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

The corner of Tatsumi's mouth twitched, but that seemed to be the fact.

Can I really give up my beliefs and be with Esdeath?

No!

So there will definitely be a fight between the two of them in the future.

From now on, just as Kayaba Jingyan said, I just need to become stronger.

Strong enough to withstand Esdeath's wrath and survive.

"As for other matters, you can make your own judgment. After all, we can't keep in touch with you all the time."

"Besides, even if Esdeath really attacks you, I'm sure she won't kill you. At least it's good enough to be alive."

Tatsumi: “…”

It turns out that all you ask of me is to stay alive...

Tatsumi smiled bitterly in his heart, but when he thought that they had already started to attack the minister, then... Tatsumi's expression gradually became serious.

"The war is about to begin." He said with certainty.

"That's right." Kayaba Jingyan nodded, "Your companions hurried back because of this."

"And you... although you have never been to the headquarters of the anti-revolutionary army, as long as Esdeath takes you to the battlefield, you can always find a chance to slip away from her and return to your companions."

"So, do you have any other questions?"

Finally, Kayaba Akihabara asked.

"No, thank you very much for your help these days." Tatsumi nodded heavily and expressed his gratitude.

"By the way, Esdeath seemed to have discovered you just now. Are you not hurt?"

Kayaba Akigao said: "No, I was no longer in that position before she made her move."

"That's good……"

"Well, I'm leaving now. Go wash up quickly and don't keep Esdeath waiting."

"Okay, goodbye." Although he didn't know where Kayaba Akihabara was, Tatsumi still waved his hand, regardless of whether Kayaba Akihabara was still there or not.

There was no response to his farewell, so Tatsumi took a deep breath, then dived into the water and quickly washed his body.

After a while, he got dressed and went to the restaurant to have dinner with Esdeath.

Looking at the rich and luxurious dishes in front of him, Tatsumi couldn't help but think of his fellow villagers who came out with him.

"I don't know how Sayou and Iyeas are doing now... But since they are now working with the masked general, I guess they won't suffer too much..."

……

"Ah!"

Sau, who was taking care of Izayoi and hadn't had time to eat yet, sneezed suddenly.

She rubbed her nose. She didn't know why, but she always felt that someone was saying bad things about her...

……

On the martial arts training ground.

"Ah!"

Iyeas, who was working overtime for special training, suddenly sneezed for some reason!

"Ha! A flaw!"

The masked guard who was fighting with him suddenly brightened up his eyes, laughed loudly, and then punched Iyeas in the face.

boom!

“Ah ...

There was a sudden sound of someone falling to the ground, followed by Iyeas’ miserable cry of pain.

"Boy, you dare to sneeze during a battle, get up, practice for another half an hour before going to eat!"

"Eh?!!! The British country!!!"

……

Tatsumi didn't know that his two good friends sneezed because of what he said from his heart.

Shayou is fine, basically nothing serious.

As for Iyeas, he cried out in misfortune and was pulled up for a special training, which was really miserable.

If Iyeas knew that his sneeze was caused by Tatsumi, he might just go up and fight with him to vent his hatred!

……

……

Snapped……

The barbecue, carefully prepared by the imperial chef, fell from the greasy big hand and hit the plate in front of him.

"Ho ho..."

The throat seemed to be blocked by something. The mouth that could easily tear off all kinds of meat was now unable to open and close. Even breathing became a little difficult.

"grown ups?"

It seemed like someone was calling him, but he couldn't hear clearly.

His hands kept shaking, and then the shaking began to spread to his whole body, so that even the flesh on his face began to tremble.

"My Lord?! What's wrong with you, my Lord?!"

My vision is blurry, huh? When did the world turn red...

He wondered, and the consciousness in his mind became deeper and deeper.

He didn't realize that he could no longer breathe, and that his body and five senses were completely out of his control.

The world before my eyes is becoming increasingly darker...

"Bang!"

He seemed to have lost consciousness, his whole body lying on the table, his cheek pressed tightly against his once favorite steak, but the next moment he was helped up by the terrified servants and lay flat on the ground.

However, at this moment, his breathing had already stopped...

Time, less than twenty seconds...

109 Your Majesty, something terrible has happened

"Hurry... hurry and report to His Majesty and General Budd that Lord Ernest was murdered at home!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!"

“Inform the guards to seal off the mansion and not allow anyone to enter or leave!

Search for all possible clues and wait for General Budd to arrive before making a decision!"

"Yes!!!"

"Keep an eye on those cooks! Don't let them step out of the kitchen!"

"Yes!!!"

"besides……"

Messages came out from the housekeeper of the mansion one after another.

The originally chaotic situation was stabilized.

But he knew that this was just on the surface.

He knew that not only himself, but all the servants who witnessed the death of their master were filled with fear and anxiety in their hearts.

"It's over..."

After finishing all the instructions, the butler realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he was no longer in the mood to change clothes.

Looking at Ernest, who was lying in front of him and had lost all vital signs, the butler's mouth twitched violently, as if he was about to cry.

As Ernest's butler, he has been involved in countless things and committed countless sins over the years.

In the past, when Ernest was alive, naturally no one dared to attack him.

But now... he is dead, died inexplicably...

He knew that he had to find a new buyer as soon as possible, and that buyer had to be one that could withstand attacks from all sides!

In the past few years, he had offended quite a few people in order to help Ernest...

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How could you die like this!"

The butler's face became ferocious because of anger. He growled with gritted teeth, and his angry words were filled with inner fear.

"You useless bastard! I have long advised you to strengthen the control of the mansion and offend fewer people. You, you, why did you die like this!!!"

He wanted to do violence to Ernest's body, but he didn't dare.

After all, Ernest's identity is there!

He died in such an unclear manner that an autopsy will definitely be performed later. The butler does not want to go to jail for beating Ernest's corpse because of his momentary impulse.

Fortunately, the servants in this room have now been dismissed by him.

Otherwise, if his current appearance was seen by others, he might be blamed for murdering the minister.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

He took a few deep breaths, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the room with a gloomy face.

"Watch this place!"

He called several guards and asked them to guard here and not let anyone enter.

He himself hurried to the door of the mansion, anxiously waiting for the figure of Bud or the little emperor.

The empire was so large, but there were only a few people who could protect Ernest after his death.

The little emperor controlled by Ernest is one of them, and also the simplest one!

The butler believed that if no one came out to cause trouble, he would be very likely to get the protection of the little emperor!

Apart from that, Bud and Esdeath were his second choices.

However, he did not have much confidence in these two people. After all, having one more person seemed to be completely useless to them, which was also a little unacceptable to the butler.

After all, if you can't demonstrate your abilities, then aren't you just eating and drinking for free?

Will people respect you?

The last choice is Asuna.

Over the years, the butler has always been Ernest's confidant and knows many of his secrets.

Although Asuna doesn't get along with her former master, if she introduces me to him in exchange for these secrets... I should be able to survive in her hands, right?

The butler was no longer sure, because he knew that Asuna would most likely not let him go.

So she was his last choice, and only when he had no other choice would the housekeeper go back and choose to rely on her.

As for now?

That depends on whether the little emperor is willing to have himself as his servant.

If he doesn't want to, then he can only seek refuge from Bud or Esdeath.

"Don't go to the last option..."

The housekeeper was walking around anxiously.

……

……

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"
