[Coming-of-age + One heroine + No System + Conquest + Multiple races]

"Think you're taming a beast? You're the one she's hunting!"

"An unlucky little girl with no parents but a claim to the throne. I taught her the art of political maneuvering, never expecting that I’d be the first one she schemed against, "

Lynn Giscard, the "Cunning Fox" who commands the Redhand Mercenary Corps, only meant to con his way into a steady meal ticket. Instead, he unexpectedly became regent of the Blood Spirit Empire. He personally helped the trembling silver-haired girl onto the throne, taught her courtly intrigue, and even slaughtered his way through the Holy See to raise funds for her army.

"Your Majesty, I've emptied the Church treasury for you. Time to pay my commission, don't you think?"

"Lord Giscard..." The girl on the throne raised her blood-red eyes. "You taught me this: only those who survive to the end deserve to collect."

When rebel forces closed in outside the city and the nobles staged a counterattack within, Lynn finally realized:

The jewel-encrusted sword was pressed against his back;

The gold bars looted from the Church had all become military funds to use against him;

Even the army he'd trained himself had replaced its banners with the empress's crest!

"Well, isn't that just great! Now even the interest has doubled!"

As the Imperial Guards surrounded him, Lynn flashed a savage grin

If the wolf cub he'd raised was going to bite, then he would show her...

who the real hunter was!
