LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 72 Consequences
"Now that you're back, the general might as well stay for a while before setting off. It just so happens that the minister wants to recall you for something, but he didn't expect General Esdeath to move so quickly and quickly suppress the invading foreign nations from the north... .”
"For the general's efforts, I will reward him later..."
"However, may I ask you what personal matter the general wants to deal with? This is just my curiosity. It doesn't matter if Sir Esdeath doesn't want to talk about it..."
The little emperor sitting on the throne said with a smile. From the way of speaking, this child's education was very good.
Esdeath, who was below, heard the little emperor's question and explained to the little emperor the personal issues he wanted to deal with.
"Yes... I want to find a lover recently..."
Yes, find the person you are destined to be.
"Forehead..."
Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene became cold. The ministers and the young emperor above were all stunned for a moment, and some could not believe the answer of the general below.
However, the well-educated little emperor was the first to resolve the stalemate.
"That's right! After all, the general is also a single flowery girl..."
"But looking for a lover?"
Rubbing his chin, the little emperor thought for a moment, then stretched out his thin arm and pointed at the man beside him.
"Then let me recommend a few... What do you think of this minister?"
"His Majesty..."
Upon hearing the little emperor's recommendation, the minister stood blankly on the spot, and his big hand with nowhere to rest was frozen in mid-air.
"Thank you for the recommendation, Your Majesty, but with all due respect, the minister suffers from high blood pressure. It would not be surprising if he dies anytime... Moreover, the minister's appearance and condition are far from the person I chose..."
"How rude! Don't look at me like this, I'm in good health... When I was young, I was a high-quality man from the empire who fascinated thousands of girls..."
After hearing the minister's explanation, everyone present looked up at each other in confusion, including General Liwa, who had been marginalized by the minister.
'What kind of face does this guy have to say such a thing...'
Levi, who was half-kneeling on the ground, glanced at the minister and then lowered his head. The thoughts of the other two companions were not clear either.
"So, does General Esdeath have a candidate in mind?"
"Yes, I already have someone I like. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely bring him to meet His Majesty..."
"Really? Then I'll be looking forward to the kind of man who can enchant Esdeath..."
After taking a deep look at Esdeath, the little emperor continued.
"By the way, I have also thought about the reward for suppressing the war in the north. I will give General Esdeath 10,000 gold coins..."
"Does the general want any other rewards?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Esdeath thought of an interesting thing, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he suppressed his inner thoughts and continued talking.
"If you want gold coins, just give them to the soldiers who are staying at the border... As for other rewards, I can't think of them at the moment... When I think of them, Your Majesty, please don't find me verbose..."
"Haha, how could it be possible? I am the emperor!"
"Then minister, now it's up to you to communicate with Mr. Esdeath what you want the other party to do... I will go down and rest first..."
Looking at the little emperor, the minister smiled and waved.
"Well! Your Majesty! I hope you have a good dream!"
--------
"Is there something wrong? Minister..."
Walking in the corridor of the palace garden, Esdeath looked at the flowers in the garden and said without looking back.
"Oh...it's the thieves wandering around the imperial capital, a 'night attack' thing..."
Minister Ernest stroked the beard on his chin, put one hand behind his back, and said meaningfully.
"'Night Raid'?"
Hearing the night attack, Esdeath calmed down a little and looked at the minister.
"Yes, General Esdeath just happened to be back, so I don't have to bother and ask the people below to pass the order."
Looking at Esdeath's expression, the minister was also secretly happy.
Once this woman who is loyal to the wild takes the bait, it is the most fatal kill for her prey.
Although he was thinking so, the minister would not reveal his inner thoughts on the surface, but continued to speak.
"For thousands of years, as the center of the country, the most prosperous imperial capital has always been coveted by thieves. From small thieves to assassin traitors, they are like dangerous species that cannot be killed or eliminated..."
Little did he know, looking at the minister, Esdeath was thinking the same thing.
Isn't the guy in front of me the biggest thief in this empire? He steals power and treasure, is greedy for pleasure, and dreams of immortality. He can be described as a clown-like existence.
But it is this kind of guy who has become a person inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in this country.
It can even be said that the only one is his chess piece.
"Recently, the rampant actions of the "Night Raid" have made everyone and gods angry. Not only did they kill Oka, the captain of the imperial guard force, but also my relative Iokal. Even the Teigu who beheaded Zank and the "Hundred" of the guard force were killed. Arm Titan' were all captured by the other side, and other assassination activities are increasing day by day..."
"Because I don't want to trouble General Bude, so I want to ask General Esdeath..."
"Oh? What an interesting proposal... I just have a lot of free time recently, and I want to find a new way to entertain myself... As for the night attack, I remember that the opponents are all Teigu users... Then I will also set up a team of emperors. Let's use an army of envoys to fight..."
"Then I have a good idea about this..."
The two walked along the corridor towards the depths of the palace, and the minister's voice gradually disappeared.
--------
Facing dusk, Esdeath walked in the palace of the imperial capital after having dinner with the minister.
Sure enough, the minister's head was flooded before he came up with such an idea.
On the one hand, he wanted to use himself as a swordsman to eliminate political opponents, and on the other hand, he wanted to lead out night attacks so that his subordinates could compete with the opponent.
Although judging from the situation in his memory, even if his subordinates die, the current situation will not change much, but he is tired of the feeling of being used as a sword.
It was a pity that his subordinates died so hastily.
"Why don't you try it according to your own ideas..."
Esdeath, who raised the corners of her mouth slightly, thought of the games she had been exposed to in her memory. The girl with a smile looked extremely beautiful at the moment.
"It seems...it's called cultivation...right..."
despair!despair!despair!despair!
The crisp sound of high heels resounded through the quiet corridors of the palace. After a while, Esdeath walked out of the corridor and saw three subordinates waiting in the courtyard.
"There are new orders sent to you, the Three Hunters..."
