Once Ren had left the room, I—the “Honorable One,” as people referred to me these days—smiled to myself.

“Chou Tairan’s orphans defeated Ren? Ha ha ha! How fascinating!”

I hadn’t been expecting her to give that away. Not only was Ren a member of Senko, she was a woman of calamity, as denoted by her silver hair and blue eyes. In her youth, she had learned and mastered an odd style of swordsmanship pioneered by an eastern island nation, and she was undoubtedly a powerful fighter, to the point where extremely few people in this country or neighboring ones had any hope of defeating her. And yet, despite Ren’s overwhelming talent for close combat, that pair had proved more than a match for her?

“What an interesting turn of events.”

It had been a long time since I had felt excitement like this. I unfolded a letter my daughter—the White Wolf and a vanguard general of the Gen Empire—had sent to me from Sotoku. According to her, the Ei Empire’s fate was already sealed, and Ren had nothing to worry about. However, the rat that the foxes had snuck into the Ei imperial court was seemingly moving of his own volition. Manipulating that poor Jo fledgling was no longer enough for him, for he was looking to pull the Ou sparrow—who thought itself an eagle—into his plans too.

The White Wraith was an incredible strategist, but that didn’t render him immune from the sudden machinations of fools. That doesn’t leave me enough time. If Adai Dada accomplished his desire of unification, then he would undoubtedly look to employ the services of Chou Tairan’s orphans, the current wielders of the Heavenly Swords of the Twin Stars. After all, the White Wraith possessed the memories of his past life as Ouei, and both he and Ouei valued talented individuals above all else.

If the Chou orphans joined Gen, they would be out of my reach. Faced with that possibility, I would prefer the lands to remain in chaos for a little while longer. Unification would have to wait until I’d gotten my hands on the Heavenly Swords. Nothing mattered more than the revival of mysticism! Now, was there anything I could use? I looked over my daughter’s letter again.

She’s still in love with Adai? Her taste in men is horrible. Where does she get that from? Hmm... So the idiotic Ei emperor’s younger sister rode to the western regions. All the spies I sent there got flushed out, so I’ve not been able to keep an eye on that area. But it’s not out of the question for her to head there. The sister, huh? The legend of Kougyoku sprang to mind. Kougyoku was a female general from the Tou Empire who had hidden away the Heavenly Swords and Heirloom Seal of the Realm on Ou Eifuu’s passing. Yes, I could use that.

I opened a desk drawer and took out a stack of papers. The Gen army under Adai’s leadership was formidable. Far too formidable. Therefore, lending the floundering Ei Empire a lifeline wouldn’t harm anyone.
