The loss of the army can always be compensated, but if something happens to the Empress, it's truly over.
Angelina's decisive order to retreat left her two allies a bit bewildered. They each sent envoys to communicate with her, but she couldn't be bothered to explain, saying only, "I will lead the retreat."
Mounting her warhorse, Angelina instructed her confidants to drag the Empress' ice sculpture onto a carriage and began the frustrating retreat.
Before the withdrawal, she looked back, still unable to understand which link went wrong. Why did the enemy's offensive become stronger after Christine's incident, and even the morale heightened?

Christine didn't care what her subordinates thought, as long as they followed orders.
Frozen into an ice sculpture, the generals of the Alliance Army felt a bit sad but also breathed a sigh of relief.
