Chapter 6 Revolutionary era begins
Present time
Ragnar received the letter with indifference on his face. He expected something like this would happen sooner or later without his intervention. However, he would have protected the king if he was young, now he would watch it happen.
" Tell the grand scholar that I won't join in the battle, but I will persuade royal knights and city guards. Make it quick as possible you can."
He ripped the letter and destroyed the evidence with his mana. His cold words immediately brightened the expression of the envoy since he knew Ragnar was the spear of the country. He would destroy and conquer anyone who dared to bare their fangs toward them.
" He would be pleased to hear your response, Master Ragnar. What about the grand general?"
He asked with curiosity because Ragnar was able to close his eyes. Ragnar sat down in his chair and he knocked the table with a serious face.
" He will fight against him, but you can manage him without my assistance and I promise to keep Blood Society in check."
He said, knowing the biggest problem was Blood Society. They consisted of 5 head members who had lived through eons, controlling the kingdom since the death of the first emperor Burhan Khan. Their objective was unclear, but one thing was sure in their plan. They were puppeteering most of the kings in their palms including the current king. Ragnar hated them more than the king.
The envoy bowed with politeness as he retired back. He put back his gloves on and walked towards the exit under the guidance of the maid.
Somewhere in the north.
Three shadowy figures were standing on the cliff while looking down at the ground. The elder man had no expression on his face while the younger ones had different expressions. One was filled with arrogance while the other was filled with pity. Even so, the elder man didn't take into account of their personality. The assassins must have strong minds and bodies to successfully finish their tasks despite their being humans.
" This is your last destination. Your target is a woman who is known as the big mother in this town. She was an intelligent officer prior to her retirement, but her mouth hadn't been shut recently. We found out that she had sold our information to other countries. Find her and dispose of her without my help."
He spoke coldly, disappearing into the shadow. His figure was nowhere to be seen. The young man with short daggers glanced at the young man with a short sword.
" Brother, can you leave her to me? I want to inherit his position as the strongest assassin. You have no desire for that."
He asked, knowing the young man had no ambitions. The young man silently looked at him, his face was calm and his eyes were steady. Unlike his brother, he had the perfect traits for the assassin, but he had one fatal flaw. He was a kind person. No matter what he did, he couldn't take innocent lives even if they were mission targets.
" Blaze, I will leave her to you, but you have to promise one thing. No matter what happens you can't request my help, otherwise, I will deem you unworthy of the succession even if I have no desire for it. Father will agree with my words."
The young man said, showing his stance toward his brother. He didn't want his brother to die like a cockroach on the road. He wanted him to survive despite his absence in the future.
Blaze rolled his eyes as he tied his hair. He quietly jumped down to the cliff while hopping around with extremely nimble movements. His blonde hair was drifting in the wind and he was smiling with excitement. For the first time, he had a chance to contend with his brother. Although he respected his brother, he never followed his footprints.
Swoosh*
He landed on the roof of the slum house and proceeded to the area where he could target the woman. Even though the sunlight had died, he could see the outside clear as the day.
He pulled his dagger and carefully looked around his surroundings, making sure that there was no tail.
" It seems to be fine."
He muttered, showing his bright smile.
