‘Is that boy the prince?’
‘I suppose so.’
‘But why isn’t there a single guard around?’
Something felt off. If he were a prince, there should definitely be guards protecting him. Yet strangely, they were nowhere to be seen.
‘Could he not be the prince?’
Could he possibly not be the prince?
Right then.
Thud!
“…?”
The assassin, who had been wondering if it was a trap, looked down at his chest. Something sharp was protruding from there. The assassin looked at his fellow assassins. They too had been struck in their vital points by something sharp.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
One after another, the assassins from the Kingdom of Garin who had come to target the prince began to fall.
Swish
After all the assassins had fallen, the prince who had been sleeping in bed. Rapide opened his eyes and rose from his place.
“…”
Rapide said nothing. He merely stared at the assassins’ corpses with an indifferent gaze.
“Hedol.”
Rapide, who had been staring at the assassins’ bodies, spoke.
Swoosh
And at Rapid’s words, someone appeared.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
It was Hedol, the most skilled stealth member of the Black Claw Knights.
“Who are these guys?”
Rapid asked Hedol. Hedol glanced at the assassins’ corpses in response to Rapid’s question. Then, looking back at Rapid, he said.
“They appear to be the ones who infiltrated the capital not long ago. Shall I bring them in?”
“Mm.”
“I’ll be off.”
