After obtaining information from Marny and paying her, Cecil cursed at her friend and left. The tavern girl cursed back as if it were their usual exchange. "Sorry, boy. It seems that she's still as greedy as before." "No, it's okay. 5000 Golds is nothing for me." I answered and wore the hood again, hiding my face. "We gained valuable information I couldn't get from the interrogation and saved time, so it was profitable for us." "But it's still 5000 Golds, a big amount of money." Cecil looked at me…-

Marny took us to a simple room inside, asking us to sit around a modest wooden table. The tavern girl looked at Cecil as if she had gone crazy. "So, anything to explain before I answer your previous question?" She leaned her head against her hand, "I know you're not someone who would be that reckless. You survived by scamming people. So… I take it you have influenced her to do this, Mr. Lover?" "Marny…!" Cecil growled in a low tone and seemingly got pissed by her friend accusing me. However, I…

A vast ocean spread in front of our eyes as the ship crushed the waves, cruising through the wild sea. Many birds that live around the ocean perked on the crow nest, resting from a long journey. We were on a passenger ship sailing toward Tiga Port City. I leaned against the railing with Cecil standing beside me, closing her eyes to feel the sea wind. At first, I thought securing a ship meant buying a ship from the shipyard and using it to reach our destination ourselves. But Cecil immediately shot…

As usual, the twins greeted me after I appeared in the middle of the garden. I asked them where Cecil was, and they said she was sleeping. No surprise, as it was already midnight after I finished everything in the Capital City. I thanked them and went inside. Bothering Cecil in her sleep would be unwise. She was the one who had the most stamina and stayed the longest in the party. So I decided to sleep until morning. Rest was also important, and I had nothing to do. If I wanted to enjoy my life,…

For now, I needed to train Ria to make her loyal to me. I believed she would eventually forget about Raven and didn't think much about it after she experienced a 'good' life that everyone deserved. "So, do you know where this Assassin's Den is located?" I asked once again with a chilling tone. This time, Ria gulped nervously as she looked up at me, still crouching like a dog. She hesitated to answer a little, mainly because I added the promise from earlier. And we got the location. "Northwest of…

Author's Note: There is a bit mistake with the last chapter in the last part. If you have time, just read the last paragraph before continuing to this chapter xD --- Ria became obedient after I gave her meat, just like Nina had said. We teleported to the Capital City, on the empty lot where there weren't too many people, and proceeded to where Beatrice kept the assassin. I hoped she had at least begun the interrogation and already got some information that Ria could confirm when we arrived. "Is it…

"Lucy, are you there?" I called out as I landed on the balcony, jumping down softly not to make any noise. The Vampire girl looked up from the thick book with a brown cover that she read with a displeased expression. It seemed like she still hadn't truly recovered from her condition when I last saw her at the party. She sighed to let that displeasure go away and closed the book with a bam, "Do you need something from me, Arthur?" "Not exactly you, but I need a bit of help from someone knowledgeable…

After I ordered Beatrice, I returned to the dining room quietly, where Queen Eve and both Princes were still inside. The Grand Marshal stood in front of the dining hall, probably noticing that something was wrong. When he saw me walking toward him, he raised his brow and turned around. "Your Holiness. The assassin?" He asked with a deep voice, fitting his bear-like stature. And his words weren't wasted. Or rather… He was a man of few words, huh? That was why he kept quiet all this time. Stopping…

Night arrived. The Royal Guards and kingdom knights patrol was tightened compared to this afternoon. Earlier, a maid arrived in my room and invited me for dinner with the Queen and the Princes. I accepted it and was now guided by the same maid to the dining room. After walking down a few hallways and passing a few intersections, I finally arrived at the dining room. The maid bowed at me deeply and said, "We've arrived, Your Holiness. Her Majesty and His Highnesses are already inside." "Thank…

Afterward, we exited the room, and she returned to her duty. As a Queen, she was really busy, especially after the mourning ended and the piled-up duty awaited her. I was guided to the guest room by a maid. She seemed to be a bit nervous guiding me and didn't look me in the eyes even once. She kept her head low. I understood that guiding a VIP among VIPs could be nerve-wracking, so I didn't say anything and just followed her. "Y-Your Holiness, we've arrived." The room I was taken into was on the…
