And so, amidst the bustling preparations and joyous atmosphere, the wedding of Mika, Airmid, and Mellie commenced.

"Hold on! I haven't seen you all in a while, and suddenly you're getting married? Isn't this a bit too hasty?!" Gabriel emerged from her workshop, where she had been engrossed in her work, her voice laced with annoyance.

She disliked being left out of such an important event.

Such a joyous occasion, and she hadn't been involved in the preparations.

This naturally irked Gabriel.

However, beneath her annoyance was a genuine sense of happiness for them. She was genuinely happy for Mika, Airmid, and Mellie.

Although Yahweh also harbored affection for Mika, Gabriel, as a separate entity, didn't share the same possessive feelings.

Therefore, she had no intention of interfering.

This was also why Mellie wanted to resolve this matter here and now.

"Well, it all happened rather suddenly. I didn't anticipate this either," Mika said with a chuckle.

"So, you want me to officiate the wedding?" Gabriel asked, a playful grin spreading across her face as she transformed into her adult form, bathed in a brilliant white light.

"Of course!" Mika replied with a sincere nod.

"Excellent! I'm honored to accept this task."

...

...

With everything prepared, the wedding ceremony began.

Following Imperial tradition, Mika simultaneously married both Airmid and Mellie, becoming the first Emperor to take two empresses.

After a series of elaborate rituals, the three were escorted to their bedchamber for the final, intimate part of the ceremony.

Sitting on the bed, Mika, Airmid, and Mellie held hands, their faces flushed.

"From now on, we'll always be together," Mika declared earnestly.

"Yes," Airmid and Mellie replied softly.

Looking at their blushing faces, Mika smiled.

This must be what happiness feels like.

…

After the wedding and its consummation, Mika realized his daily life hadn't changed much. Becoming Empresses didn't mean Airmid and Mellie relinquished their positions as Grand General and Prime Minister.

The very next day, they returned to their respective duties.

The typical post-wedding bliss of newlyweds was absent. After all, they were far too familiar with each other.

Their relationship had merely lacked the official ceremony.

As for spending sweet moments together? They had shared countless such moments before.

As for post-coital discomfort? With Airmid, Orario's strongest healer, by their side, such concerns were irrelevant.

Therefore, apart from having two more people in his bed each night, Mika felt little had changed.

However, teasing Airmid with Mellie every night had become a new source of amusement. Compared to Mika and Mellie, who were quite experienced in such matters (especially in the dream world), Airmid was rather innocent.

Thus, she often found herself the target of their playful teasing, prompting her to exclaim in exasperation, "How are you two so skilled at this?!"

…

At Night Raid's headquarters, a meeting was underway.

"Alright, everyone, it's time for us to act!" Najenda announced with a smile.

At her words, the members of Night Raid perked up. Their long-awaited mission was finally about to begin.

Although Najenda had granted them a vacation, they continued to train diligently in preparation for this moment.

"Lubbock, share the intelligence you've gathered," Najenda said, turning to him.

"Yes, Boss."

Lubbock stepped forward and addressed the group. "After months of surveillance, the security at the protected estate outside the palace walls has become lax."

To reassure those under his protection, Mika had housed them in an estate outside the palace walls, making it easier to provide assistance.

"Besides the lax outer security, those criminals inside have also grown restless. Life within the protected estate has become tedious."

"Some have even risked their safety, sneaking out at night to indulge in the capital's pleasures."

"Really? The security is that lax? Could it be a trap?" Leone asked skeptically.

If those criminals could slip out undetected, the guards must be incompetent.

Such negligence seemed improbable.

"I thought the same initially," Lubbock continued. "But after further investigation, I discovered something else."

"It's not that the guards aren't aware of their actions; they simply don't care. They've likely been instructed to ignore anyone who leaves. Whether they live or die is of no concern to them."

"Considering that Prime Minister Mellie likely wants those criminals eliminated, I suspect the guards have been given orders to protect only those within the estate. Anyone who leaves does so at their own risk."

"I see. That makes sense," the others agreed with a nod.

"And with some successfully sneaking out without incident, more and more have grown bolder."

"However, they're not completely foolish. They've funded the construction of another estate nearby, where they gather nightly to indulge in their pleasures."

"And they've hired their own guards for this new estate."

Lubbock summarized, "Therefore, each night, those criminals are divided into two groups."

"One group, unable to bear confinement, leaves the Empire's protection, while the other remains within the protected estate."

"This means we'll have to split up."

"That's precisely the plan," Najenda confirmed. "We will divide into two teams. One will assassinate those outside the Empire's protection, while the other will launch a direct assault on those within."

"I've already decided on the teams."

"Mine and Lubbock will assassinate those outside the protected estate."

"The rest—Akame, Leone, Sheele, Bulat, and Susanoo—will assault those inside."

"The operation will commence three nights from now."

"Huh? Lubbock and I?" Mine asked, surprised by Najenda's arrangements.

Unlike the others, who often switched partners, Mine's partner was almost always Sheele.

"That's right," Najenda explained. "Those within the protected estate are guarded not only by ordinary soldiers but also by four Teigu users."

"Therefore, that operation requires a direct assault, and Sheele's abilities are crucial for its success."

"As for your target, it should be relatively straightforward. However, as a precaution, have Lubbock set traps around the area to prevent them from escaping."

"Once your task is complete, you can quickly reinforce the other team. The two locations aren't far apart."

"That's the plan."

"Understood," Mine nodded, accepting Najenda's explanation.

She always trusted Najenda's judgment; her earlier question was merely out of curiosity.

"Any other questions?" Najenda asked, looking at the others.

They remained silent.

"Excellent!"

"Then begin your preparations."

"Three nights from now, we strike. We must succeed!"

"Yes!" Night Raid responded in unison.

…

"Three nights from now…"

Mika chuckled as he considered the intelligence report from Night Raid's base.

He, too, wanted those criminals eliminated, but it couldn't be that easy.

"Summon the Captain of the Capital Guard, Tatsumi."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

An attendant quickly departed to relay Mika's command.

Soon, Tatsumi arrived.

"Big Brother, did you need something?" he asked curiously.

"Indeed," Mika said with a smile. "According to my intel, Night Raid will launch an attack against you in three days."

"Three days?" Instead of surprise, Tatsumi's face lit up with excitement.

"They're finally making their move!"

Night Raid had been quiet recently, leading Mika and the others to believe they had given up.

While they had been training to pass the time, boredom had set in.

Now that Night Raid was finally acting, Tatsumi was thrilled.

"Big Brother, can we finally have some real action?!"

"Of course," Mika chuckled. "And this time, I'll be joining the game."

Life as Emperor had become tedious; he relished the thought of a good fight.

Under the cloak of a moonless night, Night Raid stealthily approached the protected estate, making their final preparations.

"Is everyone ready?" Akame, the team leader for this operation, asked in a hushed tone.

"Ready!" came the whispered replies.

"Good. We'll wait for the signal."

The signal she referred to was the sound of Mine's gunshot.

According to Najenda's plan, they needed to strike simultaneously to catch their targets off guard.

"Those bastards are disgusting!" Mine muttered, observing the scene within the estate through her Teigu's scope.

The corrupt officials were indulging in wine, women, and song.

"Shouldn't Prime Minister Mellie do something about this?"

"There's nothing she can do," Lubbock explained. "Those women are their mistresses, legally acquired. And the food and wine were purchased with their own money."

"Even Mellie can't fault them for that."

"Tsk!" Mine clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"Then I'll send them to hell myself!"

With that, she aimed Pumpkin at one of the officials within the courtyard and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The target's head exploded in a shower of gore.

"Ahhh!"

"Night Raid! It's Night Raid!"

Panic erupted within the estate as the officials witnessed the gruesome death.

They scattered, fleeing toward the nearby protected compound.

But Mine wouldn't give them a chance.

Shot after shot rang out, each bullet finding its mark.

Despite her barrage, some officials managed to escape the courtyard, only to be stopped by a network of nearly invisible threads blocking their path.

Though there were gaps in the web, they had no time to navigate them.

Death was closing in.

Soon, the gunshots ceased.

All that remained were corpses.

From atop a distant building, Mine lowered her Teigu, satisfied.

"Excellent. Now to reinforce Akame and the others," Lubbock said with a grin.

…

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Akame shouted, leading the charge toward the protected compound.

Its proximity to the city walls meant they had to act swiftly.

They couldn't afford a prolonged battle.

Therefore, they pushed themselves to their limits.

Bulat and Susanoo led the charge.

Facing their overwhelming power, the guards were no match. They were easily dispatched.

Soon, the five members of Night Raid reached the compound's gates.

Just then, Tatsumi and his group emerged.

"You're finally here, Night Raid!" Tatsumi shouted excitedly.

Night Raid, prepared for this confrontation, immediately charged.

In an instant, the eight combatants clashed.

Tatsumi faced Bulat once more.

Susanoo engaged Wave.

Sheele confronted Seryu.

Leone targeted Run.

Akame's task was to eliminate their targets while the others kept the enemy Teigu users occupied. Once their objectives were complete, they would retreat immediately.

Without hesitation, Akame swiftly entered the compound.

But the next moment, a figure wielding a katana slashed at her.

Akame's eyes widened in shock as she recognized her attacker.

"Kurome!"
