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.

Its already too late. Anyone would know that the nobles, led by Duke Barrieta, hold a strong power unless they are stupid. When someones 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 isnt your family, but you have too much affection for him.

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

-Youve already seen my powerful insight and

Whatever I saw, does it change my decision? Besides, even you cant see everything.

-That is true.

Amy.

Yes! Your Majesty!

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

Im going to sleep, so dont 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 cant solve any problem by killing everyone. At least I have to be innocent.

-That meansoh, dear.

She smiled when she realized what I meant.

Because people sometimes cut their rescue rope to survive.

Duke Barrieta would be strangled by the hands of those who served him. I had the evidence of his collusion with the vampire so that I could destroy him right away without any trouble.

Then lets go.

After I created a double of myself sleeping with simple ghost magic, I opened the window.

[ Invisibility ]

Fifth-tier stealth magic. The mana that was stopped at the 4th tier grew and entered the 5th, making it possible to use this spell. I stepped out of the window without hesitation when I found myself slowly assimilating and disappearing into my surroundings.

Secret information guild, Black Moon. There were numerous guilds that specialized in assassination or information in the Al Rown Kingdom. Among the information guilds, Black Moon had overwhelming power and scale that couldnt be challenged at any time. Unlike other information guilds, the range of the Black Moon Guild was widely spread throughout many countries as well as in the Al Rown Kingdom.

The guild leader of the Information Guild frowned at the report in front of him.

Sharis is missing?

Yes, she disappeared without a trace.

Many of Shariss assassins have disappeared before.

Yes, according to the information, it appears that the attempt to assassinate Prince Davey, Prince Barris, and Princess Whitney has failed.

He closed his eyes as his assistant replied with an expressionless face and left. Sharis, who was disguised as Queen Linesss maid, was an A-class intelligent agent. Ostensibly. Moreover, she was an agent from the dispatched headquarters of the Black Moon Guild. Unknown name, unknown address, and possessing an alluring beauty and a sense of intimidation.

The Black Moon Guild could be said to be a big guild. The exact origin of the Guild was so deep that even the Guild leader of the Al Rown Kingdom branch couldnt fathom it. Therefore, he had no way to prove whether Sharis was an A-class agent. She could have been just a member of the headquarters disguised as an A-class. Was it possible to defeat someone like her?

Even though her skill was known as A-class, and it wouldnt be strange if she had a higher class based on her performance. It just didnt make sense that such a person like her failed in her assassination and was now missing, presumably due to the weak prince who was known to have neither physical strength nor political power.

It seems like things are going erratically. I will have to leave this place after burning all the information except for whats necessary.

The choice had to be made boldly. If you sense something strange, you have to get out of the place quickly to survive. With these kinds of thoughts in mind, the leader of the Black Moon Guild quietly pressed the button that was attached to the bottom of the desk. The button would call his assistant.

Clickclick, click.

However, he didnt hear anyone coming even after pressing the button a few more times. The moment he pressed the button, someone was supposed to come into his room, but no one showed up. What did this mean? It was like an alarm ringing, driving his instincts.

Oh shit!

Stop, dont move.

Then, he heard a quiet voice coming from thin air. The voice was soft but eerie at the same time.

Huh?!

Bang!

The moment he pulled his sword from the sheath when he heard the voice, a black figure appeared and broke his arm, quickly pressing him into his desk.

Wellits human. Are you not a vampire?

The voice that muttered was that of a boy, who was probably mid-to-late teens at most.

I dont mind you screaming, no one is coming, no matter how much you shout.

The boy, squeezing him and whispering, stretched out his finger. Simultaneously, the tightly closed door opened slowly. A strong smell of blood stabbed him in his nose.

Oh my god, dear god!

His eyes opened in astonishment. When it came to secrecy, the Black Moon Guild was one of the best guilds. It was where the best assassins in the kingdom gathered, and dozens of people who were perfect assassins were hidden there. But not a single person noticed when he entered. If anyone had noticed, he would have received the report.

But not now. As if everyone didnt even know how they died, there was no sign of resistance.

He is strong! If things are going this way, I cant even resist for a second and will die!

He instantly thought he would die at the hands of the boy who overpowered him; it didnt matter where he came from. He had many talented people in his Guild capable of killing anything without being spotted. But none of that mattered; this boy was capable of attacking the best information guild in the Al Rown Kingdom.

And, he held no mercy in his hands.

Huhwho sent you? Are you from the Luxo Guild, Karsha guild, or notdid 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. Thats 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 youif you wanted some information I hope you followed the proper process

Its not something that could be bought with just money.

At the boys words, he clenched his teeth and thought calmly. If he went against the boys will, he was going to die. Although he had excellent assassination skills, the boy had exceptional talent. If so, he shouldnt bother him as much as possible.

II will tell you everything. Ill give you the information you want.

Really? Well, Ill take it if youre offering.

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

He agreed, but he didnt 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.

Huffhuff

I dont 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.

Whatwhat?

There will be information that Duke Barrieta has collected secretly to take their lives. And hell keep them here, right?

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

Hmm

However, his actions were quickly blocked. The boys 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 didnt 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 couldnt 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.

* * *

HHere 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.

II gave everything you wanted. Sso 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.
