Chapter 185 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [36] (2/2)

(The troublesome guards are far behind. Now is the time to do it!)

The next moment, Sie pulled out a dagger that had been concealed in her dress at an indiscernible speed.

「Numero Dolan, prepare yourself!」

She lunged straight towards his heart.

「「「Wha!?」」」

The ceremony hall became uproarious, and Numero opened his eyes due to the sudden roar.

At the same time, the guards who were on alert near the entrance ran towards the altar with their faces turning pale.

The blessing mood of the ceremony hall crumbled down and broke into chaos.

「Nu, oh…」

A sharp dagger was thrust deep into Numero’s chest, and he fell to his knee on the spot.

(I-I did it…)

Sie, who succeeded in the assassination of Numero Dolan, the great noble of the Empire,

「…Wha!?」

Involuntarily became speechless at the inexplicable scenario unfolding before her eyes.

The dagger that stuck deep into his chest – had no blade.

To be more precise, it was melting as if it had been burned by scorching flames.

The coward Numero fainted in shock, but he was still unhurt.

(This is… the ability of soul dress!?)

When Sie stared at the dagger without its blade dumbfoundedly,

「Kusu kusu kusu…」

An eerie laughter echoed throughout the ceremony hall.

「My My…! The vow to God cannot be altered, you know?」

The priest, who now had a heinous smile on his face – a complete 180 turn around from his friendly smile – flung off his vestment.

Underneath the vestmen was a black coat engraved with a『certain crest』, which was allowed to be worn only by the top executives of the Black Organization.

「…Just when I thought I got through Numero’s guards.」

From the sudden change of outfit and expression, Sie instantly saw through the true identity of the priest.

「Gregor Ash, one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle. I didn’t think such a big shot would be assigned as a guard.」

Having failed to assassinate Numero, color began to drain from Sie’s face in front of an unexpected formidable enemy.
