Dalton Nimrud was not happy with the situation he had just faced.
Where did it go wrong?
When I suddenly thought about it and came up with the answer, there was a point that I could point out quite clearly.
-The plan has changed. The assassination will be carried out on the day of the banquet.
Wolyoung.
That’s because those shabby assassins delayed the date of Elric Portman’s assassination.
Dalton’s original plan was to clean up the offending Elric Portman before the banquet and kill Elvers Graham on the spot.
Dalton had no intention of directly intervening in the process.
However, since it becomes a situation where you have to assassinate both of them at once, you have no choice but to step forward yourself.
When Wolyoung asked me to lure him to the same place, I came out and found myself in this situation.
It seems like the sky hasn’t abandoned him.
“What an incredible coincidence.”
When I came out to the garden, I saw Elbus Graham and Elric Portman talking in one place.
How do those two know each other?
A question came to mind for a moment, but it didn’t last long.
Dalton also knew something.
“Well, it is true that I have heard that Prince Graham does not date people based on their positions. “I didn’t know that that disposition would also extend to his Baron.”
I remember hearing that Elric Portman lived a wandering life for 10 years.
It would be safe to say that their relationship continued in the meantime.
As a plausible cause and effect was drawn, Dalton began to believe in its credibility.
No matter what happens, the plan doesn’t change, so you just have to deal with it quickly and return.
It was a moment when Dalton smiled, feeling at least happy.
The two people began to open their mouths among themselves.
It started with Elbers.
“Who are you?”
“He is the Count of Nimrud.”
“I can’t memorize even the nobles of other countries?”
“Would you understand if I told you that this is the person who was targeting you?”
“oh?”
There’s too much room.
Dalton clicked his tongue and said.
“They don’t know what will happen to them, so they look like bugs. Hemiplegia and a limp are a pretty good combination.”
“I heard that’s true?”
“I will get better soon. “Unlike you.”
“You speak harshly.”
Dalton’s frown frowned.
‘These?’
Could it be that they are aware of your intentions and have another escort nearby?
I guess you’re not so stupid that you don’t know what’s really going on.
Dalton touched the small crystal ball in his pocket.
Ugh-
Looking at the response, Wolyoung has already arrived here.
So, is that confidence a bluff?
Yeah, it’s probably a bluff.
Dalton said in an angry voice.
“… “The prank ends here.”
Dalton pointed at Elvers Graham.
“Prince Graham, you must die here.”
“You mean me?”
“Yes, there is no housemaster. Sacrifice for the greater good… “I guess I can express it that way.”
If you were away for too long, you could arouse suspicion.
Dalton jumped into action.
“This is for the glory of the East, so don’t be too sad.”
Dalton deepened his crooked smile and imagined a bright future.
If Elber Graham was assassinated at a royal banquet, there would be cause for war.
Dalton’s purpose was to gain power by preventing war with his own hands while the country was reeling.
If the king could be ousted in the process, establishing a new Nimrud royal family would not be far away.
I was actually confident.
Because the transaction with ‘them’ on this matter has already been concluded.
“Let me introduce you.”
Dalton felt a little excited at the thought of pulling the trigger on this grand plan with his own hands.
“Wolyoung. “They are messengers of the West.”
Woe!
When I lifted the crystal ball high, gray-white light spread out from there.
It was a kind of signal.
“ruler! Now kill them!”
Even with excited shouts, it’s time to count to five.
Dalton’s expectations were high, expecting to see them being hacked to death in front of his eyes.

“… ?”
Nothing happened.
Embarrassment welled up in Dalton.
I looked around, but it was quiet.
“What is this…?” ?”
There was something that Dalton, who was talking in vain, did not know.
First, the two people already knew about his plan.
Second, Wolyoung already tried to assassinate him once and failed.
And thirdly,
“That’s enough.”
Wolyoung, who failed to assassinate, is now being used as Elric’s hand and foot.
“Take care of it.”
“야이 개새끼야!”
bang!
Danal, the head of Wolyeong’s branch, jumped out from between the bushes and kicked Dalton’s head with shining eyes.
Not once or twice.
Danal’s angry kicks continued as fiercely as his anger.
puck! puck! puck!
“Ugh!”
“you! me! “I’m trying to kill you!”
Dalton fell badly from his kick and was busy moaning.
Even though Danal was trampling on Dalton, he didn’t feel the slightest joy.
No, I was definitely feeling relieved at the feeling of coming back from death.
‘Damn it! Why is it that the original assassination target was Elbus Graham?’
Even if Elric didn’t come, it was a problem.
In the end, since it was an order from superiors, he would have had to kill Elbus Graham, and if he did so, he would have faced a more painful situation than being killed by Kasha, who later found out about the truth.
To put it in one word, it was like that.
‘I was screwed!’
It was used as a throwaway card.
And very thoroughly.
Quack!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Danal, who had crushed Dalton’s knee joint, huffed and turned around.
There was Kasha, who had an expressionless face, and Elbus Graham, who was smiling as if he was having fun.
Danal shook his head.
‘The mission failed anyway, and it’s hard to go back to Wolyeong now that Kasha has caught us.’
Danal, the assassin of Wolyeong, was none other than his survival instinct that put him in the position of branch leader.
In other words, it could have been said to be a matter of insight.
‘This is the only way to survive!’
thud!
Danal knelt down and bowed his head.
“Elder! “I did as instructed!”
If things end up like this, I should stick to Kasha’s side!
Danal is ready to welcome her new owner.

Elric looked at Count Nimrud and Danal, who had fainted, with a calm expression.
Elbus asked.
“Did you buy Wolyoung?”
“I didn’t spend any money, so it’s hard to say it was a purchase.”
“So, you really made him submit by force?”
“They came first.”
A sigh came out.
“More than that, aren’t you afraid? I came here knowing there would be an assassin… .”
“It’s because I trust you.”
Elbus smiled and let Elric’s words slip away.
Elric felt like his backbone was being pulled.
It’s a shame that it ended well, but I almost ended up in big trouble.
“You don’t have the decency to look at your wife.”
When Elric said, Elbus responded.
“is it? I’d like to have a deep conversation with your wife. For example, about Sword Demon Kasha… .”
“I don’t want you to no longer be friends.”
“Oh my.”
Elbers shrugged his shoulders.
Elric frowned.
The gaze soon landed on Danal again.
What should I do with that guy?
Elric, who was thinking, asked Elbers.
“Can you think of a suitable way?”
“What if it’s Bangdo?”
“Whatever it is, it is becoming clear that there is a force targeting the east. I am… .”
“I understand. “You wouldn’t want your hometown to be caught up in war.”
Elbus tapped Elric on the shoulder and added.
“Do you remember the suggestion I made just now?”
Elbus’ voice suddenly became serious again.
“I didn’t do it as a joke. Of course, whatever choice you make, I will respect your opinion. So, I will ask.”
His face was determined, as if he was going to hear an answer he hadn’t heard before.
“Do you have any intention of returning to the battlefield again?”
Elric fell into great hesitation at that moment.
At the end, the soft lips spat out an answer full of confusion.
“… Please give me time to think about it.”
Elric couldn’t answer right away.
*
I couldn’t quite figure out why I gave that answer.
Isn’t that right?
As soon as my knee heals, I will leave for the battlefield.
I always promised myself that, but when I was given the choice, I couldn’t bring myself to go to the battlefield.
-… Okay, just leave the cleanup to me and you can go back.
Elbers didn’t seem to care much and sent Elric away.
Elric impatiently pointed at his cane and headed toward the banquet hall.
A feeling that I cannot explain accurately to myself continues to lead my steps in one direction.
My knee is aching, but the pain feels like nothing.
The question that was just frustrating inside me turned into a terrible thirst, and I was pointing to a woman as a way to quench that thirst.
“ma’am.”
Elric reached Tyria.
The woman who was sitting alone in the corner of the banquet hall watching the ball soon made eye contact.
“Ah, are you here?”
He says quietly.
Elric’s lips were tightly shut, then drew a thin line.
“… Sorry for being late. “Because I got lost.”
“That’s possible. “The royal castle is quite spacious.”
I finally feel at ease inside.
It was only when he saw her that Elric realized that the two paths he had always put off were right in front of him.
“What were you doing alone?”
That he was not happy about the option of leaving her behind.
“I was waiting for the head of the family.”
Elric wanted to know Tyria.
More and more deeply than I know now.
What she thinks, what she likes, and what she hates.
Beyond that, I wanted to know everything.
For some reason, it felt like I couldn’t leave Tyria Portman’s side until that happened.
“Please sit here.”
The moment she pointed to the seat next to him, Elric felt as if everything related to the battlefield had been erased from his mind.
