Master’s Smile

Episode One Hundred and Third: The Assassins

Uh, I'm surprised.

I lowered my hand, sighing in relief.

I'm really surprised.

I can't believe the man who was manipulating the carriage set a bow against Princess Nina...

I'm glad I happened to be watching, but if I hadn't noticed, Princess Nina might have died.

My "Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla)" boys were almost stumbled upon from the start when I asked them to recognize their strength.

"... sorry, master. Thanks for your help.... Nevertheless, while the master has sword moves that can teach the litter a sword, he can also manipulate powerful magic.... Who the hell are you?

Princess Nina asks me that question as I thank her.

No, because you didn't teach Litter about swords.

Besides, it's only as good as the magic that's in vain, and I can't apologize to the other members if I can't keep this up.

"Ugh!? Oh, my arm. Huh!?

Rather than your..., an assassin targeting Princess Nina is screaming as she rolls down the ground.

... the fact that I have erased both arms is making me feel a little overdone.

But let me make an excuse, even I couldn't afford it.

That's why I couldn't do the clever thing of just erasing the bow, but erasing every arm that has it.

also, sorry...... Should I stop the blood...?

"Oh, can the master also use healing magic!? If that's the case, help that knight more than the bad guy."

Princess Nina said so to me, and I turned to my lord, whom I had wiped out.

Hmm. Surely, you should help the knight of the escort, who put his body up so hard to help her, rather than the assassin who targeted the life of Princess Nina.

Well, I think you'll be suspicious if you can put all your magic into full force, so let's try to use restorative magic to the extent that he completely removes the life-threatening crisis.

"... Master, it was an amazing magic bullet"

Litter approached me a little bit and praised me so when I was doing restorative magic on a knight who was falling and unconscious.

No, no, you were more amazing.

Because I handled Kimyra perfectly without letting her hands or feet out.

I can also snort that Princess Nina's trust is thick.

"Yeah."

When I praise him back, Ritter nods proudly and slaps himself in the head with a petite slap.

...? Did you hurt your head?

I'm worried and I'll take a look, but I don't see any such scratches.

"... nade"

Oh, I see!

I'm finally getting good at it and stroking her pretty black hair so she doesn't get hurt. [M]

It was then a litter that narrowed its eyes satisfactorily.

Apparently, he stroked his head before and then boomed, sometimes asking for it.

You can also see the litter that makes you feel comfortable, so even I would welcome it.

But can I assume that now I've been admitted to some extent by her?

Now I hope the members of the Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla) will acknowledge that I will receive some work.

"Hey, you"

Turn to the one whose arms Princess Nina has lost, and speak.

Then the LORD will whisper his throat.

"Sorry! I'm sorry! I'll tell you everything about the guy who hired me! So help me! Heal my arm!

Before answering Princess Nina's questions, the one who speaks everything.

Instead of giving him information, he wants you to save his life.

... although I feel a little glamorous that you can heal my arm as well.

Nevertheless, it would be better to have information on those who hired him to target the life of Princess Nina.

Now, what decision will Princess Nina make......

"No, fine."

"... Huh?

Princess Nina said a few words so that she could cut off my thoughts.

And he cut off with his sword the neck of Pocan, and of his lord, who had opened his mouth.

The fat muscle is brilliant, and it would have killed your Lord without causing him more suffering than he needs.

... Nevertheless, are you glad you killed the assassin?

Sure, it wouldn't have been permissible to target the princess of the Kingdom of Evan, but it wouldn't have been nice to have let her spit on the information.

"Well, you don't have to ask me that. I'm not sure who sent this guy in."

Princess Nina said boringly, putting her sword to the sheath.

"That's it... brother...!

"Oh, no, you seem to have failed..."

A room in the royal castle of the Kingdom of Evan. In this place, Linz's private room, a skinny man quickly-raised his glasses and raised his voice.

The man, dressed in a thin, dirty white coat, was once named Vissen, whom Ritter taught his master by diligently mobilizing his vague memories.

"Prince, the raid failed. Princess Nina is still alive."

"Shit! What are you doing, Vissen! You said you could do it, so I let you do it."

Linz, who received Vissen's report, bitterly distorts his face.

The content of the story was something no one could ever be allowed to hear.

But here we are with Linz, the mastermind of that raid, and Vissen, the alchemist.

Plus, it's just another man.

"No. I did say it would be easy to assassinate Princess Nina with my demon, Chimaira, but there was an unexpected intrusion."

"You think it's an unexpected disturbance? I'm guessing you're not talking about Ritter, are you? You already know that he has a strength beyond what people know."

"No, well, I was expecting that if it was just Kimyra, we wouldn't be able to defeat the Ritter Knight. Isn't that why you sent the assassin who turned you into one?"

Linz stares sharply at Vissen, who makes a lame excuse.

But there was no way he, the outward alchemist, could have been frightened to this extent.

Neither did Vissen think he could defeat that litter to the extent of Kimyra.

The most powerful of the Knights of the Kingdom, and undoubtedly the strongest of the Knights of the Nina sect.

That's why it was her plan to snipe Nina at the assassin who let you turn her into one while she was running out of hands on Kimyra.

"If it's my mess - you're the man who was hooked on Princess Nina. I didn't think you were such a powerful wizard! Besides, I wasn't sure what the magic of the attribute was. Ah! Attribute magic that erases the arms of your man...... what the hell is it! Yihihihihihihihi!!

"Shit..."

Vissen laughed out loudly as he turned his eyes behind his glasses glued.

Linz, who saw it, already knew that he had entered his world.

I sighed when I remembered the Guildmaster Rousseld of "The Iron Queen (Einieken)," who was once a pawn, saying how all around me there were spiritually strange people.

But now I don't have time to mourn like this.

If Nina's assassination fails, she will hardly be the next king unless she strikes her next hand as soon as possible.

"Teldorf"

"Ha."

So Linz decided to use his new hand.

Teldorf, the Knights of the Kingdom of Evan, boasts the strongest force in his own faction.

He would definitely beat Ritter.

"I give you orders. Kill all the nobles who belong to your sister's faction."

…………

But Linz didn't give Teldorf cheap orders like the Nina assassination.

Indeed, it would be possible for him to kill all the litters near Nina.

But Ritter also has considerable strength and won't be able to kill the quiet he needs for the assassination.

Definitely, it must be a fierce fight.

If that happens, there will be witnesses to whatever it takes, and if Teldorf, who has already made it clear that he is a faction of Linz, was attacking the Litters, Linz's is in danger.

That's why it involves killing Nina indirectly, not directly.

The choice of King of the Kingdom of Evan is a democratic one: the vote of the nobles.

Then it will inevitably be Linz who will be king if he kills a nobleman like the one who votes for Nina.

Even if you don't kill all the nobles of the Nina sect, if you kill some of them to show off, more people will realize you're scared and join the faction of Linz.

Linz self-admired the operation as perfect, but the question was whether Teldorf, this executor, would obey it with great care.

Well, we have measures.

"What happened to your reply? Teldorf."

"... this kind of thing"

"Well, are you willing to give me an answer?... support for your daughter, can we stop it?

".................. Huh!?

It was Teldorf who managed to resist the despicable orders, but he had to shut up about Linz's words.

On his head, there's still a little girl smile on his face.

Perseverance as a knight of the kingdom and the life of his daughter. Teldorf chose those two over the balance......

"... ok"

Teldorf's balance leaned toward his daughter.

When he bowed his head to Linz, he left Linz's private room behind.

"Well, you just have to do that from the start....... Vissen! Guess there's something else I can do for you?

"Oh, of course! Stay tuned, Prince Linz"

After abominably dropping off Teldorf, Linz confirms to Vissen.

If they had replied that it was not here, they would have disposed of it as used.

It would be natural to dispose of him for alchemy experiments and to leave no evidence because he is giving away funds and experimental bodies by illegal means.

Linz nods satisfied with Vissen's response.

"It's Nina. Being the next king is worthy of a strong me, not a sweet one like you. Let's get you out of the table, okay?

Linz thought of Nina, who was far away, and laughed niggly.
