Chapter 188
Future
—At the northern battlefront.
Nagakura Shinpachi’s cavalry had gone north after breaking through the center of the Ashtaroth army, but they soon detected that the enemy was following them.
Nagakura had the princess riding behind him on his horse, but he then left her to his men so that he could turn around and face the enemy.
As for who was chasing him, it was his old comrade, Toshizou Hijikata.
He rode his horse silently and then unsheathed his sword. And without any hesitation, he tried to cut off Nagakura’s head.
“To try and cut off an old friend’s head without a word. That’s why they call you the demon vice-captain.”
He said jokingly.
“It’s because you are an old friend that I do it. We have no need for words.”
