When Najeta saw Lin Che, she said with a serious expression, "Your Highness Prince Lin, it seems you discovered us long ago?"
Lin Che didn't answer her words, but instead said, "I stayed up all night writing policies, and finally got some sleep; can't you come a little later?"
"It seems my guess was correct; the policies the Little Emperor is implementing now are all from your hand." Najeta looked at the handsome young man in front of her and suddenly felt some admiration.
This young man was saving the Empire in a different way.
"They are from my hand, so what do you need from me this time?" Lin Che walked to a chair, sat down, and asked.
"Your Highness Prince, your appearance has made things a bit difficult for our Revolutionary Army; may I ask if Your Highness Prince is willing to join us?" Najeta extended an invitation to Lin Che.
Lin Che chuckled when he heard Najeta's words.
He interrupted the other party and asked, "Najeta, stop deceiving yourself; don't you know the situation of the Revolutionary Army's higher-ups?"
Leaving aside the fact that their initial intentions have changed, just the fact that they allied with foreign races to attack the Empire makes them criminals.
This is like the end of the Ming Dynasty; no matter how corrupt Da Ming was internally, it was still an internal problem.
But you, Wu Sangui, should not have opened the pass and let the Qing army in to overthrow Li Zicheng.
Although these words sound a bit nationalistic, from Najeta's perspective, was the Revolutionary Army, which allied with foreign races, truly worth being loyal to?
Najeta was silenced by the question, unsure how to answer for a moment.
But Leone, who was beside her, said, "You speak of our Revolutionary Army so poorly, but what about yourself? Didn't you control the Little Emperor just to ascend to the throne?"
Lin Che, however, said with a laugh, "It's better for me to be Emperor than for a foreign race to be Emperor, right? Besides, I am implementing benevolent policies, and everything is for the sake of making the ordinary people live better; do I not have the qualifications to be Emperor like this?"
"You..." Leone was speechless, unsure how to retort.
"So Your Highness Prince means for our Night Raid to help you?" Najeta stabilized her emotions and asked Lin Che with sharp eyes.
Lin Che really liked her eyes; this Najeta was also a great beauty.
Not only was her appearance high, but her figure was also not inferior to Leone's.
Unfortunately, one arm was severed and one eye was shot blind by Esdeath.
Now she had even cut her hair short and was living like a man.
With Najeta's leadership ability, if she were to recruit a Familia, being a Leader would be more than enough.
However, he was already the Leader, so she could only be the Vice Leader.
From now on, all Familia matters will be handed over to her to manage, and I can do whatever I want.
He shook his head, no longer thinking about these things.
Lin Che replied to Najeta: "That's right, I will control the Little Emperor to change this Empire little by little, reducing war as much as possible, and when the time is right, I will have him abdicate the throne."
"Sorry, we can't believe what you said right now." Najeta shook her head, politely refusing.
"It's okay, I will show you the results." Lin Che was not in a hurry to complete the task. The main purpose this time was to recruit all members of Night Raid into the Familia.
So, he first needed to build bonds with them, so that he could better win them over.
The first impression in the early stage was very important, and Lin Che did not intend to make things difficult for them.
"We are waiting for that day to come, we will take our leave now!" After Najeta finished speaking, she left with Leone, Akame, and Brand.
After they left, Esdeath suddenly walked out.
"Are you just going to let them go like that?"
"There's no way, they don't trust me yet." Lin Che shook his head with a bitter smile.
"If you ask me, just capture all of them and force them to join!" Esdeath said disdainfully.
Lin Che was speechless and changed the topic: "There should be quite a few Revolutionary Army informants in the Imperial Palace, right?"
"What do you want to do?" Esdeath asked.
"Spread some real news to those informants, saying that Night Raid leader Najeta brought Akame, Leone, and Brand into the palace and had a pleasant conversation with Your Highness Prince Lin Che!" The smile on Lin Che's face suddenly turned a little wicked.
This looks like a big villain's smile!
Esdeath immediately understood Lin Che's intention. He was deliberately disgusting the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army, making them suspicious of Najeta, and provoking a rift between them and Night Raid.
This was an open plot. Regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, they would be disgusted.
"You guy, your heart must be black, right?" Esdeath came to Lin Che and poked his chest with her slender finger.
Lin Che grabbed her hand, brought it to his mouth and lightly touched it, saying, "It's black towards others, but it's red towards my own people!"
Esdeath smiled slightly, directly pushed Lin Che onto the bed, and then straddled him.
...
A day passed, and when Lin Che woke up, it was already evening.
Smelling the faint fragrance on the pillow, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Finally ate meat!
He got up and moved his body, then washed up and changed clothes.
He didn't plan to review memorials tonight, he wanted to relax.
With a slight leap, he flew into the sky above the Imperial Capital, and then flew towards the Night Raid base outside the city.
Soon, he saw it.
The moment he landed from the air, he saw a katana and a spear attacking him.
However, Lin Che only used two fingers to clamp the katana, and with a slight twist, he blocked the spear.
"How is this possible!"
This scene stunned everyone.
It turned out that Lin Che's sudden visit made Akame and Brand think there was an enemy, so they attacked immediately.
But beyond their expectations, their full-force attack was blocked by two fingers!
Not only did Akame and Brand show shocked expressions, but the others who ran out of the house also opened their mouths wide when they saw this scene, showing an expression of disbelief.
Najeta was the first to react and asked Lin Che: "Your Highness Prince, what brings you here?"
Lin Che loosened his fingers and said with a smile: "Just came to take a look, and grab a meal by the way."
Everyone had lines of black on their foreheads.
A Prince going to the home of a wanted criminal to grab a meal, it doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it!
Lin Che scanned the area and found that the protagonist Tatsumi was not there, which meant the plot had not yet begun.
"Welcome, I also have many questions I want to discuss with Your Highness Prince." After Najeta finished speaking, she had someone prepare dinner.
The others exchanged glances, left the strongest Akame and Brand to protect Najeta, and then went to prepare dinner.
Lin Che saw their actions and didn't care.
He said to Najeta: "General Najeta, what do you want to talk about?"
Najeta shook her head and said: "I am no longer a General, Your Highness Prince can just call me by my name."
Lin Che nodded, indicating his agreement.
Seeing this, Najeta continued: "Actually, what I want to talk about is still related to the Empire. Do you really have the ability to heal this country?"
"There are many ways to heal this country, and I chose the one with the least sacrifice!" Lin Che replied with a smile.
If the Revolutionary Army, in conjunction with several major ethnic minorities, fought all the way to the Imperial Capital as in the original work, how many people would die?
Instead of doing that, it is better to control the Little Emperor, clean up some of the Empire's nobles, and then formulate new rules.
Najeta also knew that Lin Che's method was very good, and under his many policies, the Empire had already changed.
This was also the reason why the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army were so anxious.
However, there was still one thing she didn't understand.
"What is your relationship with Esdeath?" Najeta asked.
Towards Esdeath, she felt a bit of fear from the bottom of her heart.
Because that woman was the source of war, she was even more evil than the Minister!
"My relationship with her is hard to explain for a while, but I can assure you that she will no longer casually start wars in the future." Lin Che assured Najeta.
"I cannot believe your assurance, because I know Esdeath very well. That woman will not obey anyone's orders!" Najeta said with a sigh.
Speaking of Esdeath, there was a trace of hatred in her eyes.
Because her arm and eye were destroyed by Esdeath.
That year, when she betrayed the Empire and fled the Imperial Capital, Esdeath, who was chasing her, clearly had the ability to capture her and bring her back, but the other party deliberately let her go, allowing her to join the Revolutionary Army and increase its strength.
She knew very well that Esdeath intentionally strengthened the power of the Revolutionary Army and planted the seeds of war.
It was the same when that woman massacred ethnic minorities. Every time she defeated and massacred the other party, she would let some go, leaving behind the seeds for continuous war.
The more Najeta understood Esdeath, the more certain she became that no one could control Esdeath.
Lin Che said somewhat helplessly: "Esdeath is my woman now, I won't let her mess around. I'm sure you've seen that recently I've been having her suppress those rebellious nobles."
Najeta showed a shocked expression after hearing Lin Che's words.
She really couldn't imagine that someone could conquer Esdeath.
Not only her, but Akame and Brand also showed expressions of horror.
"Are you telling the truth?" Najeta asked in disbelief.
"Of course." Lin Che nodded.
Najeta took a deep breath, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing that the other party was not speaking, Lin Che increased the stakes and said: "As long as you are willing to pledge allegiance to me, I will help you heal your eye and arm."
