Chapter 46 - Five in the Forest, Before the Raid The night of the following day… I stepped inside the forest close to the palace where Drake usually resided. The sky was heavy with clouds, hiding the moon and stars: the perfect weather for an ambush. “Which is all well and good…but why are you here, again?” When Sakuya and I reached the site the minister Lauros had told us about, for some reason Sue, Roh, and even Xiao Mao came after us, despite not being of any help in a fight. “Ah, I thought I…

Chapter 45 - Protests, Excuses, and Intercourse After the midnight meeting was done, I returned to the ship, anchored at the port. In the captain’s cabin I used as a bedroom, Sakuya and Sue were on the bed. They were both fully naked, for some reason: Sue was lying down, as if in defeat, and Sakuya was on top of her, arms crossed with pride. “I have won today. Technique proves superior to power.” “...really. Good for you.” Sakuya had exacted her revenge, apparently. Despite her usual lack of…

Chapter 44 - Plotting in the DarkThat night, I visited the mansion designated by the old man. The building, located on the outskirts of the town, was completely dark: no lights were on, as if it was deserted. I had Sue and Sakuya return to the ship first: if anything happened, they were to leave me and escape from the port. I knocked on the backdoor five times, as the old man requested. “I have been expecting you. Please, this way.” The door was opened by the same old man I met earlier that day, now…

Chapter 43 - The Colony’s Shadows “W-We had no other choice!! Do you even know what happens to those who dare oppose Lord Drake!? They’re captured, taken to the palace, and tortured without mercy!! We are only trying to protect ourselves here!!” The man spat excuse after excuse, trying to justify their position. I sat through his desperate speech, unfazed, then grinned sarcastically. “Is that so? I bet these sisters would have liked to save their own lives too,…

Chapter 42 - Rotten Humanity “Sue, don’t look.” “Ah…” Sue was on her knees, in complete dismay. I covered her eyes with my hands, to not let her see the sisters’ corpses. In the square, about 10 sisters had been affixed, arms wide, on crosses. A considerable amount of time seemed to have passed since their death: the bodies had dried up to the point they looked like black mummies. Crows had gathered around the crosses, attracted by the stench of dead meat, but the sisters’ bodies were so…

Chapter 41 - Unchanged City, Changed People The Garnet Kingdom was a small island state located on the eastern side of the Southern Archipelago. Because of its trade and cultural exchanges with the Huang Dynasty, the country spanning the eastern side of the continent, the unique southern lifestyle of the island states in Garnet blended with Huang’s oriental culture. In Garnet’s streets it was possible to find banners and boards both in southern alphabet and “Huanzi”, a type of characters…

Chapter 40 - Departure at Nightfall We waited for the reconstruction of the port to be completed to board the ship “borrowed” from the pirates and leave Brutos. We left before dawn, hidden in a cloak of darkness: if we were seen trying to leave the town, we were definitely going to be stopped. “Sneaking out in the dark like this makes me feel like a criminal…well, we’re technically pirates right now, so I really can’t complain, can I...” Rocked by the waves, I took a deep sigh. A parade in…

Chapter 4 - Disturbance in the Center I am Ladd, first son and heir to House Efreeta, a small noble family of the eastern province. Our family has served House Maxwell for generations — although House Efreeta was bestowed the title of “Viscount” from the Lamperouge royal family, we are officially a vassal of the royal family. House Maxwell and Efreeta, however, have been fighting as a united front against the empire since before the foundation of the Lamperouge Kingdom. It is the same for me,…
