“New empire! Tax free for everyone!”

Running on horseback, many people made announcements about Haru's new policies to everyone in the Empire.

“The corrupt and evil Prime Minister of Honesty has died! People's lives will be better in the future!”

“People don't have to pay taxes! Tomorrow, the Empire will open a grain warehouse to provide support to everyone according to their needs!”

“Together, we can build a better future!”

“…….”

Esdeath walked along the street while listening to the announcement about the new Emperor's new policy. He had been on a remote island for a few days, and he suddenly heard that the Emperor within the Empire had changed. He felt it was very unreal and thought that he was dreaming for a while, but he knew it was not a dream and it was real.

Esdeath had only been gone for a few days, but many things had happened in those few days.

‘What happened?’ thought Esdeath.

Within days, officials within the Empire continued to announce new policies that would make the lives of the people within the Empire better by trying to gain the support of the common people.

Esdeath picked out a few teahouses and ordered tea while thinking about what had happened the past few days. He could also listen to the people around him talking about the new policy exchanging ideas.

Esdeath who was teleported to a remote island had been looking for a way to return, but he was unable to find it and he decided to give up. He decided to walk straight from the island to return to the Empire's mainland using his Teigu powers.

The Esdeath freezes the sea and sometimes flies using its ice power again.

If it was someone else then it might be impossible, but the one who did this was Esdeath.

However, when he had just returned from the Empire, he suddenly heard the news that the Emperor had changed.

Who is the new Emperor?

Esdeath knew that the original Emperor was only a child and had no children. The Little Emperor also had no relatives who could become Emperors. Honestly, too, had died and could not think of who would become the Emperor.

However, this answer was quickly answered by the people around the street.

On the road, there were many people who spoke of the Empire's changes and each had a different view of the new Emperor.

They may not know much about politics and other matters, but they only know about the generous policies issued by the Empire and some gossip about the new Emperor Kasugano Haruka.

“Do you know who the new emperor is?”

“I know! Of course, I know! It is said that the new Emperor had killed Honest before he ascended the throne!”

From their conversation, it was seen how much they hated Honest because the man had made their lives very bitter.

“The new Emperor's name is Kasugano Haruka. It seems like he was also born into poverty, so he also better understands the difficulties of our lives. I heard he wants to improve the lives of everyone in the Empire.

“Really! We, our children, and our descendants will have a good life under his leadership!”

Esdeath smiled sweetly when he heard what everyone was talking about. He had always wondered what purpose Haru had in using his name in the Capital, but he had not expected his goal to be so great and decided to become the new Emperor of the Empire.

Inevitably Esdeath thinks that Honest is foolish enough to believe that Haru is really her husband. He also thought of Honest's actions which had sent his own son to mend the relationship between him and Haru as Honest believed that their relationship was real.

If Honest was still alive then Esdeath was eager to see what was inside Honest's brain back then.

‘Haru... Haru.. What will I do with you..’.

Esdeath did not realize that his mouth had turned into a crescent moon smile. He lifted the bowl of tea gently and sipped it slowly. There was an ice cube inside the warm tea which already showed that he had prepared a lot of things for her.

“But have you heard that the new Emperor has made a harem directly after he ascended the throne?”

The smile on Esdeath froze at this moment when he heard their conversation.

“This is what I heard from my brother's relatives.”

The man looked around and said, “Said that when the new Emperor ascended the throne, he imprisoned five beautiful girls directly in the palace, saying that they would be his concubines.”

“The brother of my relative friend works in the Capital and he has been assigned to the palace, so he knows everything that has happened in the Capital. It is said that the new Emperor has forced everyone to acknowledge him as the new Emperor!”

“By the way, I have also heard that the new Emperor used military force to gain the throne forcing everyone to accept it or they would be killed.”

“I didn't expect the new Emperor would be such a person.”

“Ya, so all these good policies are a lie! In a moment, he will be a bad person comparable to Honest!”

“Then are we ordinary people not saved?”

The people around started to get scared when they thought that Haru would become Honest second.

However, when everyone was frightened suddenly one person said something that made them see hope.

“It's not true! The Revolutionary Army has prepared to put an end to this horror on the borders of the Empire!”

“The Revolutionary Army is the hope of the people!”

Esdeath, who heard all this, knew that the person who instigated this was someone from the Revolutionary Army. He stood up and created an ice sword in his hand before pointing it at those Revolutionary Army people who were constantly inciting the people around them.

“Esdeath..

This person from the Revolutionary Army suddenly covered his mouth when he saw Esdeath.

“Good if you know me.” Esdeath smiled and said, “Tell me everything you know, otherwise, I'll let you try the torture method I've researched recently.” He had researched a good torture method for Haru before and thought that it was a good opportunity to see if it was effective or not.

The man's legs became weak and he could not move. In front of Esdeath, all his strength had been lost and he did not have the courage to ask for help. Once he called someone, without a doubt, all the Revolutionary Army people in this city would die. Although he had trained in the Revolutionary Forces to strengthen himself, but in front of the threat of Esdeath.

Gulp down!

He decides to confess everything to Esdeath about what he knows because Esdeath is too scary.

Esdeath nodded and learned everything from this man.

Haru had teamed up with Night Raid to attack the Capital, then killed General Budo along with the Honest Prime Minister. The Little Emperor was also killed by Haru and he had also taken control of the entire army in the Capital and government officials.

However, because Haru's way of becoming Emperor was too barbaric, many people were dissatisfied with Haru and did not recognize him as the new Emperor.

The Revolutionary Army cooperated with the men to launch an attack on Kasugano Haruka.

“How about those five beautiful girls?”

Compared to the affairs of the Empire and the new Emperor, Esdeath was more concerned about the five beautiful girls this man had talked about before.

“The five girls are part of a group called Night Raid. They are Akame, Mine, Leone, Sheele, and Chelsea,” the man admits it all. He thought for a moment and explained. “It is said that Kasugano Haruka has imprisoned them because they are young and beautiful He could not say the rest because the ice sword in Esdeath's hand had entered his body. “Cough....!” He coughed up blood before falling onto the lifeless ground.

Esdeath made the ice sword in his hand disappear and saw many people running away because he had killed someone on the street, however, he did not care about all that as his heart was boiling in anger right now.

Young and pretty?

‘I'm prettier than them!’

Esdeath suddenly realized that he was becoming strange and that there was a red hue on his cheek.
