Chapter 516 - I want a love (1/2)

The palace was in a festive mood, and there was a lot of beautiful music along with the people who were dancing in happiness with the back of the General Esdeath, especially the people from Honest's camp since they knew that they would be alright with the back of the strongest general in this country.

Esdeath kneeled on one knee facing the young emperor while also reporting her process of fighting against the tribe on the North of the Empire.

”General Esdeath, I commend you on your conquerment of the North! As a reward, I will prepare ten thousand gold pieces for you.

The little emperor said to the General Esdeath on the throne with the Honest prime ministers standing up beside him.

Honest was munching sushi since he was in the mood for seafood. Even though he was quite a glutton, no one dared to say anything when they saw him eating a bucket of sushi when the little emperor announced a reward to General Esdeath.

Esdeath didn't have that much of an interest in the reward since for her she was only hunting people who were harming the Empire. The weak dead and the strong was the winner that was all of them. She told the little emperor that she would give the reward to her army who was guarding the border.

”I know that you're quite tired, but I have also asked you to take care of the Night Raid who has been causing trouble in the Capital,” the little emperor said.

”Please don't worry, I'll take care of them,” Esdeath said. She thought about taking care of the Night Raid with her Three Beasts.

The little emperor nodded and seemed very satisfied when he heard Esdeath's reply. He thought for a while and asked, ”Well, General Esdeath, do you have another request besides gold? I can prepare any reward that you want.”

Honest also nodded since he knew that General Esdeath wouldn't threaten his authority.

”If possible, I would like to have one request,” Esdeath said.

”Oh? Do you have one? Please tell me,” the little emperor asked with a curious expression.

”Well, if I had to say then I would like to find love,” Esdeath said while looking at the little emperor.

”........”

The little emperor was stunned and everyone who was standing beside them was also stunned when they heard the request of the Esdeath. They didn't expect someone as cruel and as strong as Esdeath would ask for love.

At this moment, no one knew what to say and they were too speechless to say anything.

That simple sentence brought a huge impact on everyone in this room.

Only Honest was smiling while eating as if everything was under his control.

The little emperor was quite stunned then he said, ”T - That makes sense! You're very beautiful and it is normal for you to fall in love with someone! You're also at the age of marriage!” He thought for a while and said, ”That's right! How about the prime minister? He is a very good man!”

The moment the little emperor started to say the situation turned into normal and the music which had stopped started being played again.

Honest was eating a cake right now since he craved something sweet. The speed of his eating was very fast as if he was drinking. He took a napkin and wiped his mouth before saying with a smile, ”Emperor, General Esdeath should have her own requirement for her love.”

”That's right.” Esdeath nodded and looked at Honest for a while before saying, ”The prime minister has high blood sugar and his future might not be guaranteed.”

”That's rude! I'm as fit as a horse!” Honest replied.
