It was a dark night.

As the clouds engulf the moonlight, the assassins of the Rom Kingdom make their move.

Their only goal is one.

‘Varus Victoria. ’

It was to assassinate the First Prince.

This was an order issued by the Second Prince Deryan.

- Kill him, but never hurt the Crown Prince of the Holy See. They can't handle it!

Power outage agreement in progress.

A power outage in the courtyard of victory?

I had no choice but to be nervous as Deryan.

If the Holy See were to undertake an investigation of the Kingdom of Rome, the king's assassin and his work would also be at risk.

It was a situation that should not have given the rebels any conditions that would benefit them.

I had to kill Varus somehow before the blackout started.

As long as Varus is gone, the war will end.

- Leave no evidence.

If the Holy Father's Law Department reprimanded and pressured him on this matter, the next King Deryan would have to drink it as long as he had his head on the ground.

I was willing to give up part of my territory if I wanted to.

For Deryan, the Holy See has become a force that doesn't want to be involved.

The assassins move swiftly.

Everyone passes through the slumbering village to the sewers near the fortress.

With the dagger they injected, you carefully cut the iron bars out of the sewers.

In the disgusting sewers, they enter with masks on.

Soldiers looking around with torches and braziers feel popular and look away.

"...?"

The soldiers release their heads, making sure there's nothing wrong with the sewers.

You're mistaken.

The fortress in Venice was heavily guarded, but it was a small fortress on the far side.

Skilled assassins have entered the castle.

They climb up onto the toilet connected to the sewer and change their clothes.

Servant and maid outfit.

I sprayed the perfume to eliminate the smell.

They have 5 minutes left. Kill Varus and escape within that time.

They walked down the hall.

The soldiers walking down the hall wave their hands at the assassin dressed as his servant.

“Farewell.”

“Yes, well done. ”

The assassins smiled and said lightly.

The soldiers nod and look back, tilting their heads at the dreadful stench.

“Wait, what do you guys smell... ”

The soldier's mouth is clogged and a dagger is inserted into his neck.

Lead the limping soldier into the room and tuck him under the mattress.

The assassins have moved on again.

I sprinkled perfume, but it wasn't easy to hide the smell.

They took out a map with the structure of the castle.

‘Search all the precious rooms. ’

They stare at the noble chambers to peer between the corners.

A girl in white armor stands guard with her hands on the hilt of her sword.

The assassins tilt their heads.

What is it?

It's too easy than I thought. I never thought I'd be this lazy if the guards were this lazy.

The assassins face each other.

I wonder if it's a trap.

But the anger is too quiet to say so.

Were you relieved because of the power outage agreement?

Or is there a belief in something?

The assassins look at the girl.

‘Young.’

What do you know about the girl? ’

They searched the data they had prepared for the assassination, but there was no information about the girl.

"Don't be careless. ’

One opponent.

As long as the guard is loose, the Pokémon ends quickly.

The assassins draw their daggers.

I quickly came out of the corner and ran toward the girl.

Fast and quick, a sharp dagger pierces the girl's neck.

At that moment, Charlotte's eyes return.

The sword is not drawn.

He clenches his fist in the gauntlet and swings at the assassin.

* *

A heap of paperwork piles up like a hill in the Oval Office prepared by Varus.

It was information about the nobles of the Revolutionary Army and the tributes that Varus of the Rom Kingdom planted.

I was stuck in my room all week looking at it.

Varus looks at the documents, restless and fatigued, as it was a matter of his destiny.

“I don't see any suspicious people. It's been over five years since Leiden retired. There were nobles approaching him, but there were no people to work with."

Leiden Behemoth.

All you have to do is find those associated with him.

It wasn't easier than I thought.

Barus said I sighed.

Is this a sham?

Sir, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to hit you before the execution.

I did my best.

Just go to sleep.

I took another look at the document, jokingly speaking.

In fact, there is someone who has not yet been investigated.

Like Varus, he has friends with Ryden.

Second Prince Deryan Victoria.

I had to investigate him as well.

At that moment, you hear a knock and Charlotte comes in.

She wipes off the bloody gauntlet and kneels four men and women.

“Growl.... ”

I looked at them and looked at Charlotte and said, "What is this?"

“An assassin.”

I like it simple.

I confirmed their nature through Siman.

‘Assassination, seclusion, heavy mouth, belief. ’

And they have a solid idea.

[Even if I die, I won't reveal any secrets.]

“Definitely not a vampire. ”

A simple human assassin.

And they were pretty heavy mouths.

“But what's wrong with these guys? ”

Your face is fine. You don't look injured.

Nevertheless, Charlotte's Gauntlet was covered in blood, and the assassins were panting because they could not die.

“That's …. ”

Charlotte said with an awkward expression.

“Interrogation.... I tried this. ”

"..."

I could barely look at Charlotte.

Charlotte clenches her fist in embarrassment. And slowly, my wife started to complain.

“A little…. I just hit him.”

More torture than interrogation.

He must have been beaten with the same force as the Underworld.

But if she wasn't used to torture, she wouldn't have been able to control her powers, beaten to death and healed.

I looked down at the assassins with my tongue.

“But is it assassination at this time of year? ”

A truce is underway in the Rom Kingdom.

The second prince, Deryan, stated that he would cooperate in a truce for the safety of the Roman Empire in three days.

All you have to do now is sign the document, First Prince Varus.

Immediately, the Kingdom of Rome will enter into a temporary blackout.

Obviously, someone who didn't want to do it did it to stop them.

Of course, there are many suspected culprits.

Ryden, Rose, or Duchess Deryan.

He wouldn't have tried to assassinate me.

Ryden and Rose would never send an assassin of this magnitude.

Then it's Deryan.

And no matter how powerful the kingdom of Rome may be, he won't have the courage to kill the prince.

The target is most likely Varus.

If there's no evidence, he did it because he can get away with it.

He's a loose cannon.

“Am I right? ”

I said what I was thinking.

The assassins sigh and stare down.

It's not answering.

“I interrogated him, but he didn't say anything. ”

Charlotte squeezes her hand as if regretting it.

Every time the Gauntlet hisses, the assassins flinch.

“If you knew this, you'd have brought a Red Cross. ”

They don't even work on holy water torture.

I looked down at the assassins.

I can see Charlotte's mouth closed to prevent her from killing herself.

Those who won't talk even if they die.

“... will you open your mouth when you die?" ”

The assassins stared at me in horror.

I retrieved the Necromancer Books from Aslan's tomb.

‘Evil incantation' used during Ancient Command.

Skill that binds, restrains and tortures the soul.

It can also be used to curse and weaken the opponent. It can also be used to possess the target.

“Let's use it. ”

I stared at the assassins and pulled out a Musket.

You aim for the assassin's chest.

The assassins' eyes widen.

“If your mouth is heavy. ”

Thank goodness I'm not a vampire.

At least human.

“Make it open. ”

I can use a commando.

* *

Prince Deryan ordered this.

- The target is Prince Varus.

- I said I don't have the guts to kill you. Don't ever hurt her.

Translucent souls fly through the air and say,

‘Master’ seemed to be talking about me.

I look at the souls of the assassins with a surprised face.

They seemed to be free spirits, not "tortured," as they appeared in the ancient books.

Purified spirits, talking to them.

‘This is where we do what we couldn't do on Lonia. ’

I thought of the Witch Morgana case.

I wanted to interrogate the undead, but I couldn't talk to the soul because of the technical lack.

Fairly useful technique.

At least with this, it will be easy to interrogate only humans.

By the way.

“Arrogant.”

I frowned.

Neither the others, but the Holy Father's own law enforcement agency, mediated the "blackout."

But Deryan, the Second Prince of the Rom Kingdom, attempted to assassinate Varus, ignoring that order.

Despite being blind to the throne, it is considered a disregard for the Holy Empire.

You think you can make a move without proof?

This was clearly an act of disdain for the Holy Father.

“You can even talk to purified souls. ”

Varus gazes at the invisible soul.

It is seen by ordinary people.

Normally, it would be "evil spirits," but in this case, what should we say?

Should I say the Holy Spirit?

I reached out and grabbed the Holy Spirit.

At that moment, I felt a strange feeling.

[Add a temporary low skill Hidden.]

[Adds a temporary low skill assassination skill.]

I heard a faint voice in my head about adding skills.

When I took my hands off it, it disappeared.

Could this be... surprisingly useful?

I looked at Varus.

“You haven't signed the blackout papers yet? ”

Varus nods with a shivering face.

"Yes, it is. It's not my decision to make on my own. If we have a meeting with the nobles, we have a week or so to go..."

“Then let's go. ”

Varus tilts his head.

“What do you mean?”

“Where is your brother? If we investigate here, nothing else will come out. We'd rather have a truce and the Second Prince Deryan cooperate. ”

Barus' eyes widen.

You'd be surprised.

It's like going in the middle of a hostile.

But I like it.

There's nothing wrong with watching two people in front of you.

We should meet with Luan and see if we can find anything.

“Neither you nor Deryan are friends to me. It's just a means of finding Rose. Know that. ”

I told Varus that and then told Charlotte.

“Let's get ready to go. We need to put some pressure on Deryan, who ignored the Holy See. Don't bother doing any more work. ”

Charlotte nods.

As the wagon was ready, me, Charlotte and Barus headed to Romania, where the capital of the kingdom of Rome and the Second Prince Deryan were.

* *

Deryan feels nervous.

Roll your feet in your office.

I bit my nails and bit off enough blood.

‘Why haven't you heard anything? ’

It's been three weeks since I sent the assassin.

They were extraordinary assassins raised since childhood.

Those who don't tell secrets, even if they die.

Failure to assassinate someone as great as you do now will not harm you.

But I have no choice but to be steamed.

If they were dead, the rebels would be in chaos, and if they were alive, they would have heard about the truce.

But it was too quiet.

This is absurd, but I can't imagine assassins spending money on it.

Then, a guest came to him who was waiting for news.

Knock-knock.

Deryan glances at the door of the office.

Who's there?

No, never mind. The urgent thing right now....

Kung-kung!

It sounded rough.

Deryan looks at the door, flawed.

Boom!

I could feel someone kicking me with their feet.

Deryan's heart nearly sank.

There was a commotion outside.

But no one could stop the one who kicked down the door.

Eventually, the door broke down.

Deryan stares at you, startled.

Luan Olfalls, the First Crown Prince of the Holy See.

The emperor, who was thick when he saw the woman, now has a red face.

“Deryan Victoria! ”

He looks like an evil spirit, and steps forward.

Deryan steps back, startled by a heavy voice.

“Why, why? Your Highness.”

Luan grips Deryan's collar roughly.

I can see his bloodstained face right in front of me.

I feel Luan's wrath.

"What have you done? ”

Deryan is flawed and silent.

Did they find out about the assassination?

No, but that doesn't make the Crown Prince of the Holy See angry enough to turn his eyes upside down.

If Varus dies, the rebels will divide, and eventually the Roman Empire will be united and stable.

If it does, the Holy See will have no trouble investigating.

But why are you so angry?

‘No way...? ’

Deryan's face pales.

I remembered the worst.

Either the assassins hurt the Seven, or they killed him by mistake.

This is the reason for war.

“Is it true you sent assassins? ”

“No, that's...! ”

“If you were going to kill my brother, I'd tear you to shreds. How dare you ignore us? Are you mocking the Great Depression? Will the whole kingdom burn to the ground? ”

This is the trait of Luan's Tyrant.

He raises Deryan in a rage.

Deryan's face pales.

This was not something to be ignored.

Now I had to somehow deny it.

It was time for Deryan to open his mouth.

"That's enough."

Deryan looks at the entrance of the Oval Office, surprised by the strange voice.

There was a boy standing.

“Allen."

Luan opens his arms.

Deryan coughs and squats on the floor.

He turned his gaze and looked at a boy named Allen.

Is that boy Allen? Allen Olfalls?

The Seven Patriarchs of the Holy See.

I thought you were with Varus.

Why would someone like that be here?

What are the soldiers doing? Why didn't you tell me he was coming?

Deryan blames himself.

However, the seven princes' gaze is strange.

He stares at Deryan with an interesting look.

His [Siman] is checking on Deryan.

[Name: Deryan Victoria

Age: 19

Characteristics: Mean temperament, adultery, incitement, arrogance and arrogance, impulsiveness, selfishness, and tyranny.

+ 2I have nothing to fear just by using the Crown Prince and the Vampires!]

Characteristics with a strong ‘spirit’ depending on the status window.

I came to cooperate, but I didn't know Prince Two was such a good cooperator.

Alan rolls up his mouth.

“Found it.”

The cold words creep Deryan's spine.
