--[Esdeath Mansion]--

A small carriage passed by the gates of the Mansion as it finally reached the entrance. As soon as the carriage reached the gates, three people flashed in front of the carriage and kneeled in front of it.

"Welcome back general Esdeath. Sir Syura is waiting in the guest room. We stayed within the Empire in case Night Raid or Shadow Garden tried to attack the capital. We will soon begin our mission to hunt the previous prime minister as soon as you order."

As they continued kneeling, Esdeath slowly walked out of the compartment, her body was bloody. The blood covered her hair, bandages, and clothes, but even with all that blood over her body, her eyes remained sharp.

"Good work, Daidara, General Liver and Nyau. I will handle it from here on.", With a nonchalant voice, she waved her hands as the other people within the carriage walked out of it, as she began to walk toward the room Syura was in.

"...", Looking at Seryuu walking out of it, along with an unconscious Kurome, they narrowed their eyes. Each of them collectively had one single thought. 'The was might be unsuccessful. All of the Jaegers have died...'

Thinking so, their face hardened, realizing what could have happened if they had gone with Esdeath for the war. Although Liver had no problem dying an honorable death for the Empire, the other two people were not so happy with such a thought.

"...", Ignoring the three people who had now stood up from the ground, Seryuu, looked lost as she followed Esdeath.

*Thuk* *Thuk* *Thuk* *Thuk*

The sound of their boot clicking against the floor echoed within the empty mansion as Esdeath finally reached the door to the guest room.

"Hmm...?", Syura hearing the door open, looked over his shoulder toward the door in a nonchalant smile, but as soon as he saw Esdeath covered head to toe in blood, his smile faded away as he slowly stood up.

"General Esdeath...! To Think you would-Khuk!?", Before Syura could speak further, he felt his vision spin, as he saw a body without a head. 'What just happened...?", Before he could even understand what happened, his eyes began to cloud up as his consciousness vanished.

"Heh.", Esdeath scoffed as she looked over the now twitching body lying on the floor and lowered down and snatched away the hand-sized pendant with a special purple sign on one side of it from the body. "[Shambhala] will be a fine weapon against my enemies..."

Esdeath held the pendent tightly within her palm as her mind started to head an illusory whalings of unknown. It was faint, yet distinctive. 'It' was trying to consume her mind.

"Hmup!", Esdeath closed her eyes as she grunted for an instant as her mind focused again. This time with a bit of a strain. "It seems like my body needs more time to recover before I could use two Teigus at the same time..."

As her body got used to the power of two Teigus being used together, her gaze silently looked out from the window, looking directly inside the carriage that brought her here, looking directly at the young man tied in it through the opening of the cloth covering the rear end.

"...", Esdeath's eyes lost their glimmer for a second as she gained it back instantly. An emotionless face replaced her previous smile. The feeling of 'love' that she previously wanted to experience seems to have faded.
