"Minister Ernest...?"

Upon seeing the minister's appearance, the minister's face turned deathly pale.

He knew he was doomed; he knew without even imagining how miserable he would be in the enemy's hands.

Having already staked everything on the struggle for the throne among the princes, he already knew what would happen if he failed.

but!

"Ernest!!!"

The Minister of the Guard's expression suddenly turned ferocious. He slammed his foot into the ground and charged towards Minister Ernest like an arrow.

The minister had no guards, only a group of frail civil officials.

If you want to kill the minister, now is a golden opportunity!

"go to hell!!!"

The minister drew his sword and swung it toward Ernest's head.

Just when it seemed like success was about to be achieved, two arms suddenly stretched out from the left and right and blocked the way.

One hand grabbed his neck, while the other grabbed his arm and yanked him sharply.

Hiss!

His arm was actually ripped off.

He stared in disbelief at the two scantily clad men in front of him, and behind them were two young girls!

"It's actually... the Four Rakshasa Demons... cough!"

He practically squeezed those words out between his teeth.

The four of them are the current Rakshasa Demons of the Imperial Fist Temple, and also Minister Ernest's private executioners!

"How naive you are, Minister of the Imperial Capital Garrison. But don't worry, leave your beautiful wife to me. I'll take good care of her, every single part of her... Hahahaha."

Ernest laughed loudly, his entire body of fat jiggling with his laughter.

"Ernest!!!"

The minister's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared through clenched teeth, but in the next instant, a large hand pierced through his chest and broke out from behind.

His heart was being held tightly in that hand.

And the owner of this hand was none other than Minister Ernest!

"Go in peace."

puff!

His heart was crushed to pieces with a single hand, and the minister completely lost his life.

The four demons of Rakshasa were responsible for dealing with the remaining corpses, while Minister Ernest casually took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, turning the pure white handkerchief completely crimson.

Then, they walked step by step toward this side.

The young prince seemed somewhat afraid and hid behind Yotsuba Mahiro.

"We meet again."

Ernest's first greeting was not to the young prince, but to Yotsuba Mahiro.

His gaze was fixed directly on Makoto.

Mahiro smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Indeed, this should be our second meeting. The last time was in the torture chamber."

"That's right, that's right. Back then, you were just a soldier training under General Esdeath. I never imagined that you would become the deputy minister of two departments in the blink of an eye. You are truly a young man of great talent."

Faced with Ernest's praise, he did not continue the conversation, but simply gazed at the other person calmly.

His gaze was so calm, as if he were looking at a dead person.

However, Ernest didn't notice anything strange about him, simply thinking he was just a man who didn't like to talk, so he didn't continue the conversation.

Instead, he looked at the young prince standing beside him.

“Your Highness, I have come to fetch you. No, perhaps I should address you as Your Majesty!” Ernest went straight to the young prince and respectfully performed the salute of a subject.

The civil officials following Ernest immediately knelt on one knee and shouted:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!!!"

Their cheers were deafening, as if they were celebrating the birth of a new emperor.

With their support, there was no problem at all that the little prince was actually a princess, and his ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion.

Unfortunately, these people were all Ernest's henchmen.

The struggle for the throne among the princes also came to an end with the passing of many lives, the reshuffling of power at the top, and the arrival of dawn.

-------------------------------------

A country cannot live without a ruler for a day.

The following morning, the new emperor held a grand enthronement ceremony, and from that moment on, the young prince rightfully became the new emperor.

He was also the youngest emperor in the history of the empire.

Just like Emperor Xian of Han, the minister Ernest, who served at one side, had a kind of Dong Zhuo-like beauty.

As for the group that rebelled against Ernest last night.

Although most of them were already dead, their families and associates were arrested and beheaded in front of hundreds of thousands of people at the execution ground in the capital square. Their heads were then displayed on wooden stakes in front of the crowd.

It was like Ernest's warning, telling us what would happen if we dared to defy him.

As the victorious faction, they began distributing the spoils of their victory in the palace early the next morning after their coronation.

"Your Majesty, the empire is now in dire need of rebuilding. With the removal of those traitors and criminals, many positions have become vacant. I think it's time to promote a new generation of people to succeed them," Minister Ernest suggested, tearing at his steak as usual.

General Bude, who was standing to the side with his eyes closed, only made a "hmm" sound and said, "After His Majesty ascends the throne, he will indeed need to recruit some new talents to consolidate the empire."

"Does General Bud have any reliable candidates?"

The young emperor did not ask Ernest first, but instead asked Bud, but Bud shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have an ancestral rule that I cannot interfere in political affairs, so I cannot provide a candidate."

"All right...."

The young emperor looked somewhat disappointed before turning to Ernest, "Then, Minister, what are your candidates?"

“Your Majesty is wise. I do indeed have several candidates, such as the Minister of the Imperial Capital Garrison, who was sentenced to death last night for offending Your Majesty. Now that the position is vacant, I intend to appoint Iokar to fill it!”

“Iocar, isn’t that your relative?”

Bud's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Ernest.

The imposing presence he exuded made Ernest pause in his act of tearing at the steak.

"Haha!! General, you jest. He's just a distant relative of mine, but as the saying goes, one should not avoid recommending relatives for the best. I believe he is capable of taking on the responsibility of the garrison commander!"

Although the garrison was subordinate to the military and under the command of General Bude.

But to completely control the court, Ernest must first devour Bud's power!

Iocar is the first step!

However, the young emperor, who had been listening listlessly to Ernest and the others' conversation, suddenly perked up and refused, saying, "No! I cannot agree!"

Upon hearing this, Bud smiled. It seemed that although His Majesty was young, he was not foolish.

"...Your Majesty, why...why?!"

Ernest was clearly taken aback by the rejection and kept tearing at the piece of meat. He hadn't expected that his first suggestion would be rejected!

"Because I have already promised to give the position of Minister of the Guard to someone else."

Under Ernest's questioning, the somewhat nervous young emperor clenched his scepter slightly.

That scepter was a symbol of the emperor.

It is also one of the only keys besides General Budo that can protect her from activating the Supreme Imperial Arm!

"Hmm, I'm very curious, who could possibly catch His Majesty's eye?"

"It's Yotsuba Dai... Mahiro. He was originally the vice-captain of the Security Force, so it's only natural that he would succeed as the captain. If he becomes the captain of the Security Force, I think the safety of the capital will be well guaranteed."

First, he was captivated by a Rubik's Cube and made a pact with it. Later, he received its protection and remained steadfast in his stance even when facing the former minister.

Unbeknownst to him, Yotsuba Mahiro had already left a deep impression on the young emperor.

However, Ernest breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the name.

He thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be Yotsuba Mahiro. If that person were to become the head of the security force, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Bud was even more satisfied with this decision.

Although he did not participate in court politics, he had heard many rumors, most of which were about Yotsuba Mahiro.

It is said that he is exceptionally capable and beloved by the common people. Moreover, his strength surpasses that of the rookie general Esdeath. With such a person serving as the head of the Imperial Capital Garrison, Bud can rest assured.

However, just as Ernest and Bud were satisfied with this, the young emperor spoke up again:

"Not only should I appoint him as the Minister of the Imperial Capital Garrison, but I also want him to manage the Empire's assassination forces."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Ernest's fat jiggled, and he stared wide-eyed at the young emperor.

"Your Majesty, how can this be?! The head of the assassination squad is still alive!"

"Minister, what's wrong with that?"

With an innocent and naive expression, the young emperor curiously retorted:

"I don't like that ugly bald minister. Besides, Yotsuba Mahiro is very capable, and the strength of the team he trained is obvious to all. Let's demote the original minister to vice minister to assist Yotsuba Mahiro."

In this way, I can say that I have fulfilled my promise to him.

As for the rest, you can decide that. I only have this one suggestion.

In the end, the young emperor waved his hand dismissively.

After all, she had just taken the throne and didn't really have any other candidates in mind.

Upon hearing this, Ernest's heart skipped a beat.

As is widely known, the assassination squad was a department he built up from scratch; it could be considered his private army.

But now, not only is the young emperor involved, but Yotsuba Mahiro has also been appointed as a minister, supposedly as part of an agreement between them.

With his keen sense of smell, Ernest felt that things were a little beyond his expectations.

This seemingly young boy, Yotsuba Mahiro, who controls two departments and divides his power, might not be on Ernest's side!

Should we try again?

Or is it better to just eliminate it once and for all?

A fierce glint flashed in Ernest's eyes as he pondered whether or not to kill Yotsuba Mahiro.

Let's get some good-looking pictures.jpg

P.S.: I was originally planning to take a break today, but after thinking about it, I'll continue updating.

Chapter 139 First Assassination Mission (6K)

"Congratulations, Vice Minister Yotsuba! You've finally achieved your goal of becoming a minister!"

Upon hearing of his promotion, the first person to come and congratulate him was none other than Bill, the former minister and now deputy minister of the Imperial Assassination Force, sporting a bald head and a powerful hairstyle.

However, his expression didn't seem like one of congratulations.

That's to be expected. After all, he was forcibly demoted. It's already a good thing that he wasn't immediately challenged to a fair and open samurai duel.

So he went up to Bill, patted him on the shoulder, and said something heartfelt:

"Bill, old buddy, don't worry about it so much. All this talk about the main and the secondary is just trivial stuff."

"From now on, you'll continue with your enhanced team, and I'll continue with my elite squad. We'll leave each other alone."

"I really regret letting you take over the training of the elite group."

Bill stared intently at him.
