Chapter 49 – Assassination Family Raven (7)

A system created through collaboration between the mad Raven matriarch and the mad emperor, it allows the royal family to judge the validity of assassination.

Because of that, it has been two years since Princess Rosette came to the Raven family.

I heard that in the case of Princess Rosette’s father and current emperor, he tried hard to classify at first but then gave up.

There are many cases where people want to sacrifice their lives and kill others for trivial reasons than you might think.

In particular, seeing those who had no status and those who did not have anything behave like that, he became emperor and started a war without hesitation, and the empire became the strongest on the continent.

Turn the object of your anger outward and use your wasted life worthily.

That desire to conquer also calmed down a bit as they got older, and except for the holy countries that believed in God, there were no countries on equal footing.

That Holy Kingdom also expressed regret over this high-ranking priest assassination incident.

The strongest empire on the continent had no rivals on the outside, so the inside began to fester little by little.

From minor corruption to the unexpected boasting of power by those in power.

The number of people who are swayed by the pride in their power and who sacrifice their lives to kill those in power has gradually increased, and Princess Rosette, as a member of the royal family, is in charge of approving or rejecting this.

In the Raven family, in order to transfer responsibility to the imperial family, the imperial family cooperates to cut out the rotten parts of the empire.

As soon as I left Gajujeon, I went back in with Princess Rosette.

The head of the house welcomed Princess Rosette in a slightly lighter mood than when Cairendal Raven and I came in.

“Princess Rosette.”

In a way, the head of the family greeted the princess with a slightly, very slightly bright expression, as she was the one giving permission for the assassination.

“Matriarch Terrance Raven.”

First, they are on equal footing, but if she extends her hand at any time, it will go out. The princess, whose life is like a candle, answered while slightly lowering her head.

“The target of this assassination is located in Valtir…”

Slurring

When Princess Rosette tried to talk in detail, the head of the family created a shadow and tied Princess Rosette up.

The head of the family spoke when the shadow that began to cover Princess Rosette’s entire body, starting from her toes, engulfed everything except for Princess Rosette’s eyes and nose.

“How many people should I kill and who should I send?”

Other than that, it means that you are not interested, and it is bothersome to listen to explanations.

I think that the current emperor also took the weight of her life lightly because of the actions of the head of the family. Two years passed, but she did not give up even though she was surrounded by shadows like this and faced the risk of death every time.

When the shadow came down slightly and freed her mouth, Princess Rosette spoke briefly.

“One, Cyan Raven.”

It was only then that the head of the family looked at me after hearing my name.

From the moment he entered the Gajujeon, it seemed that all he could see in the eyes of the Gaju was a princess who would bring a target for assassination.

“I’m lucky that I’m on a mission as soon as I get back. What should I do?”

“Not yet.”

The head of the family made the shadow that was entrapping Princess Rosette’s body disappear and then waved her hand outward.

That’s it, the royal family has selected the target to assassinate, and if the head of the family gives permission, the assassin must move.

It is a structure that cannot be refuted even if it is called the dog of the empire.

As soon as I came out of the Household Hall, Princess Rosette grabbed my sleeve.

“Will you listen to Xian?”

“Because you can assassinate if you know the target.”

As the assimilation rate increased slightly, Xian’s thoughts about Princess Rosette came to mind.

She did just that well, considering she was the actual head of the Crow family, an intelligence organization.

However, when you think about the assassins of the matriarch or the Raven family that you have to meet every time, the difference is like heaven and earth.

As a princess, it was natural for someone to treat her well, but in this crazy family, Princess Rosette was just someone who gave her work.

I felt like I had some good feelings towards Cian Raven, who at least pretended to listen to my low self-esteem.

‘I have a feeling that Cian Raven also joined in order to get more work.’

Compared to other assassins, they cannot assimilate into the shadows, so they suffer losses when retreating, so in order to kill them better and escape, they listened to Princess Rosette for information about the target, but it seems to have been a great comfort.

I followed Princess Rosette and arrived at her office.

It was the only room in the overall dark house with a lot of bright colors.

“I’m sorry you must be tired after returning today. Do you have enough stamina to go on the mission?”

“I think I’ll be okay if I just take one more day off.”

“That’s good. Then sit back and relax.”

As I sat down on the comfortable sofa, Princess Rosette rang the bell in her room.

The maid came in through the door, served refreshments and tea, and then left the room.

She may have been from a family of assassins, but she was a maid who made really neat moves without a sound.

As soon as she drank the warm tea, the poison remaining in her body seemed to completely disappear.

Is this tea effective in detoxifying?

It would be best if I don’t have to use it like last time, but I need to replenish the poison before going on a mission.

“The person who received the request this time is Low Travis, the youngest son of Travis Dangan, who is settled in Balthyr. Travis Danang has accumulated quite a lot of wealth, and except for the youngest son Low Travis, his children have a good reputation.”

“I don’t know if the merchant will welcome this request.”

“Even if it tarnishes the name of the superior, would anyone welcome the death of their son?”

However, the person who accepted was Princess Rosette.

As we watched in silence with that meaning in mind, Princess Rosette let out her sigh.

“Ha. I know. I accepted, and he will be killed by you.”

“You can keep talking.”

“He was pushed out by his outstanding brothers and was like an outcast. He used the money he had to go to bars and brothels, used violence against women and paid for medical treatment, and ended up killing one person. It seems he was asked to kill Law Travis. “The person is the dead male employee’s younger sister.”

Cian Raven now has to take his sister’s life as payment for her quest and go kill Low Travis.

The Crow family’s investigation must have been perfect, and Princess Rosette made her decision based on what she reported.

However, I wanted to make a slightly different choice for Cyan Raven with the addition of Yusian.

“I want to see her and her sister.”

“Is she now saying that she will pay for her life?”

“No, I just want to hear the story.”

“Huh…? It’s in the Crow family, so you’ll be able to see it if you try.”

I finished my tea and got up.

Princess Rosette, who had been looking at me like I was a strange person, quickly got up and said.

“Are you really planning to listen to the client’s story? This could be said to undermine the trustworthiness of the Crow family.”

“Should I care about that?”

When Princess Rosette came out of her office, the maid outside her bowed her head.

I headed straight to my room.

As Cian Raven had a low desire for possessions, she had almost no personal belongings.

After looking around her room for a moment, she opened the dark brown wardrobe and saw that the black clothes she usually wore were listed.

She received money from Terry Crow and put on the black coat usually worn by the Raven family assassin over the clothes she bought in the village.

In some ways, it seems like it’s just a nice black coat, but it’s a coat full of all kinds of magical effects, such as maintaining body temperature and resisting physical attacks.

The coat I was originally wearing became tattered while escaping from the Holy Kingdom, so I gave it up while escaping.

I felt comfortable both physically and mentally just by wearing that black coat.

‘Is it actually easier, not just a feeling?’

If you use Shadow Armor, you can always increase your defense by placing shadows all over your body, and I felt like this clothing was helpful when using that skill.

Since people like the head of the family or the elders can do Shadow Craft, they will naturally be able to use Shadow Armor, so I think that’s why they were given it.

I also wondered if I should get a coat like this the next time I buy armor.

‘I’m sure I’m not doing something for nothing.’

Xian Raven and Yu Xian were very different.

In the case of Lee Sian, there wasn’t much difference from Lee Sian in that he just did what he wanted, but I got the feeling that Sian Raven was calm and crazy.

I think the fitness calculation is wrong.

I headed towards the Crow family’s mansion with light steps.

I bowed slightly to the servants who bowed their heads when they saw me, then arrived at the place where the client was staying.

The servant who was watching the clients in front asked me.

“Sian. Have you come to take my life?”

“I plan to see your face.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The servant opened the door and I entered the room.

It felt brighter than the Raven family’s mansion, which was predominantly black, but it was also dark here.

The woman I heard from Princess Rosette was sitting blankly on the bed. When she saw me coming in, she hurriedly got up.

“Has my request been accepted? Are you going to avenge her brother?”

The client slowly approached her with her trembling hands on her chest.
Her physical condition was not normal.

I think I know why the guy named Oppa had a fight with Law Travis.

A face covered in purple bruises, as if it had been hit with a fist, and legs that felt limping after walking for just a short time.

I felt like I could see what was inside the clothes covering my body without even looking.

After killing this woman, I had a strong urge to kill Low Travis.

Since there was solid evidence here, I felt strongly that I wanted to assassinate him after receiving payment for his life.

“Before I accept, I ask one question. Do you have any intention of living?”

“Yes. My brother took us in after our parents abandoned us. If I can kill the guy who killed my brother, my life won’t be a waste.”

A voice with strong determination and hands that have stopped shaking.

“Let’s take the price of his life with the news that he is dead.”

As I turned my back and left the room, I heard a blank voice coming from behind.

“Huh…? Yes.”

When I came out, the servant who locked the door said something quietly.

“Sir Xian. It is against the family’s rules. You must take the price of your life before starting the request.”

“I take care of it.”

So I left the Crow family and returned to my room.

‘I’m going to turn. Why does my composure continue to kick in after hearing the object of the mission?’

Looking at the quest, I thought that if I acted like Cyan Raven, I could grow my Shadow Mastery without any problems.

But what after seeing the head of the family with Princess Rosette? No, ever since I heard from Princess Rosette about the object of her request, I have felt something strange.

I came to see the client because I thought something was wrong, but I don’t know why he was like this.

There is something about this mission target.
