Chapter 55: Unwanted Announcements

"Esdeath," an advisor to the Emperor said as the sound of the Prime Minsters crunching of meat echoed within the hollow confines of the throne chamber. Knelt before him and the Emperor, far at the bottom of the staircase, knelt the aforementioned general. Her head held high looking up to where the Prime minister and Emperor were. Surrounding her on either side were the royal advisors. "What news do you have about these new danger beasts?" the same advisor asked.

"While I do not know of the true origins of these new danger beasts. I have learned they hold both human and danger beast dna-"

The advisors all frowned, "you mean to say they are artificial then?" another abruptly said, jerking in place as Esdeath glared at him for interrupting her mid-sentence.

"As you so 'kindly' interrupted me. Why don't you finish off my report?" She scowled in his direction, but he didn't respond utterly frozen in place in fear of Esdeath. "No? the keep your mouth shut while I speak you ingratiated cur. Am I understood?" The advisor rapidly nodded for his life.

"Good. Now as I was saying before the irritance so kindly stopped me from speaking. I believe that these beasts were part of Dr. Stylish's research. Run was capable of discovering a hidden laboratory to the south of the capitals walls. In there he discovered numerous reports and bodies similar in the appearance to these new danger beasts in various states."

"I always had my feeling that man was up to no good." One of the taller advisors said, grunting annoyedly.

"And what of their numbers? Do you know if they are growing in number?"

Esdeath shook her head, "No, from reports Run found all of these beasts have been sterilized as a side effect of the transformation. This coming along with a complete loss of any genitalia they may have once had. With Dr. Stylish dead, I believe there is no way for any more to be made."

"Grrrgh…" Everyone's attention was dragged to Honest as he growled, looking very annoyed by the fact.

"That's good." The Emperor nodded, "we can't be having these beasts running around. Your Jaegers have been hunting them down, haven't they?"

"Correct. If all is going well they should currently be patrolling a village to the east which is to be the last of their hunts before returning within the week. The beasts have proven to be weak when alone and only a moderate threat when in numbers."

"Hah!?" An advisor exclaimed, "a moderate threat!? They've killed thousands in just a few weeks! That is more than a 'moderate threat' isn't it!?" he argued.

"To my Jaegers that is." She added scowling at the man, "but just for you, I'll call them a measly threat without even thinking about because they are so pathetically weak that a single of MY pets could annihilate a hundreds of them single handedly while you would find your body so royally torn to pieces that even the gods would not be able to tell your balls from your toes." With every word she spoke ice grew upon the advisors body, growing from his feet up to his knees, engulfing his chest. Silencing his screams for mercy until all that was left free was his nose and the upper portion of his head.

"To think I have had to take my pets off of their duties to deal with such a measly threat," Esdeath shook her head, "I had wished to take my Jaegers out on specialized training missions. But it seems I severely underestimated the capability of our very defences to be bested on so many occasions by such, pathetic threats."

She could see her words irritated them to no ends, how she mocked the very forces they rose from the dirt, from the nothingness. Daring to even call them pathetic was like sacrilege to them, especially the few who actively invested in the imperial guard.

Though none dared to speak up or face a similar fate to their frozen council member.

"It is quite worrying that our forces couldn't handle themselves. Not only in terms of these danger beasts. Even with Night Raid we loose many soldiers. Add that in with the appearance of this new vigilante within the capitals wall. It truly does make our forces out to be weak." Honest stroked his scraggly beard with his greasy fingers. "Is there an update on this vigilante?"

"No sir." The advisor in control of the Capitals information said. "We have had men interrogating victims and possible witnesses. But all information we gather has remained the same. A cloaked figure rescued them after killing their attacker using some form of sword. The vigilantes face remains unknown."

Honest grumbled to himself, "put a bounty out on this vigilante. We need to top this pathetic farce of a so called hero running amok."

"Understood sir. It shall be done." They bowed at the hip.

"Is there any other news?" Honest looked between the advisors and Esdeath, getting repeated 'no, sirs' and shaken head. "Then this meeting is adjorn-"

"Ah! Wait a moment Honest." The child Emperor hastily interrupted him drawing a frown from Honest. "General," the Emperor's eyes sparkled, "how has your lovers treatment been going? Has he shown any signs of returning to us?" he asked.

Esdeath's lips parted into a small '0' shape before her lips curled up into a toothy grin, "not in the slightest your Imperial Majesty. Over these last month I have kept him locked in solitary await for positi-" the taste of bile ran up Esdeath's throat, into her mouth. Her eyes falling to slants as she tried to hold the rising bile down. But it seemed intent on coming out no matter how much she attempted to hold it down.

Hunching over, Esdeath held a hand over her stomach while bile and remnants of her days lunch came to cover the ground.

"GENERAL!" the Emperor screamed.

"GUARDS GET THE MEDICS NOW! THE GENERAL HAS BEEN POISONED!" The advisor closest to the door shouted at the top of his lungs while Esdeath continued voiding her stomach over the Palace floor.

The bile soon coming to stop but Esdeath still gagging with a hand over her mouth. Brows curled in faint happiness. It seemed the thing she had been waiting for had come earlier than expected.

"Ma'am I need you to lie d-"

"Silence. I am perfectly fine." She was able to say to the medics with a hoarse voice and dull sting at the back of her bile coated throat.

"Don't be so hard-headed Esdeath. Allow them to treat you. I will not be having my best general weakening in my presence." Honest spoke aloud.

With a snort, Esdeath Wiped he mouth down with the back of her hand while also bringing herself to her feet. Looking down with a strange, sadistic glee to the mess of bile and undigested food. "Do not worry yourself with me, Prime Minister. I have not been poisoned." She cupped a hand by her belly and looked up to Honest and the Emperor.

"It seems I am with child." The room turned a few hundred degrees colder, not a single one of them caused by Esdeaths hand.

"WHAT!?" the advisors screeched.

"Really!?" The Emperor sparkled.

*Squeelch* Honest's meat shank slipped from his grubby palms, splattering to the ground while his mouth hung open disbelievingly.

"Do tell me you are pulling my foot. You are a general. You cannot be with child." Sweat accumulated across Honest's body, nervous at the second new variable that could destabilize his control over Esdeath. First this 'Parc Evan's' and now a child?

Esdeath laughed, "I do not 'pull feet,' Prime Minister. I am indeed with child. That was my first time dealing with mothers flu. It appears to be more powerful than I first imagined," she curled her hand into a fist and pressed it against her mouth in thought. "I will have to train myself to resist these… 'urges' I suppose they are called?"

Throughout her short speech, Honest's face grew paler and paler.

"I am so glad for you General! Am I to assume the father is the very Parc you are attempting to return to us?"

"Indeed he is," she sweetly smiled. So sweet that terror flickered through all but Honest and the Emperor.

"When? No. A better question. Why would you do something like this at now of all times!? Night Raid- OUR ENEMIES! Not a single one will grant you mercy even if you are with child! What you have done is idiotic! You are threatening the very safety of the Empire! With your absence to care for this child will grant our enemies the perfect time to attack and rend this Empire's control from m- the Emperors hands! Tell me your reason for this foolish decision Esdeath. NOW!"

"Honest. My ears…" The Emperor whined holding his hands over his ears in pain."

Esdeath frowned at Honest's near flub. Though she may be loyal to the Emperor, she knew better than any that Honest was the true one in control. And by proxy that brought her loyalties onto him.

"Calm yourself, Prime Minister. This child is merely a means to ensure Parc accepts his place as a loyal member of the Empire and as my future spouse."

"And just how is that!?" Spittle and food chunks flew through the air layering the steps with gunk.

"My love has a derision for his father who abandoned him and his mother when he was young later his mother went missing. He has experienced the difficulties of life as an orphan and will not allow any child of his to live a life with that."

Esdeath cupped her belly with both hands, "with this child inside me, I have brought him beneath me. He will do everything in his power to ensure my safety and should that happen to involve protecting the Empire, he will do just that."

If that was supposed to quell Honest's anger, it failed spectacularly.

"That does not change the fact that the Empire will soon find itself missing its most powerful General!"

"And you've gained another." Esdeath calmly replied with a cruel smile. "Parc is powerful. And once he is trained my me and my Jaegers, he will only grow stronger. By then perhaps he will even be able to overpower myself."

"And a child is going to stop him from turning around and starting a coup!?" Honest Fumed.

"Yes."

It was such a simple answer that it left Honest at a loss for words.

"You've lost it Esdeath. You may have spelt the doom of the Empire." He was not dull enough to believe that Parc would ever rejoin the Empire, especially after all he had seen while working for Night Raid. If he truly grew to the point of overpowering Esdeath, he would find himself in a difficult situation.

"Don't be so dramatic, Honest." The Emperor huffed. "It's only temporary. Once the child is old enough, the General will return to us, will you not?"

"Of course. My body cannot live without serving the Empire. A simple child will not stop me from fulfilling my lifes purpose."

"See!" the Emperor exclaimed to Honest. "You don't have to get so overbearing Honest. All will be fine."

"You're being naïve, Emperor. We are in a time of war. We cannot risk loosing our most valuable asset."

"Yes, yes," the Emperor rolled his eyes, locking them onto Esdeath. "General. How long do you believe it will take to bring him to your own strength."

"By the time this child leaves my belly, I will have Parc trained enough that he may challenge super class danger beasts single handedly."

Her voice filled with utmost confidence that seemed to say she ensured it would happen.

"Then I won't keep you. You have my permission to focus your efforts on training Parc."

"Thank you, your majesty." Esdeath bowed her head, hiding the manic expression on her face.

"You are excused. I am sure Parc will wish to hear of the good news.

Esdeath chuckled to herself, "I am sure he will."

"Ahhh… So angry… so angry…" Krave chewed on his lips, tearing through flesh as he scuttled along the ceiling of the throne room. "How dare he corrupt her greatness's body with his seed… How dare he…" His voice laced with pure anger, his usual grin and laughter gone, replaced by scathing grumbles of hatred.

"Ahhh~" But slowly it returned to him, his glazgow smile growing wider by the second, "I will test him your Greatness~ I will test him~ You will die corrupter~ you will die~ Ke…kekekakee~"
