Chapter 10
【Side Story: Kaden】
When I was a child, I was kidnapped. I couldn’t outrun the kidnappers and prepared to close my eyes and wait for death,
but I didn’t die. A little girl saved me.

I only managed a hurried glance back and didn’t see her face clearly, but she became
my
first love from that moment on.
At seven years old, I made up my mind to give her a lifetime of wealth and protect her forever.

I never imagined that I had been
mistaken about who she was all along!

It turned out that person was Ginger, not Ann.
I was furious.
Ann liked to falsely accuse Ginger of burning her with fire. Fine then, I would
nn die by fire.
Then I assembled my forces and launched a surprise attack on the Land of the River with the full power of the nation.
Fighting all the way, I was ready to bring Ginger home.

Ginger surely wouldn’t be angry with me -she loved me so much.
Back then, when she was unwilling to go to the Land of the River in Ann’s place, The Minister only said one thing-
“Ginger, if you go, His Majesty will be pleased.”
She immediately set off.
She was like a little cat circling around someone’s legs–as long as I was willing to wave my hand, she would definitely come back to my side.
I rushed desperately, traveling day and night.

I couldn’t wait to see how happy she’d be when she saw me coming for her.
But when she saw me, she cried:
“I don’t love you anymore. Please
withdraw your troops.”
That Rex beside her bent down and gently wiped away her tears.
I stared blankly, suddenly remembering two things.
The first was this:
After I became king and rewarded people based on merit, Ginger ranked first.

Ironically, her talents and skills were all at the bottom, yet in helping me achieve victory, she somehow came in first place.
She had carried me out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, risking her life to help me become king.
I asked her what she wanted–titles, lands, treasures, gold and silver— anything was possible.
She thought for a moment and said:
“Brother Kaden, lately people have been talking badly about me behind my back, saying I’m stupid and foolish. Brother Kaden, could you go scold them for me?”

All the officials were holding back

My face darkened–was she treating such serious merit and royal dignity like a children’s game?
I spoke coldly: “Shut up.”
She immediately fell silent.
Today, being rewarded according to her merit, she had specially worn a pink dress embroidered with golden flowers and arrived early, sitting proudly in her seat.
Now she hung her head in shame, not daring to look at the officials‘ faces,

awkwardly holding back tears like a child who had done something wrong.
Even her bright dress seemed to turn dull.
My heart ached for a moment, and I wondered if I should dismiss court early to comfort her.
Then I told myself it didn’t matter—she was just a fool who wouldn’t hold grudges
anyway.
Just like the day I found her,
I treated her as a weapon on my path to becoming king, yet she thought I was the best, most capable, and most handsome
