Imperial Reincarnation: I Came, I Saw, I Survived (Manga) Volume 5

Trouble brews on the Bundarte Empire’s northern border as the Teyanave Confederation secedes. With the leaders of both major factions absent as they scramble to protect their interests at home, Carmine takes advantage of the confusion to refine his swordsmanship, court (or perhaps fumble) his fiancée Rosaria, and refine his magic, all under Timona’s watchful eye. As Carmine’s plans progress smoothly, Vodedt brings him trouble in the form of a mysterious boy, gagged and bound! Carmine sharpens his claws and watches for the perfect moment in Volume 5!
