The World of Masks

Cover, cover, cover.

A light footnote echoes through the colorful hallway. Ornaments that seemed to be worth the price, such as impressive paintings made of luxurious wood, pottery with serene shapes and patterns, and whole body armor that looked like a blade as if it was a guard guarding the corridor. However, if the public could see the treasures, they would not be able to walk properly, and the young man walking down the hallway only rushed to his destination without any interest in words.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

I hear a heavy bass. Although it was a heavy solemn voice, the young man sighed once and then opened the visit due to the tiredness that was inevitably mixed.

In front of you is an old man who stacks documents like mountains and takes care of business. The Duke, the youngest grandfather, was still working his way through the country today. No, as long as the war with the Grand Duke is imminent, the workload is more severe. The young man sighed once again, with twice as much paperwork as he had seen before.

"What happened?"

The duc, who led the old man and worked hard to do the country's work, looked at his grandson, the young man. However, his eyes did not multiply that much. I almost came to give you a new job anyway.

The young man who felt the corners of his grandfather's eyes sighed a third time. But I had to report it.

"Here's the news from the Grand Duck Ganja."

The Duke reached out to the paperwork the young man put out. This was necessary to confirm the King's assassination. For a moment, the duc, who rolled his eyes to check the documents, quietly put down the documents.

"So their plan is to blow up a few houses on the outskirts of the capital, turn our eyes away and assassinate those hidden in a noble mansion near the palace?" "

"Yes."

"That's awkward."

The duc mutters as if it were a nonsense. Is that the only absurd plot to truly assassinate you? The Royal Guard is trained for all kinds of assassinations. I can't be distracted by the blink of an eye. But the young man thought differently.

"We can't do that. We haven't figured out all the firearms. Obviously, it's a pretty clumsy plan, but if you add those weapons to your assassination plan, the consequences could be different."

"Hmm, that, too."

On paper, it was alleged that the cannons fired at the mansion were a direct tool in the attack.

"Above all, the exact nature of the assassination plot has not been revealed. What we're doing is just guessing, and the real plan is only in the head of the traveler, the assassination planner. The Air Force doesn't seem to know the exact information."

"Trouble."

The duc presses his finger against his head.

"May I take you somewhere else?"

The duc shakes his head firmly at the young man's offer.

"No, the king cannot leave the palace unless it is a real emergency. Above all, there was always an assassination threat. It's only worse now because of the specificity of the situation. Most of all, there's a civil war coming. Where are they taking you?"

"That, too."

The young man accepted it easily.

"Still, I can't keep my hands off it. Did you recognize any of the houses that the traveler bought?"

"Yes. Ganza didn't know about it, so he searched the capital like this. The contractor's identity was unclear among the houses where the transaction was made recently."

"Fine. I'd like to thin out the traveler who's planning an assassination, but it's hard to think that the person who's trying to assassinate you is wearing the mask anyway." He's probably disguising himself as someone else. Do you know the date of the assassination? "

"They say it's not fixed yet, but you'll find out soon enough."

"Then we move on the day of the assassination. If they break into the houses they've set up for the day of the plan, they can stop the plan. If we're lucky, we can ambush the Travelers, and even if we don't, we can stop this assassination. Secure the date of the assassination with Gandhi first and tell him to move."

"If so, there's a good chance that Ganja will be found, but are you okay?"

He's one of the few guards the Grand Duke doesn't know about, really put him through a lot of trouble. If you move a little too much, you are likely to get caught by the air.

"I can't help it. Nothing is more important than your safety now. If you think that Gandhi is in danger, tell him to pull out. You'll be safe until the assassination fails, so you'll have plenty of time to resign."

"Very well. I will order you to stand down around the time your assassination attempt fails." "

If the assassination attempt fails, you will notice that information has been leaked from within, and a thorough internal search will take place. This will give a better chance of noticing the identity of the Gandhi who showed excessive movement. It would be reasonable to withdraw before that. The young man steps out of the duc's room, chewing on the duc's orders.

Earl Krafnaf stands on a cliff. The views and fresh air were a really good place to do something like a picnic. But the erl was not interested in the scenery. No, I didn't care about that.

"What do you think? Good view, right? I had some kids looking for him."

You hear a voice shuddering next to you. The Earl glances around. I see the only traveler with a soft smile on his lips who looks like he's enjoying the scenery. An Earl writhing his eyes as if he didn't like it, replied with a cold voice.

"Is this the place where you can do the 'spectacle'?"

"Yes, it's the capital at a glance. You can see the royal palace there."

The erl looked down bitterly at the palace. It was a palace so far away that it looked like a model, but that alone was enough to convey its splendor and majesty. The palace that Orloth reigned in as a symbol of the tradition, history, honor and status of this kingdom, may not be seen again after this time. He looked at the palace as if he had become the last spokesman for the palace, even though the Earl was engraved in his heart.

The two stood there silently for a moment. There are some knights and Callie following the Earl's Escort around, but they don't make a sound. A little time passed in silence.

Ding, ding, ding.

You hear a foggy bell in the capital. The Earl's eyes are sharpened. It sounded like it was trying to teach people about their time, but it was a completely different sound to the Earl. It was a sign of the beginning of the plan. The erl looks nervous and looks down at the capital. Something's about to happen. I empowered my eyes in case I missed anything small. But nothing happened. The capital was still dynamic, and chaos was nowhere to be found.

"Hey. Nothing's happening, right?"

The erl looked at Jack as if to see what had happened. Jack pulls the telescope out of his bracelet and looks down at the capital. The traveler in front of him picks out a strange object and looks toward the capital, and the Earl decides to wait a moment. After a while, Jack sighs lightly and opens his eyes at the telescope.

"It looks like information's leaking."

"What!"

The Earl was startled. Jack continues to say as if he is sorry.

"I put gunpowder in the houses I bought. I was going to explode in time. People in armor come in and out of those places."

Jack looks back at the telescope. You see the humans pulling out a barrel full of gunpowder that you left behind. Seeing the water in the barrel, it seemed to be dripping with water. Some were pushing people around. It appears to be a movement in preparation for the explosion. The same thing was happening in the palace that Jinsuk had bought, as well as in the noble mansion provided by the Grand Duke. Of course, some soldiers searched the houses that Jack had bought completely. Instead, in the middle of the night, I saw some furniture rolling around outside the house.

Jack said, "Boom."

As Jack lowers the telescope, the Earl's face turns red in fury to make sure the mission fails.

"What are you going to do now!"

The Earl shouts in a bewildered voice.

"Dictionary! How the hell did you do that?"

Jack makes an impression on the Earl's castle.

"Do you blame me?"

"Then, no!"

When the atmosphere is uncertain, the knights following the Earl's Escort place their hands on the hilt of the sword. Callie squeezes her cane and closest to Jack.

"Of course not. When they hit everything else second, and they hit it right before the execution of the plan, they knew all the planning times, how could they have known all the planning times? I'm not the master of the plan, and you're the only one I've taught the date and time of the plan. Of course the Earl informed the Grand Duke. Then, of course, the rumors have spread to the Grand Duke, and it's even more credible that his goons have extracted the information."

"The assassination plan is something we are secretly pursuing! There's no information on Sally!"

"At least you know the guardians you brought with you."

Immediately, the escorts burst into life. Jack's words were the sound of doubting themselves. It was unpleasant for the escorts.

But Jack shakes his hand as if it were a nuisance.

"Ah, there you go. What should I do now? Let's get back to work."

"Work?"

In Jack's words, the Earl bursts into a mysterious twist. It was then.

Bang, bang!

You hear a massive explosion in the capital. The Earl turns his head in haste. On one side of the capital, flames were blazing with cloudy smoke. The noise was so big, it was like thunder. The Earl stares blankly at the capital and hears Jack's words.

"Yes, work. The king's plan must go forward."

The Earl looks at Jack with stupid eyes.

"Replacement · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·."

Like a successful kid, Jack snaps his index finger and jerks off.

"Well, I was already thinking, you know, maybe it leaked. The house you bought and the mansion you got, that's why you took it. Enemies must be mistaken."

"So · · · · · · · · · · ·."

The Earl's eyes widen in tears.

"Yes, if you want to deceive your enemies, deceive your allies first. It's a proverb from our world. Are those houses and mansions just bait?"

"Bait?"

"Yes, the ones they planted for camouflage just in case they realized my real plan. Focus their gaze, and say," We stopped the plan! 'It's bait that I've prepared to cheer for. It's also for taking bait and hitting your back when you like it. "

Boom, boom, boom!

There's a series of explosions in the capital. Looking at the red flames blooming from afar, Jack smiles brightly.

"The plan begins now, Earl."
