Even the minister's private executioner has no choice but to bow down and submit before Esdeath?
Seeing Thorn sweating profusely from the pain, Esdeath finally nodded after a long while.
"Get lost."
"I'm sorry, General Esdeath."
Thorn picked up his severed arm and turned to leave.
He felt he had suffered a great loss today.
The most secluded place within the palace is not the emperor's bedroom, but Esdeath's house.
She originally intended to teach Lu Ye a lesson while she was out today and make him hand over his Imperial Arms, but unexpectedly she lost an arm instead.
But that's alright.
Aside from a brief period of pain, the arm can be reattached.
Moreover, these injuries are nothing. His body has been modified, and the bleeding from the wounds can be stopped quickly, so he will not die from excessive bleeding.
Hmph, as expected of General Esdeath... Her ruthlessness is precisely her strength.
Just as Ji was thinking this, he suddenly stumbled.
Just as his face was about to make intimate contact with the ground, Lu Ye opened his eyes wide.
Thorn's figure instantly lengthened, even his arms stretched out like rubber, his back arched two meters high, his body was as elastic as a rubber band, and his whole body was like a fully drawn bow.
At the critical moment, he braced himself and avoided falling flat on his face.
On his calf, there was a thick ice pick that had completely pierced through the muscle and bone, going right through.
—This calf is practically useless now.
“General Esdeath… what… what does this mean?” Thorn turned around, trying to force a smile.
"It seems you've been a dog under the minister's nose for too long and can no longer understand human speech?" Esdeath's gaze was cold. "I said you should leave your arm behind. Who gave you permission to take it?"
Ji's smile was more like a grimace.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that this woman was indeed very meticulous.
He had originally planned to kill the four Rakshasa demons to earn points.
With her around, it probably won't be long before these four demonic beings are gone.
Not only were the people gone, but their bodies weren't even intact.
In this light, I, Lu Ye, am more merciful. At least in the plan, I intended to leave these four Rakshasa demons with intact corpses.
Under Esdeath's oppressive aura, Thorn slowly placed his severed arm on the ground.
"Get lost."
After receiving the order, Thorn clutched his severed arm and limped outside.
Lu Ye didn't hesitate and immediately followed.
He doesn't want to stay here at all right now.
Is this the strongest Esdeath in the Imperial Capital?
Let's just change the name to "Esdeath, the Most Torturous Person in the Imperial Capital".
He was still confident he could beat Thorn.
But Esdeath...
They'd probably be frozen into ice sculptures the moment they made a move, right?
In any case, staying here is not a good option, unless you also want to keep an arm.
But things never go as planned.
"Stop right there! Who said you could leave?"
A clear, crisp voice, like that of honeysuckle, rang out from behind.
Lu Ye and Ji turned around at the same time.
Upon realizing that it wasn't him being called, the pale-faced Thorn visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Heh, good luck to you. As for the Imperial Arms, I'll settle the score with you when you get back!"
“You’ve already lost an arm and a leg, you’re disabled,” Lu Ye said mockingly in a low voice. “Someone like you could be beaten up by an old lady selling pancakes on the street. Do you think you can be an executioner? Are you sure the minister won’t kick you?”
Ji was stunned on the spot, and then the veins on his forehead bulged.
Seeing his appearance, Lu Ye added insult to injury.
"Haha, the way you look when you're angry is just like a stray dog that's been beaten and crippled for stealing food."
After saying this, before Thorn could speak, Lu Ye took a step forward and walked towards Esdeath.
Since we can't avoid it anyway, we might as well face it.
After all, he was now Ernest's subordinate and the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison.
The worst-case scenario is that I have to fight this woman.
But Esdeath didn't speak; instead, she carefully examined Lu Ye with her icy blue eyes.
Hmph, you're dead!
This was the only thought in Ji's mind at that moment.
He was all too familiar with that look.
That look, as if scrutinizing prey, is something only a top predator possesses.
The so-called "examining closely" is actually a matter of scrutinizing.
Once the decision is made to strike, the prey is doomed.
Lu Ye was also a little nervous.
In fact, he had already mentally prepared himself for the brutal order to "leave me a leg".
But Esdeath simply stood in front of him, without saying a word.
This made him waver.
This feeling is similar to when you make a mistake at school and are about to stubbornly insist, "It was me who did it, so what? I'll take it whether it's cleaning the toilets or writing a self-criticism."
But your homeroom teacher neither scolded you nor made you clean the toilets or write a self-criticism.
He just kept a long face and didn't say a word.
But Lu Ye knew that this was usually a prelude to something big—calling the parents.
Although Esdeath didn't have a sullen face, her expression was very cold.
But the aura he exudes is comparable to that of your high school homeroom teacher and grade head standing outside the window watching you play on your phone during class.
I really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Although his inner thoughts were as volatile as the Pacific Ring of Fire, Lu Ye still tried his best to remain calm on the outside.
He stared directly into Esdeath's eyes and felt that they were like living sapphires.
After observing Lu Ye for a full minute, Esdeath's lips parted slightly.
At that moment, Lu Ye felt that he had misjudged the situation.
He seemed to see Esdeath's lips gently bounce as they parted, with a jelly-like texture.
For some reason, Lu Ye thought of the fact that both he and Violet loved eating jelly.
When Violet is staying home and playing, of all the snacks she buys, her favorites are jelly and pudding.
Lu Ye did ask Violet why she liked eating jelly so much.
According to Violet, she likes jelly because it's slippery, bouncy, and sweet.
Lu Ye remembered that Violet had just finished eating jelly when she was talking about something, and there was still some jelly residue on her lips, making them shiny.
So he couldn't resist going over and eating Violet's "jelly" on the sofa.
That happened more than ten days ago.
I don't know... never mind, it's better not to know.
"He's actually taller than me... Unforgivable."
Esdeath's tone was somewhat unhappy and resentful.
Lu Ye's mind went blank for a few seconds.
ha?
Did I hear that right?
Even the thorns that had perked up their ears in the distance were stunned.
I lost an arm, and you're talking about how that kid is taller than you?
I'm tall too! I can stretch my body up to ten meters! Why should I be the one to have my hand cut off?
But then Ji thought about it again.
His master, Ernest, had once executed a servant for stepping through the door with his left foot first.
Esdeath might use a similar reason to kill Lu Ye, after all, she's a ruthless woman.
Although Lu Ye is now the master's subordinate, if he dies at Esdeath's hands, it's not my fault.
As long as I can bring back the Imperial Arms that Lu Ye possesses, then I'll be in a safe position.
"No... the general is about the same height as me?"
“Is that so?” Esdeath stared at Lu Ye’s face, then pinched his chin. “I think I’m already wearing high-heeled military boots, and I’m still a cut above you.”
"N-nothing like that..."
Esdeath grabbed Lu Ye by the collar.
"Come on, come to my room. I want to hear what happened."
