Meeting the emperor, Jennie realized that Prince Ashan was correct. The emperor would gladly give the throne to those who wished to unify the five big kingdoms.
Jennie didn't have any wish for unification, but she would indeed fight with them all. Making them enemies was already a certain thing.
"I'm not sure about unification," Jennie said slowly. "If talking about the dream to unify all the kingdoms under one banner, that should be Leo Manoban and friends."
"They are your friends. Why don't you talk with them?" Ashan asked. He had explained to Jennie that he was not a prince; rather he was only a noble from the kingdom beyond the river. He came as the representative of their side.
"Jayn is dead, not even they know about it," Jennie answered. The fact that she was Jayn was something that she wanted to bury in the past. She no longer had any intention to become a man again, but since she was dressed as a man today, this man recognized her.
Ashan considered for a moment. "I'm sure the Manoban Family will come here too. Once, the emperor offered the throne to one of the Manoban Family members."
"Leo Manoban?"
Jennie still remembered the fight a few months ago. At that time, she was a general and fought from the frontline. She heard the news about Leo negotiating with the emperor of the Yuan Kingdom. It seemed the content of the discussion was not like what the news said.
If the Manoban Family members came here, would it mean Lisa would come here?
Somehow, Jennie already started to anticipate the coming of the Manoban Family to the Yuan Kingdom. She wanted to meet with the other party badly.
"Yes, he is the prime minister of the Ming Kingdom. The emperor tells me that the Ming Kingdom is on the rise, but from what I can see it is two families on the rise, the Manoban Family and the Kim Family. Unexpectedly, the two of you separated from the Ming Kingdom."
Two of us separated?
Jennie hadn't heard about the Manoban Family separating themselves, but she knew that for this war, they asked for freedom.
Is it the one Ashan meant?
"I don't recall the Manoban Family separating themselves."
"Not separation, but they have quite a lot of freedom right now, which I guess might end up with them separating themselves."
Jennie was not sure about that. "I don't know their plan, but there is indeed a dark history of us in the Ming Kingdom."
What happened years ago was not clear to Jennie since she hadn't been born yet. At that time, the Kim Family tried to fight against the emperor only to be schemed back and destroyed by him.
By the time she could meet them, there were only a few people left, including her.
The once prosperous family declined.
As for the Manoban Family, they too had lost a lot of their members. Jennie didn't know the details too, but it should have happened when she was still a toddler.
They could get off from the wrath of the emperor easily, but she didn't know how they did that since the Manoban Family kept the secret hidden.
Still, the secret of the four big families existed which made them become threats to the emperor.
Yet, the emperor didn't realize it until it was too late. The movement was from Krystal, followed by Jayn, and then there was Leo.
There was still Tae-Hwan, but Jennie didn't know whether he would keep his word or not.
With all of them going against one person, she truly wanted to know how the emperor fared in the fight.
Previously, he still had the support of a lot of people, and each of them fought on their own.
The difference in timing made them defeated.
Now that the three of them started their move around the same time, how will the end be?
Ashan nodded. "I won't ask you what had happened. What I want to know, what is your plan towards the Yuan Kingdom?"
Jennie thought for a moment. "I will let the emperor sit on his throne for now. Getting our hand on the Yuan Kingdom may cause the other kingdoms to turn hostile towards us. For now, let the Ming Kingdom fight first."
If the news of them joining hands got out, the next target in this big war would be the two of them.
Jennie didn't want to get involved in the fight yet. The preparation is wasted.
At least, no one dared to come near the Mountain Kingdom for now because of the tragedy that happened to the Kai Kingdom.
That act of obliterating the enemy without any force has made them even more careful towards the Mountain Kingdom.
The terrain of the Mountain Kingdom was different, and it made them wary to get inside Mountain Kingdom territory.
If the kingdom attacked them, they might have had advantages, but since the Mountain Kingdom stayed quiet, the other kingdoms also ignored them.
"I see, I will be waiting for your cooperation once I return here."
"You're going back?"
Ashan nodded. "I have delayed my time to go for some time now. I should go back before I'm trapped here for a year."
"I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you."
After talking for a bit, Jennie searched for her grandfather who was still in the hall with the emperor, talking about the affair.
After Jennie had told them about the agreement she had with Ashan, the emperor looked more relaxed.
"I will place the Yuan Kingdom in your hand. If you want to make this kingdom part of yours, I won't have any objection."
"The officials here shouldn't be that bad, aren't they?"
"There are some of them who are quite good. But, neither of them has enough standing to rule over the other officials. However, the Kim Family is different."
Jennie knew that.
With the military power of the Kim Family, how can they dare to raise their hand toward them?
After all, the soldiers stationed at the border were not for decoration.
"Your Majesty, there is a war report."
A messenger came in with trembling feet.The emperor was someone who was known to be cold and ruthless, their people were afraid of them.
Nevertheless, he was also someone very powerful and influential, so no one dared to go against this emperor.
"Did something happen somewhere?"
"On the West of Ming Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom loses miserably, and Pan is reported to come towards the Yuan Kingdom."
The emperor's face turned cold. Jennie and Chan also stood up.
They needed to stop the advance of Pan. Should he come to this kingdom, they would be faced with a massacre.
"General Chan, may I ask for your assistance?"
"Yes, you can," Chan nodded.
By the side, Jennie calmed herself down. The time for another meeting has come.
But she truly wanted to know what happened on the border that made Lan's family lose.
