"Is that the prince? ’

‘Maybe.’

‘Then why aren't there any of them guarding it? ’

Something's wrong. The prince must have people guarding him. But strangely, I didn't see them.

You're not a prince? ’

Maybe he's not the prince?

It was just then.

Puck!

“...? ”

The assassin looks down at his chest, thinking it might be a trap. There was something sharp sticking out. The assassin sees his fellow assassins. Coworker assassins are also critically attacked by something sharp.

Fluffy, fluffy.

The assassins in the Kingdom of Garrin, who soon came after the prince, began to fall in turn.

Swook

The prince who slept in his bed after all the assassins had fallen. Raffid wakes up from his seat with his eyes open.

“... ”

Rapid doesn't say anything. You just stare at the bodies of the assassins with your careless eyes.

“Hedol.”

Laffid looks at the bodies of the assassins and says,

Squeak

And then someone appeared in Rapid's words.

“Yes, Prince. ”

He was Hedol, the most hidden member of the Black Nail Knights.

“Who are these guys? ”

Rapid asks Hedol. Hedol examines the bodies of the assassins for questioning by Rapid. Then he looked back at Raffid and said,

“Looks like they've just infiltrated the capital. Do you want to know?”

“Huh."

“I'll be back.”

Squeak

Hedol disappears, and Rapids thinks back to bed.

When do we move? ’

Rapid didn't kill all the assassins who broke into the room. The most hidden and the assassin waiting behind you is kept alive.

It was to step behind. Everything Laffid was lying in bed to create a situation for the assassin to move on.

It's moving!

And the assassin began to make his move, as Laffid had predicted. Rapid gets back out of bed, writes something on the paper next to him, and steps on the assassin's back.

Squeak

That way, Rapid steps behind the assassin, and shortly after, Hedol returns. Hedol looks a little embarrassed without a rapid on the bed.

Where are you going?

Hedol looks around embarrassed.

‘If you'd gone somewhere, you'd have left something behind. ’

It was Hedol's idea of Rapid that he was young but not young. If Laffid had disappeared, he would have left a trail somewhere.

‘...! ’

Soon Hedol was able to find a piece of paper on the desk next to Rapid's bed. Hedol approaches the desk and checks the paper.

- I'll be back.

“... ”

Hedol was unable to say anything after checking what was written on the paper.

“Ha…”

Hedol sighs deeply.

“Did you follow the man you let live? ”

The assassin Rapid saved. Hedol also knew the assassin existed. He pretended not to know because Hedol himself knew that Laffid had never known and that he had kept him alive on purpose.

“How do I report this?”

And Hedol's thoughts were right. It was not something I liked because I was right. Hedol's mission is not to protect Laffid. It was to locate Rapids. Hedol's position to report the current situation is extremely embarrassing.

“Yes."

After finishing his thought, Hedol picks up the paper left by Laffid. Then I went to the room of Master John of the Black Claw Knights, who had just gone to report.

Knock-knock.

After knocking, Hedol immediately opens the door and enters.

“Why again? ”

As soon as he entered the room, John asked.

“That's when the prince disappeared. ”

“... what? ”

John frowns and hisses in Hedol's report.

“You left this. ”

In John's greeting, Hedol gives out a piece of paper left by Rapid with a cautious voice. John gets the paper that Hedol gave him and checks what's written on it.

“... ”

After confirming the contents, John said nothing. However, I could see what John's heart was like in a firm expression.

“... where did you go to play? ”

John drops the paper. Then he looks up at Hedol and says,

“Looks like you followed the assassin. ”

I wasn't sure. However, it was unlikely that Raffid would be the assassin's destination.

“so that no information about the prince can be found in neighboring countries. ”

John said to Hedol,

“Follow me and clean up after the prince. ”

“Yes.”

“Use the nearby branch if you're struggling alone. ”

“Don't worry! I'll clean it up. ”

* * * *

“This time, kill more and die. ”

“Hey, it's better to kill a knight than to kill more. ”

“It's that easy! You don't get to die if you don't! ”

Twice a day, a region where there is a battle between Valenn and the Holy Empire. Thousands of users line up in front of Valenn's wooden castle in the first region.

‘That's a lot. ’

After reading it, there was also a line.

‘I can't give up the quest. ’

The reason I was standing in line was to get the quest.

‘I would have just left from the beginning. ’

If I had known it would take so long, I would not have stood in line. But I had already waited a long time to get to the middle of the line, and even though I didn't want to wait for that time, I was going to get a war quest.

“Next!”

The line was constantly shrinking and soon it was his turn. After a while, he approached a young paladin who was tired.

“Name.”

The paladin asked as soon as the manifesto approached.

Why half? ’

I'm not old. And to the man who came to help in the war? Myeonghu also replied half-words like a paladin.

“Explanation.”

Halt!

And at that moment, the paladin stops the pen.

“Excuse me?”

The paladin frowns and looks at the paper, holding his pen still. He looks up and says hello.

“Explanation.”

In the preaching of such a paladin, clarification was answered again.

“... ”

Even after saying it again and again, the paladin did not say anything. At that moment, I heard the voices of the users from behind.

“Wow, he's amazing. ”

“Yeah, that paladin's a nasty dog. ”

“Phew, I just need a quest. ”

“You must be the first one to receive a quest. ”

“Hah, that's going to take a while. Again. ”

“But I think he's a kid, too, and in the beginning he's a rebel. I understand that user. ”

“Hey, be quiet. I can hear you.”

I could understand what the users were saying.

‘Bastard.'

What a paladin looks like.

“That's a short speech. ”

And the paladin said when he found out what the paladin looked like.

“... ”

Myeonghu didn't say anything to the paladin.

‘I never thought I'd be wearing this so early. ’

Something I didn't think the day would come. It's time to take it out. Myeonghu opened his inventory and took out the token he received from Lepurem.

Swook

Then he frowns and gives it to the paladin looking at him.

“...? ”

The paladin, who was still staring at him, still frowned and saw the token that he gave, and at that moment the frowned paladin's glance slowly began to unravel.

“... ”

The paladin flattened his eyes and said nothing. I just stared at the token with a blank look.

“Paladin?”

Myeonghu called the paladin.

“... Yes, yes. ”

The paladin, who was staring at the blank token, was furious with the call of the manifest.

“What did you just say? ”

“Well, that's...”

The effects of the token were clear. Until just now, the paladin, who spoke with a fair expression, did not connect the words properly.

“What? What's wrong with him all of a sudden? ”

“Why are you embarrassed? ”

“What do you think you're showing me? ”

“Is this item special? ”

“Hey, check it out. ”

“You do it. ”

Users who were chatting behind the paladin's reaction changed the subject and started chatting. Myeonghu listened to the murmurs of the users and put the token back in the inventory.

“Explanation.”

And I told the paladin who was embarrassed.

“Yep!"

The paladin quickly moves the pen, answering the note. Soon, I reached out to him with a scroll.

“Here you go. ”

‘Maybe the quest isn't coming right up. ’

I thought the quest would come as soon as the conversation was over. But that wasn't it. After receiving the scroll from the paladin, he stepped away and checked the information on the scroll.

‘Scroll was a quest. ’

It was the same way when he was a nobleman of the Helioca Empire. Brightness immediately tore the scroll to create a quest.

* * * *

Focus, the most desperate assassin to infiltrate the source of the power kingdom's capital in order to kidnap the assassin and prince of the Garlin Kingdom, is moving at tremendous speed.

What is it?

What the hell was that I just saw?

‘Those thorns. ’

Thorns that turned all their fellow assassins into corpses. Foucas was so curious about the identity of the thorn.

‘It was a crazy plan. ’

Focus, who was thinking about thorns, thought about the operation.

‘No matter how much they say we're at war. ’

Most of the forces in the Kingdom of Power went to the Kingdom of Alion, where the capital was currently empty.

There's no way he's guarding the prince! ’

The capital was the capital, the royal palace was the palace, and the prince was the prince. There couldn't have been more people guarding it.

‘I should have been out by then. ’

When 30 people died sneaking into the capital. It should have stopped then. A mere third of them have been infiltrated, but they have to stop in common sense.

Focus, of course, thought the return order would come. However, unlike Focus, the order arrived at the beginning of the operation. The operation, of course, failed. It failed miserably and completely.

‘Be back soon. ’

We have to go back. Foucah's head was full of thoughts that he had to report at least once.

* * * *

‘Is that the fastest? ’

Laffid thinks he's stepping on the back of a surviving assassin.

‘I wish I could have gone faster. ’

Laffid's expression was full of boredom. But being bored with Rapid doesn't make the assassin go any faster. Laffid knew it too. I was just a little disappointed.

‘But if we go this way. ’

After becoming a prince, Rapid studied a lot. Among them, the geography of the continent and surrounding countries.

"Isn't the Kingdom of Garin coming out?" ’

As you have studied, the frontier of the hidden kingdom will soon emerge.

"The Kingdom of Behind"? ’

Could it be that the hidden kingdom is behind this?

‘No, we could go back. ’

I'm not sure. Today, the assassin has left countless traces, unlike the assassin.

‘Where.’

Rapid continues to step on the back of the assassin, wondering where he might be.

It's the last day of November 2015.

And now, just one day later, December of 2015.

I can't believe 2015 is over already.

We hope you have a great Monday.

The only skill Rapid inherits is the source of power!
