Aslan, who was with Marquis Mayers, smiled.

When he thought of Emperor Rudolf and Lazlie being flustered, laughter came onto his lips.

“Then the Hydra will be on the move.”

“And what could Hydra be?”

Marquis Mayers began to explain Aslan’s question.

“That is a secret assassination organization which gathers special assassin and makes them work for the Baroque Imperial family. In the past, those who bothered the family were killed by using them.”

“… so, they don’t seem to be such great?”

“For what are you looking like that?” Asked Mayers.

At the question from Marquis Mayers, Aslan spoke his thoughts.

“If they really are such great forces, wouldn’t they have already tried to get rid of Marquis and Duke Butler?”

At the answer from Aslan, Mayers smiled. It was like looking at an innocent child.

“Do you know anything about the short knife?”

“Are you talking about the dagger?” Asked Aslan.

“What do you think about the dagger as a weapon? Why do you think that it is effective to use it in the open and swing in the back streets?” Asked Mayers.

“No. It would be better to hide it and then pierce it.”

“Yes. The weapon one should cherish. Hydra is an organization which will be used like a dagger.”

Aslan quickly understood the meaning of Mayers words.

And one other thing.

If he was aware enough to have grasped the organizations of the Imperial family, Marquis Mayers was prepared for it.

“I guess there is a dagger that marquis has too.”

“Well, rather than an offensive weapon, mine is more like a shield.” Answered Mayers.

“I wonder what kind of shield it is.”

However, Marquis didn’t answer to Aslan’s curiosity.

“You will know soon. When they will come over here to take the life of yours.”

With that, Mayers said no more, nor did Aslan ask anything.

And life wasn’t something that could be wasted to see such things.

If there was anything scary, it was to die in vain without completing his revenge.

So, he wanted the Marquis to play as he wanted to get his results.

And seeing how things were going on, he was glad to have approached the Marquis.

However, there was an unfortunate thing.

‘It would have been a lot better if there were documents that could be used as decisive evidence.’

Based on his testimony, Marquis Mayers was trying to make and gather evidence, however, it would be difficult to get perfect copies.

‘Half of the evidence was stolen, and the other half was lost… and the proof is expensive for saving one’s life.’

The more he thought, the more saddening it was for Aslan.

And the bitter expression of Aslan wasn’t easily erased.
