Vize lifted Lira’s paw and pretended to punch Ashin. Seeing that cute sight calmed her rising anger a little.b315131de2864627
But not completely. They even spread rumors? There were definitely only Ashin and Leotar in the barracks. Ashin had never told anyone about what happened that day, so the culprit was definitely Leotar. Ashin pictured the man gossiping about her over drinks. It didn’t suit that taciturn man at all… but if it was true, he was more petty and despicable than she thought.a5f080c673cfa42b

Who knew which lord in which country might snatch her up while she was traveling? That was absolutely not going to happen. Vize was the Emperor of Riyat, and Ashin was the empire’s greatest asset. This possessiveness was separate from loving and cherishing Ashin.545c127bd1816e93

From their childhood when they happened to grow up together, Vize had invested in this genius sorceress for over a decade. How could she keep Ashin in the empire? He pondered that whether Ashin was in front of her or not. But even if she bestowed gold worthy of Ashin’s abilities and achievements, and gave her extraordinary treatment equivalent to royalty, Ashin was indifferent.

Vize rejoiced and simultaneously facepalmed as she pondered a justification to keep Ashin after the war ended. It was good to be happy that the person Ashin wanted was within the empire, but it was a big problem that the person was Leotar Van Mur. He was the legitimate son of a powerful family among the feudal lords that even the emperor couldn’t easily touch.9c031696aa7843da
