I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

"Esdeath has no interest in politics or power. Galloping on the battlefield and crushing the enemy is all she wants."

"Compared to the North and West under the Mask's rule, she can act as she pleases in the Empire under my control."

"After all, judging from all the signs, no Mask can tolerate Esdeath's destructive behavior. I have the same interests as hers—"

"Compared to that old-fashioned guy Bud, she is the strongest card I have!"

Thinking of this, the smile on Ernest's lips became more and more satisfied.

However, Ernest's smile had a different meaning in the eyes of the little emperor...

It seems... this is a kind of appreciation for one's correct behavior.

Ah, I do have the potential to become a wise ruler.

The little emperor's mood suddenly became extremely cheerful, and he was completely unaware of the miserable lives his people were living.

……

……

"Esdeath is here."

In the mansion, Kayaba Akihabara glanced at Asuna and said lightly.

"I'm afraid the next action will become troublesome."

"We helped Night Raid assassinate the Minister, and the Minister called Esdeath over to deal with Night Raid, without even using the power of his own men."

Kayaba Jingyan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making crisp sounds.

At the side, Izayoi's big watery eyes quickly glanced at Kayaba Akie, as if he wanted to stop her from knocking on the table.

However, when she saw that Asuna had no intention of stopping her, she frowned slightly and held back.

Kayaba Akie naturally noticed Izayoi's little action. She naturally stopped what she was doing, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

When Izayoi saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he trotted over to Kayaba Akie, staring at her with his big eyes, waiting for her to finish drinking before pouring her some tea.

After all, there are no patients for her to play with now... ahem, she has been treated, so her current pleasure is either to tease Shayou or to bully Iyeas.

The 86 people were forced

My deeper interest is to be a qualified maid and serve the two people here.

Regardless of the taste, Kayaba Akihabara drank up the tea in the cup. After asking Izayoi to refill her cup, the girl stood aside contentedly.

Then she continued, "Those guys have been bored these days. Let's find an opportunity to let them share the attraction of Night Raid."

"You mean, let them pretend to attack at night to attract Esdeath's attention?" Asuna looked up at Kayaba Akihiko and said this.

After all, Asuna knew very well the personalities of her personal guards.

It can be said that except for themselves and Kayaba Akihiko, they will not pay attention to anyone's orders.

Of course, if it was some kind of threat from Izayoi, they would still obey it depending on the situation.

After all, everyone has some injuries these days. If there is a doctor who can save lives, maybe he can give a seriously injured and dying self a second life.

Therefore, in this mansion, Asuna's personal guards would not only obey the orders of Asuna and Kayaba Akihabara, but would also occasionally cooperate with Izayoi and help her do things within their ability.

As for Shayu and Iyeas, sorry, sorry, as newcomers, they are either being beaten or on their way to being beaten every day.

After being beaten, they also have to help Izayoi clean up the mansion, prepare meals for everyone and so on. Their daily life can be said to be very fulfilling.

Moreover, under the "teaching" of Asuna's personal guards, the strength of Sayu and Iyeas has undergone a drastic change.

In fact, he is a bit stronger than Tatsumi who has already joined the night raid.

After all, there are only so many people in Night Raid, and everyone has different areas of expertise. It is already very good that Tatsumi can find his own direction for training under such random teaching.

On the other hand, on Sauyu's side, apart from the unexpected twenty guards of Izayoi, there were always a few who had learned something similar to Sauyu and Iyeas.

As the elite among the elite of the Kamen Rider Group, their teaching ability is not weak at all.

You know, when they were in the North, they were all instructors for other masked soldiers, and they had rich experience in teaching newcomers.

Compared to the Ye Xi group who changed their careers to become assassins, they are all professionals with a "teaching certificate". No matter from which aspect, they are much more reliable than Ye Xi.

Although Shayu and Iyeas will suffer many beatings because of this "reliability", their strength growth is impeccable.

Besides, all of his personal guards were employed by the Empire, and Night Raid was just an assassination organization under the rebels. No matter from which perspective, these personal guards under his command would not obey Night Raid's command.

And Kayaba Jingyan took this into consideration, so she said this.

As for the method he mentioned to help share the pressure of the night attack, it was to let the personal guards in the mansion pretend to be the people in the night attack to confuse the audience.

After all, the news of Esdeath's return to the imperial capital could not be concealed from the rebel leaders. In order to ensure the safety of the night raid organization in the imperial capital, they would definitely provide new manpower for the night raid.

Asuna's guards played the roles of the "newcomers" sent by the rebels to support the night raid.

With the addition of some of Asuna's tools, they didn't have to worry about being followed during their retreat. After completing the mission, they could just return to the mansion quickly.

As for whether this would cause Night Raid to attract more hatred and suffer more firepower attacks...

Isn’t it enough if you’re not dead?

Wait until they get hurt, then send people to rescue them, let them do you a favor, then improve their favorability by telling them about the incompetence and corruption of the rebels, and then let them follow you to create a new empire centered on the people.

Look, isn't this perfect?

Even if he couldn't convince them, with their strength, they couldn't escape from his mansion.

Relying on his own military advantage, he escorted them to the North and let them see the truth, goodness and beauty of the "new world" with their own eyes. I believe that given their original intention of joining the night raid, they will surely decisively abandon darkness and join his team to contribute their own strength to overthrowing the empire.

"Yes."

Kayaba Akihabara nodded.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Let's go and see Esdeath with our own eyes during the court meeting tomorrow."

Asuna leaned back on the sofa, and her not-so-loose clothes outlined an alluring curve.

It's a pity that this curve has no appeal to anyone present.

"I hope that guy's character is not worse than the legend says. Otherwise, it's better to deal with this dangerous guy as soon as possible."

Asuna covered her cold mask with her hands and muttered to herself.

She didn't notice that as she finished speaking, Kayaba Jingyan looked at her with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"I hope that after returning, the impact Asuna has suffered in this world will be alleviated a little bit..."

Kayaba Akigao can be said to be the only one who witnessed Asuna's transformation from an ordinary rich girl to a leader.

Before she fully understood Asuna's situation, in Kayaba Akihabara's eyes, Asuna was just an ordinary girl with mysterious powers.

Although she possessed the ability to travel to other worlds and other secrets, Asuna at that time was no different from everyone else.

If there were no other external factors affecting her, she should be able to grow up happily even with such a secret.

However, as the two of them stayed in this world for longer and longer, almost reaching ten years, the impact on Asuna could already be clearly felt.

Even Izayoi, a girl with some problems in her brain, was vaguely aware of this.

She tilted her head slightly and gave Asuna a surprised look.

"Masamune's tone is so cold. When was the last time she spoke like this?"

"It seems like a long time ago... a year? Or was it three years? Ah, I forgot."

Izayoi frowned in distress, but didn't think too much about it. After all, she wasn't the one who had been with Asuna from the beginning.

Kayaba Akigao was unsure whether Asuna would be able to adjust her mentality to the way it was before after returning to the world that belonged to them, or whether she would still remember what she looked like before...

Review and update in spare time

I am in the process of reviewing for the exam, so I really don't feel like updating. Besides, my computer is not at school, and I still need my phone to use the courseware, so I am too lazy to write.

I'll update when I have time.

You thought I was done, but I was just bored!

Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo.

87 Your Majesty, I will...

Early the next morning.

When all the officials of the empire gathered together, Asuna did not find the figure of the general named Esdeath among them.

Asuna looked around as if to confirm, and frowned slightly under her mask: "Not here? Or hasn't arrived yet?"

The factions in the court are very obvious.

Minister Ernest's faction had the largest number of officials, almost two-thirds of the empire's senior officials.

They gathered together, quietly, without making any sound, only occasionally casting "concerned" glances at the smaller number of officials on the other side.

That expression, that demeanor, if you didn't know, you would think their relationship was very close, almost like close friends.

If General Budd had not protected them, Minister Honest might not have had to take action, as his "little brothers" would have spontaneously dealt with their "competitors."

After all, in their view, those stubborn "old fogies" are the stumbling blocks that hinder their path to wealth.

These "old stubborn people" didn't pay any attention to those several obscure and "kind" glances.

As the few loyal subjects of the empire, they have already understood one thing in the past few years, that is, they must preserve their own manpower!

Only in this way, under the "protection" of General Bud, can they block and interfere with the actions of the ministers and their factions accordingly, so as to reduce the persecution of more people of the empire.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have much effect.

Their hands are not enough to protect the people in the imperial capital, let alone this vast empire.

Therefore, when faced with provocations from the ministers' followers, they have long been accustomed to ignoring them.

Otherwise, if they made a little noise, they would be accused of disturbing the order of the court. And the little emperor obeyed Ernest's orders, so how could he listen to their advice?

As for General Bud?

I'm sorry, you did disturb the court, and this is the emperor's order, please accept your fate.

In this way, the official who had quarreled with the minister's subordinates lost his life so frivolously, while the minister's subordinates who had quarreled with him were still alive and well.

Until now, that guy is still looking at them with an extremely "passionate" look.

Asuna didn't have the heart to pay attention to the struggle between the two factions for the time being. After all, they had been fighting for so many years and no one had been able to completely defeat the other. So she just let them fight for a while.

Anyway, there are only himself and Kayaba in his faction, so there is no need to worry about his younger brothers being ambushed and attacked by others. He can just watch the show peacefully.

However, Asuna couldn't help but speculate in her heart about this fourth faction that was supposed to appear here but has not yet appeared.

"What on earth was the content of Esdeath's conversation with the little emperor... no, Onesta yesterday that made her not even attend the court meeting..."

"I heard that the strongest force under her is the imperial weapon user team called "Three Beast Warriors", although some of them had a great reputation before...

However, relying solely on his strength, he is still unable to play a decisive role in a team.

Moreover, a team of only three people is too small if they want to deal with a night attack, and they must recruit more talents to join.

And the imperial capital... is not short of imperial tool users..."

"Mask."

"After all, our foundation in the imperial capital is too shallow. There is no point in dragging it on like this."

"Masked General?"

Asuna's slender fingers trembled slightly, and she thought to herself, "Minister Ernest, General Budd, the little emperor, and Esdeath.

Those who control government affairs, the empire's orthodoxy, those who protect the royal family, and the final uncertain factors, are all gathered in the imperial capital at this moment. The garrisons of the major cities in the empire have already been deployed by my men, and the rebels are nothing to worry about..."

"Hmm? Wait, was someone calling me just now?"

Asuna, who was distracted, subconsciously looked up and saw the helpless expression on the little emperor's face.

As for Onesta's face, which was slightly distorted as he tried to chew the food?

Sorry, Asuna chose to subconsciously ignore him.

"What are you thinking about, Mask? You're so absorbed in thought. This is not like you."
