Chapter 26-1

Naturally, he would thoroughly erase any traces of himself and his subordinates and hide in a hideout.

Even if only the soldiers of the duke and Marquis were pursuing them, they could easily shake them off.

However, if someone as strong as Sion Laird were to join in, it might become a bit tricky.

If hes that skilled, giving up the mission might be a better choice.

It wasnt just a matter of killing Sion Naturally or not being able to kill him.

To kill a knight with such swordsmanship skills, one had to be prepared for the possibility of annihilation, and if they couldnt kill him, the other side could retaliate.

Choosing either one meant taking on a lot of risk, making the mission itself meaningless.

I couldnt kill that infamous crazy girl, and I earned the enmity of Sion Laird. If we were engaged, those feelings wouldnt disappear.

Sion Laird was not aware of the identity of the rebels and the reason for the surprise attack, but he was involved in this mission and personally stood up to stop the rebels.

Perhaps Sion Laird was seized with intense emotions just because he attacked Hanette Adelaira.

We cant handle him at our level reporting to higher-ups is the right thing to do.

The man had a rough idea of what would happen after he reported.

The higher-ups would take this issue sensitively and try to gradually reduce the number of hiding places in the capital.

After that, they would discuss how to deal with Sion Laird, but they would likely conclude that it was better to keep a closer eye on him, as interfering with him could only put the rebels in danger.

He blocked the magic with just sword. What kind of trick did he use?

The man observed Sion Laird from not far away.

In the original plan, they had to eliminate all nobles, including the royal family and the dukes.

However, at the time, the nobles, including the royal family and the dukes, led the rebellion, so they couldnt hold them accountable.

Above all, they had to gain their support in order to establish a new dynasty.

But if they stand in our way, we must exclude them.

The new dynasty couldnt embrace everything that had stayed in the past.

Things had to be discarded, and loyal and trustworthy individuals had to be placed under their command

Only then could they prevent it from falling again and preserve that bloodline for a long time.

We want to pull them over to our side, but its too late.

Marquis Laird had already arranged a strategic marriage with Adelaira, the dukes daughter, through his youngest son.

Although it could be broken off in the middle, it was unlikely to happen because of their relationship.

Even if there was a chance to make them allies, they couldnt be sure if Sion Laird would cooperate.

I can only wait for orders.

The man quickened his pace with a sigh.

Failure was sometimes inevitable in missions, but he couldnt tolerate the emergence of a strong enemy.

If that enemy were to run rampant, not only their hiding place but also their superiors would be in danger.

I wonder what should we do with Sion Laird?
