Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Now that the king of Moon Country had officially surrendered, messengers were dispatched with news of Hoffman's conquest. Meanwhile, a general was leading his army from one of the three neighboring cities to reinforce him. Unaware of what had happened, he had marched halfway before meeting one of the messengers.

"A victory in the Grand Pass?" he repeated, staring at the man in astonishment.

"Yes, a victory. Prince Hoffman captured the general of Moon Country, Huey Huyan, alive." The messenger was so proud. Two days prior, he had feared that the Grand Pass would be sacked, which would have been a very gruesome affair indeed. But now, the Moon Country surrendered.

"But His Majesty ordered us to assist in the attack on Moon Country," the general said, half to himself. Having no war to fight came as something of a shock. Since there had been a great victory, perhaps his forces could be useful in its aftermath, and he could make a profit that way.

"Moon Country's army was decimated. The king has already si

e done reestablishing defenses at the Grand Pass, you can lead the army back to the imperial capital. Not only have you won a war with a numerically inferior force, but now Moon Country will belong to the Bright Dynasty as a county. His Majesty will be very happy about all this."

"With this military achievement, I will be on par with Felix in the imperial capital. It's no longer so certain who the next emperor will be..." Hoffman trailed off dreamily, as though he could see the throne waiting for him.

Not long after Harrison's departure, Hoffman himself was able to return to the imperial capital with his army. There was a great deal of fanfare, with crowds greeting him at every town he passed through. He had won a great battle with only five thousand soldiers, and the common people were excited over his victory. They had good reason to give Hoffman so much attention. His ambition was great, and even the crown prince had no such achievements to his name. Sooner or later, Felix would find himself replaced.
