"Understandable," Blade responded with a nod.
Several kilometers away, twenty assassins stood on large trees, discreetly observing the group of luxurious Cameos and knights riding beside them.
"Is that the target's carriage?" a large man inquired, and turned to look at his comrades.
"Yes, our client informed us that they would pass through today in a luxurious carriage. The fact that they use Cameos means that they are wealthy, and the knights accompanying them are wearing expensive armor. Additionally, the symbol of the Sandeph Highland is on their carriage," another assassin pointed out, indicating the green emerald with three swords pierced into it on the carriage's side.
"Prepare yourselves," a purple-robed assassin instructed as he pulled up his mask.
"Yes, sir!" All the other assassins affirmed before disappearing into the shadows.
Leaning against a tree, the purple-robed assassin gazed coldly at the Cameo carrying Aurianna and Blade.
