Chapter 559 – Assassination Family Raven 6 (6)

When I conveyed my intention to meet with the emperor, he told me a specific time and place to meet in a city below the capital a few days later.

We thought it would be best to hide as much as possible the fact that we met right before the Continental Congress, so this meeting became Princess Rosette’s meeting with the emperor.

Of course, since Princess Rosette’s last known destination is the Raven family, the two can be placed on the same line, but there may be more interpretations than just me and the emperor meeting.

*

Since the emperor had decided on a place and time to meet, we prepared ourselves neatly and set off.

There are some things that are necessary to take care of a small baby who cannot stand up, such as lupus, but these can be minimized through purification.

Just in case, Princess Rosette, who had covered herself as much as possible to avoid people’s eyes, grabbed my arm holding Lupus, and I wrapped a circle around me, erasing the presence of the three of us.

“It’s astounding that no one cares about us.”

We had just passed through the warp gate, and seeing so many people going their own way, Princess Rosette said quietly.

“Other people may bump into it, so you just have to be careful.”

“I understand. Just stay close to Xian, right?”

Princess Rosette answered with a bright smile, and I responded with a nod of her head.

Since it was a city below the capital, there were a lot of people passing by, but I walked towards my destination while avoiding all the trouble.

When I saw Lupus cooing as he took in new things after leaving the Raven family for the first time, I thought it was a good idea to bring him out.

Princess Rosette looked a little nervous as she was worried that the sound might leak out and reveal her presence, but it was okay because the effect of hiding her presence also dispersed the sound.

The place where the emperor asked to meet was a fairly large luxury hotel.

It would seem that such a luxury hotel would be easy to identify since there are only a few people using it, but if we use the emperor’s power, we could easily cross off the list.

Princess Rosette took a quick look around the hotel lobby, then she let go of my arm and quietly sat down and walked to the side of the two men who seemed to be waiting for someone.

Judging by his vague energy, he seemed to be a knight who could handle a sword a little.

“Have you been waiting long?”

Even though Princess Rosette only heard her voice, the eyes of the two knights changed dramatically.

“Standing indoors is not work.”

“We will take care of you.”

The two knights stood up from their seats and looked around Princess Rosette, but did not make eye contact with me.

I felt that my skills had improved tremendously when I saw that I was now able to avoid the eyes of knights indoors in broad daylight, with the skill of completely erasing one’s appearance and presence by covering one’s shadow.

The place where Princess Rosette arrived in the magic stone elevator, guided by two knights, was a huge room on the 5th floor.

In front of the room, there were knights in civilian clothes with swords on their waists, and these knights were stronger than the knights who came out to meet them.

When Princess Rosette took off her robe and revealed her real face, her knights placed their right hands on her chest and bowed her head.

“Meeting with Princess Rosette Yurisian.”

“Yes. Everyone, it’s been a while since I saw you.”

Princess Rosette greeted the knights with her dignified voice and slowly walked among them.

The knight in front of the door opened the door without making a sound, and inside was standing the emperor with blonde hair like Princess Rosette.

I thought she would have a slim figure similar to Princess Rosette, but she was quite large, showing signs of training, and not lacking in size compared to her knights.

‘It’s difficult to completely hide your identity with a flimsy disguise.’

I thought it would be easier to simply disguise myself and pretend not to see me because I was going secretly.

“Abama.”

“It’s been a while, Rosette. And Cyan Raven, you can show up. All the knights on this floor know you’re coming.”

After hearing the emperor’s words, I absorbed the shadow and appeared.

“Huh?”

When I appeared right next to Princess Rosette, the emperor’s expression changed strangely.

“Abba.”

Even the knights who were looking ahead couldn’t bear it anymore and turned their heads when they heard Lupus’ voice.

“Cian Raven… That baby…”

“I am Lupus Raven, heir to the Raven family.”

Princess Rosette was smiling with maternal love as she looked at Lupus waving her arms in the air, and the emperor was very embarrassed when he saw that, unlike when he proudly called me out.

“Why don’t we sit down and talk first? Your Majesty, Emperor Beowolf Urysian.”

The emperor had no choice but to give the initiative to us who brought his grandson.

*

The emperor, who had been staring at Lupus in Princess Rosette’s arms for a long time, shifted his gaze to me and said.

“I asked to meet to hear about the affairs of the Alvirs Kingdom and how the Raven family will move in the future.”

It seems that the emperor decided to completely stop thinking about his grandchild, whom he was seeing for the first time, and focus on me.

“As written in the letter sent from the Raven family to the kingdom and the empire, the Kingdom of Alvirs was punished in advance because it attempted to summon a demon. Until now, the Raven family has mainly taken individual action, but now that I have become the head of the family, I am taking group action to try to change the family. I tried it, but a lot of people died at once, so nothing much changed.”

“Nothing much has changed… Until now, the Raven family had a strong feeling of relaying work to the family’s assassin. The assassin was based on individual action. Therefore, the empire did not impose major sanctions, and the kingdom was able to protect the Raven family’s blade. “I didn’t think it was a risk because it didn’t leave the empire.”

As the Emperor said, the Raven family existed like that for a long time.

From the outside, it seemed like the Empire had a tight grip on the Raven family, and they probably thought they could control it well.

“The Raven family was like that before.”

“Group action in the Kingdom of Albirus, which has escaped the empire. Are you acknowledging that you have lifted the shackles of the Raven family in one fell swoop?”

“The opportunity for change was given by the imperial family. The previous head of the family stopped cooperating with the imperial family, so wouldn’t it be possible for me, as the new head of the family, to expand my scope of activities?”

The reason why the relationship between the imperial family and the Raven family began to change this way was because the two princes who died at the hands of Terrance Raven planned to take over the Raven family by using the Crow family.

If the prince had left the Raven family alone without disturbing them, he would have brought the next royal family to the family to question the validity of the assassination, and we would have continued the assassination accordingly.

“Will the Raven family change like that in the future? Are they aiming to become a large group of mercenaries rather than a family of assassins?”

“I have no intention of making any major changes to the Raven family. Unless it is something like the Kingdom of Alvirus that requires immediate extermination, I plan to assassinate the target in exchange for the client’s life, just like before.”

I don’t know if killing someone could be called trivial, but because what happened in Albirs was so big, it felt relatively trivial.

If you think about it, the difference between the head of the kingdom’s leaders being blown off in an instant and a person worthy of death being killed by an assassin’s sword was very large.

“So, if there is a justification, is it safe to say that the entire Raven family can move again?”

“As long as the country’s leadership does not allow assassins to gather sacrifices to summon demons, the only way is to expand our reach outside the empire. We need to plant some Crow family intelligence agents in other kingdoms as well. I thought I would do it.”

After seeing the incident in the Kingdom of Albirus, I thought that we should also collect information about kingdoms other than the empire.

If Kairendal Raven had not relayed advanced information, he could have faced the demon king who suddenly appeared while working to purify the empire.

“The Raven family’s assassin is not a hero. In this case, it was right to report this to the Celestial God and the Goddess Cult and get them to take action. It seemed like he had ties to the Goddess Cult, but I think he was careless.”

The warrior of the Goddess Church is Cian Raven, the head of the Raven family.

If this fact is known, it can be seen that the warrior of the Goddess Church used his background to immediately organize the people involved in summoning demons.

However, since I am hiding the fact that I am a warrior, it seems that I only did this because I wanted to show that the Raven family really has the power to overthrow a nation.

‘What I did before was defeating an angel in the capital of the Holy Kingdom, Cathedral, so it’s harder to think that I and the Goddess Church are in a cooperative relationship.’

I heard that there are quite a few people who suspect that the seal of the Goddess Church obtained from Gwen Shrine Master is fake.

“If we had moved them, we wouldn’t have been able to organize them as cleanly as the Raven family. The hero candidates would have been able to cut down some of the nobles who participated. Then, the remaining members would have sacrificed them again and continued the demon summoning ritual.”

The emperor looked at me and then looked at Lupus, who was being held by Princess Rosette, perhaps for peace of mind.

Seeing the baby holding Princess Rosette’s finger and smiling at her brought peace to her heart.

After some time had passed with only Lupus’ cooing and Princess Rosette’s accepting voice, the emperor looked at me to start talking again.

“The kingdoms will ask us to put pressure on House Raven. Of course, we do not have to listen to the kingdom’s voice as we have overwhelming power, but we may have to meet some demands. If House Raven attacked the kingdom, “I expect you will ask for permission to use the Empire’s warp gate for self-defense.”

“Are you saying that this action has made it difficult for the Empire to embrace the Raven family?”

“The gap between the two groups, the empire that established peace on the continent and the Raven family, which will bring conflict to the continent, will demand conditions that will benefit them, saying that the gap has widened significantly. So there are two options. The Raven family is the empire. Either inform the other kingdoms that you have completely left the hands of the Empire, or announce your union with Princess Rosette and announce that the Raven family has returned to the arms of the empire.”

When I looked at Princess Rosette, she responded by slightly shaking her head to the left and right.

“Because of this, I have to fight against the continent, so I feel like I have become a demon lord.”

“Did you choose that one?”

The emperor, who sensed that this would be the last time he would see his daughter and grandson, let out a slightly regretful voice.
