“Come standing.” Haru helped the fat man to stand up because he didn't hurt him too much.
The fat man was quite in pain, but he was fine. He knew that Haru could kill him, but he did nothing. “K – You are really General Esdeath's husband?”
“Are you also really a cousin of the Honest Prime Minister?” ask Haru.
“….”
The fat man observed Haru from top to bottom. He had to admit that this young man was quite handsome and any woman wanted to date this young man. Despite looking very young, he thought that General Esdeath liked the younger ones. He did not believe it blindly at first and said, “How about we take a step back and drink tea to make peace between the two of us?”
“Why not? It's my first time coming to the capital,” Haru said.
“Good, I will treat you something nice,” said the fat man and brought Haru to the VIP room on the 2nd floor. He ignored his bodyguards who had turned into dead people because he could look for another bodyguard again in the future.
Ieyasu and Sayo were stunned when they saw the development of things happening in front of them. They had not expected Haru who was punching the fat man to suddenly become so familiar with each other.
‘What happened?’
“So you are from the East?” The fat man asked curiously.
Haru nodded and sipped his tea slowly. He had to admit this tea had quite a unique aroma and it tasted quite good.
“Where did you meet him?” The fat man asked.
“We have met each other in the North and we have to decide to get married at the border before,” Haru replied while drinking tea quietly.
“North,” muttered the fat man and nodded. He remembered that General Esdeath was in the north now to fight a rebellion or something.
“My name is Kasugano Haruka, what is your name?” ask Haru.
“Iocal. That's my name,” said Iokal. “Why are you here? Why aren't you with General Esdeath?”
Haru put a bitter expression on her face and said, “You know how difficult it is to have such a strong woman?” He began to tell her about the difficulties of being Esdeath's husband. He told them that it was difficult to maintain his dignity as a man when his woman had a better career than him and was sometimes tortured by him. His acting is very good and will make everyone believe that he is really Esdeath's husband.
Iokal sighed and nodded. “It is difficult to have such a strong woman.” She understood Haru's bitter expression because women are stronger, it's hard to maintain a man's self-esteem, especially when your wife is the strongest military general in the country.
“That's why I thought of coming to the Capital to make my own career to show the woman,” Haru said with a serious expression.
Iokal looked at Haru and thought that it would be good to have a relationship with Esdeath's husband. He knew that Esdeath was strong enough and from the way Haru killed his bodyguards he knew that Haru was strong enough for a child his age. “Do you want to join the Imperial Police?”
“Police Empire?” Haru looked at Iokal and looked very interested.
“Yes, I know someone in the Imperial Police and he can help you get into the ranks easily,” Iokal said with a smile.
Haru raised his eyebrows and looked somewhat doubtful. “You're serious?”
Haru looked at Iokal for a while and said, “If that really happens then I won't forget your help.” He took out the money he got from the caravan earlier and said, “You can use this to smooth the process.”
Iokal smiled and was not ashamed to see that much money. He was increasingly convinced that the young man in front of him was General Esdeath's husband. “Good, I will prepare to help you soon.”
“Thank you, I've killed your bodyguard, do you need me to help you get back to your home?” ask Haru.
Iokal shook his head and said, “Nobody dares attack me.” He looked at Haru and said, “Besides you.” He was thinking of getting a stronger bodyguard for himself.
Haru shrugged and said, “Alright, let's take a step back and reconcile between the two of us.”
Iokal nodded and said, “We are brothers now.”
“Sister,” Haru said with a smile and wrapped his hand around the shoulder of the Iokal.
They spoke for a while before Iokal returned to speak with his relationship with the Imperial Police to enter the back door. After all, it was not something extraordinary and many people had done it to enter the army from the back door into a high-ranking officer immediately.
Haru looked at the Iokal who was walking away from the restaurant with a smile from the 2nd floor of the restaurant and thought that he was very lucky to meet the cousin of the Honest Prime Minister. He was also surprised that his lies as Esdeath's husband were so believable. He was certain that he would be killed once the mad woman returned from the battlefield and knew that someone had used her name to enter the Imperial Police.
Haru knew that it was dangerous, but the advantage of this status was also immense and allowed him to improve his status within the Empire more smoothly. He shook his head and sipped tea on his cup which had become lukewarm. He thought that it was better to think about the problem when Esdeath had returned to the Capital.
“Haru!”
Haru looked at Ieyasu and Sayo who had come to the 2nd floor to meet him. “Sayo, Ieyasu.”
“Do you know that person?” ask Ieyasu.
“It was someone who connected with the Imperial Police,” Haru said.
“What?!” They were surprised when they heard it.
“I have bribed him to help me enter the Imperial Police, do you want to come too?” ask Haru.
“...” Ieyasu and Sayo have complex expressions on their faces. They looked at Haru, a young man who looked very good, and had a complex personality. They were not sure what to say after hearing his question.
“Your goal is to collect large amounts of money to send to your village, right?” said Haru. “If that's the case, why don't you work with me in the Imperial Police, then when you get enough money, you will get out of the Imperial Police and return to your village.”
“...” Ieyasu was silent for a moment. He knows that he is stupid and meeting Haru is his luck. He nodded and said, “I'll follow you, Haru.” He needed money to send him back to his village and following him was a shortcut to it.
“How about you, Say?” ask Haru.
Sayo did not care much about their conversation because she was more concerned when she heard that Haru was the husband of Esdeath. His heart is quite complex when he hears a boy that he has a good impression is the husband of someone, but he also knows that he needs money to send him back to his village. He looked at Haru and said, “I'll follow you, Haru.”
“Alright, you two will be my subordinates later,” Haru said patting the chair telling them to sit beside him. He sipped his tea once more while looking at the castle in the center of the Capital and knew that he had entered into a shortcut to his conquest.
