Betrayal was the most common thing that could happen in the middle of war, especially a war between two men that were known as someone who was holding the title as an emperor. It could happen because of different reasons though, it could be because one side had a better vision than the other. Or maybe this person was clever enough to observe and chose whichever side that had the chance of winning more in the war. Any kind of reason was possible, but that kind of thing was a very crucial thing in a war especially when you want to gain more support for your side.
However, perhaps betrayal was not a fitting word to the problem that the current emperor was facing at the moment. The act was more fitting to be called as a loyalty, where finally the emperor that he always looked up to and trusted suddenly came back from the death and was willing to take back the throne. It was as if that the man had already sworn to pledge his life and loyalty to Gao Yuan Zu and that made Yoshiro’s side in disadvantage, although maybe that was not the reason why. Noir was just trying to put the puzzle pieces in her head in order to find out what was happening exactly and also the cause behind it. Because the moment when the emperor decided to join the front line and needed a new suit of armor, the man that he already placed the order to had chosen to give his support to Gao Yuan Zu.
The black haired girl knew this matter when she bumped into Yoshiro’s soldiers and managed to grab one of them by using Haku’s help. They were walking quickly and their face looked very stern, those were the reason why Noir was curious and interested to know more. She would bring the soldier into the alley, not too far from the main street but enough to get them hidden so she could ask for the details about their mission. “What happened, where are you going?” She asked, her face was pretty close to the soldiers and was enough to make him stuttered because her gaze was just too intense and her action was just too surprising. The magician put her hands on his arms and gave him a little shake, feeling a little bit impatient. “Hey, tell me. I want to help.” The girl pulled back her hands right after that, thinking to give the soldier some space so he could speak to her.
The soldier tried to stand up but Haku’s paw that was on his shoulder kept the soldier from standing up, “Eeek, why should I tell you?!” The soldier said to the girl and made Noir raised her eyebrow. “How could I know that you aren’t a spy from Gao Yuan Zu?!” His words made the girl tilted her head and with a soft sigh, she shook her head. “Im not his supporter. I like your emperor’s idea to get rid of the slavery and I wish to keep him safe so he could realize that goal.”
