Chapter 167

To the adjutant’s surprise, the Space Pirates made no attempt to land on 19783 Star. They even kept their distance, showing no signs of hostility.

“Just keep watching them.” Felix rejected the adjutant’s suggestion to strike first.

The adjutant remained skeptical, keeping a wary eye on the pirates‘ movements.

The night passed without incident.

At dawn, the alarm for an enemy attack blared. The adjutant was shocked to see that the Space Pirates, who had been quiet all night, were now on the move. He knew these guys weren’t up to anything good.

Just as he was about to report to Felix, he was stunned to realize that the pirates weren’t attacking them at all. Instead, they bypassed their forces and launched an assault on the Koganor Federation.

The Koganor Federation had been caught completely off guard.

“How is this possible?” Edmund was dumbfounded. “They’re Space Pirates!”

He thought, ‘When the Empire is in trouble, these pirates should have been taking advantage of the chaos, not interfering. Even if they refuse to help an invading force, they should’ve just stayed out of it. So why are they suddenly getting involved?

the

“Lord Edmund, your acting skills are quite impressive–you almost make it seem like this has nothing to do with Koganor Federation general sneered. “We just received a message from the Space Pirates. They’re demanding that we hand you over.”

Edmund thought, ‘Who would have thought that I, as a former duke, is in such a dire situation in the Beastmen Empire that even the Space Pirates want me dead?

Are Koganor Federation really supposed to put a universally hated puppet emperor on the throne? Just what kind of grudge does Jaws have against me?

I have been hiding for years, never daring to provoke the Space Pirates. Why would Jaws want to kill me?

‘Right. It must be due to Nyx.

‘It has to be that little female who seduced Jaws, making the Space Pirates‘ leader furious on her behalf.

With these thoughts, Edmund ordered, regaining his composure, “Send a message to that Space Pirates leader. Tell him I mean no harm to Nyx. Once I take over the Empire, I’m willing to share Nyx with him.”

After all, the Space Pirates and the Empire were still enemies. Nyx belonged to the Empire, meaning Jaws couldn’t have her. By offering this deal, Edmund was sure Jaws would take the bait.

When the message arrived, Jaws was in the middle of negotiations with Felix.

The moment he saw the word “share,” his smile froze, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

“I’ll pledge allegiance to the Empire under one condition,” he said, cutting straight to the point. “I want to kill Edmund with my own hands.”

Felix understood. “Agreed.”

Edmund didn’t need to be taken back to the Empire for trial–he could be executed
