I stared at the rebel leader Elias for a long time, trying to discern if he was attempting to lure me into a trap. Honestly, even if I received the smallest injury, the kingdom would execute all rebels without exception because of my status as a prince, and they might even execute their children and spouses.
Furthermore, even the suspicion of another state's involvement could be used as a pretext for declaring war. Although the Tamerid Empire is one of the strongest states on the continent, it cannot afford to start a war right now.
Because of the expansionist policy of the Tamerid Empire, it has no allies among the states on the continent, and if it tries to expand westward, a large coalition would undoubtedly form against it. That's why I initially considered the possibility that the rebels might want to join the Tamerid Empire, but I can confidently say that the Tamerid Empire does not want war.
