Because he still had trump cards and escape routes prepared, the minister was not worried in the slightest, even though the Empire was clearly on the verge of collapse.
He only resented those rebels for not dying.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Just as the minister ate meat and chatted with the young emperor to soothe him, two faint sounds, as soft as the wind, rang out.
Two figures suddenly appeared in the palace hall. They were Akame and her younger sister, Kurome.
"Who goes there? Protect His Majesty!"
The moment Akame and Kurome appeared, the palace guards spotted them and immediately shouted.
The guards reacted swiftly, positioning themselves before the minister and emperor. The Rakshasa Demons secretly protecting the minister also revealed themselves and guarded his side, while the minister and emperor quickly cowered behind them.
"Immortal Blades under Director Rita?"
Only after the minister had hidden himself did he make out the two women's appearances, and his face changed.
"No. We are members of the Immortal Blades under Durandal. Kurome and Akame have come under Lady Durandal's orders to apprehend the minister and the emperor."
The Akame sisters paid no attention at all to the guards pointing their blades at them or the remaining Four Rakshasa Demons.
The sisters merely stared coldly at the minister and emperor.
Unlike the orders given to the other Immortal Blades members, Lady Durandal had said that the minister and emperor... had to be taken alive.
"Apprehend us? What..."
The minister was startled by her words!
"Why? Why would General Durandal do this? Did the Revolutionary Army promise her some benefit? I am the Empire's minister, and His Majesty is the Empire's emperor. We possess everything in this world. Whatever she wants, His Majesty and I can give her ten times over."
The minister spoke rapidly.
