Esdeath looked at the foreign city ahead, a delighted smile on her face as she spread her arms...
"Once the enemies have been slaughtered, it'll be time for a delightful reward! Go ravage the enemy city to your heart's content!"
"Hahaha, it's time for fun again!"
Upon hearing Esdeath's order, the Three Beasts and the soldiers at her side grew extremely excited. Clearly, this was not the first time something like this had happened.
Every time they defeated an opponent, even the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who had no fighting strength were not spared as long as they were enemies. Instead, they used cruel methods to satisfy their own pleasure.
Thus, after receiving Esdeath's command, the Three Beasts and the soldiers stared at the foreign city ahead like wild beasts.
Of course, they knew there were only old people, children, and women inside. But wasn't that precisely what made it even more exciting?
Esdeath did not hate the foreign peoples. Her father... her clansmen had all died at the hands of foreign peoples, but that was only because they had been weak.
This was... the lesson her father had taught her. They had been weak, so they died at the hands of foreign peoples. Now, she was strong... and the foreign peoples were weak. Naturally, the strong could do whatever they wanted to the weak!

As she watched the Three Beasts lead the soldiers inside, Esdeath did not follow. Come to think of it... although Esdeath was extremely ruthless toward her enemies, she genuinely cared for her subordinates.
This could be seen most clearly from her three adjutants...
Liver, a former Imperial general; Nyau, a cross-dressing boy from an aristocratic family; and Daidath, a martial artist.
The loyalty these three held toward Esdeath came from the bottom
