"We have finally finished the conquest," Jackson commented as they strode to the capital.
He was not part of the soldiers who got in the very first.
For that glory, it was better presented to Lisa alone.
Jennie nodded her head. Lisa didn't allow her to participate in the battle anymore after he heard about her condition.
Well, it was not her fault, at least partially, that she got hurt continuously.
Unless she made a full recovery, she would not be allowed to participate in the war anymore.
In addition, he made sure that she got enough nutrition every single day. She even wondered where he got all of those additional foods as their foods were rationed.
Of course, with a little digging she found out that he asked Jackson to transfer more food, which caused this prince to complain profusely at the loss of money he experienced.
"It has been more than two years," Jennie smiled. "Do you have any idea where Lisa might be?"
"I think he's interrogating the Emperor of Pan Kingdom. Different from the other kingdoms, this Emperor is quite good. You can say that he's one of the best leaders that we come across after a long time," Jackson smiled.
Considering how this Emperor managed to keep the vast area of the Pan Kingdom under his lead, no one dared to question his capability. They knew.
He was truly powerful. If they didn't want to dig their early grave, it would be better if they didn't go against this person.
"It's too bad that his son is the opposite," Jennie added.
Jackson has to agree. The Crown Prince was known to be a wastrel with his two cousins famous for their capability.
For someone as great as this Emperor, there was no bigger disgrace than having such a useless son.
Jisoo pointed to the wall. "Lisa is over there. Shall we pay a visit?"
The three of them dismounted from the horse as they walked to the wall.
Considering that the soldiers already knew about Jennie's capabilities, they respected her even more than the other two.
"Where's Lisa?" Jennie asked.
"General Lisa is inside, Princess," the soldier answered respectfully.
Jennie nodded her head. They walked in and saw Lisa standing in front of a rather old man.
From the man's regal clothes, they instantly recognized him as the Emperor of Pan Kingdom.
Behind Lisa, Lou was standing carefully, ready to help if Lisa ever needed it.
"Greetings, Emperor of Pan Kingdom," Jisoo greeted.
The Emperor passed a glance to the three of them. His gaze landed on Jennie for a moment.
He remembered that she was the princess of the Mountain Kingdom who was named Jennie.
This name caused him to feel rather complicated as he recalled his nephew.
"Why are you still treating me that well? I'm just a leader of a fallen kingdom. There's no glory left for me," the Emperor of Pan Kingdom said calmly.
"Even if you're the leader of a fallen country, your strength and wisdom are something different, Your Highness," Jennie replied in a calm tone. "Don't you want to see the land prosper again?"
A faint sense of longing appeared in the middle of the Emperor of Pan Kingdom's eyes.
The war has lasted for years without anyone managed to conquer the entire land.
Right now, in front of him, was the very person who managed to do the thing that everyone deemed to be impossible.
It was amazing, yet he also felt rather complicated.
Towards this person, he felt respect but also pity. The pity was not directed to them but to himself.
It was a pity for him to be born on the opposite side of this person, thus making him the bitter enemy of Soujin.
As for his proposal to see the land prosper again...
"I can't," the Emperor of Pan Kingdom answered after a few seconds of lamentation. "I belong to the Pan Kingdom and forever I'll stay here."
"Is it worth it?" Jackson asked.
"I don't know, but I don't want to abandon my identity. We're destined to stand on the opposite side, so I believe that I won't be able to stand on the same side as you. Besides, I'm already too old. It will be too late for me."
His eyes gazed at the faraway sky. He already lived for a long time and saw many different things.
For this tempting proposal, he has to reject it because he doesn't want to change his viewpoint.
In his heart, Pan Kingdom shall be the first place he came to this world and also the place where he went from this world.
"There's no need to keep persuading me. My answer will always be the same."
Facing this stubborn emperor, Lisa nodded his head.
He turned towards Jisoo. "Rosé should have captured Tian. You can take care of that matter."
"I understand."
The Emperor of Pan Kingdom's eyes shook when he heard the name of his son.
Tian might be useless and an idiot, but he was the only son he had.
He always wanted to make that son of his the future successor of the kingdom. It seemed, his wish would never be fulfilled.
As the three of them walked out, they could hear Lisa talking with the emperor.
Jennie pointed to the other gate. "There's a secret passage over there. If Tian wants to escape, he must be using that way."
"I believe you have told Rosé about this."
"Of course," Jennie grinned. "She wants to achieve something from this war, so I'll let her have the glory of catching the Crown Prince."
"Do you think if we use his son, the emperor will change his decision?"
Jackson still felt that it was too bad for someone as capable as the Emperor of Pan Kingdom to die.He wanted that person to become one of his subordinates.
"I don't think so," Jennie sighed. "He's too stubborn. Besides, there are things in this world that you will never want to exchange for anything. Even if you offer him a lot of money, I doubt he's going to change his decision."
Jackson frowned. "Money can buy a lot of things."
"Which one is more precious, your life or money?" Jisoo rolled his eyes.
"Of course it's money!" Jackson yelled.
It was then that he realized what he was comparing it to. "Wait, no, it's life!"
"If you say that it's money, let me buy you and beat you up to become a proper emperor, my brother," Jisoo said with a dark tone.
Jackson felt rather terrified to see the dark expression on Jisoo's face.
He quickly turned around. "Wait, I'm sorry! I won't say it again!"
Jennie didn't even bother stopping them as she took the report from the nearby soldiers about Rosé.
When she read that Tian was killed because he retaliated, she quickly read the details.
After she finished, she only had one thought.
He's truly a stupid prince.
