Chapter 499 - Esdeaths Husband (1/2)

”C'mon stand up.” Haru helped the fat man to stand up since he didn't hurt him that much.

The fat man was quite in pain, but he was alright. He knew that Haru could kill him, but he didn't do anything. ”Y - You really General Esdeath's husband?”

”Are you also really the cousin of the Honest Prime Minister?” Haru asked.

”....”

The fat man observed Haru from up to down. He had to admit that this young man was quite handsome and any women would like to date this young man. Even though it seemed quite young, he thought that General Esdeath loved a younger one. He didn't blindly believe him at first and said, ”How about we take a step back and have a tea to make a peace between the two of us?”

”Why not? This is my first time to come to the capital after all,” Haru said.

”Good, I'll treat you to something delicious,” the fat man said and brought Haru to the VIP room on the 2nd floor. He ignored his bodyguard who had turned into a dead man since he could search for another bodyguard again in the future.

Ieyasu and Sayo were stunned when they saw the development of the thing that had happened in front of them. They didn't expect Haru, who punched the fat man suddenly became quite friendly to each other.

'What the heck is happening?'

---

”So you're from the East?” The fat man asked curiously.

Haru nodded and sipped his tea slowly. He had to admit this tea had a quite unique aroma and it tasted quite good.

”Where have you met her?” The fat man asked.

”We have met each other in the North and we have to decide to get married on the border before,” Haru answered while drinking tea calmly.

”North,” the fat man muttered and nodded. He remembered that General Esdeath was in the north right now to fight with the rebellion or something.

”My name is Kasugano Haruka, what's your name?” Haru asked.

”Iokal. That's my name,” Iokal said. ”Why are you here? Why are you not with General Esdeath?”

Haru had a bitter expression on his face and said, ”You know how hard it is to have such a powerful woman?” He started to tell him about his hardship being the husband of Esdeath. He told them that it was hard to maintain his dignity as a man when her woman had a better career than himself and sometimes being tortured by her. His acting was really good and would make everyone believe that he was really Esdeath's husband.

Iokal sighed and nodded. ”It's hard to have such a powerful woman.” He understood Haru's bitter expression since the more powerful woman, it was hard to maintain the man's self-esteem, especially when your wife was the strongest army general in the country.

”That's why that I have thought to come to the Capital to make my own career to show that woman,” Haru said with a serious expression.

Iokal looked at Haru and thought that it would be good to have a connection with the husband of Esdeath. He knew that Esdeath was quite powerful and from the way Haru had killed his bodyguard he knew that Haru was quite strong for his age. ”Do you want to join the Imperial Police?”

”Imperial Police?” Haru looked at Iokal and seemed to be very interested.

”Yeah, I know someone in the Imperial Police and he can help you to enter the rank easily,” Iokal said with a smile.

Haru raised his eyebrow and seemed a bit doubtful. ”You're serious?”
