KIKIYO
identity known

Tora was very curious so she followed kikiyo from the middle imperial capital to this shack.

Tora immediately rushed out and saluted kikiyo, she did not want to be the same fate as the man in the brothel earlier.

"Honor to the lady, forgive my bravery, I've heard of Mr. Hugo serving a young miss going to the western empire first and the lady is very similar to that woman, so it made me curious and followed the lady up here."

When at the brothel, Tora who followed kikiyo only saw the silhouette of the back of the kikiyo so she did not recognize that in front of her now was a middle imperial consort.

"Well, so you don't know who I am?."

Tora just shook her head.

"Are you following me alone?."

"Yes, Donna, I'm alone."

After kikiyo made sure that it was true that Tora was alone, she began to move her hand to open her head covering, after which the head covering was opened.

Tora was very surprised to see the face of kikiyo who turned out to be very familiar,

"Hah, your highness the empress,." said Tora with a big voice until the two women could hear her words.

While the two women were instantly stunned for a moment, just where could the woman who had just managed to injure them to such an extent was a middle imperial consort who was famous for being just a woman from a brothel.

"Torra."

"Yes, your highness the empress."

"You're very brave to interfere in my personal affairs."

Instantly Tora's body became stiff and gulped his saliva roughly.

"Hamba doesn't mean, your majesty, I wouldn't dare, really."

Tora put on a face now.

"I know you're curious to see Hugo standing behind me, right at the meeting yesterday?."

"Yes, lady Hugo is my lord, he appointed me to be the leader of the organization of the moon's vassals for this central imperial region and as he stood behind the glorious body of the empress, the servant,,."tora's speech was cut off when she looked at Kikiyo who had placed her index finger in front of her own lips.

Tora was even more surprised, it turned out that her guess had been right about who their real leader was, unexpectedly she was a woman.

Kikiyo immediately turned to look at the two women, with her hands still clasping her sword, kikiyo approached them.

"You guys, why do you want to live?."

The two women immediately raised their faces to stare at kikiyo, the older brother did not respond, but the younger sister immediately stared at kikiyo while nodding her head.

The brother wanted to protest but was denied by his own sister because maybe this was better than dying, their opponent was not worth what they got.

"We were simply told, our noble consort did kill to be paid, yesterday we were asked to kill one of the families of the middle imperial literature minister."

"That's all?."

"Well, what do you mean by noble consort?."

"Who else is your next target, Hem."

"We don't have any more orders, your highness the empress."

"Hem, liar."kikiyo directly pierced deeper into the wound that was in the woman's arms.

"Stop, please don't hurt my sister anymore."

Kikiyo looked at them with disgust.

"You same-sex women are disgusting, dare to lie to me, the punishment is only one, die."

The older brother could only stare sadly at kikiyo.

"So, in your opinion, now what should I do to you two?, killing you guys is so easy for me, but if you can be of use to me it might be considered."

The two women now have no choice but to side with Kikiyo, if they still want to see tomorrow.

"Yes, we will follow your highness empress from now on."

"Hem, Tora." said kikiyo

"Yes, your highness the empress."

"Bring them into the hut, I'll treat them."

Tora just nodded her head to understand, then walked towards the woman who had vomited blood, then kikiyo approached the sister of the woman and gave the antidote from the poison earlier.

It didn't take long, the woman's body began to gradually improve.

"Thank you for the noble kindness of the empress." said the woman while paying her respects.

"Who's your name?."

"My name is Hima, who was my sister's name is Hira,Hem I did not think it turned out to be a very beautiful middle imperial consort."

"Oh, of course , but I still like men so don't ever put your heart on me."

Hima showed a confused face.

"Actually I like men as well noble but brother is always angry when he finds out I'm related to a man, so he forces me to do that with him." Hima said with a shy face

"Do you think I'm a believer and will sympathize with your story?" said kikiyo in a cynical tone

Hima was immediately stunned for a moment, actually the noble imperial consort was in the middle of having a heart and feelings no matter, it was very cold she thought Hima.

"I don't mean like that noble empress, but I just want to share the story, I see, hehe." said Hima with a plain face

"But I don't care so it's better not to tell, I just want to find information about the murder in the private residence of the middle minister of imperial literature, others I'm not interested in."

From afar, Kikiyo sees that Tora has returned from her duties and that there is one more woman she will take into the hut.

After arriving in the hut, kikiyo began to heal Hira's body, while Tora just watched, Tora was very amazed by the expertise possessed by his lord.

After finishing healing the two women, kikiyo was already unwilling to waste any more time.

"Is your cause hired to make the remaining people who support the reign of emperor Yamato feel threatened?."

Hira was still thinking about answering, while Hima just stared at Tora from earlier,Tora who felt being stared at was immediately dark-faced towards Hima, Tora did not want any mistakes in this task.

Kikiyo was furious, she immediately slashed Hira's neck to a break, which made Hima surprised with her mouth open.

"Curtain, still lying to me apparently."

Kikiyo saw Hira's facial expression earlier, she wanted to lie back, it seemed like the second chance that had been given by kikiyo had become useless.

Hima stared fearfully with a trembling body, only this time did she see a woman who was greater than her brother.

Kikiyo looked at Hima.

"You, answer my question, during this time did only Hira conduct every meeting for all the orders to kill by hiring your services?."

"Yes, your majesty the empress, all this time only the elder brother negotiated with them, I only come along while doing the task." said Hima with her mouth trembling with fear.
