"The eastern borders of the Empire?"
Colin's eyebrows knitted closer together.
He was perplexed, why would marrying Vera off to a Half-Elf Prince somehow enable them to plot against the eastern borders of the Empire.
As a small kingdom wedged between the North and East Territories of the Empire, the Half-Elf Kingdom had always been playing both sides, trying to please both. However, in Colin's view, this small kingdom doesn't seem to be key in the dispute between the two territories.
Seeming to realize Colin's confusion, Prince Okamoto chuckled and asked, "Viscount, you are likely unfamiliar with naval warfare, am I right?"
Colin was thrown a bit off his rocker with that comment.
However, he had to admit, he had little experience in naval warfare from his previous life's memories.
In fact, the entire North Territory hardly had a navy.
Since time immemorial, the primary enemy of the North Territory was the Troll Empire on the Ice Plains.
