Rudra had no other option but to come clean as he decided to start with a bit of truth and mix lies into the fray as per the emperor's reaction to his words , as he needed the emperor's support to control his newfound territory once he conquered it, as without the Hazelgroove kingdom s support it would be impossible to keep the wolves away from his land .
Rudra hence said " My emperor , i had long been planning on Conquering the Nineclouds kingdom , i am an ambitious man ,i won't deny it , and my hands are indeed dyed in blood , as somewhere or the other the riots inside the city are a consequence of my actions , as civillians are indeed loosing their lives because of my poor judgement ".
Rudra said soo much as he tried to understand the expression on Cervantez's face and get some hints on how to proceed further. However to his dismay the emperor was expressionless as he only looked at Rudra with a bored look.
