akame ga kill (shadow of the empire)

part 10

Revan sat in his room aboard the Salvation in deep meditation wondering how exactly he was going to justify moving his ship away from the capitol. He could tell the minister and general esdeath that there was going to be a test of the Weapons Systems and check up on the ships operating procedures they might buy that. It was strange though he also had the meeting with night raid it would be the first time that Akame had seen him in his full armored and robes something told him that she was still probably extremely mad in her mind he killed her friend. There is still the Jaegers he had to worry about not to mention that his older sister and then there was Tatsumi and hopefully his little secret not getting out into the open. This was going to be a very long day but maybe today would be his last if night raid decide to kill him. Sheele came into his room to check on him she had gathered up all of her things she was ready to leave.

Sheele- Revan will you be ok?

Revan- of course I will be doesn't mean I'm not a little bit nervous.

Sheele- I know that you're doing what you think is right to effect change you're doing it from the inside.

Revan- I'm trying to hahaha for all the good that it's doing me

Sheele- you are right I didn't trust you at first part of me still doesn't trust you but I know that you're at least trying. I wish you the best of luck I'm certain we'll meet each other again one day.

Revan- yes one day I know that I've sped up my plans and I know that you probably wanted to stay around here a little bit longer but this is for the best I've arranged a small accident to happen your body will be counted among the Dead. There's a cottage not too far from here that you can take refuge at.

Sheele- thank you Revan

Revan- just stay away from night raid for at least the next couple of weeks or until Tatsumi rejoins your group. I have a place set up for you that place where the scientist went to it can be a safe haven for you as well I'm going to be leaving there after the meeting with night raid. If you're interested I can take you there it's a lot better than walking.

Sheele- it's okay Revan you don't need to. You've done enough for me and for others as well. There is one thing I would ask of you though.

Revan- what is it?

Sheele- what is the secret you're trying to protect so much why do you remain in the Empire why do you wear that mask.

Revan ultimately knew the question was going to come you decide that there is no use in hiding it she was a friend and he ultimately thought that she had a right to know.

Revan- I wear the mask to hide my face because I look so much like my older sister in a certain sense. My older sister is General esdeath. I stay in the Empire because she's my only living family even though I know what she's done and eventually I will defect away from the Empire I still hold out some bit of Hope to save my sister.

Sheele was extremely shocked to say the least but now it all made sense everything made sense now.

Sheele- does your sister know does she even acknowledge?

Revan- no she doesn't know and I doubt she'll ever acknowledge me as her younger brother I may have to work with her from time to time but that doesn't mean I condone what she does. She's a person of pure war and chaos the Rebellion has been caused by people like her. Her absolute cruelty and her absolute lost in causing people pain being a sadist is why the Rebellion is gaining more and more Steam people want her gone. I know I can't protect her but I have to live with what she's done it's my sin to bear.

Sheele- just remember you're not alone the Rebellion could use somebody like you when you're ready will be there for you.

Sheele hugged Revan and then let him go with that with a usual smile she left his room and walked out onto the flight deck. She got into a small boat and left the Salvation as she began her journey she looked back one more time. She knew that she would see him one last time that they would be allies forever and maybe friends as well. He did not have to suffer alone he now had common ground with all of night raid. The sun was going to be up soon he would have to go to his meeting with the minister apparently he had a big news he would deliver his report that the salvation needed to have a p r systems upgrade and checks before it started to go off into true combat. He could at least get 3 hours of sleep before everything got started. And with that Revan sat down in his chair and closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
