"Besides that, is there anything else you want?"

"Your Majesty, there's no need to rush to bestow a reward."

Standing in the center of the hall, Esdeath replied.

"In fact, there are some things I did not make clear in the letter regarding the annihilation of the northern barbarians."

"I was not the one who did this."

"If you're going to give a reward, it's better to give it to the right person."

"It wasn't General Esdeath who did it?"

The young emperor was stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond, and subconsciously glanced at the minister Ernest beside him.

"Ahem~ Since we're going to bestow a reward, we should naturally give it to the right person."

Ernest naturally chimed in, "Judging from General Esdeath's tone, you seem to know the person who did this."

"Can you tell me who the other person is?"

"I have already brought the other party."

Esdeath replied, seemingly ignoring the question, "If you wish to see him, Minister, you might as well let him in."

"You've already brought it?"

Ernest glanced silently at Sheila standing behind him, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, his fat body swaying violently.

"Hahaha! This is a pillar of the empire!"

"Since you've already brought it, of course we should meet!"

"Someone! Go and bring General Esdeath here..."

"No need to invite me, I'm already here."

Before Ernest could finish speaking, several figures had already leisurely walked in through the main entrance.

"Looks like I arrived just in time, I'm not late."

"You are...King...Nageshitan? Akame?!"

Seeing the group of people walk in, Ernest, who was halfway through his sentence, subconsciously looked past Lin Que and towards Najenda and Akame following behind him.

He knew these two people very well; one was a former general of the Empire, and the other was a former ace assassin of the Empire.

Especially Akame, who noticed the Murasame sword on the other party's body, even the highly skilled and daring Ernest couldn't help but be startled.

He took two steps back without making a sound and looked at Esdeath standing in the center of the hall.

"General Esdeath, what's going on?"

"Why did the person you introduced suddenly barge in with someone who betrayed the empire?"

Esdeath glanced at Lin Que silently, then replied truthfully, "I don't know."

Ernest: "???"

......

ECHO is off.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: I Want to Be Emperor, Is That Allowed? ( )

"You do not know?"

Ernest's eye twitched as he looked at Esdeath, who didn't seem to be joking.

"Why don't you know anything about the situation with the people you brought?"

"Because we broke up halfway through."

Esdeath replied, "Lin Que said he has something to do and has to leave for a while. We'll meet at the palace later."

Don't talk about the palace as if it were your own home!

Ernest, feeling his blood pressure rise, took a deep breath and finally looked at Lin Que.

"You want to ask me why I brought a traitor here?"

"...That's right."

After a slight pause, Ernest, who had been asked the question first, spoke up.

“Since he was introduced by General Esdeath, I naturally trust him.”

"But no matter what, two of the people behind you betrayed the empire."

"If this isn't explained clearly, His Majesty won't be able to explain it to others."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Ernest's suggestion, the young emperor quickly spoke up.

"This is Lin Que, right? Can you give me a reason why you're with those two people?"

Lin Que thought for a moment: "As for the reason... do they count as my newly recruited subordinates?"

The young emperor was stunned: "This..."

“I know 380 is hard for you to accept.”

Lin Que spread his hands: "But Your Majesty, you can rest assured, I guarantee they will not betray us again."

"How about we ignore this for now, for my sake?"

"Nonsense!"

Before the young emperor could reply, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a tall figure crackling with electric arcs emerged from behind the young emperor; it was none other than General Bude, one of the empire's two pillars.

Those who betray the empire must be severely punished no matter what!

"Hand them over! Otherwise..."

Before Bud could finish speaking, a hand suddenly appeared above his head and pressed down sharply.

boom--!

"To be honest, I hate people who can't read the room when they speak."

Grabbing Bud's hair, Lin Que lifted him up and shook him casually.

"I was actually quite excited and was thinking of playing house with you guys for a while."

"My interest has vanished because of your interruption."

General Bud opened his mouth: "You..."

"Forget it, let's just do it."

Pfft~!

A stream of bright red blood gushed from his neck, and General Bud's body collapsed to the ground.

After discarding Bud's head, Lin Que looked at the ministers above and Sheila behind him.

The instant he killed General Bud, Sheila had already pulled the Shangri-La from his bosom.

A teleportation array with a Bagua pattern appeared beneath their feet, radiating a dazzling light.

But before the teleportation could be activated, the teleportation array with the Bagua pattern suddenly disappeared, leaving the minister, who had been showing signs of relief, stunned and frozen in place.

"What are you doing!"

Once he realized what was happening, he immediately grabbed Sheila by the collar.

"Do you want to die?! Teleport now!"

"Don't make things difficult for him."

Standing behind Ernest, Lin Que looked at the Shangri-La in his hand as he replied.

"Without the Imperial Arms, even if he sacrificed himself to the heavens, he still wouldn't be able to teleport you away."

Ernest: "..."

After Lin Que's reminder, Ernest finally noticed that the Imperial Arm in Sheila's hand had somehow appeared in Lin Que's hand.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged into his heart.

That's it, there's no escaping it now.

"They can't escape?"

Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "Minister Ernest, do you and your son Sheila want to go for a run?"

"No."

Ernest was surprised that Lin Que knew what he was thinking and quickly spoke up.

What I actually meant was...

"Well, no need to explain, I understand." jb
