3rd P.O.V
The scene opens up to a giant room presumably inside the empire's palace, the room had a long red carpet from the door toward a gold and red throne, Sat on it was a young boy with shoulder length green hair that was braided on the sides and green eyes. He wore a purple outfit with white boots and a blue mantle aswell as a large headdress.
Beside him was a round, middle-aged man with light skin, gray hair, dark yellow eyes, and a long white beard that extends down to his abdomen.
He wears a pair of brown boots, a dark green shirt, a belt below his belly and short pants which are also dark green, and a gray coat with some hair of an animal around his neck, resembling a bourgeois. The room itself was sorrounded by pillads which in the bottom had a granite And or bronze color which led up to a white collumn that reached up to the roof of the room. around the middle of the pillar in height there was a gold circle connecting the pillars to one another.
In the middle kneeling down on the red carpet as she bowed down to the emperor sat on the throne, was a young woman around her early 20's she was a tall, Beautiful and slender woman with long light blue hair which reached just under her waist and light blue eyes, She wore a general's apparel with long sleeves and buttons on the upper arms, a blue scarf and a pair of high-heeled boots. She also has a tattoo on her chest which is the sign of her teigu, She had porcelain white skin color. She bowed her head as she held her cap to her chest as she bowed down to the emperor.
"General Esdeath, For your success in conquering the northern tribe we have arranged a reward of 10 thousand gold coins." The emperor said as he looked down at the blue haired general before him. "I'm grateful your highness, I'll send it to the soldiers still fighting to protect our land. They will be pleased," said the Blue haired general still looking down with her eyes closed as a sign of respect to the emperor. (honestly why did they even follow a child?...) As she said this the Minister looking like a pedophile stared esdeath down while holding a wine glass filled with wine ofcourse. As he gave Esdeath a toothy grin, most likely thinking of a devious plan.
"Now that i have returned to the capital from the north land your majesty can once again rest at ease. I shall be terminating night raid next." Said the general with both certainty and pride in her voice as she looked up at the emperor. "Quite and undertaking, we would like to compensate you for such an achievement with more than just money. Is there something else you'd prefer?.." Asked the smol boi of a emperor. "Actually there is, if i could ask for anything" Esdeath said as the Emperor acknowledged this "Go on." The emperor said as Esdeath gave a slight nod "I would like trying to fall in love." She stated as this sent a wave of confusion towards both the emperor and the minister by them both gasping. "Yes, that sounds reasonable you are a single woman of marriageable age afterall, I will serve as your match maker. So what is your opinion of the minister here?" Asked the emperor as he raised his right hand a tiny bit and moved it toward the minister. "Huh, What?" Asked the Minister clearly surprised that he would be called out.
"The minister does not take very good care of himself, He will not live much longer." Said the general in a monotone voice. "Preposterous, I'm in perfect health!" Exclaimed the minister as he took a piece of meat and downed it in one go. "Well then will you be so kind as to tell us what you'd like." Finished the Minister as he put his hand behind his back once again. "First, let me warn you that i can be very selective. Very few men will come close to my expectations, once i'm ready i will present you with an extensive list of my preferences." Finished the General as shortly after she was dismissed.

Location:Night Raid base.
I felt the light from the sun hit my face as i turned away from it letting out a low growl of annoyance. As i turned i felt something in my hands...it was soft...very soft..and when i squished it with my hands it.....Squeaked making me jump as i did i saw what woke me up was a squeaky ball which i threw down to the ground grumbling "Where..am i again?..." I said in a whisper as i looked around the room i felt something around my left arm as i looked at it i saw bandages covering it. It had some...Blood?..on it as i touched my arm, the blood didn't seem fresh due to the bandages wrapped around my arm being dry. I walked toward the bedside and searched for some bandages. Unfortunately i didn't find any. "I'll have to ask later then..." I thought to myself as i walked toward the door before realizing i was shirtless. "ah, crap Mine will totally Kill me if i went out there shirtless...Although...it would be a funny reaction...she might kill me...but i mean won't it be entertaining for you readers?" (SHUT IT (Y/N)!) I smirked to myself as i opened the door and as i walked toward the dining room i cracked my neck and my arms as i let out a yawn. When i came inside the dining room Mine was there she had a few bandages here and there since i didn't finish healing her yet. "morning!" i said with a smile as i waved toward the girls, In the dining room was Akame, Mine aswell as Tatsumi he was in the kitchen though.
"Morning (Y/n)!" said both Tatsumi and Akame as Mine was focused on eating her food i grabbed some water and sat down on the table "So...Mine are you feeling better?" I asked the Pink haired Tsundere. "Idiot I'm the one who's supposed to ask you tha-" as she was talking however she looked up at me. She dropped her spoon and had her jaw wide open "W-what are you doing?!" She yelled at me as i tilted my head feigning innocence "What do you mean Mine?" I asked her as her hand and eye started twitching "Shi-" before i could finish my sentence she slapped me Hard in the face as i was sent flying into the wall "PERVERT!!!" She yelled blushing as she tried to stabilize her breathing.
"Yet, You were the one who looked at me so...Doesn't that make you the pervert?.." I asked her as she stomped toward me i closed my eyes preparing for the worst..but what happened next shocked me. She hugge- she slapped me again. Yes. Again. "Oww!!" I said rubbing my cheek as i felt the rage of a thousand suns hit my face. But then i felt a pair of arms wrap around me "Though..Thank you for saving me and Sheele..I guess..You aren't as much of a pervert as i thought." She said as she quickly let go of me and turned away blushing "Aww, how sweet...What's next your gonna kiss me?" I said jokingly as she huffed and walked away "I didn't here a no~" i said giggling.
I felt a hand on my head as i was still on the ground "Don't make fun of Mine too much okay (Y/n)?" said Akame in her usual monotone voice i pouted as i gave her a nod "Fine...For now..." I whispered the last part as i smirked evilly.
I looked at Akame with puppy dog eyes "You don't hate me do you?" I asked her and she shook her head "Eat." She said as she pushed me toward the table.
Change P.O.V Esdeath
I was walking around the palace with minister Honest beside me, as we walked i decided to have a little 'small talk' "You know, It's strange i don't normally take interest in anything besides war and bloodshed" i said toward the minister in which he grew a curious expression. "oh, We're talking about love i presume?" Asked the minister as he had his arms behind him.
"I don't understand it myself, but i feel a desperate need for romance." I finished as i continued to stare ahead of me not giving a side glance toward the minister.
"Desire for the opposite sex is something all living creatures feel, i don't know wether to use the word romance in your case." Said the Minister in a sort of mocking tone at the end but i paid no mind to him as i continued walking. "It's interesting yet it's still an animalistic instinct. But for the moment i shall channel all my energy into elminating night raid." I said as at the end a smile slowly formed on my face.
"ah, while we're on the subject, I've come up with a new idea i think you might like" Minister Honest begun as the screen faded to black.
(Y/n) P.O.V
Location:Night Raid base
Night time.
I squirmed around in bed as i felt someone hugging me, i turned my head to find Akame resting her head on my shoulder as she wrapped her arms around me, the moonlight shone on her porcelain skin. I smiled at her as i wrapped my arm around her. "What the hell happened to me last night..." I whispered to myself as i shook my thoughts away i slowly drifted to sleep.
Small timeskip again.
I woke up to find Tatsumi and Bulat Training with Akame standing by on the side with a wooden sword in her hands i whistled as i walked towards her making her turn to me. "(Y/n)? Good morning." She said with a soft smile as i waved at her. "Hand me the sword?" I asked her as she nodded and tossed it to me i smirked as i appeared behind Tatsumi and gave him one strike to the side. He went flying as he tumbled in the ground. I vanished again and Appeared behind Bulat, Before i could attack him he already sent an attack of his own making me block his attack.
When our two Training weapons collided a shockwave went out to the amount of force we exerted i smiled as Bulat gave me a smirk. "Good reflexes...But unfortunately..Not good enough." I said with my smile as he looked confused for a second before he fell to one knee. "Your probably as fast as Akame!" Bulat said as i shook my head "I think she's much faster than me. Though i think i could last longer due to my stamina." (Wink wink Nudge nudge.)
Timeskip AGAIN.
We all stood around the main room of the base as Najenda was explaining something to us i looked over at Sheele and saw she still had some wounds aswell, "i'll have to fix that up later.." I thought to myself as i tuned back in to whay Najenda was saying. "Esdeath has taken the northern tribe and has now returned to the capital." She begun as she took a cigarette from the case as she looked toward Leone "Leone i would like you to make your way to the capital and figure out what general Esdeath is up to." She told Leone.
The said girl saluted to her in her usual care free manner "You got it! I've been waiting to see what that chixk was like!" She said sounding very excited. "she's a disturbed psychopath obsessed with killing, Don't be careless." As she said this i i chuckled "So...Basically like everyone in this empire?" I said crossing my arms. "Alright don't worry!" She said smirking with a slight bit of a crazed look in her eyes as Najenda Lit her cigarette. "also ever since her arrival in the capital there's been an increase in assassinations of imperial officials. As of today four officers and sixty one bodyguards have been murdered, what conerns me is these flyers going around saying that night raid was resoonsible for the homicides" she said raising a piece of paoer with Night raids symbol on it.
"So they're trying to stick the whole thing on us huh?" Bulat said crossing his arms and slightly bending over. "But doesn't this sort of stuff get straightened out? Those posters don't really look all that legit." Tatsumi said as we all looked toward Najenda for an answer. "That's how most people thought about it at first. But oublic opinion is starting to change." She said as Tatsumi asked again "But why?" "all of the victims had first rate guards when the crimes were committed they couldn't have been overpowered by ordinary thugs." Said Najenda answering Tatsumi's question. "so basically these guys are going after the big fish on purpose only a few people could pull that off." Mine said as Akame nodded in agreeance "Only us and people who are equally skilled could pull that off." I said "It's safe to assume a teo things, they probably have imperial arms and are working for Esdeath." Najenda Said.
"What is she trying to accomplish?" tatsumi asked as Bulat answered him "She's trying to trick us she wants to lure us out in the open so that she could strike." Bulat finished as Najenda started speaking again "Now that we know it's a trap i want to throw one more thing out there the people they're assassinating are all competent individuals who disagree with the minister's policies and recognize the need for revolution, After we create the new nation allies like them would be crucial to it's success, to put it simply we cannot afford to continue losing them. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts." She finished as i coughed "Not like i'm a prince or anything that could help form an ally with you and my father but whatever-" i said in a hushed voice. "(Y/n)." Said a voice as i turned i found Akame giving me a sort of death glare that looked more cute than scary.
"right right..." I said rubbing the back of my head, "So i'd like to hear the thoughts of everyone here." She said as i looked at my arm "I mean, I'm up for a fight. And if Esdeath wants a war...Well..then you can expect me to bring her down!" I said smirking as Tatsumi started talking i heard a faint ringing behind me as i looked toward the door going out. "excuse me." I said as i walked away from the group and i followed the sound to Akane's and My room when i went inside i saw...PATRICK STAR AND SPONGEBOB MAKING OUT?!
For fucks sake (Y/n) BAD!
AGAIN, Lights, Camera's action!
Take two.
As i went to the door i saw a red light creeping through underneath the door i opened it to find ragnarok was floating in the air emitting a red light as Red Vines spread around the area it was at. "Food...Kill...." A voice said as i turned my head in every direction before my eyes landed back on the sword "Your.. talking?...I thought it was just me imagining things when you talked..." "Human...Kill..." The sword said as it let out a roar toward me as it glew even more red.
I looked at the sword as i looked at my arm "What's...Happening to me?..." I asked it..i know..insane asking a sword rig- "You...No..human...Marked..
Monster." The sword said as i felt my arm heat up "Host...more power...feed..human." The sword said although it isn't perfect it could speak. "You want me to feed you more humans for more power?..." As i said this the sword glew more red as a sign saying yes.
I stared at the sword for a second before i took it's sheath and grabbed it from mid air i then put it back inside the sheath as i sighed "I can't believe i'm doing this.." I said as i went out yet again..To hunt.
Chapter End! I know..Not very eventful except For Esdeath entering the fray, But next chapter most likely will have more action...
Anyaays, I still have to figure out what to do for Seven deadly sins. So Ciao!
