It has been days since Braedey had visited the capital; even after all the ruckus he caused, the Empire still had no idea who or what he was. Even when anyone describe them to the higher authorities, they would dismiss it as just either another Danger Beast and/or an illegal Imperial Arms user. That said, they had no idea who they were up against. The Minister had called back Esdeath in these matters to annihilate Night Raid.

Esdeath knelt down before the Child Emperor Mako as he congratulated her on her mission. The other three officers behind her all knelt as well; these other officers behind her were her "underlings". They each wore varying sizes of their black and white Imperial Uniforms. Each carried a Celtic Cross badge on their chests giving off a Prussian feel to them. One of her underlings was a tall man with gray hair worn in a long ponytail, blue eyes and a mustache, the other was a young man of small build with blond hair and golden eyes. He had a somewhat feline look; his teeth were shown to be sharp, and he had slit pupils. He wore the same uniform as the other Beasts, with the exception of wearing shorts instead of pants. He also had horn-like accessories in his hair and a demon-like tail, and finally a man of large muscular build with long, spiky blond hair and pure white, pupil-less eyes. He wore a headdress similar to horns and the same uniform as his team-mates'. Former General Liver, Nyau, and Daidara all knelt before the Emperor just like their Master, showing the Emperor the highest form of respect.

"General Esdeath." The Emperor began. "For your success on conquering the Northern Tribe, we have arranged to reward you 10,000 gold coins!"

General Esdeath, not even looking at the Emperor out of respect, replied to him. "I'm grateful, your highness. I'll send it to the soldiers who were fighting to protect our land. They would be pleased."

The Prime Minister smugged, realising that Esdeath cared not for money or power, only war and destruction.

"...she is the ideal puppet." He concluded.

Esdeath eyed on the Emperor. "Now that I have returned from the North Land to the Capital, Your Majesty can once again rest easy. I'll be terminating Night Raid next." She concluded.

"What an undertaking." The Emperor said. "We would like to compensate you for such an ambitious achievement of more than just money! Is there something else you prefer?"

"Actually, there is." Esdeath replied. "If I can choose anything."

"Go on."

"I would like to try falling in love."Esdeath replied, shocking everyone in the room including the Minister himself.

"Alright, that sounds reasonable. You are a single woman of marriageable age after all. I shall be your match maker!" He said. "So what do you think of the Minister here?"

The Minister furrowed and gasped.

"The Minister doesn't take care of himself and I'm afraid that he won't live much longer." Esdeath replied

"That's preposterous! I am in perfect health!" He protested while eating his sushi. "Well, if you be so kind and tell me what you'll like!" He was still offended at what she said. Salty. Salty.

Esdeath had her eyes closed, "First, let me warn you that I'm terribly selective and that there are very few men who can match my expectations. Once I'm done, I will present you the extensive list of my preferences."

At the Hideout, Akame and Mine were in the kitchen. While Sheele was resting up, Mine was in the kitchen trying to eat her breakfast until Akame used her own spoon to pick it up, trying to spoon-feed her.

Offended, Mine glared at Akame. "I don't want you to spoon-feed me!" She protested.

"But it would get cold." Akame interjected.
