Aria felt something was very wrong. Today was clearly a good day. She had originally intended to have a few guards catch some more commoners to torture, just to have a good time.
But why? Why would those guys from Night Raid come knocking?
They hadn't done anything wrong, right? Didn't that group of assassins only target people who had committed heinous crimes? Why would they come after them?
They only caught a few commoners to torture for entertainment. Could there be anything wrong with that?
Those commoners were just like livestock; it was their freedom to dispose of them however they pleased!
Night Raid!
A crazy smile appeared on Aria's face. She would definitely take revenge later. She would find those captains of the Soldier units in the capital and use her body as a trade; surely that would make them go and wipe out those guys!
Then, she would have them hand over the people from Night Raid to her, so she could torture them and get her revenge.
"Heh... hehe... hahahaha!" Aria seemed to see that scene and couldn't help but laugh.
"Miss, hurry and run!" At this moment, the guard saw the assassins behind catching up and couldn't help but say.
"Ah!!" Aria, who was lost in beautiful fantasies, seemed to glitch. Her smile stopped, replaced by sheer terror. She abandoned the few guards and ran toward that house, as if there was something inside that could save her life.
Then, Aria saw the door of that house open.
"Huh?" Aria widened her eyes, looking at the boy coming out from inside who was dressed in very old-fashioned clothes.
"Who are you?" Aria couldn't help but ask. Seeing the boy's cold eyes, she stepped back a few paces.
"You must be the daughter of this family." Tatsumi saw Aria and gripped his sword hilt.
"I..." Aria stepped back a few more paces, looking at Tatsumi and his face, which was filled with man-eating rage, and suddenly felt something was very wrong.
Tatsumi took a deep breath, his hand gripping the sword hilt tighter and tighter. Recalling what he had just seen, he gritted his teeth, his eyes focused to the limit at this moment.
"You... a person like you, why should you still be left alive!!"
Tatsumi roared and charged forward, drawing his sword. In one stroke, he struck Aria, who seemed to want to say something, without the slightest hesitation.
The sword wound was deep. Within a few seconds, Aria's eyes dilated, and all color in them vanished.
"Hmph~" Kaede, who followed out behind, was also stunned for a moment seeing this scene, then she smiled. She suddenly felt that this time, she seemed to have found a treasure.
However, the next moment, Kaede could no longer smile because she saw the assassin coming out from there.
Although Kaede knew that after returning to the capital, she would definitely see her, Kaede didn't expect to run into her so quickly...
Her younger sister, Akame!
Akame also saw Kaede at this moment and was equally stunned. Although she had heard from Leone that her older sister had returned to the capital, she hadn't expected them to meet so quickly.
"Huh?" At this moment, Tatsumi saw this scene and was also stunned. Who was in front? Tatsumi looked at Kaede behind him and was completely dumbfounded. It seemed he felt something, so he retreated behind Kaede.
"It looks like you're doing quite well, Akame." Finally, Kaede was the first to speak. As she spoke, she couldn't help but show a hint of gentleness on her face. How could she blame her own younger sister?
"Mhm, sister..." Akame looked at the gentleness on Kaede's face, her eyes flickering. Akame also knew that the person she felt most sorry for was perhaps the sister right in front of her...
"Can you come back? Both I and Kurome miss you very much," Kaede said. As long as Akame could come back, she would take whatever the Minister wanted to do to her. It wouldn't matter if she had to give up her position as General; as long as Akame was willing to return, she would definitely not let any harm come to her younger sister!
Silence spread between them.
Tatsumi also felt something was wrong at this moment and remembered Kaede's words. Originally, this place was supposed to be left to him, and then there was this conversation...
Tatsumi sensed that this pair of sisters in front of him seemed not to be from the same camp.
At this time, Leone also felt something was wrong. With Akame's strength, how could it take so long? Coming over to look, she also saw this scene. Suddenly, Leone was shocked and went to Akame's side.
"Ah! It's that Big Sister?" Tatsumi said from the side.
"..." Kaede looked at Akame, then saw Leone seemingly wanting to pat Akame. Immediately, Kaede no longer restrained the killing intent on her body, and it erupted toward Leone, covering everything.
"I am talking to my sister, you! Don't interrupt!" Kaede stood there; at this moment, it was as if a demon god stood there.
Even Tatsumi on the side couldn't help but tremble. Although he was not the target of this killing intent, the constant, chilling sensation made him unable to stop trembling.
At this moment, in the eyes with which Tatsumi looked at Kaede, the reverence that should be there finally appeared—reverence for the strong!
"Ugh!!" Caught in the target of this killing intent, Leone immediately transformed into her lion state. Even so, the constant sense of danger made all the hair on her body stand up. She gritted her teeth desperately, resisting this killing intent that was insanely strong.
Akame also reacted at this moment and blocked in front of Leone.
Immediately, the aura on Kaede's body receded because Kaede knew the answer. From Akame's actions, she knew Akame's choice.
"Is that so... This is your answer." Kaede's eyes dimmed a little, then she turned around and said, "Then, go. It's best... not to appear in front of me again."
After speaking, Kaede's figure slowly walked into the darkness. Tatsumi silently looked at Akame over there. Although they looked exactly like Kaede, Tatsumi felt that they seemed to be fundamentally different in some way, to the point where one could tell the difference at a glance.
Then, Tatsumi followed behind Kaede without saying anything. Apparently, he also understood that Kaede's mood couldn't be good at this time.
"Sister..." Akame's eyes also dimmed.
Leone, on the side, didn't know what to say. If Kaede had acted here, judging by the aura just now, both of them would likely have met their ends here. They were simply not on the same level.
However, Kaede did not act, and Leone even heard a trace of helplessness and doting for Akame in her voice.
What should she say? Should she advise Akame not to be deceived? At least, Leone couldn't do that.
"I... I'm fine. Just let me be by myself for a while." Akame didn't say much more, kept her head down, and walked toward where they had come from.
"Sigh! The imperial rakshasa."
At this moment, Leone also clearly realized the gap between them, and a grave look appeared in her eyes. Truly worthy of being the empires strongest!
And with the legendary Esdeath and Budo, for the first time, Leone began to worry about the fate of the Revolutionary Army.
