“Sweetheart, spit it out. How did you get these grapes? Did His Highness Agares really hand them to you? And I watched him walk out with a plant full of rainbow fruit. Where did your rainbow pepper go?”

He wanted to strip every secret off her.

She refused to let him peel a single layer. Sylvara kept her voice cool. “I had no spare container. I moved my rainbow pepper into the bright red pepper plot.”

She tapped the plate. “And the fruit here

ame from someone else. He did not come here to see me. He only stopped in because he was passing through.”

Wait, he wasn’t there for his new wife?

Who else in The Fifth Military Academy has the pull to drag His Highness to campus?

Aslan shook his head. “You are his new bride. You are his partner. You are his heir. If he dies at the front, you pick up his ashes. If he did not come for you, then who else was worth that trip?”

Troya Empire laws were insane.

A prince’s wife inherited everything.

Her thoughts started spinning. His accounts were huge. His properties had to be even bigger.

She almost cheered.

Then she forced herself to stop.

If her bargain-bin husband died, she would hold a jar of dust instead of a tall, hot, touchable man. That would be a loss she could not handle.

“Of course there is someone like that.” Sylvara locked her face down, betraying not a single one of her intrusive thoughts. “His Highness is Troya’s commander before anything else. He is a prince second. He is my husband last.

“In his world, the Empire sits at the top. His wife stands at the bottom. If a Level 7 grower from the Plant Department shows up, tell me, which one matters more? A wife or a Level 7 mental- energy grower?”

Aslan’s eyes flew wide. His back snapped straight. His mouth hung open. His voice broke. “You mean a Level 7 grower made these grapes?”

Sylvara nodded like it was nothing. “I have no mental energy. My body is weak. And I suffer

“I need natural food to stay stable. I once met a grower by chance. I did not know he was Level 7. He gave me a rainbow pepper plant.

“That rainbow pepper stayed in my spatial button. That is why The Fifth Military Academy peppers look different from mine. I climbed into their field because I wanted to compare them.

“His Highness heard that the grower appeared in the Fifth Sector. He heard that the grower might move to the Federation. So he rushed here.”

The second Aslan heard “Level 7 grower” and “Federation,” he jumped up and slammed the table so hard the sound cracked. “We cannot let him go to the Federation. A Level 7 Plant Department healer is a treasure of Troya. They fix genetic breakdown, and they’re the top of their field. They cannot leave this Empire. That’s treason!”

Sylvara blinked. “Plant Department mental energy can fix genetic breakdown?”

She felt like lightning hit her. I never knew that.

She never knew she arrived with power that strong.

Aslan stared like she was missing half a brain. “You did not know that?”

Sylvara shot back. “Why would I know? Everyone calls the Plant Department the farming people. Who thinks a farmer is a healer?”

No one on ancient Earth ever told her farmers could repair DNA.

She only knew her mental energy slowed genetic breakdown. If she knew it fixed it, she would have patched her bargain-bin husband the moment she saw him and earned points forever.

Aslan forgot he was talking to a prince’s wife. He stared like she was hopeless. “You might be an actual idiot. This is basic knowledge.”
