Episode 18: The true nature of the voice
#
smart
Someone knocked on the door of the annex.
Ian lowered the bed linen that was being lifted.
‘Who is it?’
But it was incomprehensible.
Clearly, no one had come to this place in the future he had been through. At least before nightfall.
Then, an unexpected person opened the door and entered.
“I’m here to help.”
“!”
He was just a servant.
It was also obviously an aide who was next to the chief of staff in the audience.
So Ian frowned.
‘weird? If it’s the nature of the duke and the chief of staff, then there’s no way I can let the servant go.’
That was true.
The servant looked at the dusty Ian and smiled with a happy smile.
‘You’re grunting alone, too.’
In fact, the servant is none other than an assassin who came to kill Ion.
He was a ruthless assassin who had been hiding in the Duke of Garcia, a thorn in his early eyes.
Of course, hiding in Duke Garcia’s castle wasn’t easy, and it took a long time.
And this time, after hearing the news of Ian’s return, he was given a new mission.
[There are rumors that there is one more heir to the throne. Be sure to remove the bloodline that Duke Garcia brought in beforehand.]
It didn’t matter if he was really a prince or not.
It was important that this little boy was the one brought by the Duke of Garcia.
‘This kid is a kid who will surely bring trouble in the war of succession.’
The king and the royal family of the other factions did not yet know the existence of this little boy.
Those who continue to spy on Duke Garcia, who has lost his succession, will never know.
So, before the king who trusts Duke Garcia the most, before the king notices.
‘It must be removed.’
Of course, there was nothing difficult.
This is the Duke of Garcia with many excellent knights, but when he came here, he made sure of it.
[Look over there. Knights.]
[By the way, did you say you have training tonight? Is it already moving?]
[The knights are also something different.]
Soon the Duke had to go to the capital to prove Ian’s prince.
It will probably become a large-scale venue that attracts the attention of the people. Therefore, the operation meeting of the Knights Templar for that had begun.
In fact, all the knights in the castle were summoned under the name of the leader.
Nathan has to obey the commander’s orders. Galon, the leader, is also a mission that cannot be missed.
That means.
‘The prince is alone now.’
The current prince has no direct servants.
Even less so, because of the chief servant, the gasols don’t even come close.
The prince must have been clearing the ugly annex by himself.
‘That’s your chance.’
In fact, in the past, Ian had fallen asleep crying on a bed full of dust.
Then there is only one job for the assassin to do.
Pretending to help with cleaning, getting the prince’s favor, approaching him, collecting information, and killing him.
‘I was really lucky. If the chieftain had not taken a break from the duke, this opportunity would not have come.’
The assassin checked the poison bottle in his arms again.
This colorless and odorless poison, a favorite of the Princess 1 and her guardians, will provide him with the perfect alibi.
Now is the best time to assassinate.
No, I thought it was an opportunity.
“I don’t need it? The cleaning has already been completed.”
“?!”
The assassin who visited Ion was astonished.
He thought it was the prince’s bluff, but it was all over.
And unlike before, the assassin was bewildered by the appearance of the outbuildings.
“What, what? It is clear that no servants have visited this place……”
Ian answered calmly.
“It was over quickly because the drivers helped me.”
The assassination doubted my ears.
what? Who can help me now?
“Are you saying that the knight helped with the cleaning now? fightingOther than that, those proud knights that I can’t even see?”
“yes. I asked for it. As a child, he must have helped. So go ahead.”
When Ion tried to drive the servant out with a cold voice, the assassin was panicked and caught Ion.
“No, the knights ask me to do something like this.
Ion tried to drive the servant away without listening.
It was natural.
‘Are you the assassin who tried to kill me?”
Ian had recognized the assassin right away.
It was quite unique in appearance, and it was a face that was hard to forget because it was so traumatic.
And Ian knew the identity of the assassin.
‘This is the assassin of the Duke of Lavaltor.’
Together with the Garcia family, the second-generation duke and a prominent nobleman who glorified the empire.
He was at the same time he became the Duke of Garcia and it was not a place where he could support a handicap.
‘Actually, the duke was very angry.’
His life was saved, but the damage had been done to him for nothing, so for Ion, he wanted to kill Erra right away.
However.
‘I have no reason now.’
If so, the answer was to kick him out asap.
If you put it in the room, the environment of the room will be exposed, so you shouldn’t bring it in in the first place.
Then he’ll be killed by this guy at night.
‘If that’s what Karan found, he’ll definitely be able to use it.’
And when Ion kicked the servant out of the room, the assassin was shocked and his mouth trembled.
“Come on, wait a minute!”
The gnome didn’t even turn around in spite of the obvious shouting.
“Then I will deliver only the items that the High Duke has asked me to give, and then I will leave.”
“What? peacock?”
As Ion narrowed his brow, the assassin laughed.
He thought of going to work right now.
‘If you delay, the knights will come back.’
It was better to deal with it before that.
But that was then.
“Wow, that’s ridiculous. Are you doing it now and then ignoring it from start to finish? These are crazy in pairs!”
“?!”
The assassin was startled by the voice coming from behind him.
But without a moment to turn his head, a nimble hand flew in.
“If you are going to come, please come sooner! It’s only after the cleaning is finished that I’m going to die of heat! Are you ignoring the prince’s orders to leave now?!”
He was none other than Nathan.
Angry, he grabbed the assassin’s collar roughly.
“The cleaning is almost finished, so turn it off right now.”
But Nathan, who grabbed the servant by the collar, flinched.
It was because the servant, who had been grabbed by the collar, tried to get out by twisting Nathan’s hand while his eyes twinkled.
That’s why the assassin was desperate.
‘shit. Without realizing it, reflexively!’
Bewildered by the sudden appearance, his original ability was almost revealed.
Nathan also narrowed his brow.
“you······”
“Nathan, what’s going on over there?”
“!”
Hearing the voice again, the assassin sharpened his teeth inwardly.
It was because the voice he heard from inside the room was none other than Galon.
Thanks to that, the assassin was really embarrassed.
‘Damn it. Haven’t these children gone to the summons yet?’
But since he wasn’t an assassin trained in the duke’s for nothing, he acted insignificantly.
“Sorry… sorry! I’ll be right back, so let me go…”
As the assassin bowed his head politely, Nathan nodded his head and let go of the hand.
The assassin laughed.
“Thank you…
The assassin was unable to speak and was immediately beaten. Nathan’s fist blew his ball away.
Nathan smiled broadly and closed the door.
“Yeah, it’s okay now.”
bang!
The assassin who was suddenly kicked out was ridiculous.
‘That motherfucker is real!’
But it also opened for a while.
gully!
“!”
It was none other than Ian who opened the door and appeared.
The assassin smiled with joy.
“Prince… you opened it…”
“Please put this away on the way home.”
Ion smiled brightly as he showed the tray of food he had finished eating.
And the door closed again.
In the end, the assassin, who was kicked out with a pile of garbage, grinded his teeth.
‘These children . . . must be killed today. certainly.’
Anyway, after a little while, those eye-thorn knights will also be absent for operational training.
That’s your chance.
The assassin trembled at the disgrace he had never experienced during the camouflage mission for nearly 20 years.
That was then.
“Ohh? They are fun guys.”
outside the terrace.
There was a person watching the scene from a huge tree.
The same silver hair as the peacock.
Unlike a playful smile, a young man with cold eyes.
A man who looked like the duke’s youth was smiling with conversion.
*
9 o’clock that evening.
The assassin finished his servant’s work as usual.
“Then I will go in.”
And the moment he closes the door towards his room as usual.
“This time, I will never fail.”
He took off his servant figure.

Meanwhile he quickly turns into cancer happiness. He quickly exited the dormitory with the emergency exit he had prepared in advance.
His goal is an outhouse.
‘It has already been confirmed that the knights who should protect the prince go to the training ground.’
Actually 30 minutes ago, the assassin even checked with his own two eyes.
-Prince. When it’s time for a meeting, we’ll just leave. I have an order to participate in the Knights Templar training.
– I’ll be back soon.
– What is it, Galon, what’s on your face? a. No one can harm the Prince here. Anyway, it’s the Duke of Garcia’s family.
Ian laughed too.
– I’m fine. Come on.-
Now Ian was alone.
A twisted little boy who can’t be left alone without any soldiers or attendants.
If you put your mind to it, this mission was close to a piece of cake.
‘Still, I don’t mind. I secretly assassinate so that my identity is not revealed.’
And it was then.
[what. Is it already moving?]
The assassin bowed his head at the voice he heard in his arms.
It was the voice that came through the communication tool.
[Isn’t it too sooner than planned?]
“no. Leave it to me.”
Ian knew it was midnight, but the assassin moved the time a little bit earlier.
Seeing the attitude of the former knights toward the prince, it was better to hurry.
‘I hope it is for the prince, enough to help with chores.’
So, he was going to take care of the prince at this time, when the training would be long.
Normally, after training, I would go home from work and not come back, but it was still unsettling.
And it was then.
The voice disappeared from the communication device, and the assassin arrived in a secluded place in an outbuilding, avoiding people’s eyes.
And he headed to the secret passage through the ceiling, as he had researched beforehand.
‘I’ve been looking into it. Good luck.’
quiver
The ceiling was too old. It makes a sound every time it moves.
But that didn’t matter to the assassin.
snuggle
As the assassin made up his mind, his movements became lighter.
At this level, it is enough to just pass the sound of the passing wind.
No one would have noticed that he was here.
Would you have moved for such a long time?
‘found.’
The assassin confirmed Ian from the ceiling.
Ian was lying lonely on the bed, holding his pillow in his arms. He slept very deeply and his chest movements were also regular.
You must be tired of coming all the way here.
The assassin smiled.
‘great. process.’The assassin took a thread and a poison bottle from his bosom. In fact, it went down from the ceiling in an instant and stretched out toward Ian’s mouth.
‘Now, all you have to do is spill the venom into the thread and you’re done.’
It was the moment when the venom was sprayed on the assassin’s hand.
Whoops!
“!!”
Wasn’t something piercing towards him who was hiding in the ceiling?
It was an attack that aimed precisely at his neck!
‘shit! The prince is sleeping, who!’
But the assassin did not have time to be astonished.
squishy!
The floor on the ceiling that was holding his tight weight was broken.
bang!
And it was then.
“Aww, it’s huge!”
“!!?”
The assassin was startled by the familiar voice.
He had no choice but to do so.
“Look, am I right?”
It was none other than Nathan who dropped the assassin.
Even a gallon next to it!
So the assassin had no choice but to recite the double lust.
‘Damn, why are they here!’
What a duke’s summons!
It’s important enough that the knights will get a penalty if they ignore it!
But Nathan shrugged looking at Gallon.
“Knowing this, I stole Gallon.”
“You tell each one.”
As they drew their swords, the assassin retreated hastily.
But the real problem wasn’t the knights.
“Ahhh?!”
Something different from the knights’ attack pierced the assassin’s stomach.
And that’s when I didn’t even know what it was.
“!”
After giving the assassin a blow, Ion widened his eyes.
again
Beads flowed from his arms.
It was a communication channel.
just as expected.
[what. This sound. Hey, what happened? Where did you deal with the guy called the little brother that rolled around?]
A young man’s voice was heard in the communication area.
And at that voice, the two knights widened their eyes, and Ion had no choice but to laugh.
‘ah. I thought it was Lavalor’s assassin. Was he the culprit?’
This guy wasn’t a duke.
