Chapter 72

She just looked at me for a second. Then sighed.

"You know, the shadows are much more than just assassination. A big part of our duty is also protection. When it comes to fighting demons, protecting the council, or protecting the remnants of the Imperium. Our jobs are much more than assassination. I hope they don't use it as a tool. The last person I knew like you, ended up dead."

I looked at her in surprise, I didn't know the shadows did so much. Then again, I had only been used for assassination, but as I thought about the reasons. The Arch-Mage I didn't know why, but it could have been to do with working for the nightingales perhaps. Maybe he was some kind of traitor. The ambassador is easier for me to understand. It was to cause a war so that the remnants could be protected.

As I was thinking over what she said, I then began to think more about the nightingales.
