"The Katzen delegation's lodgings are..."
After the event, when Sissair tried to guide the Katzen people, the Prince Regent quickly stepped forward.
"I will serve the distinguished guests from the empire. You can come here."
This was his first time making an Impression on the nobles of Katzen.
The Prince Regent did not want to lose this important role to a pale young cub.
"Your Royal Highness, how much trouble did you go through to come to the rough Valdina with your precious body."
He quickly joined the royal family. He did so for the grandiose reason of guiding the royal palace.
"Over there is the main palace where the Princess will stay. It is the largest and most beautiful among the guest accommodations in the Royal Palace of Valdina-"
"Not good. It's smaller than the annex of my Princess's palace."
The Princess was extremely arrogant, perhaps trying to restore her pride that had been crumpled a moment ago. Prince Regent received her words politely without any sign of displeasure.
"Of course, our situation in Valdina is poor, so it cannot be compared to Katzen, which is blessed with gold and valuables."
It looked like a leech clinging to power. Valdina's subjects shook their heads.
Even the Prince Regent's forces thought as they looked at him.
The Prince Regent's groveling appearance seems. Doesn't it seem like he has become a servant?
No matter how small Valdina is, in its thousand-year history, Valdina has never become a vassal of Katzen.
Not once!
The Prince Regent didn't realize it at all. His obedient form awakened the patriotism of the Valdina people here...
"What are you thinking, Your Highness?"
Medea looked at the back of the delegation as they quietly walked away.
"Just... I was thinking about when they would go back."
"That's right, I wish they could leave quickly too. I can't believe they're been so arrogant from day one."
Saya sighed. The Katzen people, who behaved as if they had no fear in the world even when they were in the slums, were fed up with it.
"Don't worry."
They won't be able to leave as quietly as they came.
***
Accommodation for the Katzen delegation.
In a classically decorated residence, Jason stood looking out the window.
A living room with only two people, Jason and his staff.
Jason's red eyes stared out the darkened window for a long time.
"I've never heard that the Princess of Vaidina is that beautiful. It's hard to find a woman like that even in Katzen."
Jason also agreed with Jared.
Beautiful women usually did not have a pulpit, and women who had a pulpit were not that beautiful.
_Grand Duke, I look forward to the days I spend here. This guy has finally met his owner."
Jason twitched his lips as he remembered the sinister gaze of the guy who followed the Princess all the way, giggling.
How dare a thief set his sights on the Princess?
When welcoming the delegation, Jason was also surprised to learn Medea's true identity.
The girl who never disappeared from his memory was actually the Princess of Valdina.
'Isn't this a revelation from God to me?'
His heart was pounding heavily.
Although Valdina was a small country compared to the empire, it was famous for its outstanding warriors.
In particular, the King's personal guard. 'Agema', was renowned for its overwhelming military power. If they stand behind him...
"The Emperor's escort is not a problem. I can even dream of conquering the capital."
"But, Your Majesty the Archduke. You know that the ambusher in the capital is not the Emperor."
At that time, the staff sprayed cold water.
"That's foolish. I'm so scared of the time-limited curse from the beginning!"
While looking for connections with the country, he learned the true name of the first Prince's illness.
It was after that that Jason began to move in earnest.
"The first Prince left the palace due to illness, but there are still those who support him in the capital."
The staff was not worried unnecessarily.
The fact that 1st Prince Cesare's power was still strong even after being absent from state affairs for 3 years meant that the 1st Prince's power was that much greater.
If it weren't for Cesare's curse, Jason wouldn't have been able to return to the capital.
He guessed he couldn't have aimed for the throne.
'Because his head would have been taken away by the 1st Prince before then.'
"Isn't he someone whose reputation is second to none? Even when he first went to war and unified the Southern powers, everyone thought he was dead. Maybe this time too.."
Although he was suffering from illness now, the first Prince's cruel disposition was well known throughout the continent. The reason his force could not easily leave the first Prince was due to fear rather than loyalty.
Because he didn't know if he would betray his and then come back and poison his glass at any moment.
"Nonsense. If you don't believe me, Katzen, no, believe in the thousand-year history of our Middle Continent. Has there been even one person who survived the original curse?"
Jason scolded irritably.
"I'm not the only one targeting the first Prince. Even the Emperor is wary of his resurrection. How will the force survive after he dies?"
"..."
Jason confidently tapped his subordinate on the shoulder.
"Swallow his forces, General Jared and the Princess of Valdina. If these two people are on my side, I have a good chance of winning."
The soldiers rushing to the northwest would be able to confront the Emperor.
Once the 1st Prince dies, his remaining forces will also have no choice but to bow down.
"God is fair. In life, there are ups and downs. Just as the 1st Prince's ascent was my hell, it's just reversed."
Jason looked dimly at the rosy future unfolding before him.
Without knowing that in his previous life, the beginning of this grand ambition was Medea, an impressive little girl.
"Find out about the Princess. What she likes, where she goes, who she hangs out with, she does everything."
"I understand. But she is the Princess of Valdina. If you keep it in mind..."
"No way. When have you seen me move for reasons other than necessity?"
Even though he said that for some reason the girl's face, standing upright, was not forgotten in Jason's mind.
***
The 4th Princess and the Grand Duke stayed at the palace due to their status, and the Count of Kensington also stayed at the palace with them to serve as their counselor or to look after the 4th Princess.
"Where are you going General?"
Raju looked at the remaining General Jared.
The way he bowed and flattered him gave off a unique greasy feel.
"If you don't have any appointments, please come with me to Duke Claudio's house. The Prince Regent has always admired the general's bravery, so he will consider it an honor to meet you."
Jared grinned in amusement.
"Duke Claudio. Now that I think about it, I heard that the Duchess and Princess are well-known beauties in Valdina..."
Raju's heart sank at those words.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Neither of them will be in the Dukedom now. They didn't come back from the Queen Mother's palace."
Raju was so focused on getting Jared on his side that he forgot.
Jared's stupid behavior made even the Emperor of Katzen stick out his tongue.
This person is even a 10-star knight, one of the top ten in the empire. Once he did something crazy, no one could stop him.
"The Duchess is recuperating at the Queen Mother's Palace, and the Princess is recuperating in a foreign country."
Upon hearing the news that all the people he was interested in were absent, Jared shook his head with a loss of interest.
"Done. Since I'm a broken body. I just hate troublesome rules. Don't worry, I'll get to the palace on time."
It was only after he left that Raju was heartbroken.
Even if Jared is an excellent swordsman who won the battle for the throne, it is not acceptable.
He almost dragged the hideous creature into his resting place.
"Let's go to Duke Claudio's house."
"Yes, Count."
Raju stretched out his chest as if asking when was the last time he bowed down in front of the Princess. Through the carriage window, he could see the sunset sky over Valdina.
"This damned village is still outdated."
It was nothing compared to the streets of the Empire, which were captivating with their splendid and diverse attractions.
The smell of earth and nature carried by the wind. Raju immediately frowned.
"Light the scented candle."
As the luxurious scent enjoyed by Katzen nobles reached his nose, he felt at ease, as if he had finally found his place.
