Yes, she saw those letters.

Yes, she saw the corrupted nobles.

But what if...

It was all staged?

Her mind was struck by a thunder as she thought of that possibility. With dull eyes, she looked back at Esdeath and asked, "General Esdeath... Is what you said true?"

"Yes.", Esdeath looked back at her and replied to her emotionlessly. But she was happy. For she had gotten one of her subordinates back, and also got herself an ally for the fight. Now this was not 1 person fighting three, it was two people against two.

It won't make a huge difference with her condition. But with Seryuu on her side, she was confident that she could take down Zero Two while Seryuu held off Wave.

"Seryuu. I am giving you a chance to prove to me that you are not another traitor. Prove it to me by bringing her their dead bodies."

'Grand Fall!'

*Bang*

Esdeath quickly moved to her side and used her sword to block the durbish falling toward her from Wave's drop-kick attack. "I am disappointed Wave. I can see that you know more about the 'Shadow Garden', but you kept it a secret from our poor Seryuu..."

*Shiu* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Wave ignored her taunt as he instantly used his speed advantage to his gain and instantly rushed toward Esdeath and used his fist to attack her. Each attack caused the air to tremble while creating a crater wherever it either landed or below the ground where Esdeath stood when she blocked his attack.

Tilting her head, Esdeath finally narrowed her eyes. She was thinking if she should kill Wave or not.

As their fight was reaching its climax point, Seryuu finally screamed, "Is what she saying true... Wave?", her body was still trembling as shadow covered her eyes.

Her voice resounded throughout the battlefield, making Wave almost stop in his pursuit. For an instant, Wave thought about screaming that Ryo was actually the illegitimate son of the Emperor even if he was thought of as a liar.

But just as he was about to say anything, he saw an opening in Esdeath's guard, causing him to instantly punch Esdeath's left shoulder.

*Bang*

This caused Esdeath to smirk while she used the attack to spin and deliver another kick to him. 'That was a good tactic. Wave is hiding something and would have said it out just now. Although he didn't say it out because of the opening I showed him.'

'Now that he ignored Seryuu...', A smirk covered Esdeath's face as she asked out, "See this Seryuu! He ignored you. He knew that Shadow was lying to you from the very start!", Despite smirking, her condition had worsened.

Her left shoulder was numb.

Just then her eyes fell on something, and she instantly leaped and carried Seryuu by her stomach and helped her dodge an attack.

Zero Two's tail sweeped by the place where Seryuu's head was located.

As Esdeath looked back, her eyes met Zero Two's trembling eyes.

A smirk formed across her face, it stretched across her whole face as she narrowed her eyes toward her. 'Got you!'

Zero Two was getting impatient. She could feel that her babies were safe, but she was afraid for the first time in a long while. She had already lost her 'Darling', she couldn't lose anything more.
