The room was cloaked in a dim veil, yet having just emerged from absolute darkness, this dimness seemed bright to him, enough to discern that this was a bedroom.
The room was spacious.
Outside, samurais were stationed as guards.
Light from the corridor's beams cast shadows on the Aizu warrior, forming silhouettes on the window.
But at this moment, neither inside nor outside the room did anyone speak a word.
Darker shadows spread from Aozawa's feet, ensnaring Matsudaira Katamori and his concubine on the bed, as well as the samurais guarding outside.
"Don't be so afraid."
Aozawa casually sat at the bedside and glanced at Ono Toshishi, saying, "Announce the General's command."
Ono Toshishi wanted to rebuke this attitude towards the Conquer Barbarian General, but considering the other party's astonishing strength, he held back and chose to abide by the General's command.
His death meant little; the important thing was not delaying his lord's big matters.
