After staring at Honest who didn't know what he was doing in dissatisfaction, a tall man in armor came out of the shadows.
"As the leader of the Guards, I must stay near His Majesty at all times to prevent you from being persecuted by thieves."
"As for the group of rats currently running around in the imperial capital, I think it's enough to leave it to the minister's assassination team."
"General Budo, this is not right."
Honest, who had been prepared for a long time, shook his head, the fat on his face trembling. "The group of thieves who are running around in the imperial capital are stronger than you imagined."
"In order to deal with them, not only did I lose two Teigu User, but even the assassination troops were severely damaged."
"Besides, the Imperial Guard, which was hit hard earlier, hasn't recovered yet."
"Not to mention sending people to deal with them, there are not many people under my command
who can use it at the moment."
"If it wasn't really impossible, I wouldn't come to you for help."
Of course, that's impossible without anyone using it.
It's just that he is more inclined to let Budo take the shot than continue to lose his men.
If it succeeds, just pretend nothing happened and everyone is happy.
If it fails, all the better.
At present, in the imperial capital, the only person who still has the ability to interfere with him is the stubborn old man in front of him.
As long as the opponent is dead, the empire can be said to have completely fallen under his control.
When the time comes, he can do whatever he wants.
It's much more free than it is now.
As long as he wanted, he could even directly kick the little emperor down and take that position by himself.
As Honest's old enemy, Budo naturally couldn't see through his thoughts.
With a cold snort of dissatisfaction, he refused without giving any face.
"If you can't even do this little thing well, you don't have to be a minister."
"Get out quickly and give up the position to someone who is capable."
"Well, well, please calm down, both of you."
The atmosphere was a little awkward, the little emperor interrupted quickly.
"Since Budo is unwilling, forget it."
"It just so happened that a good news came from the front line. General Esdeath has solved the alliance race in the north."
"When she comes back, the thieves in the imperial capital will be handled by her."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing what the little emperor said, Honest also gave up persuading him.
"In that case, I will take my leave first."
"If you have anything to do, you can ... "
"General Budo!"
