What was this man's origin?
Just by feeling Linde's aura, Najenda's pupils couldn't help but tremble.
She felt an incredibly dangerous aura that had filled the entire room.
She was very familiar with this aura.
It was common on the battlefield.
The aura named death.
Najenda was certain that even Esdeath couldn't give her such a feeling.
Even more terrifying was that.
There was also a mysterious power in the air.
Terrifying and powerful.
This was the culprit behind suppressing Leone.
Cold sweat instantly drenched his back.
What kind of monster did Akame bring back?
On the other side.
Leone struggled to lift her head, revealing a smile uglier than a cry.
"Um, Mr. Linde, I was wrong just now. Can you please overlook my mistake?"
Leone instantly cowered.
She was now certain that this person was an existence she absolutely could not contend with.
Linde didn't reply, merely looking at her with a half-smile.
Leone's smile froze on her face.
The pressure on her body didn't increase, but she felt an inexplicable aura that made her suffocate.
She could only look towards Akame.
Sister, control your man, save me!
"..."
This was clearly her own doing.
She had tried to stop her earlier.
After a moment of thought, Akame turned her head away.
Anyway, her Master wouldn't kill her, and it wouldn't be bad to teach Leone a lesson about her impulsive nature.
Leone: "???"
She looked at Akame in disbelief.
Your comrade is like this, and you're just pretending not to see, huh?
So this is the kind of person you are.
"Cough cough."
Najenda coughed, also giving Akame a meaningful look.
She had no relationship with this man and didn't understand his personality.
She really didn't dare to speak rashly.
Seeing this, Akame hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "Master, Leone has already learned her lesson, you see..."
Linde smiled slightly and said indifferently, "Alright, since my beloved Retainer has interceded."
"Then I'll let her off."
As he spoke, the oppressive aura that filled the entire room vanished.
"Phew!"
Leone's body slumped, as if turning into a puddle of mud on the floor.
"Are you alright, Leone?"
Najenda quickly helped her up, checking on Leone's condition.
"No, I'm fine."
Leone wiped the sweat from her face, weakly saying, "I'm just a little exhausted."
With Najenda's help, she sat down on a chair.
Najenda turned her head, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
"Akame, can you tell me who this Mr. Linde is?"
Her intuition told her.
Their relationship was not simple.
It was clear that Linde held an absolutely dominant position.
Akame was silent for a moment, then said, "As you heard, he is my Master."
"Ah?"
Leone said, bewildered, "Isn't this just a game between you two..."
"No, this is an existence I need to serve."
As soon as these words left her mouth.
Leone and Najenda exchanged glances, both wanting to speak but holding back.
They both saw the incredulity in each other's eyes.
Both of them knew very well what kind of woman Akame was, with her unwavering will.
And now, she was willingly serving this man?
Leone anxiously said, "Is this man forcing you? Tell us, and we'll figure something out together."
"That's right."
Najenda's face showed determination, "Even if we are not his match, we absolutely cannot let you suffer this humiliation."
"..."
Does he really look like a bad guy?
He's clearly very kind to beautiful girls, isn't he?
Akame shook her head, "Becoming Master's Retainer was my own choice."
"Retainer?"
Najenda asked, confused, "What kind of title is that?"
"It's an existence that serves a devil."
Linde said with a smile, "Simply put, Akame is now also a devil."
"Huh?"
Leone and Najenda were a bit bewildered, their minds struggling to comprehend.
After a moment, Leone said, playfully chiding, "Akame, this is all a joke, right?"
"You and this Mr. Linde are playing a trick on us, aren't you?"
"I didn't expect you to even joke."
Akame didn't answer, merely sighing.
Whoosh!
A pair of black wings instantly burst forth from her body.
Whoosh whoosh!
The wings flapped, and a demonic aura filled the entire room.
Leone and Najenda's pupils contracted, completely stunned.
Devil?
It really was a devil.
Looking at the painful demonic wings, Leone and Najenda's brains completely crashed.
It was a long time later.
Najenda finally recovered, looking at Akame and saying, "Can you tell me in detail what happened?"
"That's right."
Leone nodded vehemently, "Start from the beginning, don't miss any details."
Her comrade went out hunting.
She was drinking and singing.
And the other person became a devil.
This development was simply too incredible, too hard to accept.
"Alright."
Akame organized her words and began to narrate.
Who knows how much time passed.
The atmosphere in the room fell into silence.
Leone chugged a mouthful of wine, sighing, "It's truly beyond imagination that something like this would happen?"
"Even Esdeath became a devil?"
Najenda hesitated, "So, the person rumored to have replaced Minister Honest, was actually you?"
"That's right."
Linde blinked, "Or do you have doubts?"
"Nothing, it's just too much information."
Najenda's gaze became complex.
A devil controlled the Empire.
What should they do now?
The opponent was simply too powerful.
Did the desire to overthrow the Empire really become just a dream all of a sudden?
Who would have thought.
In just one day.
Her ideal would be shattered?
"By the way, how about you two also become my Retainers?"
"Hmm?"
Leone and Najenda were stunned.
They hadn't expected.
To hear such words.
