhralled and wrapped up in the excitement of the war to even notice the Princess wasn't present.
