At the same time, my wife is myself.

In the animated version, he's just a fat guy.

Considering that his Imperial Arms can nullify other Imperial Arms and that he has survived for so many years without being assassinated, it is normal for Chiyuki to think that he is a master.

Chapter 72 Black Eyes: My Brother-in-Law Prefers Me More (8k)

However, a martial arts master of the minister's caliber is meaningless to Qianyuan.

He pointed his fingers into a sword shape, and with a gentle flick, the invisible magical power transformed into a sharp blade, slicing Minister Ernest in two.

Fat and blood spurted out simultaneously, splattering the floor, ceiling, and the nearby young emperor and his ministers.

Qianyuan was already standing on the edge of the area where she would not be affected, and her clothes were clean.

"So fast."

Leone couldn't see Chiyori's movements at all; only Akame, who had synchronized with Chiyori's power, could keep up.

"Minister!"

The young emperor was both shocked and terrified. His trusted minister, who was practically like a second father to him, was killed in such a bloody manner right before his eyes. He was filled with shock and fear.

"I am going to kill you!"

He had already put the hatred for his father's murder that Qian Yuan had mentioned behind him. However, faced with his anger, the hall was completely silent, and no one dared to speak.

Those tough guys either ran away or died at Minister Ernest's hands. The rest were either a mob that followed the minister or upright people who opposed him but kept quiet. It was impossible for anyone to go against Chiyuki because of the minister's death.

They didn't run away now because there were still raiders at the gate, and they were afraid of being killed if they passed by.

Only General Bude, who was specifically tasked with guarding the royal family, stepped forward and stood in front of the young emperor.

Bud also held some admiration for Chien-Yuan, and while he disliked the ministers, he felt that military generals should not interfere in politics, so he did not take action.

"You have killed Minister Ernest. Now leave. Do not offend the King. The Empire may be better again."

"Don't let him get away, General Bud!"

The young emperor was furious. "Kill him!"

Bud remained unmoved; his sole responsibility was to protect the emperor's safety.

Qianyuan laughed and said, "See? He wants to kill me. We can't let him get away with this."

"Besides, who says that the corruption of this empire is the fault of one minister alone? One who bears the stain of the country is called the master of the state; one who bears the misfortune of the country is called the king of the world."

"Once you've taken that position, you have to take the blame. Don't try to find excuses to absolve yourself."

"Would you choose to die with him, or push him away?"

General Budo remained silent, but the basalt floor tiles beneath his feet suddenly melted into crimson magma, and the gilded armor of his Imperial Arms, "Thunder God's Wrath - Admiral," crackled with bluish-purple electricity. The leaping electric snakes wove a web of death between the palace pillars, and even the air was ionized, releasing a pungent, acrid ozone odor.

"Since it's a lightning-attribute Imperial Arm, I'll use this move to send you on your way."

Qian Yuan stepped forward into the thunderstorm, his hair standing on end in the static field. Arcs of electricity crackled across his body, and a beam of blazing white lightning shot out, instantly piercing General Bude's head and the little emperor behind him.

The young emperor didn't even have time to activate the "Supreme Imperial Arms".

"Instant kill!"

Leone swallowed hard. She had just sensed General Bud's imposing presence and concluded that she was no match for him, but Chien had instantly killed him!

Is this his true strength? No, since it was an instant kill, his strength was definitely not fully displayed, and General Bude couldn't fathom his true abilities at all.

"No wonder they were so confident in crushing the revolutionary army."

Brand's expression turned serious. "They were just playing around with us before. Even Esdeath couldn't have killed General Brand so easily."

He saw that Qianyuan looked unusually relaxed, not at all burdened.

Now, Brand began to doubt how long Esdeath could hold out against Chiyanagi.

Qianyuan turned and looked down at the ministers in the hall: "Is there anyone who is familiar with Ernest and can contact his son? Step forward and call his son Sheila back. The family should be together."

Several people came out cautiously: "I know that this kind of thing is done by the minister's trusted confidants. A very favored maid can definitely contact Sheila."

"Then you'll handle this matter."

Qianyuan said, "If you can't handle it, you'll have to go down to see the ministers."

"Yes!"

He was trembling all over, but he also knew that this might be his only chance. If he could latch onto a powerful figure, he could take off!

"Is this the end?"

Leone was still in disbelief. "You've become the emperor?"

"There are definitely still some procedures to go through."

Qianyuan glanced at the filthy main hall with disdain. "Send a few people to clean the main hall, and then start to rectify the atmosphere. Leone and you guys will take the lead. Let these people help with the procedures. Today, you will act as special envoys, acting first and reporting later, with the special permission of the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Leone's eyes lit up: "That's awesome, and that's cool too."

The night raiders took some officials with them and left. After they left, Akame emerged from the shadows and followed them.

She was worried about her companions during the night raid, so she used Kurumi Tokisaki's power to pull out her past self from a minute earlier and secretly help them.

As for his true self, he naturally went to find his sister, Hei Tong. Hei Tong was in the Empire's assassination squad, and now too many officials wanted to curry favor with Qian Yuan. As soon as he mentioned it, someone immediately led the way for him.

But as she was about to meet Kurome, Akame hesitated for a moment:

"If I go directly to see Kurohime like this, will she still have any lingering resentment?"

The Akame and Kurome sisters had a good relationship, but after Akame rebelled against the empire and joined Night Raid, she and her sister became estranged.

Kurome believed this was a betrayal. She thought that as long as they were loyal to the Empire, the two sisters could stay together forever. From then on, Kurome started to show signs of being a yandere. Her Imperial Arms, "Hachifusa," could control the people she killed.

She would rather kill her companions and turn them into corpse puppets than lose the bond she shared with them. Her greatest wish now is to kill Akame and turn her into her puppet.

However, both Chien and Akame knew that when it came to actually making a move, Kurome couldn't bring herself to do it.

Akame said worriedly, "Because of me, her personality has become somewhat distorted. She keeps training to become stronger, hoping to defeat me one day. If we meet her directly like this and tell her that everything is over, she won't be able to release the emotions that are suppressed in her heart. I'm worried that she will develop health problems from holding it in."

Qianyuan could completely understand Akame's worries. After all, Akame was her only family member and only sister. Even if her worries seemed excessive, it was perfectly normal.

“She needs a victory, and I want to put on a show. You are the best choice. We are so close, and you don’t belong to either the Revolutionary Army or the Empire.”

Akame grasped Chien's hand and conveyed her thoughts to her, which made Chien fully understand her ideas.

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Akame rolled her eyes at him: "Don't you like it?"

Qianyuan was very honest: "I like it."

…………

When Kuroko learned that the empire had a new emperor, she thought it was fake news. However, her boss's expression didn't seem like a joke, and he told her that the new emperor wanted to see her.

After entering the palace and delving into the inner chambers, Hei Tong finally realized that it was real. But why did the new emperor want to see her? If it came to fighting skills, the emperor certainly had better options. Could it be that he was after her body?

But how did the new emperor learn of her existence? Kuroko felt she wasn't particularly active.

Standing at the entrance of the palace, Kurohime heard the sound of water. Upon entering, she found a young-looking man sitting on the bed, holding a girl in his arms. The girl was about the same size as her and wore a collar around her neck, like a completely tamed female slave, fawning over the emperor.

She looks a lot like me. Could this emperor really be interested in my body?

However, when the girl whom Kurohime had labeled as a female slave turned around, Kurohime's pupils dilated in shock.

Her face was over 90% similar to hers, except for her eyes, which were blood-red.

Black Eyes cried out in surprise, "Sister!"

Akame's expression was complicated. Although it was a pre-arranged act, she still felt somewhat ashamed to perform it in front of her sister.

"Black pupils..."

Her body stiffened, and she couldn't utter the lines she had prepared.

Upon seeing this, Qianyuan immediately put her arm around her waist and said to Heitong, "When she mentioned that she has a younger sister, I thought of you. No wonder you're sisters, you look so alike."

Black Eyes was somewhat puzzled, but still bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, why is she here?"

"She came to assassinate me, but I captured her."

Qianyuan stroked Chitong's chin, "However, her appearance is so outstanding that I fell in love with her at first sight, so I pardoned her."

Damn, that's so awkward.

Qianyuan communicated with Akame through telepathy: "Your script is really awkward."

Akame said, "I am you, and you are me. I suggest you reflect on your own taste."

With such a short notice, Qianyuan couldn't possibly prepare a good script, so she'd just have to make do. Anyway, there aren't many entertainment programs in this era, so Heitong probably wouldn't be able to tell.

"Next, they should be trying to persuade me to save you, right?"

Qianyuan said, "If you intend to take her place, then pretend to be moved and give you your freedom. If you're in an extreme situation and she tries to assassinate you, then pretend it was an accident and let you escape. Are you ready?"

Akame is ready to cooperate with Kurome. As long as Kurome saves her, she will feel like she is standing above her sister, and most of the knot in her heart that has been tied up for so many years should be untied.

To provoke Kurohime, Chien even reached under Akame's skirt in front of her, anticipating Kurohime's reaction.

This emperor is truly a gentle and kind person. His dark eyes gazed at the exposed skin of the red-eyed man, which was smooth and without any wounds, not even a trace of bruising or swelling.

Although she hadn't actually experienced it, as a member of the Empire's assassination squad, it was impossible for her not to have come into contact with the Empire's dark side.

She knew just how corrupt those nobles and officials were, but she didn't care as much as Akame did.

Among that group of people, the women who were treated as playthings were considered to be treated well, with their bodies covered in bruises. Countless women were tortured to death, and some were even kept as pets after their limbs were cut off. Once they were tired of the women, they would be given away to others or discarded.

Having seen so many scenes, Kuroko immediately felt that Chiyo was a good person after seeing Akame's smooth and fair skin.

No, can a good person really become emperor? Maybe he just really likes his sister.

As a twisted fan of Akame, Kurome felt that it was normal for her sister, who was so outstanding, to be able to captivate the emperor.

Black Eyes made her decision: "Your Majesty, do you like my sister very much?"

"of course."

Qianyuan lifted Chitong's chin, "Don't you think she's very well-behaved?"

"So, what do you think of me?"

Kurome dropped the Imperial Arms at her waist and walked towards Sengen.

Is it coming? Is it a betrayal, or another option?

Qianyuan maintained her persona: "You do look quite good."

"Then, Your Majesty."

Hei Tong nuzzled Qian Yuan's hand with her head, "You specially called me here, so you must be interested in me too? I'm willing to serve you with my sister."

Qianyuan hesitated for three seconds, then realized something was wrong. After waiting for a while, she asked, "Aren't you planning to rescue your sister from my hands?"

"No, what's going on?"

Qianyuan communicated with Akame through telepathy, but Akame understood her sister better: "Perhaps, she wants to be with me forever through this method."

"Buy one get one free, right? What gravity field sister?"

"No, it's based on a different way of thinking."

Akame said, "I should remember that when I planned to betray the Empire and join Night Raid, I invited her, but she disagreed with leaving and wanted me to stay in the Empire and be with her."

“I never understood why she wouldn’t leave with me if she didn’t want to be separated from me. Now I think it’s because she lacked security, hated change, and felt scared to leave the Empire.”

Qianyuan understood: "So she can't possibly rebel against me. Perhaps for her, being an assassin or a favored concubine makes no difference, as long as she can be with you and never be separated."

"What a deep sisterly bond."

While the two were talking, Kurohime looked at Chiyori with a puzzled expression: "Don't you like twin sisters?"

If you ask whether I like her or not, of course I do. However, she is Akame's sister, so Chien-Yuan will have to ask Akame for her advice first.

"How to say?"

"Of course it's a bargain for you, what else can I do?"

Akame wasn't opposed to it. Since Kurome was willing, of course she could. Chien's conditions were much better than anyone else's in the world.

"Of course I like it."

With Akame's permission, Chien picked up Kurohime as well. Kurohime seemed to take the initiative, hooking her arms around his neck and giving him a kiss, which she kept kissing until she was almost breathless before letting go.
