Who would look at him and think of him as a slayer on the battlefield? A small puppy that got rained on and became scruffy would rather suit him.

“I’ve heard of it since I wasn’t in the capital.”

He didn’t know it would be this bad.

Lars smiled in vain at the poor Sor. Of course, only inside.

He has often heard from others who have long gone to the capital city that his master fell in love with a person called his fiancée and became half-broken.

– I’m telling you the truth, Lars. Whenever he talks about his fiancée, he becomes a completely different person! You have to see this in person!

He didn’t believe it then, but it was amazing to see it in person.

Lars was definitely the most trusted sword by Sor, but paradoxically, for the same reason, he was away from Sor all the time while defending the him, which was difficult for him to manage.

It has only been about a month since he came back to the capital after being called by Sor.

Of course, that didn’t mean that he didn’t meet Sor very much while he was away.

‘At that time, there was no mention of his fiancee.’

Therefore, it was the first time for Lars to see Sor look like this.

And Lars thought it wasn’t too bad.

‘Except that I can’t get used to this sometimes.’

Oh, and except for the overtime from cleaning up.

Lars has been the only person who has been with Sor since he went to the battlefield under the name of Duke of Salvador at the young age of fifteen.

Currently, there were a few more people working under Sor’s control, but Lars was the only one who has been together since then.

The reason is not much.

Because everyone else who participated with them died.

From either the enemy’s sword, or the sword of Sor.

“Since it’s the Duke of Salvador, there were many traitors.”

There were many cases when they jokes and swears their allegiance at day, then try to assassinate the duke at night.

There were various reasons for each.

It’s either they don’t have enough money at home, or their is taken hostage, or they want to stop going to the battlefield, etc.

Lars would know better than himself how cold and sharp Sor was.

So he couldn’t even imagine how soft her became.

‘In the first place, he didn’t even seem to be very interested in his fiancée at first.’

Lars recalled his memories of the battlefield.

Sometimes, when letters came, Sor always threw away the letters without opening them.

Therefore, it was always up to Lars to check the letter and decide whether to burn it or not, but once there was also a news about his fiancée.

-Huh, sir. I think you should see this. Your Excellency has a fiancée. I think the elders recommended it. The person who is engaged is rolling here. What nonsense is this engagement- !

– Leave it. Isn’t it an engagement that you have to do someday anyway?

– Aren’t you going to check?

– I’ll find out when I go back. She has nothing to do with me.

That was all about the story of his fiancée. It was just a sour reaction that Lars knew.

But he can’t believe this change.

What on earth melted the cold heart of the Duke of Salvador?

Lars was crazy curious, but as always, he kept his curiosity in his arms.

All he had to do now was not ask questions to Sor, but to finish reporting quickly and go to overtime.

It’s a little funny that even his “next-work” is about Sor’s fiancée.

Fortunately, Sor put down the paper and opened his mouth, perhaps he didn’t intend to be immersed in reminiscing for so long.

“Anyway, it’s true that I’ve held you for a long time, so let’s me see and listen to you first.”

“That’s a wise choice. First of all, I bought the “gift” as you ordered. The winning bid is 320 million gold.”

“Okay. What about ‘target’?

“That’s the problem.”

Lars, who had been bright all along, looked a little worse.

“As you said, I tried to kill him when I left the auction, but there was an unexpected person attached to the ‘target’.”

At Lars’ words, Sor loosely held his chin and asked.

“I understand the excuse, but are you a person who can’t handle it even though I summoned you to the capital?”

“He deals with the shadows. As far as I know, there is only one such human on the continent.”

“Zodiac’s guild leader.”

Instead, Sor’s eyes were slightly distorted.

“That’s an unexpected person.”

“Of course, I could have killed him if I wanted to kill him as ordered, but if I did, I would have went against the Zodiac guild leader in the process.”

“I wouldn’t be able to escape because he would use his ability to cover up the whole case.”

Although little is known about the identity of the Zodiac’s guild master, it is well-known that he is good at concealing and stealth his ability to deal with shadows.

Some say that he was able to raise Zodiac, who was only an information guild, to the S rank because of his ability.

It is obvious what the consequences would be if Lars had to fight one-on-one with Zodiac’s guild master to kill the “target.”

But failure was a failure, and Lars bent his back.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you.”

“Never mind. There was a guild leader of Zodiac, not anyone else, but I know you can’t do anything about it alone.”

As if Sor knew well, he waved his hand and raised himself. He stared at the newsletter that he had been looking at a while ago.

“I told you, Lars, but it’s meaningless if their deaths are not revealed. This is an example.”

An example for dirty human trash who put the name of salvation on the shoulders of only one girl and pass on all the burdens, and now wash their mouths.

So even though he knew there was a risk, Sor made his track record appear.

Only then will the trash less than other humans be scared and shut up.

Nothing can incite people better than fear.

After Sor cleaned up the targets, those who dare to make insulting remarks in the face of Thisbe will disappear.

“Thisbe also said she was happy that the bugs died.”

That was enough to put blood on his hands.

“I don’t know why Zodiac is involved in this”.

Sor’s fingertips swept over the empty paper. A gloomy voice came out slowly.

“There is only one target left, and there are more opportunities.”

Let’s not fail next time.

The voice of the command was unusually quiet.

There were more chances for Baron Lunette to die.

Yeah, there were more chances for Baron Lunette to die.

。+.。☆゚:;。+゚ ☆*゚¨゚゚・*:..゙

 

“There’s a lot of that, too. Malone, you do that when you collect information.”, Thisbe explained.

Then the answer came back from the diamond-shaped black jewel in her hand.

“When I collect information, I come up with the one and only opportunity by making more detailed strategies than anyone else.”

“Oh, you were so meticulous that you begged me to buy things at the auction yesterday?”

“Anyway, the target was saved, so that’s enough, right?”

“The problem is that yesterday is not the end.”

Thisbe replied, putting the jewelry down on the table.

The jewelry she was holding a while ago was a kind of jewel, an object that could communicate with Malone easily.

‘To be more precise, some of Malone’s shadows were trapped in the jewel to make it easier to communicate.’

Anyway, it was a useful item. Thisbe has always used this jewel to talk to Malone since she was banned from going out.

As soon as she woke up late in the morning, Thisbe called him first.

The reason was simple.

– Malone! Is Baron Lunette alive?

– Of course. Who do you think am I?

To confirm the life and death of the “target” left to Malone last night because she was returned home with Sor.

– You were right, lady. There’s someone who’s aiming for the target. I didn’t come at him myself. But I tried to get a clue about the criminal.

Thisbe didn’t bring Malone only because he knew Thisbe’s plan well.

It was thanks to his ability of concealment and stealth.

‘The ability inherited from the man who had taken away Malone.’

The ability to deal with shadows, also known as darkness.

At this time, the term “shadow” means not only the shade that occurs when things are covered by light, but also all darkness.

So only a few people can beat Malone in dark places.

‘In addition, he can cover up the murder scene.’

It is also easy to recognize the trajectory because he can grasp all the shadows within a specific radius.

So Thisbe planned to stick Malone next to the stupid Baron Lunette, who didn’t even know that death was just around the corner, and then catch the person who was rushing to kill him and dig up information.

The problem is that the other party was not easy either.

– As you said, I was hiding in the shadow and following the target, but he recognized it and ran away. He’s definitely not an ordinary guy.

– If he recognized that, would he have recognized that it was you?

– I think that’s better.

– Why? Because your skills are well known?

– No, this and that are different matters. It won’t be difficult to recognize my identity by looking at me in a shadow. But the fact that he recognized me even though I was hiding myself.

– He’s a talented person who can see through the darkness.

-That’s right. Although darkness is definitely a specialized technique for hiding, it doesn’t work for highly developed people.

– I don’t think such a person will be that common.

It’s not common. There were only about four or five people.

It is difficult to dismiss it as a coincidence if such an uncommon talented person was aiming for the Baron Lunette’s life. Something unusual was recreating the events of <Monster Flower>.
