King of Shadows

She was surprised by what she didn't expect. His story was closely related to him. He will, too. He was the one who planned the assassination.

After calming his palpitations, Jay sighed secretly. It was a funny assumption to think I'd been found out. Because if you really thought that, you would have let Kay into this room. This conversation could not have been established.

Moreover, it was him and Kay who talked about it. Even if information leaks out, it is extremely unlikely that it will point to itself. Jay, who judged the situation calmly, regained his relaxation.

"Can you hear the details?"

"It's easy to understand to talk from the beginning. You don't know, but Kay's engagement to me takes a very formal form: a unified engagement between the Rolf and the Crossens to confront the ruefel family, which is one of the most powerful families in all three generations. Well, it's okay to call it a merger."

Jay knew that Ei and Kay's engagement was a setback to bring down the House of Rufus. But there was a big difference between what we predicted and what we heard directly from the parties. After organizing the new information, Jay nodded his head and listened to A.

"That way, when the Roland and Crossens merge normally, the next leader of the family becomes Kay and me. We're at the center of things in the beginning."

"Of course, if you live to see it, you will."

As Jay got to the point, he opened his mouth with a calm voice.

"That's right. House Rufus is wary of the birth of great power. more aggressive than I could have imagined. It's natural for me and Kay to be the point of concern in that. You have already been threatened with your life several times. I came here as a watchman, myself and Kay, to avoid the Luftel family bludgeoning."

"There are no supporting bases for the top three families on Earth. It is also one of the most influential places in the special command department where three generations are powerless. Obviously, there's no such thing as a threat here. Isn't that right?"

Gate-autonomous resonance dimensional leap-derivatives that could cross from Zephyros to Earth were also carefully managed inside the circle. It was foolish to be able to quickly detect suspicious movements.

"Yes, it is. There's no better place to stay than the Rolves and the Crossens. And for the sake of The Circle, there's the excuse that you left all the privileges and went out on your own. No matter how hard the Rufus try, it doesn't matter. But that doesn't mean the risk is gone. That doesn't mean the Rufus gave up."

"A minority elite?"

"I don't know about that. But we wouldn't have sent a lot of them. Maybe he was in a hurry to send one."

Jay scratches his chin. So far, he was able to make an analogy. Nothing new. The actions of the revolving monarchs toward power were unparalleled both then and now.

"Anyway, what I'm wary of is when it comes to operations. because if you move without any kind of preparation, you can show the loopholes to people from the Ruffel family."

"It could be."

Due to the adversity of the King of Shadows, special command has issued a special treaty to keep everything about the operation confidential by the end of the day. It's a natural containment of information leakage.

The advantages of blocking the Shadow King from moving in advance, however, all the reactions had to be borne by the pioneers dispatched to Earth.

He is in a position to carry out his duties with an unprepared body. Whatever he was doing, he must have been running out of time. Not to mention confused.

'...?!'

Obviously, Jay had to twitch. It was also because he was going to kill Ei. No matter how hard I think about it, it was impossible to kill without a trace.

"As you might have anticipated, I was hesitant to bring up such a sensitive story because I needed someone to protect me and Kay when I came to a situation I was concerned about. You're the only pioneer I know I can trust around here, Jay."

"I see."

"Of course, I don't expect vague favors or dedication. When I'm in the position of the next week, I'll return the favor. I will show my best to you and your loved ones. If you don't believe me, I'll give you a down payment."

"... hmm."

When Jay closed his eyes and wept, a sharp light remained and disappeared from Ei's eyes. At the end of screening and screening, Ei chose Jay as his long-term term.

I thought I could use Jay, who saved Kay by throwing himself all over. If Jay was an assassin sent from the House of Rufus, he wouldn't have killed Kay then. Jay was a reliable talent just looking at the opportunity to blame everything on the King of Shadows.

An orphan from the Slum. A noble bloodline who grew up full of pride since childhood. A pioneer living off the beaten path of a wild dog rather than an elite. And a watchman with abilities more useful than I thought. After everything, Aelle provoked him from the moment he met Jay. To see my nature, I said ugly and dirty words without hesitation.

But Jay didn't see any reaction. Rather, he appeared to be submissive to power. Safety first. Absolutely okay character. Typical culprit. Given a reward, it was also a drinking tool for both soda water.

'This is what I thought from the beginning.'

Thinking back to what happened two months ago, Jay realized why Ei was trying to recruit himself. He had known the dangers of coming to him ever since. He must have opened his mouth to gather more meat shields. To put it simply, I threw a decoy. Bait that is good to bite and not bad to bite. It was unpleasant, but not revealing, so Jay envisioned the future in his mind.

'It's a good thing a third party showed up. There's someone close by who's full of thoughts of killing Ei. Maybe without touching, without snoring.'

Wouldn't it be better to leave it alone? After thinking about it, Jay burst his elasticity. The assassin who received the master of the House of Rufus was not the only one after Ei. Kay was also included in the assassination.

Kay is a combat powerless Eywa. If you were an assassin, who would you go after first? Jay shakes his head. It was Kay without a thought. I felt like there was one more lump in my chest.

Even if I had killed Ei cleanly, he would not have missed Kei's death. May have been a bigger part of the fact that Kay died than the fact that she killed Ei. If the rumor that he cared about his daughter so much was the same as the reality, he might lose more than he gained.

"I don't think he'll have any patriotism left for his daughter to use as a tool of power..."

Like it or not, I had to deal with an assassin sent by House Rufus next to Ei.

"It looks like you're having a hard time all of a sudden.

It was not a simple matter. In the worst case, both Ei and the assassin could have to be killed. No one will ever know. Jay remembers Grogan, who gave him a greasy head. Whether he took out the assassination card or not, he couldn't have known.

Obviously, he didn't discuss it on purpose. Asking for assassination-A- and protection-K- at the same time would also cost twice as much.

'You want to leave everything to my judgment by creating a situation that I have no choice in. You're annoying, but you can't ignore it.'

It was a shallow trick, but it worked wonders. Jay, who put himself in the position of, had to voluntarily even do after-sales service. Jay bites his lips, thinking about Lara and the children's faces in his head. I had to endure it now.

"What do you think? Will you accept my offer?"

"... Can't you just give us a minute?"

"I want a more concrete answer right now. It's a contention. You set it in your mind anyway."

Jay, wearing a mask, pretended to think. He appealed to A that he was such a prudent person. But discretion and shyness are the difference between a piece of paper. Before Ei's patience revealed the floor, Jay sighed and opened his mouth.

"I can't help you if you want my help so badly. I'll help you as far as I can. But keep in mind this: It's never your fault I'm helping you. It's all for my family."

"Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter now. Now that I'm aboard this ship, I will have the least respect for you. We look forward to seeing you again."

Jay, who held hands with Ey, desperately hid his leaky smile. The target summoned itself. I did not need to approach Ei unnaturally. Rather, Ey must have been relaxed and had to deal with himself. Things worked out terribly well. The dining table is absolutely gorgeous. All Jay had to do was put some spoons in there.

After looking at the place where there was still warmth, Jay smiled bitterly shortly after.

"What happens if I leave the fish to the cat?"

It's also fun to put a splint on the back. After imagining the moment when Ei's face was distorted with despair and anger, Jay trembled with indescribable joy.

Hailer Continent, a forest built deep enough to resist the sun. The trunks and vines harden and harden like steel, and the ground is jagged like jelly. Sihyun steps into a place where no one can come, not even getting out of the way, and avoids the flames that fly towards him.

"How about this!"

The cluster of light gathered to its limit, vomiting out loud, went in a straight line. Fireflies shot from the tip of Lynn's index finger contain a heat so high that her vision distorts instantly.

Although it was a ten-minute blow from the fox beads, Xi Hyun's finger blocks the flame that burns everything around him with a harmless face. Although the harder bush was melted down to nothing than steel, it was still peaceful inside.

Lin strokes the Ring of Shadow once, and within it, her wings reveal a silk, whose defense is rapidly increasing in proportion to the user's thinking. Lin moves her fluttering wingsuit with a single gesture. The long silk moves quickly and aims for the ankle, but even the striations are not allowed.

He grabs the twisted wingsuit at an odd angle and pulls it without hesitation. Lin, who couldn't miss her wingsuit in time, tries to fall, but Bererosa rises high behind her.

"Here, too."
