“Even with this, it will be quite difficult for our emperor to demand Even Bahu later on.”
Admiral Blahnath raised the corner of his mouth a little more and tilted his head slightly.
“Don’t I think I won’t lose Even Bahu to you even without this vow?”
Nicknamed “the sculpture crafted by the gods,” Allen, who had heard of it but seeing that face before him, felt a tension that he might stumble over words just by that smile.
“So, what… Tell me what you want. Crom Halde?”
Of course, it wasn’t something to say to the enemy’s leader. But since he was going to be a disgraceful son, he thought he might as well shout out loud.
He was also afraid that if he didn’t take Avaruta now, he would pay a bigger price.
His father, Emperor Rudraga, wished for either Allen or Avaruta to die in this war.
“It would be nice to have Crom Halde without shedding blood.”
Is that what you want more? Even after taking Lindkeum and Even Bahu, which were already territories of Eberne?
“Isnack.”
“……?”
Allen forgot even to manage his expression and revealed a raw look. Isnack is not particularly fertile even though it is located in the lower reaches of the river, blocked by a small mountain.
Apart from engaging in minor trade with Lindkeum, it was nothing special, a bit too generous to call a city, just a somewhat large village.
If the admiral were to take possession of Isnark, the trade with Lindkom, which had once been seen as an advantage, would no longer be an advantage.
“If I give you Isnark instead of Krom Hold, will you release Avarita?”
The admiral nodded his head coolly. If he truly desired Isnark, he was undoubtedly a natural negotiator.
There was no apparent desire in his expression, which was hard to read except for a faint smile.
It rather confused Allen.
Was a mine unknown to me discovered in Isnark? Or are there minerals buried underground?
“I don’t know why the admiral wants Isnark.”
At Allen’s sincere answer, the admiral twisted his mouth slightly and smiled.
“You don’t need to know. It’s a personal reason.”
“The Blahnath family, who seized Lindkom, the territory of old Eberun, seems to want Krom Hold and Isnark as well. Do you feel guilty about the destruction of Eberun?”
It’s not likely.
But how Prince Allen thought of it was beyond Cassard’s concern. There was no need to say that he wanted Isnark because of Skaha.
Seeing Cassard not respond, Prince Allen seemed to understand in that direction and solidify his thoughts.
“Fine. If you send Avarita right here, I’ll hand over Isnark.”
(This is a time separator.)
Since he met the envoy who secretly came from the Tesia Imperial Army, Skaha had been sitting blankly on the bed for several hours.
She thought she had been forgotten. She thought no one was looking for her anymore. She had lived comfortably since successfully avoiding the pursuit of the Tesia Empire.
In the end, it was right that she was no better than a ‘common woman’ he once said, without even the right to be forgotten as a ruined princess.
Just now, the words ‘you resemble Princess Erwin’ that the elders of the Lindkom domain handed her like a compliment came to her mind, and her whole body shivered like a quaking aspen.
Maybe Etin, who saved Skaha, would be in danger too.
I should kill.
His short and simple word did not leave her heart as if it were stuck.
She even thought about revealing to him that she was Princess Erwin and would never cooperate with the deposed emperor.
But thinking of the red eyes that had coldly aimed an uncooled gun at her, asking if she was a spy, and that had abandoned her without hesitation for his honor in the past, she suddenly became afraid.
Even if that man still loves her, how long can it last? A man who can use her for his purpose once the love is over.
Even now, he’s not considering how unhappy she’ll be, but he’s keeping her by his side.
Already, he is a man who confines Skaha to the manor and immobilizes her; it was certain that if he knew she was Erwin Del Adnera, he would never let her go.
He might even intensely ponder how to use her, turning his good mind.
How can I leave him? How can I be forgotten by everyone?
As Skaha was caught in desperate thoughts, he returned.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
