The Abandoned Prince Heals an Enemy Soldier on the Frontlines, Only to Discover She’s the Seventh Imperial Princess - Chapter 22: The Abandoned Prince Reaches Heaven

Chapter 22: The Abandoned Prince Reaches Heaven

After returning to the imperial castle, I sat with Rosemary in Alcarion’s private chambers, where she began explaining the details of what was coming.

And when I heard the empire’s strategy against the Agarham Kingdom, I was honestly a bit surprised.

“I see… So you’re going to use me as a justification?”

“Yes. By framing it as a righteous act—removing the current king who unjustly stole the throne from you—we can reduce outside support for the kingdom as much as possible.”

Apparently, Alcarion had been steadily preparing for the inevitable clash with the kingdom.

And as part of that plan, she intended to use my name and backstory.

The only reason Agarham had managed to keep up with the Dragoon Empire until now was through aid from other countries.

But on their own, they weren’t much of a threat.

“They claimed this war was for revenge—to pay back the suffering they endured in the past. We’ll counter that with a stronger justification and cut off any reason for other nations to support them.”

“Hohhh… clever.”

It was true that the empire had waged several aggressive wars, and there were plenty of countries that probably wanted payback.

Many might’ve been ready to join the kingdom’s call to arms just for the chance to turn the tables.

But at the same time, not everyone was eager to jump back into a full-scale war against a powerhouse like the empire.

For those sitting on the fence, this gave them a convenient excuse not to get involved.

And apparently… that “excuse” was going to be me.

“—Just to be clear, I have absolutely no intention of using you for world domination. I’ve lost interest in that.”

“Oh, don’t worry. I wasn’t thinking that at all.”

Still expressionless as always, but Alcarion looked oddly flustered trying to explain herself. It was… kind of cute.

“But honestly, I’m not really interested in the throne anymore.”

“We’ll manage that part smartly. We’ll absorb the kingdom and rename everything under a new title—how about the Imperial Kingdom?”

“…Imperial Kingdom.”

Okay, that actually sounds kinda cool.

Maybe we could combine Dragoon and Agarham and call it the Dragram Imperial Kingdom.

“We’ll treat the kingdom as a single province and let its local lords govern it as usual. Of course, only those who are actually capable and clean.”

In other words, corrupt nobles who’ve been lining their pockets with bribes and shady deals would get the boot.

That wouldn’t be bad—it might even make life better for the people.

But there was still one big problem.

Maybe not to most people, but for me, it felt like a pretty serious one.

“Since it’s war… we’ll be killing enemies, right?”

“…”

Once the fighting starts, the soldiers I fought beside for five years might end up dead.

That thought weighed on me.

I knew it was naïve.

This was war. Wishing no one would die was a childish dream.

But still… I didn’t want anyone to die.

Especially not when their deaths would be carried out in the name of my so-called righteous cause.

I didn’t know if I could mentally handle that.

“…I know how you feel, darling.”

“Huh?”

“That’s why I called my mother out from her little hideaway in the dungeon.”

So Salion’s officially classified as a shut-in, huh…?

“Well, we can go over the details later. There’s something far more important right now.”

“More important than war?”

“Yes. —Salion, you did something awful to my dear… and you got a little too intimate with him, didn’t you?”

““!?””

Salion, who had been quietly sipping juice beside us, froze at the exact same moment I did.

W-We’ve been found out!?

“W-Well, um, you see… it’s been so long since I saw a human, I got a bit too excited, that’s all…”

“And so you poisoned him and tried to enjoy watching him suffer?”

“Ghk.”

“R-Reyshel!! What is she talking about!?”

“N-No comment!!”

Rosemary pressed in for answers, but I chose to exercise my right to remain silent.

Not that it helped—Alcarion had already pieced it all together.

“So she offered you her body in exchange for keeping quiet about what happened. I see.”

“Wha—!? Y-You absolute…! So you’re fine with any woman, is that it!?”

“Ghk—n-no!! That’s not it at all!! Rosemary, please!! I can’t breathe!!”

With her cheeks puffed out in frustration, Rosemary grabbed my neck with both hands and started shaking me back and forth.

I-It hurts!!

“Then why don’t we just go ahead and make Salion one of your wives too?”

“““Wait—WHAT!?”””

“Because that’s what my dear wants… isn’t it?”

Alcarion dropped that bomb so casually it hurt.

“Reyshel…”

“N-No, wait, Rosemary! Okay, yes—I do have harem dreams, I admit it! But that doesn’t mean anyone is fine, alright!?”

“Kukukuku. I always knew you were a pervert who could get turned on by my petite little body.

So that’s it, huh? You wanted to make me your woman? Good grief, what a helpless boy. Alright then—oop.”

“Wha—what are you doing!?”

Salion plopped herself down right on my lap, facing me.

She was wearing a pretty bold outfit too—something like tight, glossy bondage gear that really didn’t leave much to the imagination.

“Kukuku… you were so desperate for me just a little while ago, weren’t you? Very well, I shall spoil you some more.”

Says the one who lost, and badly, I might add…

But just as I was about to throw in a comeback—someone else stepped in.

“Hey, Reyshel.”

“Y-Yes?”

“Do you have any idea how worried I was about you back then?”

“…Yeah. I’m sorry.”

“Hmph… You really are hopeless.”

With her cheeks slightly flushed, Rosemary wrapped herself around my arm and pressed her large, soft breasts against it.

The warmth and softness immediately sank in.

Then, just like the very first time she’d ever come onto me, she leaned in close—close enough for her breath to tickle my skin—and whispered,

“Tonight, I’m going to punish you… thoroughly, with my boobs. That’s your punishment.”

“Y-Yes, ma’am!!”

What kind of heavenly punishment is that!? That’s just a reward in disguise!!

“Then I shall simply admire my darling as he gets disciplined by Rosemary. You’re not getting any sleep tonight, my dear.”

“Oof—”

From my other side, Alcarion quietly slipped in and wrapped her arms gently around me.

As always, she started stroking my head lovingly, and before I knew it—

I was caught in the middle of a full-blown cuddle harem.

Salion in front.

Rosemary on the right.

Alcarion on the left.

No escape.

An impossible dream come true—

A three-generation harem formation.

And then—

The door to Alcarion’s room suddenly burst open, and in came Eliza.

“I had a feeling I was being left out, so I came to check! And lo and behold—my instincts were absolutely right!”

“Wha—!? Eliza too!?”

“Crashing into a family-based harem? Now that’s our hopeless noble lady for you. Apologies for her lack of awareness—truly.”

With her usual sharp-tongued maid trailing behind her, Eliza stormed into the room without missing a beat.

“Muu.”

“Oh…?”

At that moment, Salion and Eliza’s maid locked eyes—and froze for a second.

…Huh?

What was that?

Some strange tension passed between them, but I didn’t get the chance to figure it out.

“…I see. Seems the front and sides are already taken. Then I shall attack from the rear!”

Eliza boldly climbed onto the sofa and hugged me from behind, wrapping my head gently in her two soft, cushiony weapons of mass destruction.

Front, back, left, and right—surrounded by my wives.

There was officially nowhere to run.

And just like that, they completely drained me dry.

I think… I may have reached heaven.
