3rd Person POV

Alexander was on his way down south, focused on defeating those who worshipped Khorne. But within the capital, a nervous Wave was reporting to Esdeath in her office. He was hiding his nervousness, after all, he saw her just behind Alexander before he left. There she sat behind her desk, Alexander's bolter resting atop of it.

Esdeath: So tell me Wave..... what were you doing out there?

Wave: I had sighted Akame just after she killed General Nouken. I gave chase and followed her outside the capital where I fought her. Then Alexander arrived and allowed her to escape.....

Esdeath: I see, so Akame slipped through your fingers

Wave: My deepest apologies

Esdeath: You forget, you're currently in charge of palace security. What goes on in the capital itself is basically outside your jurisdiction. The blame falls on Nouken and his troops' fault for becoming prey

Wave: Regardless, I'm still rather disappointed with myself.....

Esdeath: There's no reason to be disappointed Wave. Now that Budo is gone, there is no one capable of crossing swords with me like that. Apart from Akame who wields Murasame and my dear Alexander.....

Wave: Eh?

Esdeath: I just can't wait..... to let loose with this power I've prepared for this battle. I'm so excited thinking about it, it's even thrilling me right now.....

Wave: COMMANDER! I..... I want to become stronger as well! PLEASE TRAIN ME!

Esdeath: No can do

Wave: Eh?! That's rather blunt!

Esdeath: Your strength is at its apex Wave, you're already at your maximum limit

Wave: How can we be certain unless we push my limits? If there is a limit, I'll push past it!

Esdeath: Oh? Well after such a heartfelt speech like that, I have no choice but to train you. However the battle starts in about a week or two

Wave: Geh?!

Esdeath: If you wish to become stronger in this short amount of time, the only methods available to us are very extreme.....

Wave: D-do you mean drugs?

Esdeath: Drugs wouldn't cut it for what we need. We're going to go even further than that, intensive training and delving into something I acquired.....

Esdeath (thoughts): Something much more valuable than his bolter.....

Wave: THANK YOU SO MUCH COMMANDER!

Esdeath: "Anyways, you're here at the perfect time actually. Emperor Makoto just sent over a feast in recognition of our services. But I don't need all this, so eat up" she said whilst getting up from her chair and pulling back a curtain
