Chapter 421 - The Stab 2 (2/2)

Libiya was known to be the only nation where monster troops were used.

So, that was why they were the first ones to rise when thought about monsters.

‘But why? Didn’t they just send a congratulatory message and gift at the coronation ceremony?’

Moreover, the Libiya Kingdom had no reason to attack the Milton Kingdom.

Both the kingdoms were in the middle of the war of independence against the Baroque Empire.

Even if they didn’t think about the future, it was helpful for both the kingdoms to stay beside the other.

Mayers’ mind was full of complicated thoughts.

A middle-aged noble with a sharp impression came into the military camp with a stern face.

He was the man who was in charge of the communication with Aegis agents.

“Your Majesty, the assassination of Marquis Luke has failed.”

“What? Failed?”

Listening to it, Mayers jumped out.

“Why, why would they even fail this?”

According to the reports received, even though the boundaries of the enemies were closer, it was very likely that the aegis agents infiltrated seeing a gap.

But suddenly, the news came back saying they failed!

“I don’t know why. However, it is likely that they were all discovered since they haven’t contacted me for a few days.”

“No, that can’t be!”

Not one or two, but dozens of fairies.

After a long period of brainwashing and training, he couldn’t believe that the men who were specialized to do stealth operations had failed.

“Although it is still early to conclude just because the communication has been lost. So we will wait until tomorrow morning.”

Aegis agents had self-destructed tools in their bodies.

Even if discovered, they would just die alone.

If they did use those tools, the news would have reached to Mayers.

So Mayers decided to wait until tomorrow morning and then take any countermeasures.

“Dammit, till tomorrow morning? I am going to be plagued by Bazzo.”

And as expected, Count Bazzo constantly appeared in his dreams every night.

The bloody terrible dead body he had been seeing for days still existed, and now he was getting accustomed to it, but the cool energy that was swaying his body and the sorrow of the talks was seeping into his mind.

-Your Majesty… it was unfair…

“Stop it now will you?! I told you that I didn’t do that, right?”

-Huhuu, why did you have to kill me…?

“Stop it! Didn’t you say you were loyal? Why are you bothering me like this?”

-It is unfair! It is unfair!

“Heeik!”

Mayers, who was feeling stressed, pulled the sword from his bedside.

And swung at the image of Count Bazzo who was approaching him.

“Get lost, you damn ghost!”

“Kuek!”

Mayers shook the sword but got woken with a clear scream.

The dark curtain was bright, and a knight was dying with blood flowing out of his neck.

“Y, Your Majesty… Majesty… why…?”

Upon hearing those screams, Reynold and the other men rushed to the King’s camp and were shocked to see the bloody body of a knight and the bloody sword of the man who used it.

“Your Majesty?”

“Ah, no! I didn’t kill him because I want to!”

Shocked at what he did, Mayers threw down his sword and was shaking while mumbling things.

The cat, well, Sebastian, who was at the corner of the military base, smiled at the murder which happened.

The next morning, rumors began to spread that the King had gone mad and killed a knight in his camp.

The rumors did more damage to the Milton Kingdom than the losses they received from the Rakan estates.
