“Are the preparations going well?”

“As soon as the harvest ends, the lords and knights will come together. There is no need to worry.”

“I am deeply comforted by your confidence, Duke Hanskane.”

“This is all thanks to His Excellency Duke Yanovis great, great grace.”

“I shall relay your loyal feelings to him.”

In the castle of Duke Hanskane, which was not far from the capital of the Havis Kingdom, two people were having a secret conversation in the lords office, which glittered with luxurious furniture and paintings. The man who spoke without honorifics to Duke Hanskane, the highest ranking noble in the kingdom, was most certainly a subordinate of Laviter Empires Duke Yanovis.

“But may I ask when the empire will annex the kingdom…? Our preparations are all complete. As soon as the empire gives the command, the Havis Kingdom will immediately become the land of His Imperial Majesty, in all his wisdom.” Hanskane spoke of treason without a hitch, his eyes sparkling.

“Just wait a little longer. His Majesty the Emperor will soon give the order.”

“I understand. Please give us the command at any time.”

“That aside, you said Princess Rosiathe is repeatedly interfering these days?”

“That has been a slight annoyance as of late. She may be a figurehead princess, but she is first in line to the throne, so the people and a few nobles are supporting her. She is so bothersome that I would like to erase her, if possible.”

“Just wait a little longer for that, as well. There are many ways to use Princess Rosiathe, said to be the greatest beauty of the northern continent.”

“Huhu, that is why I have been enduring. She may have become obstinate, but all the military power and royal authority has long since been in my hands.”

“Work hard for just another few years. A reward reciprocating all your hard work will soon return to you.”

“I shall repay it with my loyalty.”

He was a duke of the Havis Kingdom in name, but in the marrow of his bones, Hanskane had become a servant of the Laviter Empire.

Clink!

The two people clinked glasses of red wine, smiles full of intrigue spreading across their faces. From their bodies radiated the stench of desire, ambition that would stop at nothing to secure benefits for themselves.

Ruuuuuuuumble.

‘Spirits are seriously useful.

On a flatland next to a stretch of shore not far from Denfors and the harbor, the Terrans that were doing tons of bulldozing work these days were turning the earth and stamping it flat. An area full of lush grasses was miraculously transformed into an empty plot. After a moment, the flat plot hardened like stone.

“Is this sufficient?”

“Yes, its exactly how I wanted it.”
