Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

……

Sitting inside the carriage, outside the curtains were bustling streets.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of pineapples sold on the street, and the sounds of wheels rolling on the stone pavement and various vendors' shouts filled the air.

"So, what's the name of the person I'm going to see?" Lu Ye asked the "slender" man in front of her.

“Watch your words, lad,” the purple-haired man said. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Thorn, and I work for Minister Ernest.”

"Ernest...!"

Lu Ye was stunned, not expecting it to be him.

What I heard from the night raid team was the culprit behind the corruption that had plunged the country into chaos.

“To be frank, the minister has taken a liking to your abilities,” Thorn said. “The founding emperor created a total of forty-eight Imperial Arms, and those who can use these weapons are one in ten thousand. Your ability to kill the decapitated Zank proves that you are also a user of an Imperial Arm.”

"……Yes."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ye gave his answer.

He roughly guessed the minister's intentions.

On the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to control himself and make himself work for him.

On the other hand, Ernest probably wants to retrieve the Imperial Arms that beheaded Zank.

After all, each Imperial Arms is extremely powerful. Zank stole the Warden's Imperial Arms before, and now that the Warden is dead, it is natural to hurry up and get it back.

But returning it is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime.

Because Najenda has taken that eye-shaped Imperial Arm, supposedly to find someone in the Revolutionary Army who can use it.

"Heh, you should thank that minister properly. Oja concealed the fact that you possess Imperial Arms from you, otherwise your status would be even higher than it is now. But don't worry, once you meet that lord, your life will only get better and better."

"Thank you for your advice. When I meet the minister later, what should I say to him?"

“It’s not about conversation,” Thorn smiled, “but about obedience. No matter what that person says, you just need to obey. Trust me, it’s the best choice for you.”

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the palace gate.

After undergoing numerous checks, Ji entered the magnificent main gate of the palace with his pass.

However, just as Lu Ye was about to follow, Ji called out to him.

"and many more."

Is there a problem?

"No one may enter the palace with weapons."

"I have already handed over my sword."

"What about the Imperial Arms?" Thorn smiled sinisterly.

Lu Ye took a deep breath.

The truth has been revealed.

He had been wondering when Thorn, that strange-looking guy, would finally ask about the Imperial Arms.

I didn't expect to be waiting here.

“If you’re a Teigu user, you can keep your Teigu with you at all times,” Thorn chuckled. “But I need to know its abilities and understand that this is a necessary measure to protect the safety of the Imperial Palace.”

Without hesitation, Lu Ye took out an exquisite longsword from his storage space.

"This is my Imperial Arm. It can hide itself, and anyone struck by it will suffer from an incurable disease and die a painful death within three days, with no way to save them," Lu Ye said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

This knife is a decorative item displayed in Oja's mansion.

That night, while cleaning up the mess, Lu Ye secretly took it when Seryu wasn't looking.

There's no other reason, Lu Ye just felt... why not take it if it's free, since Ou Jia can't see these exquisite things anyway.

Rather than letting it be divided up, it's better to keep it; it might come in handy someday.

And that's where its use comes in, isn't it?

Because it was an ornament, the blade of this sword was exquisitely carved. Combined with Lu Ye's storage space ability, it was easy for Ji to believe it. After all, there are some Imperial Arms that have been lost for a long time and are not even recorded.

As for its abilities, that's pure fabrication by Lu Ye; it's more or less a copy-paste of Akame's Teigu—Muramasa.

"Hmm, not bad. No wonder you were able to kill Zank."

Ji glanced at Lu Ye's knife, smiled, and led Lu Ye into the palace.

The Imperial Palace.

Everywhere you look, there are magnificent buildings, as dazzling as jewels.

These buildings are several hundred years old, but they are well maintained and have no structural defects.

The palace must be at least a size larger than the commercial center of the capital.

This reminded Lu Ye of the Fountainhead Palace.

Although both are royal palaces, they are both magnificent.

But the beauty of Fountainhead Palace is a beauty of decay.

But this palace is entirely built on money and manpower, its splendor a testament to its grandeur, with towering pagodas resembling a forest of granite.

In a secluded part of the palace, in a building that looked small but was quite exquisite.

The sound of rushing water came from inside the bedroom on the third floor.

Someone is taking a shower in the bathroom.

After about 15 minutes, the sound of flowing water stopped.

A minute later, the sound of fabric rustling came from the bathroom, probably someone changing clothes.

Then,

"—Click."

The bathroom door opened, and a cloud of steam rushed out, followed by the appearance of a tall figure.

Her long, gorgeous, wet, silver-blue hair exuded a faint fragrance, and water droplets clung to her long, curled eyelashes. With each blink, her deep, icy-blue eyes seemed to radiate a chilling aura, capable of captivating the soul.

Her exquisite and perfect features are as if they were sculpted by a peerless master, and her crystal-clear, snow-white skin is so delicate it seems to break at a touch.

Esdeath was wearing only a very loose white shirt.

But even so, it couldn't hide her stunning figure.

"Phew, I feel so much refreshed after the shower."

As she spoke, Esdeath went to the windowsill, looking at the scenery outside, but her heart was restless.

Again.

This feeling.

Could it be that, as the minister said, a woman's biological instincts awaken as she reaches a certain age?

"The urge to reproduce?"

"Heh, this is quite a troublesome thing. Oh well, it's still early, I'll go take a stroll in the garden later and see how my new variety is growing."

……

As Lu Ye followed Thorn along the road, he saw guards on high alert patrolling with the tireless efficiency of machines.

They can be found on every main road, every path, and even in the woods used for sightseeing.

Akame was right; infiltrating this place would be extremely difficult.

If the security level is this high during the day, what will it be like at night?

After some twists and turns, the two finally arrived at their destination.

It was a magnificent building, resembling a church.

Ji stopped at the door.

"The minister is inside, please go in."

"Aren't you coming along?" Lu Ye asked.

Thorn shook his head: "No, I'll wait for you here after it's all over. Remember what I said, just obey."

Lu Ye glanced at him, said nothing, and pushed open the exquisitely carved door.

Underfoot was a long red carpet, with rows of benches on both sides. At the end of the red carpet was a statue of an angel, and below the statue was a long table laden with various delicacies, wines and fruits.

A huge, white-bearded man, whose clothes couldn't even contain his belly fat, was holding a tray in one hand and picking up a piece of bloody raw meat from it with the other. He put half of it into his mouth, trying to tear the muscle fibers apart with his teeth.

It looks like this used to be a church, with benches on either side of the carpet used by believers for prayer.

But now there is no longer any faith in this palace, because Ernest doesn't need it.

So the church also became his dining hall.

Lu Ye silently took out the heart rate monitor and put it on his chest.

Upon reaching the bottom of the steps, Lu Ye knelt on one knee, following the etiquette of the capital, and gently placed his right hand on his left chest.

"This humble man, Lu Ye, greets Minister Ernest."

"Oh, you're... the guard who killed Zank?"

Ernest smacked his lips and looked over, his mouth and beard covered in blood.

Upon seeing his face, Lu Ye had a feeling that this guy's physique didn't resemble that of a lazy pig, but rather more like a bear or a hippopotamus.

But at the same time, Lu Ye was also convinced that this Ernest had no real strength.

That might not be entirely accurate; it should be said that it did not exceed one's own capabilities.

If a fight broke out, Lu Ye was confident that he could take down this fat, fleshy guy within five moves.

"Yes."

Lu Ye lowered his head and looked at the heart monitor on his chest.

He then abandoned his plan to assassinate the minister.
