Tatsumi I really hate you. How is Tatsumi breaking his promise? And for starters, Tatsumi never broke Esdeath heart, he didn't even try get close to Esdeath romantically nor did he force Esdeath to love him, it was Esdeath who tried to do so.

And have you considered the consequences of Tatsumi agreeing to join Esdeath. Now that they know that Tatsumi is from Night Raid, do you think they'll just allow him to join the Empire without any concern or consequences? There's just no way. The first thing the Empire or Esdeath is going to do is to have Tatsumi rat out the remaining Night Raid members to prove his loyalty. When that happens Tatsumi isn't just doing something petty like breaking a promise with Akame, he'll be betraying Akame and worst he'll be the one sending her to death.

Remember like Lubbock said to Syura, Night Raid takes absolute importance in comradeship, they would never betray each other no matter what the situation is.
