Dowager Cixi takes her sword and gets ready to fight.
Ryujiro thinks: "She wasn't fighting until now.. Just dodging. So she wasn't taking me serious at all, huh? Interesting."
Cixi takes off her suit jacket and points her sword towards Ryujiro.
Ryujiro: "Shameless.. You're not even worthy of being the empress according to your slutty behavior."
Cixi comes running towards Ryujiro.
Yuri's face gets red and jealous.
"Ugghhhhhh why are they bouncing so much!!?? Hey Ryujiro! Look at her body and I'll kill you!"
Ryujiro: "Don't worry. Not interested in whores. Only in you."
Vasilisa sees that Yuki fell unconscious on her shoulder.
Vasilisa: "Here we go again."
Cixi was no longer just dodging.
She was clashing her sword with Ryujiro.
Both were blocking each other's hits and fighting on an almost same level.
The difference was that Ryujiro was struggling more than Cixi.
Suddenly Cixi gets a phone call.
Cixi: "Soldiers! Don't let him attack me while I'm on the call!"
The 78 soldiers block Ryujiro from attacking Cixi. But they were struggling to keep him stay still.
Ryujiro: "What is that thing.. Some kind of new invention in this country? Who is she talking to..?"
A soldier: "That's a phone, dumbass.. We don't know how, but only the world leaders and military captains have access to them. We don't even know how they started to exist."
Cixi: "Yes, My Lord.."
The Lord: "Back off.. Dowager Cixi.
Otherwise you will die in this battle."
Cixi: "Wh-.. What?? There's no way that I can be killed by a little boy like him. Lord Yaztahruis."
The Lord: "Do as I say.. I have seen the past. I know everything. If you want to die by the hands of a little kid.. Then go ahead.
Otherwise fight him later when you become even stronger. And when you have some strategy."
Cixi: "Understood, My Lord."
The Lord: "Well then.. I'm hungry."
The call ends.
Cixi calls an interpreter.
"Tell him what I say."
"Ryujiro Kurogane. I've decided to fight you later and end this duel here.
You're too weak for me. I'm not enjoying it.
Until we meet again."
Cixi walks away.
Ryujiro: "Too.. Weak?.. That's a lie.. She must be afraid of me."
Cixi turns back
"Soldiers.. Don't kill him. He's mine to kill.
Instead.. Protect him from everything.
And when he gets ready to fight me.. He can come."
Ryujiro: "I'm always ready to fight you, bitch!"
Cixi laughs and walks away.. Leaving Ryujiro stand there in emptiness.
