Rivo, like the little emperor in the original work, showed a gentle smile.
He reached out and helped Mez up.
"In the future, can I call you Mez?"
"The rest of you Rakshasa Four Ghosts look a little too terrifying."
"I didn't even dare talk to them."
Rivo sighed lightly and pretended to be a little embarrassed as he spoke.
And after the horse head was helped up, her face also showed a look of surprise.
She looked at Rivo, who appeared harmless to humans and animals in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart.
As the most noble person in the world, he was like a canary in captivity.
Not a few years younger than herself, but with such a tragic fate.
"Anyway, Lord Honest will not kill His Majesty."
"In that case, it shouldn't be much of a problem…"
In Mez's opinion, Rivo would not pose much threat to Honest.
She was an eagle dog bred by the Imperial Boxing Temple and was only loyal to Honest.
Her first consideration must always be Honest's interests.
Since Honest would not have any conflict of interest with Rivo, then she should be fine even if she crossed the boundary a little.
"Of course, Your Majesty."
"A person of such noble status as Your Majesty remembering the name of a lowly person like me…"
"It's my honor."
Mez was actually very happy in her heart. She had forgotten the name Mez.
If Rivo hadn't mentioned it, maybe she wouldn't have used the name Mez again in her life.
"Mez, did the minister go out today?"
"It's really rare that the minister is willing to go outside."
Rivo sat on the edge of the bed, smiled slightly, and asked Mez seemingly very casually.
He didn't approach Mez without purpose.
As one of the Four Ghosts of Rakshasa, they were the ones who knew the whereabouts of Honest the best.
He wanted to make Mez a double agent—his inconspicuous but best protective color.
"Lord Honest seems to have gone out today."
"It seems to be about the Honest family."
Mez thought for a while, felt it was nothing, so she said it directly to the little emperor, Rivo.
In the subsequent chat, the two did not mention any sensitive topics.
It was all some of the most common things of their age, and the things Mez did in the Imperial Boxing Temple.
In this way, he could get closer to Mez so he could obtain some information.
Soon, late night came.
Except for the red light district in the imperial capital, almost all of the imperial capital was dark.
At this time, two figures were constantly going back and forth around the red light district.
One of them had long black hair that reached to the waist, and her body was flexible and changeable, like a ghost.
The other had long golden hair like a lion and was dressed in a power suit.
If you are familiar with the anime Akame ga Kill, you will definitely know the identities of the two—they were the two pillars of Night Raid:
The strongest killer of the former imperial capital assassination force, Akame, and Leone, who had the terrifying power and resilience of the Lion King.
"Is this the place?"
"In recent times, there have been cases of missing girls in this area."
Leone looked at the resplendent tall building in front of her, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.
Logically, people here shouldn't go missing.
Although the Night Raid received intel that many people who weren't prostitutes had disappeared around here,
in the end, only blood-stained clothes could be found, as if they had been eaten.
But this was the red light district—a place where countless dignitaries came to spend and have fun.
Generally speaking, Night Raid rarely came here.
"It smells of blood, Leone."
Akame's brows furrowed slightly. When she felt the smell of blood coming from below, she also felt a little bad in her heart.
This mission was too strange.
The women who disappeared were still beautiful, and it wasn't only here.
Even on the eastern side of the imperial capital, women often disappeared, but infiltrating there was not good for now.
"Let's go, see what the hell is going on."
Leone sighed lightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
The belt around her waist immediately lit up with a flash of fire, and her momentum instantly changed.
The two also jumped down at the same time, directly broke open the window, and entered the room where the smell of blood was strongest.
Akame, coming from an assassination unit, was very sensitive to the smell of blood.
Even tens of meters away, covered by alcohol and perfume, the scent of blood could not be masked.
Not to mention Leone—with the Teigu Lion King, her senses were enhanced dozens of times.
Compared to her red eyes, she could feel the thick stench of blood even more.
When the two broke through the window and entered the room at the top, their pupils couldn't help but be slightly startled.
In front of them stood a woman in a kimono, looking charming.
And in front of her was a girl—unclothed and covered in blood.
The scene in front of them looked like she had been eaten alive.
"Hey… it can't be…"
Leone looked at the scene in disbelief and swallowed a mouthful of spit.
Even after seeing so much of the capital's darkness, she had never seen anyone devour human flesh and blood alive.
Moreover, the one doing such a thing turned out to be an extremely beautiful woman.
Leone immediately recognized her—she was the Daki who had recently become famous in the Red Light District.
"Leone… this woman is very dangerous…"
Akame slowly held her hand to the long knife at her waist, her eyes turning extremely cold.
She wasn't just disgusted—Akame, born from the assassination unit, deeply felt the danger radiating from the woman in front of her.
"Who are you?"
"You dare disturb me while I eat?"
The woman standing before them now was none other than Daki, who had been summoned by Rivo not long ago.
Daki threw the woman in her hand aside, clearly displeased at being disturbed mid-meal.
Having people see her in such an unbeautiful state made her feel very unhappy.
Daki, who had always prioritized beauty, now looked at the two with killing intent.
"Don't hold back!"
Akame's face suddenly changed, and while feeling a chill, her figure instantly disappeared.
She moved so fast that even Daki couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Oh!"
With a cold flash, the Teigu in Akame's hand moved to kill.
She slashed straight toward Daki's body.
