Empress Ludenberg: The ones sent to observe Pekoyama? I suppose I can finish my tea later. What did they say?
Fuyuhiko: Peko failed her mission. She was killed in a duel with Tsurugi Kinjo.
A smirk grew across Celeste's face.
Empress: Ah. So it is as I expected.
Fuyuhiko: Expected?
Empress: I wanted Pekoyama to be the one to face Kinjo because of her talents. The only way she'd falter is through extraordinary means. And if Kinjo defeated her all on his lonesome, then it's safe to say he has an ace up his sleeve. I'm willing to bet he possesses the final Shard of Despair. The final key to Godhood!
Fuyuhiko: Empress, did you send Peko there to die?
Empress: Not exactly. I was simply confirming whether or not my suspicions were true. If I was correct, then she'd die, and if I wasn't, she'd be alive. It was a gamble.
Fuyuhiko: A gamble? Empress, was Peko's life just a gamble to you?
Empress: ? Lord Kuzuryu, it does not befit a man to cry. Cease at once.
Fuyuhiko: Yes, Empress. My apologies.
Empress: No. No, an apology is not sufficient enough. My subjects shall love me and me alone. Tears over some disposable mongrel is an insult. You must atone.
Fuyuhiko: Yes, Empress. I will atone, only tell me how.
Empress: Those eyes disgust me now that I know they weep for mongrels. Kuzuryu, I order you to pluck your right eye out. And if you shed a single tear while doing so, then you will pluck the other out. Then you'll no longer be able to cry at all.
Fuyuhiko: As you wish, Empress.
Fuyuhiko raised his hands to his face. Using one, he held his eye open. He primed the other to pluck his eye. His breathing grew rapid. His hands began to shake. He drew his hand back and proceeded to fulfill his master's request.
That Mexican Guy
Fuyuhiko: Empress, the scouts have reported back.
