Chapter 23: Meeting A Friend And Aleshias Preparation (1/2)

”Shiana?”

A female voice sounded from the side. Aleshia turned her head and saw a big-breasted female wearing a dark cloak. She was also one of the assassins working in the Lanika Branch of the Blood Flower Assassin Organization. She was a friend that Aleshia has met here.

”Hereth.”

They were both calling each other using pseudonyms. It was forbidden for the assassins to call each other with their real names. After all, if a spy entered their ranks, that spy would be easily able to identify all of them. Even Aleshia herself doesn't know what's the real name of this woman.

Aleshia could investigate her background since she knows her face, but it would be violating a rule of the assassin organization. Since technically, only spies would do something like that.

Hereth was a beautiful woman. She may not be as beautiful as Aleshia but her looks are not to be looked down upon. It was one of her assets in her missions. Compared to Aleshia who only kills silently and decisively, Hereth lures her target before killing them swiftly. It was the reason why she was such a successful assassin.

”What's with the maid uniform?”

She noticed the maid uniform that Aleshia was wearing. Aleshia had nowhere to change her clothes. It was not a big deal anyway if others see the insignia of the Horiel family on her. It might arouse some suspicions about her, but they would just think that she was doing a mission in the Horiel mansion.

”I can explain later. Anyways, why did you let that receptionist named Jane investigate my background?”

Aleshia brushed her off. She didn't want to talk about it. It was a good uniform but it was still quite embarrassing when she was seen by someone she knew. Instead, she was more curious about something else.

”Ah, that bitch? She is very powerful. Even I'm not a match for her.”

Hereth shrugged her shoulders. If she was too strong then, of course, she couldn't have done anything. Aleshia was just asking the impossible.

”Besides, I don't excel in dealing with women.”

Hereth added. For someone like her who uses her charms to seduce her targets, using them against other women is just useless. She was not beautiful to the point that other women would be willing to spend the night with her.

”Did she reveal everything?”

Hereth asked with a concerned look on her face.

”No, but she revealed everything about my real identity to my target!”

Aleshia gritted her teeth in anger. Just remembering about it makes her mad. The receptionist laid out all of her weaknesses to Lawrend and Lawrend used it all to his advantage.

”That sucks. Do you need some help?”

Hereth sighed. The only thing she could do to console Aleshia was to offer her help. After all, it already happened.

”No. I don't need any help with this mission.”

Aleshia shook her head. She doesn't want anyone to interfere with her battle against Lawrend. She had already betted that he could be trusted by agreeing to his deal earlier. If he dies now, it would be her loss.

”Whatever.”

Hereth shrugged her shoulders at Aleshia. If she doesn't want her help then she's not obligated to force her.

”Anyways, what are you doing here? Especially in that outfit. Haha!”
