Chapter 192
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
The next day, Miho summoned two men to the Imperial Palace. Of course, they were called by the emperor’s decree, who was merely a puppet, and they believed without a doubt it was in response to the emperor’s command. The emperor said to the two warriors who knelt before him,
“You shall follow the Noble Consort to the Central Plains from now on…”
“Yes, my lord!”
They answered without hesitation at first since it was an imperial order, but suspicion filled their faces. To avoid raising unnecessary doubts, the emperor added an explanation.
“Escort the Noble Consort… and seek out the Seven Luminaries… To obtain the legendary treasure and ensure the prosperity of the nation.”
“Understood!”
With that, Miho and I stood before them.
Miyamoto Musashi.
