Emperor Komei furrowed his brow slightly, feeling a rising impatience towards Prince Sanehito of the Arisugawa-no-miya, yet he still glanced in the direction the other pointed, where towering flames suddenly rose dozens of yards high.
Is this reasonable?
While Emperor Komei had initially only been urgent, he was now extremely anxious.
"What is the Choshu Domain trying to do?!"
His face was full of anger.
If there had been just one side of attacking, it could be said that they wanted to kidnap him, but even the back was set ablaze!
The entire Imperial Residence was surrounded by flames, this was no simple attempt to hold Emperor Komei hostage, it seemed more like an attempt to annihilate them!
Annihilate him?
Emperor Komei considered this possibility, his complexion changed several times, and he murmured, "Impossible, how could the Choshu Domain do such a thing!"
