“You’re really strong, Acer! If I become emperor, I’ll make you a general. How does that sound? Want to join my side?”

After being struck down by my wooden sword, Tract responded with a laugh and that proposal, just like the adorable idiot he was.

I also couldn’t help but feel like he’d be an important person someday. Even if the throne was out of his reach, if he had the right guidance, he could be someone capable of saving countless people. And if he expanded the breadth of his experience beyond the narrow confines of the Tiger Clan and out into the wider world, he could grow even further. Win must have understood that, so I doubted he’d simply be discarded after his role in the selection process was finished.

The real problem was our second clown, Fahda. Unfortunately, I hadn’t spent enough time with him to get a good grasp of what his future looked like. I could only hope that the next succession would be as bloodless as possible.

◇◇◇

After half a year of this sham of selecting a new emperor, Win called for me. We met in the same room where we first reunited in the Empire. Compared to last time, the room was basically empty of people...but Win wasn’t quite alone.

In his arms was a human baby, maybe one or two years old. It seemed inviting me here to participate in the selection of the next emperor had been a front to hide the existence of this child.

But a human, huh? Wait. There was no way, right? No, it definitely had to be. There was no doubt. I could see faint traces of Win’s features in the baby’s face, and the way they were looking around made it clear they were following the movements of the spirits. There was no way I could mistake that.

“Win...this is your kid, isn’t it?” I couldn’t keep the joy from my voice as I said that. I mean, this was Win’s kid we were talking about. As a half-elf who had thrown his lot in with the beastfolk, I figured it was entirely impossible for him to have children.

“A-Acer, calm down. You’re right, this is...my kid. So please calm down. I’m sure you understand, but this has to be a secret.”

I could only imagine what my expression must have looked like. Win was instantly trying to suppress my reaction, even giving up his imperial persona in his panic to do so.

So, it was a secret, was it? I supposed that made sense. News of Win having a child with a human could very well destabilize the whole Empire. I could understand why he had brought me here with a cover story.

I immediately wanted to take the child in my arms, but deciding it was best to hear him out first, I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down.

It was okay. Now that I had laid eyes on this child, they would be safe. Even if it made the whole Empire of Sabal my enemy, I would protect them.
