Chapter 755 – #96. Jinhaesol (59)
Wondering why you’ve already made your decision and asked the nobles for their opinion?
It was because I did not fully trust the nobles.
As I have been constantly receiving information about Emperor Geos, I was well aware that on the other hand, information on our side could also be passed on to them.
‘The spy of the Geos Empire…Who is it?’
Identifying the spy was a problem that even the Yesha family, which dealt with information, could not easily figure out.
But what is clear is that there must be a spy on our side.
I couldn’t tell if it was the aristocrat himself or an aide of the aristocrats.
But what is certain is that the Geos Empire will one day find out what we are doing.
‘Even if I knew, there would be nothing I could do about it.’
Whether it was useless or not, it was necessary to at least separate the nobles who were suspected of being spies from the nobles who were not.
So, I asked the nobles what they thought about fighting a war with the Geos Empire.
It was because he predicted that if he was a spy, even implicitly, it would show.
If you steadily accumulate information, a nobleman will appear who makes a claim in favor of the ‘Geos Empire’.
‘Just narrowing down the scope of the investigation will help.’
At least it would help if we didn’t give them a major role in the war.
So, to gather information, I asked a question as if I would listen to your opinions and decide what I had already decided.
Square- Square- Square-
The name of the noble suspected of being a spy was added to the parchment.
Right now, the name was written without any basis, but as time goes on, the culprit will be narrowed down.
‘Certainly, I need an intelligence organization that can covertly work for me. I shouldn’t have done this, I should have had someone do it.’
After the war ended safely, he promised to create a secret intelligence organization when he had time.

Tap-Tattak-Tattak-!
A fire was burning in the space where the flesh seemed to be about to fall away from the cold air.
Sitting on a metal chair with her limbs tied, In-yeong swallowed dry saliva from the warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time.
My body, which had been frozen in the terrible cold, was slowly melting and creating new pain.
“Uhhhhh!”
Just because he was the commander of an enemy country, he couldn’t live without escorting the prison.
There was no torture that directly caused pain so far, but the reality was that his life could be threatened at any time if the story with the Geos Empire went wrong.
Moreover, because she was a commander, she had to be treated more harshly than the average aristocratic prisoner.
“Ha! Are you trying to appease today?”
The hours in which she had to be dressed in thin white clothes drenched in water and tied up limbs in a cold room gave her pain no less than the torture.
The feeling of pain in the extreme cold was paralyzed.
But today, for some reason, they lit a fire to escape the cold.
The guards did not answer her questions.
Instead, it was the voice of another court lady who answered her curiosity.
“Your Majesty, please!”
“Ha! That’s why you suddenly lit a fire.”
The emperor was imprisoned, so there was no way he would leave it cold.
Isn’t it your body?
Curious as to what the emperor of the empire had to do with himself, he strained his eyes as much as possible and glared at the emperor as he entered.
‘Damn it, the rumors were underestimated. He’s filthy handsome.’
That’s even worse
It is natural to think that a person who sits in the seat of the emperor and lacks nothing is unfair because even his face is perfect.
“Hmm. It doesn’t look very good.”
The emperor confirmed his commander’s condition and said with great regret.
The guards were amazed at the emperor’s words and made excuses.
“Your Majesty, considering the commander’s physical abilities, this level can easily be tolerated.”
“Ah~ I said that people who use mana have different bodies than normal people.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The Emperor nodded as if he understood what the jailer had to say.
Then he moved his gaze and finally met the commander’s gaze.
“Can we talk?”
“…Even if you don’t know what you came here out of curiosity, it will be difficult to get what you want.”
A sense of crisis came over him that he might be trying to dazzle himself with that face.
The Emperor of the Empire had heard that he was very revealing about women, so he couldn’t be vigilant.
Can’t you betray your country because of a man?
But…
‘Fuck, it smells good too.’
Even if you don’t want to smell it, when he appears in the dark and dull space, a fragrant smell begins to waft.
The emperor was the one who stimulated both visually and olfactorily just by his presence.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t come to ask you anything big. Rather, I came because I thought you might have something to say to me.”
“What do you have to say to the enemy emperor? I have nothing to say.”
“As you know, the Geos Empire has no intention of saving you. They are busy with civil war and are not trying to talk. They probably do not want to give up the war with the Empire.”
“…”
The commander isn’t even an idiot, why don’t you know?
Since he was a close friend, he knew his character all the more.
The commander kept glaring at the emperor, wondering if he was mocking him.
‘Fuck.’
Had they met normally, she would have wooed him to marry him right away.
Because there was an ideal type in front of my eyes that I would only meet once in my life.
But that man was the emperor of an enemy country, and he himself was a captured commander.
The odds that the two of you will end up in a good relationship are non-existent.
‘Why should I…’
The Emperor of the Empire was told that he lived as a commoner until he came of age.
He thought that if he had been a little lucky, he could have met and formed a good relationship with that man when he was a commoner.
‘You need to calm down. That man is the one who will kill me.’
Still, having your head cut off by a handsome man, would you feel less unfair?
The Commander had already let go of most of his attachments to his life while he was being held here.
It is a difficult situation for anyone to survive.
Had her lord tried to force herself to save her, he would have killed her himself.
‘Of course, I didn’t want it to be abandoned like this.’
It would have been nice if it was an environment where I could decide myself.
At that time, he would not have been so foolishly swayed by the emperor of the enemy country.
If she died faithfully, wouldn’t the lord at least take good care of her family back home?
However, dying in an abandoned situation is nothing but dog death.
Who knows if an abandoned dog is dead?
I don’t want my life to be treated like a dog’s death.
Even if I die, I want it to be a worthy death.
“We captured a lot of prisoners, but what can we do when the Emperor of the Geos Empire wants to abandon his own people?
“So what do you want from me! Do you want me to be responsible for them?”
“It can’t be. You don’t have the ability to do that in the first place? Commoner soldiers will go to mine slaves or salt pan slaves, and noble captives will only become concubines for those who agree. The problem is you and the commanders.”
Concubine?
Crazy guy
“Is the emperor of the empire crazy? He says he’s taking a prisoner as his concubine?”
“I guess you didn’t know. The captives I captured last time were also made into my concubines.”
“You’re out of your mind. I’m freaking out because I wanted to be stabbed to death on the bed.”
They are nobles from enemy countries.
There was no way he could endure such humiliation calmly.
“Thank you for your concern. But I’ve never been stabbed before. Everyone is doing well as concubines.”
“Do not lie!
I used to say that, but I couldn’t hide my envy inside.
‘These bastards… I thought they were having a hard time, but were they sucking honey here?’
If she became a concubine, wouldn’t that mean that at least she wasn’t working?
On top of that, isn’t it that he even slept with the emperor, who would have been difficult to even touch?
‘If I wasn’t the commander, could I have become a concubine?’
Shit, put me down commander?
Of course, this impulsive thought could not be revealed.
The emperor struggled to make excuses, not knowing that he was envious of those who were now captured and became concubines.
“Since we didn’t forcefully create concubines in the first place, isn’t there any reason why we can’t get along? So I hope you don’t look at people like trash.”
“Heh, I heard rumors that the emperor of the empire is crazy about women. But isn’t he more crazy about women than I thought?”
“Bitch!”
Puck!”
“Kuk!”
The guard, who had been listening quietly, struck her in the back with a weapon at her sarcasm.
Puck! Puck, puck!!
“Oops! Keuug!!”
The emperor did not stop the jailer from beating the commander.
Of course, I didn’t wait and see, and I tried to restrain myself before I had serious problems with my body.
“Enough. That’s enough.”
I bit her lip to try to hold back the pain, but I could taste the blood as if my teeth were tearing it apart.
The commander, who was groaning at the throbbing pain that came from his back, suddenly lifted his head involuntarily at the fragrant smell that came close to the hook.
Without knowing when it came, the emperor approached and stood in front of me.
“What…?”
“You seem to have already thought about dying. Jim was still thinking about what to do with you. It’s so… Troublesome. I think it’s best to kill him cleanly to avoid bothering him.”
The emperor was looking down at himself, estimating his own lifeline.
A cold goose bump formed on the back of his back.
No matter how prepared he was for death, it was not easy to respond in a calm manner as the death approached.
