"Your Majesty, please reconsider!" Ren said. "You don't have to do that yourself!"
"Shut up, Ren," Makoto said. "What kind of emperor would I be if I don't punish those who threaten my family and betray my country? If I don't do that myself, I don't deserve to be the emperor; I don't deserve to be a father."
Leon frowned when he heard that, it was only obvious why, but Makoto was way too nervous. He wanted to participate in the mission to rescue his daughter, and he also wanted to kill with his own hands, those who betrayed Japan. Ren looked at Leon, hoping that he could persuade Makoto; by the look of things, the other advisors didn't dare to argue with emperor when he was so decided to do something. Although Ren was new in that position, he was the only one who said clearly that it was a stupid idea.
"Your Majesty, I also think that is a bad idea," Leon said.
