While prisoners of war were being counted, a dirty hand grabbed Xilin by the pant leg. The sword tip turned back, pressing against his throat. A scarlet tongue licked the blade. "If I can help you rule the Seven Seas, will that be enough to spare my worthless life?" The man, dressed like a slave, spoke. His thin frame was hunched, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright. "Favored of the sea, you were born to rule." . Lyle Adams, the most notorious bounty hunter in the Lower City, a land-dwelling scorpion, and the illegitimate son of a cardinal of the Church of the Seven Seas. "The head of the sea-favored one is your bargaining chip to win back your mother and sister." Because of a promise made by the man who was his father by blood, this outlaw plunged into the endless deep sea. He pretended to kneel in reverence and kiss the favored one's weapon, all the while plotting how to cut off her head. Xilin let out a laugh. The sword tip lifted the slave's chin. "Throw him overboard." Reader's guide: - Female ensemble cast, low magic, plot-driven serious story - Not for readers who insist on chaste romance. Female lead is not a virgin, male lead is. Melodramatic happy ending. Equally matched leads. - Sea-favored one x outlaw - Side couple: schemer x schemer Theme: The exceptional are always searching for an extraordinary fate, often without realizing it.
