Episode 30

As expected, father must not have completely forgotten you, mother. However, you have been holding on to the wound for too long. Do you know why I want to leave this damn kingdom alone without destroying it? I smiled at him, thinking to myself.

“Your Majesty.”

“...”

“It’s already too late. Anyone would know that the nobles, led by Duke Barrieta, hold a strong power unless they are stupid. When someone’s life is in danger, they cut their rescue rope to survive.”

“Davey...”

“They say that children resemble their parents. However, I will be different. If you are the king and a father who abandons your family for the sake of the country, then I am willing to take a different path.”

He went silent at my firm answer.

“You said the throne is the brightest spot that numerous people want to sit.”

At my words, his eyes lowered quietly.

“You should polish the seat and give it to Barris. I am not interested in it even if it is given to me.”

-You tend to be a little harsh.

‘It was necessary to do this.’

-Tch. Tch, you said he isn’t your family, but you have too much affection for him.

As I returned to the palace, muttering bitterly, I looked at Perserk.

-You’ve already seen my powerful insight and...

‘Whatever I saw, does it change my decision? Besides, even you can’t see everything.’

-That is true.

“Amy.”

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

She raised her head, responding to my call with a cheerful face.

“I’m going to sleep, so don’t let anyone in.”

“Sure.”

Amy could have asked a question, which she did at first. But now, she quietly obeyed my order without any questions. Was it because she trusts me, or was she just obedient?

-Where are you going?

‘The rabbit digs several ways to escape.’

-Yes.

‘Did you say it was the Black Moon? Duke Barrieta would have hidden a lot of information in case his people betray him.’

If I find all the information there, I could tear the limbs off of the nobles.

-Then a bloody wind will blow.

‘I told you, I can’t solve any problem by killing everyone. At least I have to be innocent.’

-That means...oh, dear.

She smiled when she realized what I meant.

“Huh...who sent you? Are you from the Luxo Guild, Karsha guild, or not...did the headquarter send you?”

Although he was the guild leader of the Black Moon Guild in the Al Rown Kingdom, the headquarters of the Black Moon Guild was an unreliable organization. That’s why it was a very secret and dangerous place. The Karsha Guild and the Luxo Guild, who were their competitors, were great but not significant enough to destroy the Black Moon Guild overnight like this. If so, was the headquarters trying to exit this place? There were thoughts in his head, but he remained silent.

“Do you want to live?”

In the dark, his red eyes curled eerie and strangely.

“Huh?!”

“If you want to live, I want you to give me some information.”

He heard him giggle, causing goosebumps to rise on his arms.

“If you...if you wanted some information... I hope you followed the proper process...”

“It’s not something that could be bought with just money.”

At the boy’s words, he clenched his teeth and thought calmly. If he went against the boy’s will, he was going to die. Although he had excellent assassination skills, the boy had exceptional talent. If so, he shouldn’t bother him as much as possible.’

“I...I will tell you everything. I’ll give you the information you want.”

“Really? Well, I’ll take it if you’re offering.”

‘Stupid bastard! You are the one who threatened to steal the information.’

He agreed, but he didn’t resist. If he said something wrong, he was going to die. That was what his instincts screamed.

Phew!

When the restraining force holding his body disappeared instantly, he fell and took a deep breath. It was a very harsh and dull reaction, unlike his usual self.

“Huff...huff...”

“I don’t want a lot. Give me the list of the nobles who are the limbs of Duke Barrieta, who are shaking the country, and the notes on the corruption they committed.”

“What...what?”

“There will be information that Duke Barrieta has collected secretly to take their lives. And he’ll keep them here, right?”

At that, the guild leader quickly turned his gaze to confirm the boy’s identity in front of him.

“Hmm...”

However, his actions were quickly blocked. The boy’s hand was slightly bent, and eerie energy suppressed his whole body.

‘Master Assassin!’

Realizing what the eerie energy was, his expression turned to fright. Very few assassins reached the master level, which was extremely difficult. It may be possible to beat a master, but very few people broke through the barrier of self-enlightenment. So it didn’t take much time to realize how absurd the boy in front of him was.

‘A Master Assassin in a small country like this?! Nonsense!’

He was the prince who has been in a coma for six years. He couldn’t understand from common sense that the prince, who had been awakened for less than half a year, had such skills. He smiled at the boy, Davey.

“Just to let you know, detecting lies is my specialty. No need to bluff. The choice is up to you.”

Because of his terrifying energy, the guild leader trembled quietly.

* * *

“H...Here you are.”

As soon as I received the scroll from the shuddering man, I immediately checked the contents and put it quietly in my arms as if to save it.

“I...I gave everything you wanted. S...so please step back now.”

“Well...”

As if he was worried, his expression was wrinkled. What else do you want from me?!

His face was saying something like that.
