The gifts that Mahiro presented were naturally his enhancement potions and the modified court equipment.
At first, the girls were somewhat afraid when they saw the syringe in his hand, after all, they still vividly remembered being taken to the research institute.
They even began to doubt whether they had done something wrong that made the instructor dislike them.
It wasn't until Black Eyes and Little Silver were the first to come out and receive his injection that things progressed.
Of everyone, only the two of them truly knew that Yotsuba Mahiro wouldn't harm them; in fact, the injections would make them feel quite comfortable.
And after receiving the injection.
Just as they expected, apart from a little pain at first, a comfortable feeling followed, as if their entire soul had been elevated, making them feel even more comfortable than before.
Seeing this, the others followed suit and received the injections, including Nahashu and Green.
Then came the distribution of the servants' tools.
He has repaired the defects in the weapons; for example, Cornelia's Crusher King can not only unleash more powerful force, but also enhance its regenerative ability.
After she was enhanced and further empowered by the weapon, it can be said that unless her head is cut off, even destroying her heart would not kill her.
Bonnie's Yuzhi Pants are imbued with an acceleration spell, which greatly enhances her leg strength and speed, and increases her stamina.
Tsukushi's Prometheus pistol no longer suffers from reduced accuracy. Moreover, it can fire multiple bullets based on the individual's mental strength, making it an upgraded version of the "Magic Bullet Shooter".
Just like in the original story, Nahash and Grin were assigned the Water Dragon Sword, which could temporarily enhance their strength, and the Rattlesnake, a weapon that was somewhat difficult to control.
Xiao Yin was assigned the Thousand-Layer Robe, which allows her to control not only the soil but also the rocks.
This ability was enhanced by the insights he gained from analyzing the extremely dangerous species.
As for the two sisters, Black Eyes and Red Eyes...
They are somewhat special.
Mahiro did not assign Kiriichimonji to Akame as in the original work, but gave it to Kurome. After being strengthened, Kiriichimonji can now unleash sword energy according to the user's strength.
As for the "March of the Dead - Eight Houses," he plans to retrieve it from the Imperial Treasury later and give it to Kurohime for use.
Akame, on the other hand, was assigned the [One-Hit Kill Murasame] that he had reforged.
After all, how can Akame be called Akame without Murasame?
Akame grasped the crimson sheath, and although she liked it very much, she did not accept it. After all, with her strength in the assassination squad, she should not have been able to obtain this only Imperial Arm!
"Red Eyes, since Lord Yotsuba has given it to you, it means he has already acknowledged you. Moreover, we have all seen your hard work over the years, so please accept it."
"Yes, yes, if you don't want it, then I'll take Bonnie with me."
After being persuaded by everyone, Akame finally stopped refusing and accepted Murasame, attaching it to her waist.
After many years of training, Yikun's training has come to an end.
After dealing with the matter, Mahiro took them back to the capital and planned to give them a few days off.
However, upon returning to the capital, the group of girls couldn't help but exclaim in surprise once again, as their attire made them look like naive young girls from the countryside.
After so long, they have returned and witnessed this prosperity once again.
I remember the last time they stood here, they were still very young and could only watch from afar.
Now they have matured. For example, Cornelia has become the most beautiful woman in the group, while Akame and Kurome have become the cute and aloof beauties from the original work.
Xiaozhu Zi and Xiaoyin standing together look like debut idols, especially since their breasts have grown quite large.
Only Bonnie remained as childlike as ever.
But this time, they can have some real fun.
As for their accommodation, he naturally arranged for them to stay in his own mansion. Anyway, the mansion was so big and had so many rooms that it could accommodate even if their number increased several times.
The girls were very happy to see Wu Min and Remus again.
Unexpectedly, they had another chance to meet, so they pulled Mine together and started chatting away.
Meanwhile, Mahiro went to the assassination department.
"You're here. Is the assessment over?"
"It's over. Everyone passed. The best performers were Nahash and the Akame and Kurome sisters."
Makoto plopped down opposite Bill and told him the truth.
"Hmm, that's indeed quite good. In that case, Minister Ernest just happens to have a task assigned to you to lead a team to carry out. I was originally planning to give it to you tomorrow, but it seems the timing is just right now."
"Minister Ernest?"
Mahiro frowned, took the letter, glanced at it briefly, then tossed it aside and said indifferently:
"I'm saying, I train assassins, not a security force, right? And I remember the assassination squad has the word 'Empire' in its name, so they're not the minister's personal guards, are they?"
“Hehe, but you, Deputy Minister, were promoted by Minister Ernest himself. Moreover, His Majesty is currently unwell, so Minister Ernest has stepped forward to stabilize the court, worried that some people might become restless!” Bill said with a smile.
But his smile paired with that ferocious face was even uglier than crying.
"So, the old emperor doesn't have many days left?"
"Yes, within this period of time."
"So this young prince I'm asked to protect is the puppet chosen by the ministers to be installed as the new emperor?"
"You can't say that, Vice Minister Yotsuba."
Bill crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "The palace has been unsafe lately, with several crown princes being assassinated. Therefore, the ministers want to strengthen security. Although this is the work of the palace guards, it is not overstepping your authority to have your garrison take over. It can be considered the first collaboration between the assassination unit and the capital's garrison."
They really found a plausible reason.
Even a fool would know that most of those assassinations were carried out by Minister Ernest.
Minister Ernest's decision to have the young prince protected by an assassination squad was simply out of fear that his rival faction would eliminate the puppet he wanted to install.
After all, judging from the current situation, the struggle for the throne among the princes has become extremely intense, to the point that even General Bude cannot suppress it.
In their quest for the ultimate throne, the princes would stop at nothing, and it wouldn't be surprising if they even turned on each other.
As it happened, Esdeath was on her way to conquer the alien tribes on the southwestern border and could not return in time, nor was it possible for her to return.
Undercurrents were already brewing throughout the capital.
However, this felt quite novel to Yotsuba Mahiro.
So he agreed and took on the task.
-------------------------------------
Two days later.
"Get ready, we have a mission. After breakfast, I'll take you to the palace to see the young prince."
"Lord Yotsuba, is this...is it really that sudden?"
The girls, who had been making a ruckus at the dinner table, suddenly froze.
There was nothing surprising about being sent on a mission, but entering the palace to meet the young prince was something else entirely.
Is the range really that big?
"The palace! It's actually the palace! This is amazing! We can finally go out on a mission!"
Finally, it was that idiot Bonnie who broke the deadlock, shouting excitedly.
The group exchanged glances and could only manage a wry smile at the idiot Bonnie.
How could a task like meeting the young prince at the palace be simple?
......
After breakfast, Mahiro led them to the assassination department. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Bill, they followed him into a luxurious courtyard in the inner palace.
Upon seeing the badge indicating that the assassin was the minister, the two soldiers on guard immediately lined up and saluted in unison.
Normally, the security of the palace is the responsibility of the Royal Guard under the command of the Grand General, but the two guards seem to have been specially sent by Lord Ernest to protect them!
"What's the situation?" the assassination minister asked in a deep voice.
One of the guards replied respectfully, "Don't worry, sir, we haven't found any problems yet, but His Highness is insisting on going out to play, and we can't keep up!"
"Yes, I'll take care of it."
Bill nodded slightly and led Zhenxun and the others into the courtyard. What appeared before them was the pavilion where the prince lived his daily life, with a few well-behaved and clever maids occasionally in sight.
It must be said that the fact that Minister Ernest was able to place his guards deep within the palace shows that his power was already enormous.
It's estimated that once the old emperor passes away, this fat pig will be able to easily put the young prince on the throne and completely control the situation!
However, just as they were walking in the inner courtyard of the palace, and just as the women were curious about everything around them...
Suddenly, the door to the attic in front opened a small gap, and a very cute and delicate-looking little head popped out, looking around.
Ultimately, their attention was focused on them.
Similarly, Yotsuba Mahiro was slightly stunned when she saw the child.
Wasn't it supposed to be the little prince?
Are you sure that's the young prince?
Let's see some pictures of Illya.jpg
Chapter 137 The Battle for the Throne (5.2K)
"Your Highness! How did you manage to run away without permission!"
The assassination minister was taken aback and quickly stepped forward.
"Ugh, I'm so bored staying in this little house all the time, please take me out."
The little prince pouted in dissatisfaction, looking quite adorable with his huffy expression. Behind him were two maids who immediately lowered their heads in fear upon seeing the arrival of the assassination minister, Bill.
"No, Your Highness, please forgive us, Minister Ernest has instructed that you cannot go out right now. We are concerned that someone might endanger your safety, so we have no choice but to ask you to stay here for the time being."
But don't worry, I've brought a few people to keep you company.
As the assassination minister spoke, he pointed to Yotsuba Mahiro and the others who were walking towards them from not far behind.
The young prince had already spotted them, but they were too far away to see clearly. When they got closer, the young prince couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
Pointing innocently at Mahiro, she said:
"This older brother is much better looking than you. What's his name?"
"Your Highness, his name is Yotsuba Mahiro..."
"I didn't ask you!"
The young prince frowned and interrupted Bill with a reprimand, then looked at him again and asked sincerely, "Big brother, can you tell me your name?"
Mahiro smiled slightly, squatted down to be level with the prince, reached out and touched her hair, and said, "Your Highness, my name is Yotsuba Mahiro, and I am your guard."
His action terrified Bill.
That's incredibly audacious! How dare she touch the little prince's head!
It should be noted that the young prince's succession to the throne is now practically a done deal, so Zhenxun's action is tantamount to patting the emperor on the head!
but--
So what?
Anyway, the little girl in front of him was happy to let him pet her.
That's right, the so-called little prince in front of us is actually a princess, although her appearance is deceptive because she is a child.
But it couldn't escape his eyes.
Through intelligence analysis, it was confirmed that it was indeed a girl, and he understood what Minister Ernest wanted to do.
They simply wanted this princess to impersonate a prince and ascend to the throne.
After all, girls are easier to control than boys.
That's a brilliant plan...
"So your name is Yotsuba Mahiro, I'll remember that! But you said you wanted to be my bodyguard, is that true?!"
"Of course, I would never dare to deceive the emperor."
