Weird News

Inside the imperial palace, A young and gorgeous woman was walking through the hallway. She wore white clothes accented with black, her long blue hair matched her eyes perfectly.

Her steps were slow-paced, giving a feeling of confidence and strength. Those who didn't know who she was would be attracted to her and might try to court her at first sight.

The woman entered a vast room, where a fat middle-aged man was setting at the side of the dining table. The man was munching away at meat of some sort gleefully, even though it still appeared to be raw.

"Hello prime minister, it has been a while," the woman said as she continued her approach table as the man continued eating.

"Oh general Esdeath, Welcome back, congratulations on your victory in the north. Hope the battle and the north hero were good enough to entertain you" the prime minister said.

"It was enjoyable, but the fabled 'hero of the north' was nothing special. I don't know how that weakling got his reputation. At least I had the chance to torture thousands, I even learned new torture methods" Easdeath replied with a slight smile.

The prime minister looked at the sweet woman before him and shivered slightly. If not for him being sure this sadistic woman would never betray him given that he provided her with people to satisfy her sadistic hobbies, he would have never dared to sit in the same room with her.

"Excellent news, general! Now that you are done from dealing with the north. You can focus more on the issues inside the capital city" The prime minister said before continuing with his meal.

"I assume you mean night raid?" Esdeath said

"Correct, these rats started to become really annoying. They are killing our allies inside the capital city. Moreover, just a few weeks ago they assassinated my dear cousin" The prime minister said as his face contorted with rage.

Esdeath smiled slightly as her hand extended to a wine cup on the table. Sipping from it, she said "It seems my old friend Najenda has been active while I was away."

"Right again, General! Now that you are here, we will finally get rid of these vermins" The prime minister said in sinister anticipation.

"Since first hearing about them, I already had a plan to dispose of them" Esdeath replied confidently.

"Oh! That's great, I would like to hear this plan of yours Esdeath. The prime minister said with a cruel smile then took another bite.

Esdeath was about to reply when the door was knocked, she frowned slightly at the interruption. Looking toward the door, she spoke "Enter."

A soldier came in, the man stood with a mix of fear and respect while Esdeath said coldly, "I said not to interrupt me when I'm sitting with the prime minister. For your own sake, this had better be important."

The soldier gulped and said "I'm sorry, General, but I have to report news regarding the defeat of the three beasts."

"hmm? Very well then, speak" Esdeath said.

At the same time, in Night raid hideout. Everyone with the except of Lubbock and Sheele who was now dead were sitting in the dining hall eating their lunch, when a frantic lubbock burst through the doors.

"You're late, I was about to eat your share" joked Leone.

"No time for your jokes ! I have important news" Lubbock said hurriedly.

"Let's hear it then" Najenda ordered

"Esdeath and her 3 beasts have returned..." Lubbock said to surprise everyone with the except of clueless Tatsumi. All the assassins became serious upon hearing that name. "Ummm... who is Esdeath? I've heard you mention her before" Tatsumi said
