Book 7: Chapter 18: Emergency Order

Uehara no Shenzu was not in a good situation, all she had on now were torn cloth strips that barely covered her chest and thighs. She was currently hung on a cross by chains and locked in the dungeon of the Bureau of Justice.

This night, light was brought deep into the tunnel as a group of people went to the deepest part of the dungeon. In this deepest part of the dungeon, the chains and torture racks were all inscribed with runes and the cage was made of grade seven stone and grade eight wood. This place was made to imprison criminals of the permanence realm and even those of the early stages of the throne realm.

Clank— The cell door swung open.

Shenzu raised her head, her face pale yet flushed. She gave a cold grin, “Heh, you don’t have to waste your time, I won’t say anything.”

In the lead was Fujiwara no Arima and a huge samurai wearing exquisite samurai armor. This man had his eyes covered by a black cloth yet radiated an aura that made even Shenzu tremble.

Fujiwara no Arima who served as the minister of justice spoke up, “Not bad miss Shenzu. Today we aren’t here to question you, but a certain lord admires your perseverance. Men, let her down!”

Although Shenzu had been imprisoned for so long, there was no weakness in her attitude, “What games are you playing?”

“No questions, just follow us. Though, you should abandon any thoughts of escape, Lord Minamoto Ichiro Genshin is more than enough to subdue you.”

“Genshin?” Shenzu’s heart shook as she lowered her head to hide her sneer. She knew exactly who wanted to see her now.

If that man wanted her to die, then she would definitely be unable to live. But why would he want her brought before him, what did that man want1?

Ayabe port was dark and filled with ruined houses. This civilian quarter was filled with just a few ruined houses, a weedy wasteland filled with a few farm tools.

Here, many female cavalry soldiers rested around a few bonfires.

“Look, that woman, how did she dress up like that?”

“So what? We’re all women here, and isn’t Lord Shiina wearing the same thing?”

“Hmph, who knows if she wanted to wear that.”

“How, how could that be possible...I...I was feeling fretful, so...I came out to feel the wind...”

“There’s no need to wear that though?”

“You, you think I’m willing to wear this?” Lily’s face was burning up.

From afar, Shiina Airi walked up with a few female calvary soldiers, “Ehh, hooked up so easily?”

“Huh?”

“To think Miss Kagami really wore that out, looks like Miss Kagami is a really incredible woman.” Shiina Airi’s outfit wasn’t anywhere better than what Lily was wearing, yet she still laughed at her.

“Isn’t this outfit what you the prison guard ordered me to wear? You think I like wearing this? Being all shameless like you?”

Shiina didn’t mind Lily’s accusation at all, “Then I’ll tell you now, your detention is lifted.”

“Eh?” Lily was overjoyed.

“Immediately report to the commander.”

To look for her right now, they must be preparing to send her off to find sister Uesugi.”

Impatiently she ran off, she didn’t even bother changing clothes. All Lily did was grab a silken scarf from her mirror space and wrap it around her waist as she ran towards the main formation.

“Sister Kagami...” Shizuru whispered as she looked at Lily’s back.

“Commander!” Within a few moments, Lily had skidded in front of Makoto.

“Lily? You, what are you wearing5?”

“Ah!” Embarrassment rushed into her heart as she wondered if the pink-purple scarf made her look even more alluring, but the situation was urgent, she had no time to care about such things.

“That... no, Lily, I...under the orders of the Cloistered Emperor, you are given an emergency military order!”
