Chapter 41: Another great chapter. Thank you author. I’m really enjoying the Seulrene interactions and how stubborn they both are haha The plot thickens with every chapter and I love it. Can’t wait for more.

Chapter 40: I think the Crown Prince is making a big mistake by siphoning the pay of his slave soldiers,. You can't just give people weapons and then continue to mistreat them like chattel slaves, that's just asking for a slave revolt.

Good work on the story and keep it up!

Chapter 41: This is suspenseful author I am a bit sad when the back of my mind whispers that the ending will be angst after all those they went through. Nevertheless, I respect it and I above all appreciate this story telling its very complex and obviously a lot of effort were put into it.
