With an amused laugh, Saito commented, "The word does travel fast, doesn't it?"
"I have no idea what you mean Sir Saito. Please proceed towards the Council." He said in an emotionless tone, seemingly not giving away anything.
The soldiers left with the general glancing back at Saito with an apologetic look. He didn't seem to expect this chain of events. Saito though didn't look worried and chose not to look back at the general.
He continued to follow Akazawa towards the council. After they were far away, Saito confirmed through Iris' existence that there was no one eavesdropping on them right now.
He quietly spoke out to the man, "So, how much did the Crown Prince spend to buy you?"
"What do you mean?" Akazawa asked with a nervous laugh. Saito though let out an amused laugh, "Now-now, there is no need to keep it within yourself. We both know who is behind this situation and what is going to happen in the council."
