"General Esdeath, the suppression in the north was very impressive. As a reward, I've prepared ten thousand gold for you."
The Little Emperor spoke, and although these words were meant to be imposing, they lost their weight due to the Little Emperor's childlike tone, sounding more like a schoolboy reciting a text than a commanding ruler.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will reward those brave soldiers who fought. Now that I am back, I will ensure the 'Night Raid' that disturbs your peace is completely eradicated."
Esdeath spoke to the Little Emperor, referring to herself as "I" instead of a subordinate.
Su Xiao glanced at the Chancellor beside the Little Emperor and then at Esdeath. It seemed that the Empire was truly under the control of these two.
"Then I'll have to bother the General with this, but other than that..."
As the Little Emperor spoke, Su Xiao's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"There is an enemy."
Su Xiao looked at Esdeath.
"Confirmed?"
"Confirmed."
"Eliminate them!"
