Chapter 550 - Im more beautiful than them! (2/2)
”Well, is there such a thing?”
The smile on Esdeath froze at this moment when she heard their conversation.
”This is what I have heard from my brother's relative.”
The man looked around and said, ”It is said that when the new Emperor ascended the throne, he imprisoned five beautiful girls directly in the palace, saying that they would become his concubines.”
”The brother of my relatives' friends are working in the Capital and he has been assigned in the palace, so he knows everything that has happened in the Capital. It is said that the new Emperor has been forcing everyone to acknowledge him to become the new Emperor!”
”By the way, I also have heard that the new Emperor using the power of the military to get the throne forcing everyone to accept him or else they will be killed.”
”I didn't expect that the new Emperor would be such a person.”
”Yes, so all of these good policies are a lie! Soon, he will become an evil person comparable to Honest!”
”Then are we ordinary people not saved?”
The people around started to become scared when they thought that Haru would become the second Honest.
However, when everyone was scared suddenly one person said something that made them see hope.
”That's not true! The Revolutionary Army has been preparing to end this horror at the border of the Empire!”
”The Revolutionary Army is the hope of the people!”
Esdeath, who heard all of this, knew that the one who had incited this was someone from the Revolutionary Army. She stood up and created a sword of ice in her hand before pointing it at the Revolutionary Army's people who had constantly incited the people in their surroundings.
”Esdeath....”
This person from the Revolutionary Army suddenly shut his mouth when he saw Esdeath.
”It's good that you know me.” Esdeath smiled and said, ”Tell me everything you know, otherwise, I'll let you try the torture methods that I have researched recently.” She had researched good torture methods for Haru before and thought that it was a good chance to see whether it was effective or not.
The man's leg became weak and he couldn't move. In front of Esdeath, all of his power had gone and he didn't have courage for help. Once he had called someone then, without doubt, all the the Revolutionary Army's people in this town would die. Even though he had trained in the Revolutionary Army to steel himself, but in front of Esdeath's threat.
Gulp!
He decided to confess everything to Esdeath about what he knew since Esdeath was too scary.
Esdeath nodded and learned everything from this man.
Haru had cooperated with Night Raid to attack the Capital, then killed General Budo along with Honest Prime Minister. The Little Emperor was also killed by Haru and he had also controlled the entire army in the Capital and government officials.
However, because the means of Haru to become Emperor was too barbarian, a lot of people were dissatisfied with Haru and didn't recognize him as the new Emperor.
The Revolutionary Army was collaborating with those people to launch an attack on Kasugano Haruka.
”What about the five beautiful girls?”
Compared to the affairs of the Empire and the new Emperor, Esdeath was more concerned about the five beautiful girls who this man had talked about earlier.
”The five girls are part of a group called Night Raid. They're Akame, Mine, Leone, Sheele, and Chelsea, ” the man confessed everything. He thought for a while and explained. ”It is said that Kasugano Haruka has imprisoned them because they're young and beautiful....” He couldn't say the rest since the ice sword on Esdeath's hand had entered his body. ”Cough.....!” He coughed blood before falling to the ground lifelessly.
Esdeath made the ice sword in her hand disappear and watched a lot of people running away because she had killed someone on the street, however, she didn't care about any of that since her heart was boiling in anger right now.
Young and beautiful?
'I'm more beautiful than them!'
Esdeath suddenly realized that she had become weird and there was a flush on her cheeks.
