"Oh, so this is the Imperial Palace that the General spoke of, the one supposedly infiltrated by thieves?"

"This feeling... it's just like a monster's lair."

"Honestly, I'm getting a bit excited."

Standing outside the palace and gazing at the scene within, Esdeath's wild nature was immediately aroused.

Esdeath was born in the northern border region, the daughter of the chieftain of the Partas Clan, a tribe specialized in hunting Danger Beasts.

Living a life at odds with nature, she developed a belief in the survival of the fittest from a young age.

Because of this, she was full of wildness.

At the same time, she possessed the keen senses of a beast.

Just by standing before the palace, she could sense the dangerous aura emanating from within.

It was like the territory of a monster's lair.

But instead of feeling fear at such a crisis, it excited her.

Esdeath's favorite activity was hunting Danger Beasts.

"Can you feel it?"

Hearing Esdeath's muttering to herself, General Budo's expression grew serious.

He suspected that the enemy was a master of illusion.

Facing such an enemy would be difficult even for him, unless he used "Adramelech" to cover the entire palace with his Teigu's attack.

But such an attack would cause the Empire to lose all dignity.

It might even lead to the young Emperor's death.

This was unacceptable to General Budo.

Therefore, even though he had noticed Mika's impersonation, he still hadn't exposed him.

After all, just because he could see through it didn't mean others could.

If his plan wasn't meticulous enough, the other party, who had already gained control over the civil officials and some military officials, could easily confuse truth and falsehood and eliminate him.

This was not impossible, because the opponent still held the Teigu "Erastone" that he had retrieved from the Minister.

This Teigu had the effect of destroying other Teigu.

So he had to think carefully.

But Esdeath's sudden return disrupted his plans.

General Budo knew Esdeath's true nature very well.

Unlike other officials, Esdeath had no interest in politics or power.

What this sadistic woman desired was to trample her enemies.

She longed for endless battles.

And as long as someone could fulfill her desires, she would serve them, no matter who they were.

Just like the former Prime Minister Honest.

Even though Honest was such a despicable person, as long as he met Esdeath's expectations, she became his most steadfast ally.
