He could escape on his own, but... that was impossible!
At last, Kagurazaka Yuuki asked his final question.
"Before pledging loyalty to me, you had already sworn loyalty to the Emperor, hadn't you?"
"Mm. I still couldn't hide it from you, Boss."
The moment he heard those words, Damrada's eyes lit up, because he knew Kagurazaka Yuuki had understood his intentions.
"Fine. I trust you. I choose to launch a coup."
Kagurazaka Yuuki finally made up his mind.
Because he had no other choice!
As soon as Kagurazaka Yuuki's decision fell, everyone present immediately lowered their weapons, and even their vigilance relaxed somewhat.
They did not trust Damrada, but all of them trusted their Boss, Kagurazaka Yuuki. Between them existed something like a bond, or perhaps a tie.
Perhaps that was what they called friendship!
Afterward, Kagurazaka Yuuki began discussing the details of the coup with Damrada.
After all, although the Imperial Capital was currently quite empty, the vast majority of high-ranking powerhouses still resided there. If they rashly launched a coup head-on, then there would be only one outcome for them...
"Failure"!
After all, his faction clearly did not have the strength to become enemies with Emperor Rudra and the Emperor's Royal Guard Knights under his command.
Not to mention those beings with single-digit serial numbers.
And that truly monstrous existence.
The Empire's Marshal!!!
Kagurazaka Yuuki did not believe they had the ability to contend with that Marshal!
Though he hated to admit it, Kagurazaka Yuuki knew that the odds of the coup succeeding were pitifully small.
Or rather, they were practically nonexistent.
Even with the Empire's two major legions all deployed outside, and the Mixed Legion under his control, he still had no confidence at all.
But this was already the best opportunity.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
An opportunity
