109 – Should I return the favor at this point
A space without servants.
The assassins, including Lin, were just kneeling with their heads down.
First Prince Henry frowned and said.
“I’m holding on tightly to the capital, but my younger brother Charlie keeps putting his foot in the door.”
2Nd Prince Charlie.
Charlie is looking over the capital.
Charlie has already gained a lot of fat.
She probably thinks that if she just destroys the capital, she will become emperor.
“Charlie is sending assassins to the capital. “They are targeting my limbs, me, or Cornelia.”
Henry caught his breath and glanced up at Cornelia.
Cornelia’s pale, bloodless expression.
Henry continued.
“Almost all of the royal family have assassins, but Cornelia does not have any. Among my siblings, she has the most kind heart. The reason I’m telling you this is to ask you to take good care of Cornelia. “You say you are a knight of Cornelia.”
Evan participated as a knight of Cornelia when dealing with the barbarians.
This title is still maintained.
Evan agreed in his heart.
If a civil war broke out anyway, he planned to participate as a knight of Cornelia.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to deal with assassins.
“hahahaha! The secret story ends here. Sir Evan, back to the paper…….”
Cornelia gave Henry a glare after hearing his words.
Henry’s expression becomes awkward.
I’d like to say, but… hahahaha! I’ve been holding on to my customers too much. I heard you have work to do too. “I’m going to read now, so everyone do their thing.”
Henry bit people as he pulled books out of the display case.
I still have regrets about Evan.
※
Cornelia’s bedroom.
This is Evan’s second time here, having previously been here for a dinner party last year.
“I guess there are a lot of assassins invading?”
Evan asked Cornelia.
Cornelia’s complexion was pale from the moment Henry left her mouth.
Cornelia had not told Evan about the assassin or the civil war.
Will the benefactor be harmed?
Cornelia hoped that Evan would not be caught up in the civil war.
“Oh, don’t say anything, Sir Evan! “These people keep coming to see the princess every day!”
Rose shouted, clenching her fists.
‘Should I return the favor at this point?’
Evan thought.
I decided to kill the assassin targeting Cornelia.
Cornelia didn’t feel comfortable because she kept receiving it.
What if we eliminate the assassin?
“What information was investigated?”
“Already, about 40 assassins entered Baron Etner’s mansion. They’re all Charlie’s people. In fact, the reason Henry visited this time was to get rid of this Baron Etner.”
“I will participate too.”
“Benefactor…… !”
Cornelia felt her heart sink at Evan’s declaration of participation in the war.
I didn’t tell you until now to exclude my benefactor from danger!
It has nothing to do with the benefactor.
Cornelia turned her words to her impatience.
“I have prepared a list of teachers to educate my benefactor and fiancé. What you see first…….”
“I pay the tuition for my fiancé’s education first. “I will also participate in the attack on Baron Etner.”
“But…” ….”
“Don’t you know my skills?”
Cornelia, who was turning her words, was interrupted.
Of course, Cornelia knows that her benefactor is great.
Evan is strong enough to block the attack of the Barbarian Queen, the three greatest disasters.
But no matter how strong you are, being Charlie’s target is dangerous.
“I have no doubt that the benefactor will defeat the assassins. However, if Brother Charlie perceives his benefactor as an enemy… “If you do something wrong, your benefactor may get caught up in a civil war.”
“That doesn’t matter.”
Evan accepted calmly.
In the first place, she was planning to participate in my competition.
A benefactor who cannot be persuaded by any words.
Although Cornelia’s anxiety did not go away, she also felt grateful.
She is willing to take risks for herself.
Cornelia’s expression relaxes.
She didn’t want to cause trouble.
Her body relaxed… Cornelia felt a warm feeling.
“…… Thank you.”
In the end, Cornelia allowed Evan to participate in the war.
She said she would prepare well for Maya’s fiancé’s education.
You can listen to it after the assassination operation.
Evan and Maya received assassination costumes from Rose and wore them.
Evan and Maya came out of the locker room wearing black jumpsuits.
Jjoljjol had daggers of various lengths in her inner pocket, and there was also poison money attached to it.
-I’m Maya, the assassin!
Maya holding a dagger in both hands and cheering.
Although Maya was invited to participate to increase her assassination experience, it seems like her young child is playing a trick.
“…… “There were clothes that fit Maya’s body.”
Evan said to Rose.
Rose wandered around and observed whether Evan and Maya were dressed properly.
Rose smiled contentedly and nodded her head.
“These are clothes made by wizards. “The size can be adjusted using mana.”
‘There was magic built into the clothes, was it a size adjustment magic?’
Evan read his magic.
In addition to size adjustment magic, you can feel defensive magic and hiding magic on the clothes.
“hehehe, it’s all over.”
Rose stays in the palace because she has to escort the princess.
Rose had no doubt that Evan would succeed.
“Please take care of everything!”
“Yes.”
“Oh, and if anything happens, please use the communication device.”
Rose tapped her ear.
Small earplugs imbued with communication magic.
These earplugs are connected to Cornelia’s crystal ball.
“If you fail, I will immediately teleport you to support you.”
“That won’t happen.”
“Wow, I feel confident.”
Rose walks away feeling reassured.
Evan and Maya joined Charlie’s assassin squad because Rose’s inspection was over.
※
A mansion with a large and wide stone wall.
Baron Etner.
The lights were off inside the mansion, but many men were armed.
Most of them are prisoners of the Heresy Kingdom, with sharp looks.
Some of them were war criminals.
From Noble mtl dot com
These are the assassins of the second prince.
“You are scum who have sinned.”
Mars, a man with an ordinary appearance, spat bitterly.
He is the leader of the armed forces gathered here, that is, the assassins.
Mars is called the ‘hunting dog’ of 2nd Prince Charlie.
Mars’ main mission was to control these sinful assassins.
“It was right for you to go to the execution site and die, but you were raised specifically to be assassins. For this day. Kill the first prince, and you will be free.”
Mars will take away your guilt if you succeed in the assassination mission.
The assassins gathered in the lobby are filled with eagerness.
‘Stupid bastards.’
Mars looked down at the assassins from the landing of the stairs and suppressed a sneer.
Mars found assassins funny.
Killing the first prince is virtually impossible.
The troops protecting the first prince are enormous.
Well, if they get lucky and get rid of the 1st prince, it’ll be good.
Even if you fail, the 1st Prince’s power will be reduced, so it’s okay.
These are prisoners who don’t care if they die.
‘It is enough to drain the first prince’s power.’
Mars did not hope for anything big.
It would be profitable to trade the prisoners for Henry’s assassins.
2Nd Prince Charlie has more troops than her 1st Prince Henry.
Assassin battles take on the aspect of a war of attrition.
“Are you sure that after this is over, you will provide me with a place in the south?”
Baron Etner was sitting against the wall on the landing, shivering.
Etner, a powerless bureaucratic nobleman in the central region, was loyal to Charlie in order to achieve success.
Mars smiled.
“Of course, Baron Etner. “Please take it easy.”
Mars’s atmosphere has changed from when he oppressed the assassins.
It wasn’t difficult for Mars to deal with this timid kid.
※
Outskirts of the central region.
The 1st Prince’s assassination unit hid in Scott City, where Baron Etner Mansion is located.
On the outside, we have to act as if it is not a fight between royal family members.
Operations were checked at an abandoned house on the outskirts of Scott City.
The detailed strategy was decided by the 3rd Princess Palace, so all you have to do is confirm it.
The first prince’s assassination squad gathered in the unlit bamboo house.
The operation did not go well.
“…… “I act separately.”
A man carrying a large coffin left the abandoned house.
The 1st Prince’s assassins remained silent and did not express any complaints.
This seems familiar.
Two more assassins leave without a word.
Deke, the leader of the assassination unit wearing a black hood, opened his mouth.
“…… We’ll go in on the flanks. Sir Evan… “I don’t care how they act, but don’t disturb us.”
A deck that speaks with distrust.
To be honest, Evan was not very good at decking.
No matter how skilled a knight is, he is often unskilled at assassination.
Assassins’ main goal is to kill enemies without being detected, rather than having excellent sword skills.
Evan opened her mouth.
“Don’t worry.”
Evan has committed assassination in his past life.
I haven’t tried anything related to knives.
I’m going to show off my skills after a long time.
Evan grabbed the dagger in his arms and let go.
Deke glanced at Evan and then spoke to Lin.
“Lord Lin.”
Rin is leaning against the wall of an abandoned house, closing her eyes.
Rin listened to Deke with her arms crossed.
“I understand that you are Sir Evan’s teacher. “Please assist Sir Evan.”
“… ….”
Rin nods and moves her head slightly.
Meaning of consent.
Deke was slightly relieved.
Evan is treated like a complete beginner.
This is the treatment that new employees receive in any organization.
Evan didn’t feel anything special.
Darkness falls on Scott City.
The 1st Prince’s assassins approached Baron Etner’s mansion.
Lin, along with Evan, was wearing a hooded gown and acting as an ordinary passerby.
“Evan.”
Lynn called Evan.
“This is not an academy. I know your major is famous, but if you’re a guest… “Say it now.”
Lin evaluates Evan’s skills to carry out the operation.
Because Evan was currently hiding her presence, Lynn was not able to gauge Evan’s skills well.
“I can do it on my own.”
Evan felt like Lynn’s worries were a waste of her time.
That Evan can accomplish her mission alone.
Lynn glared at Evan and then disappeared into the darkness.
To intervene if Evan makes a mistake.
Lin could not tolerate the failure of her mission.
-Woo!
Maya jeered, lowering her dagger.
Staring at Master, Maya didn’t like Rin.
Evan placed his hand on Maya’s head.
“It’s okay.”
Are you used to being ignored everywhere?
Anyway, you just have to show it with action.
After calming Maya down, Evan went to the Etner Mansion.
After a while, the front door of the iron mansion came into view, and Evan unleashed his magic.
Tsutsutsu… ….
The gloomy-looking three-story mansion is covered by Evan’s magic.
Baron Etner Mansion.
Evan’s magic quietly sweeps through the Etner Mansion.
Evan captured all the assassins that could be sensed by his magic.
‘The basics of assassination are capturing the target and secretly killing accurately.’
I feel like there are 51 people in the mansion, more than there is information about.
Are they Baron Etner’s people?
“Maya, you should try it too.”
Evan tried making Maya do what he did.
They say they are carrying out an assassination mission for Cornelia.
Now, it is also practical training.
-…… Yes.
Maya lifted her dagger in both hands and unleashed her magical power.
Tsutsutsu… ….
Iridescent magic that brightens the darkness.
Maya’s magic gradually loses its shine… I looked around the mansion.
Hide magical power.
Tsutsutsu.
Maya’s secret magical power slowly sweeps through the mansion.
Maya also captured the people in the mansion.
51 People I can clearly feel.
After checking this, Maya made a mistake while retrieving her magic power.
The hidden magical power has been revealed.
The assassin hiding at the front door detected this.
Tsutsu… ….
Poseok.
The assassin near the front door senses magical power and moves.
The sound of stepping on the floor.
Evan focused her magic towards the sound.
Kugugu… ….
Magic power that strangles the assassin.
Evan used magic to move the dagger and stabbed and killed the assassin near the main gate.
Hook.
“… ….”
The silent assassin’s breathing.
Fortunately, there was no sign of anyone else at the front door.
-…… Sorry.
Maya’s sullen voice.
I got caught while retrieving the detection magic power.
I should have hidden my magic until the end…….
Maya was ashamed of her mistake.
“Don’t be afraid of failure, Maya. “It’s more meaningful to try than to do nothing.”
Evan placed his hand on Maya’s black hood.
Even if Maya makes a mistake, Evan can cover it, so it doesn’t matter.
-hehehe… thank you
It was only after Maya heard Evan’s words that her expression brightened.
Lin, who followed them, was surprised.
Lynn tried to step in when Evan and Maya made a mistake, but she said Evan would solve it on his own?
Rin lost strength in her hand holding her dagger.
‘…… ‘He seems like a high-level assassin.’
An excellent assassin secretly spreads magical power to determine the enemy’s location.
Evan did this accurately.
I thought Evan was just conceited to take credit…….
‘…… Wasn’t it?’
It was awkward for Rin to feel at ease, as she did with her skilled assassin colleague.
