"By the way, Chelsea is still alive too."
"...Really, that's great."
"But she can't come back now because she is doing a task for me."
"Task?"
"Ah. A... task that only she can do and she is very happy to do. When you find out, you will definitely be shocked."
"That's really exciting."
————
This rescue operation allowed Xiaolin to successfully subdue the night attack, and at the same time, he fully told them his plan and how to use Tazmi as bait.
Since the ministers and others wanted to seduce them, Xiao Lin would naturally take advantage of the situation and start a decisive battle.
I've had enough of being the sixth child, and it's time to make my debut.
Return to the hunter station.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Esdeath floating in mid-air, her long silver-white hair fluttering behind her, and tiny ice crystals surrounding her shining brightly. Under the sunlight, she looked like an arrogant and indifferent ice goddess.
"this is……?"
"Xiao Lin, you are back."
Esdeath descended from mid-air after seeing Xiaolin.
"This is my newly developed move. As long as I control the ice surrounding me to float, I can float in the air. Although I can't fly freely like Ran, it is best suited to frighten the enemy with this gorgeous performance."
She asked, "What do you think, Xiao Lin?"
"...Ah, what a troublesome ability." Xiao Lin replied in a low voice.
If you still think about throwing the opponent into the volcano if you can't beat him, isn't it completely useless now?
As expected of Esdeath, it is extremely developable.
But unexpectedly, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Lin, saying gratefully, "Thanks to you, Xiao Lin."
"……Eh?"
Xiaolin blinked as he felt the softness. He didn't understand what Esdeath meant by this.
Esdeath explained: "Living with you during this time has deepened my understanding of ice a lot, and I don't know why, just thinking of you makes me calm down and I have stronger control over ice. Already."
"Ahaha...that's really good...well, that's great."
Xiao Lin's tone was very subtle, and he gave a perfunctory compliment. At the same time, he looked down at the blue crystal on his chest and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
What a ghost, MD, Aqua!
"Just in time you're back."
Esdeath woke up Xiao Lin who was still deep in thought and said, "I said before that I would take you to see the emperor. Now come with me to the palace again. I have an important task for you to complete."
"……Yes, I understand."
The two walked towards the palace again.
On the way, Esdeath suddenly said: "I heard from my subordinates that you killed the minister's son Sheila?"
"Yes." Xiaolin admitted simply.
"Well done." Esdeath praised.
Just as he guessed, he wasn't blamed.
One is that Sheela said in public that he wanted to die as an emperor, and General Bude would definitely kill him when he found out, and no one could stop him.
The other is that Sheila has been targeting Esdeath recently. The minister will definitely make concessions in order to eliminate the gap between the two parties, and abandoning Sheila is his attitude. ….
"The emperor will let you become an official later." Esdeath said abruptly.
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.
It was sudden and strange, and he didn't understand.
"This is what the minister and I decided yesterday." Esdeath plainly revealed her strong influence on the imperial capital. She explained: "The execution day will be in three days. At that time, General Bude and I will face the enemy. Just in case someone needs to be able to control the whole place."
"So this person is me?"
"Don't worry, Lan will help you too."
"I see."
The two came to the palace, passed through several gates under the leadership of the guards, and passed through several checkpoints before finally seeing the well-protected little emperor sitting on the throne.
"His Majesty."
"……His Majesty."
Esdeath knelt down very simply. Xiaolin hesitated for a moment, but still knelt down on one knee.
"General, you are here."
The little emperor on the throne looked down at the two of them. He was young but full of majesty.
He waved the scepter in his hand, pointed the tip of it at Esdeath and said, "General, the thief will definitely appear in the execution in three days. This is related to the royal family's reputation. Are you sure that the execution will be carried out smoothly?"
"I have confidence." Esdeath replied decisively.
"very good."
The little emperor nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xiao Lin and said, "Is he the one you recommended? He is really young."
"Your Majesty. Please don't judge a person's strength by his age. I have full confidence in him." Esdeath slightly contradicted the little emperor.
The emperor should be furious if he is contradicted by his ministers.
But the little emperor was not angry. He said: "Since he is recommended by the general, it means he has real materials. Then I will appoint him... as... minister. What should I appoint him?"
The little emperor turned to ask the minister beside him.
The minister was biting into the raw meat, with pale teeth and a ferocious expression, glaring at Xiao Lin as if he was eating the meat raw.
Upon hearing the inquiry, he immediately showed a gentle smile that only elders can have.
He suggested softly: "Your Majesty, let him be the commander of the palace. He should have no problem leading the imperial army in the palace."
"Forbidden Army..."
The little emperor was not as obedient as before.
Because the person currently leading the imperial army is General Bude, he needs the other party's consent to appoint him.
However, the minister went to save the country and said: "It is not your imperial army, but the imperial army that protects the execution ground. As long as a few soldiers are allocated to maintain order in the execution ground, it will be enough. With General Esdeath and General Bude here, the thieves cannot escape." What kind of waves are there?"
General Bude's mission from generation to generation is to protect the royal family, so as long as it is not a real seizure of power, he doesn't care.
Coupled with the recent rebellions, Bude always has to go to surrounding areas to fight, and is often away from the palace.
The minister knew this and became even more presumptuous.
"Okay, just do as the minister says."
The appointment was officially issued, and Xiao Lin accepted the order happily.
At this time, the little emperor looked at Esdeath and Xiaolin below, and suddenly asked: "General, didn't you say you were looking for a love partner? How about the person next to you? A palace commander is equivalent to a general, so he should meet the standards. .”
"Well..."
"Your Majesty! It's not appropriate to talk about this now!"
The minister suddenly interrupted forcefully, and said as if he was lecturing: "Now that the enemy is facing us, we should not discuss the love between children. It is good that you can understand General Esdeath, but we must also consider the occasion. We will capture the thief smoothly* It’s not too late to talk about this later.”
"...Well, the minister is right."
The little emperor ignored the matter lightly.
However--
The minister will never facilitate them!
The reason for not pursuing Sheila's death was because he wanted to eliminate the rift with Esdeath, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't avenge Sheila!
Xiao Lin must be killed and let him suffer the punishment of splitting an ox!
When the thief appears, he uses poor supervision as an excuse to get the emperor to convict him, and immediately kills him after being captured in the dungeon. Even if Esdeath pleads for mercy, it will be too late.
This is a brilliant plan he came up with!
That's how it should be.
However, why...
The little emperor sitting high on the throne looked down at the ministers who were suppressed by the guards and knelt below. He raised the scepter in his hand and said coldly:
"—Minister, because you disturbed my policies and delayed government affairs, I sentence you to the punishment of splitting an ox."
Why does this happen? ! ! !
The minister glared at the little emperor and Xiao Lin standing next to him! .
