Following the governor's mistress's usual mannerisms, Chelsea glared angrily at the guard before her.
"Has Siaxi arrived? Let her in!"
At that moment, the governor's voice came from inside the room. Only then did the guards step aside and allow Chelsea to enter.
After entering the room, Chelsea saw the obese governor leisurely sipping tea while fiddling with an exquisite piece of porcelain.
"Siaxi, come... sit beside me."
The governor's eyes lit up when he saw Chelsea enter... he liked this woman who resembled his mother. Of course... his mother had long since died, back when he was still in his teens.
Thus, the image of his mother in his mind had always been that of a beautiful woman in her thirties.
"Of course, my darling."
Following the information in the intelligence reports, Chelsea answered while imitating the governor's mistress's tone and habits.
Indeed, although this governor was already in his forties and his mistress was only around thirty... the governor simply loved having this younger "Mom" speak to him that way.
So Chelsea spoke disgustingly while walking over with a smile on her face, then sat down beside the governor.
Just as the governor could no longer resist doing something to Chelsea, a long needle suddenly appeared in Chelsea's hand as though she were embracing him, piercing his neck.
Before he even felt any pain, the governor lost his life.
Let Everything Freeze
After more than ten days of travel, the Imperial Army of one hundred thousand, led by Durandal as commander with Esdeath and Najeta as deputy commanders, finally arrived at the Empire's border region.
"Do you have any plans for this operation?"
Najeta rode alongside Esdeath and Durandal. Their destination was drawing closer, yet they still had not discussed how to deal with the enemy's million-strong army.
