The Flame Dwarves were captured and taken prisoner by the Breck Kingdom.

Flame Dwarves were weak in creating magic devices, yet those bastards were able to create a bird like that?

That was impossible without the help of mages.

Duke Huten�s gaze headed toward the top of Maple Castle�s walls.

He could see a woman at the center of the walls who was openly making her presence known by stirring the mana around her.

That woman, Rosalyn, was looking down at Duke Huten.

�Is this the Breck Kingdom�s decision?�

Huten�s voice was quite loud after being amplified through his aura. It was so that Rosalyn, who was standing above the castle walls, could hear him. Toonka was no longer the focus of his attention.

The Mogoru Empire which had built up its strength over hundreds of years was not afraid of an enemy like the Whipper Kingdom that did not have an established history and just ran wild with someone like Toonka as their leader.

However, things changed if the Breck Kingdom entered the fray.

Huten could see the smile appearing on Rosalyn�s lips. Rosalyn then responded cheerfully, matching the bright smile on her face.

�We are mercenaries.�

�What?�

Huten couldn�t help but blankly question her statement. He could then hear Toonka�s voice.

�I hired them.�

��Commander.�

Huten turned his attention back to Toonka. Toonka snickered with a look that seemed to say, �What are you going to do about it?�

�I hired some mercenaries and bought the Dwarves from the Breck Kingdom.�

�Such nonsense��!�

It was utter nonsense.

Rosalyn, who was banished from the Breck Kingdom, was technically free from the Breck Kingdom�s rules. In addition, if the Whipper Kingdom had bought off the prisoners of war from them, then the Breck Kingdom would have mentioned it to the Empire out of formality. That way they would be able to say that they didn�t support the Whipper Kingdom and play off the exchange as a mere transaction between kingdoms.

�Are you telling me to believe in such bullshit?�

Huten, suddenly started to speak to Toonka in an unrestrained manner.

�It was your Imperial Prince who spouted bullshit first.� JrNovels.com
