This aligned with Madara's thoughts; external invasions were merely an outward manifestation of the internal upheaval within this kingdom. However, Madara did not wish to provoke the entire Light Camp, thus retreat was inevitable. Since neither side desired an enduring conflict on the battlefield, peace negotiations were certain. Yet, it felt more like farce to Brand, who knew that the Erune he was willing to fight for was not the Erune of now.
He was waiting for the Regent Princess to ascend the throne.
Of course, he couldn't just do nothing. He thought that after the war, the Royal Family would surely reward some people to set heroes and ease the public. Perhaps there would be a recommendation quota for the Bastia Royal Cavalry Academy, just like in history. However, Brand wasn't interested in that quota. Frankly, he had no interest in entering the outdated system of Erune, but letting Frey further her studies seemed like a good idea.
