"So, Chelsea, how about you? Want to be my Consort?" Roy asked, turning his attention to her.

Chelsea blushed. "Why are you asking me that? Do you really want to build a Harem?" she retorted, giving him a disapproving look.

If she wasn't mistaken, she and Mine were the only ones who hadn't agreed to become his Consorts yet.

Sheele, Akame, Kurome, and Leone had already accepted his offer.

Just then, a group of people entered the hall.

Leone's eyes widened in alarm, and she quickly stepped aside, motioning for Roy to get off the throne.

Roy, amused by her reaction, simply shifted into a more comfortable position and continued to lounge on the throne.

The leader of the Revolutionary Army, accompanied by Najenda and a few others, approached Roy.

The Night Raid members watched nervously.

Then...

Thud!

The Revolutionary Army leader knelt before Roy.

"Greetings, Boss!" he declared respectfully.

What?!

Everyone was stunned. The supreme commander of the Revolutionary Army was bowing before a teenager and calling him "Boss"?

"Everyone, kneel!" the leader barked at his subordinates.

Despite their confusion, Najenda and the other soldiers obeyed and knelt.

"Arise" Roy said casually, waving his hand dismissively.

"How is the situation in the Capital?"

"Boss, the Capital is under our complete control. All those who resisted have been eliminated."

"Good. Pacify the people and prepare for the coronation ceremony in a few days."

"Yes, Boss!"

"Anything else?" Roy asked.

"Boss, what should we do with the Young Emperor?" the leader asked cautiously.

"Hmm... that's up to you. Just make sure I don't see him again."

"Understood, Boss."

"You're Dismissed." Roy waved them away.

"Yes, Boss!"

The Revolutionary Army leader and his entourage left the hall.

The Night Raid members stared at Roy in disbelief.

"W-What? The Leader called Roy 'Boss'?" Chelsea stammered, her jaw dropping, and her lollipop falling to the ground.

"What's going on?" Akame asked, equally confused.

"Haha, the leader of the Revolutionary Army is just a pawn of mine," Roy explained with a chuckle, enjoying their shocked reactions.

"So... Roy, your offer to make me your Consort... was that serious?" Leone asked, sliding onto the seat beside him, her eyes sparkling with interest.

"Of course it was. I joined Night Raid for all of you," Roy replied, his gaze sweeping over the girls.

His words touched their hearts.

Someone had actually risked his life and joined a group of assassins for their sake.

They couldn't help but wonder if they would even be alive without Roy.

Sheele, for one, wouldn't have been resurrected.

And the rest of them would have likely suffered heavy casualties in their fight to overthrow the Empire.

"Well... then I suppose I'll accept your offer," Chelsea said, blushing.

She had been born into common family and had even worked for the Empire.

She had fantasized about becoming the Emperor's consort.

And she already had feelings for Roy, further amplified by his selfless actions in joining Night Raid. It was no surprise that she agreed.

This cliché tactic might be laughable in the modern world, but it seemed quite effective in this situation.

"What about you, Mine?" Roy asked, turning his attention to her.

"I... I..." Mine stammered, her face flushed.

She undoubtedly liked Roy.

But her tsundere nature made it difficult for her to confess in front of everyone.

'Why does every confession have to be in front of an audience?' she lamented internally.

Seeing her hesitation, Roy approached her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Mine, don't you like me?" he asked softly.

"Of course I do, you idiot! But do you have to make me say it in front of everyone?" Mine cried, burying her face in his chest.

The other girls smiled, happy for Mine.

They knew how difficult it was for her to express her feelings honestly.

"I'm sorry, Mine. It's my fault," Roy apologized, patting her back.

"Hmph, fine. I forgive you," Mine replied, finally smiling through her tears.

Kurome tugged at Roy's sleeve.

"Onii-chan, what about me? I want to be your Consort too," she said shyly.

"Uh..." Roy paused, then patted her head. "Don't worry, Kurome. You're already my servant. I won't forget about you."

Akame blushed at his words.

Roy then proceeded to form contracts with the girls.

Mine, as a long-range ADC, consumed a lot of mana.

The Rook and Knight pieces weren't suitable for her. The Bishop piece was the best fit.

Chelsea wasn't suited for frontline combat, so he gave her a Pawn piece.

And finally, the main event: Esdeath.

She was destined to be his Queen.

After Esdeath's transformation, her strength soared to Ultimate-Class, an incredible feat.

But it wasn't surprising, considering she was already at the peak of High-Class Devil.

A few days later, Roy was officially crowned Emperor.

Even he hadn't expected to become an Emperor, but he wasn't particularly interested in the position itself.

He then declared the Night Raid girls and Esdeath his Consorts.

With the immediate matters settled, Roy didn't rush to leave this world.

He used his knowledge to implement reforms, improving the lives of the people and ensuring they no longer suffered from hunger and poverty.

He then dispatched Esdeath to the western regions to quell the unrest among the minority tribes.

Mine, who was from the western border region, had been discriminated against for being a Half-Breed since childhood.

She had dreamed of a new Empire where such discrimination would be eradicated.

Therefore, Roy sent Esdeath to conquer the western tribes and integrate them into the Empire.

Of course, this was also part of Roy's plan to unify the entire world.

To achieve this, he needed to conquer the southern and northern tribes as well.

He sent Najenda and Night Raid to the south.

And he personally led an army to the north.

Any tribe that resisted was crushed.

Within a month, all three regions were under his control.

Roy then ordered the men from the conquered tribes to relocate to the Capital for work.

He also sent a group of citizens from the Capital to the newly acquired territories.

This integration would ensure that within a hundred years, there would be no more divisions between different races.

During this time, Roy finally discovered the method for creating Teigu.

The first thing he did was modify the Supreme Teigu, Shikoutazer.

Previously, only those with the bloodline of the former Emperor could use it.

Even Roy couldn't force it to activate.

But after his modifications, anyone could use it.

Roy then entrusted Najenda and the former Revolutionary Army leader with governing the Empire and tasked them with producing more Teigu.

He then left the world of Akame ga Kill! with his Consorts and a collection of Teigu.

After his departure, the world continued to function smoothly under Najenda and the former leader's rule.

They followed Roy's instructions diligently.

Roy wasn't worried about the Empire's future. After all, he could return anytime.
