Chapter 41 - Assassin Organization (1/2)

Arrangements for her new living conditions moved along smoothly. Under The Matriarch's watchful eye, Azer arranged everything very quickly, and alongside everyone's hostile gazes, Iris moved into Rose Drop pavillion.

Riya was given a rather mediocre courtyard, but it was volumes better than her previous ones. Not to mention a big batch of new clothes were given to Iris and Riya, along with more maids and better food arrangements.

Of course, none of the stuff given to them was better than the one the rest of the family received. Their treatment hadn't improved too much.

However, this was more than enough for the time being. Even though the fact that Aria hadn't been punished in the slightest was a disappointment, but it was to be expected.

Aria was chided lightly for the 'misunderstanding' and nothing more was done.

One thing did change after this ordeal.

Aside from when her Grandmother called her over, Iris was never allowed to come sit with the family at the dining table. No one came across her, no one looked at her, no one talked to her. But this was for the best, she had more pressing matters to attend to.

A few days later, a letter from Rivas arrived.

He spoke of his new ideas for making weapons, his plans for setting up a production team and how he wanted to divide the profit.

Iris didn't care about his way of handling things, she had confidence in his skills. But something caught her eye.

'I plan to return to the Capital in a few months, that time would be the best for me. What are your plans on dealing with the organization that wanted to hunt me down? I heard their inner dispute was solved, and now they are more actively gaining the support of the Royal Family.'

That's right, the Assassin Organization.

They were gaining power quicker than ever.

Perhaps she may not be able to get rid of them in one go, unless she gathered more information on them. In her past life, they were a team dominant to the end, and they were one of the biggest forces behind Leon, that made him unable to be challenged.

Their influence was so great that when the Great Female General Iris was sentenced to execution, not a single voice of protest was heard among nobles and commoners alike, despite her popularity due to her achievements, all in fear of them.

So, exterminating completely or damaging the organization to a critical point was a tricky problem.

Iris did not, however, make an empty promise with Rivas without a plan in mind. Her plan had a high chance of success, just that she had spotted a flaw in it, a flaw that could be fixed with a little more information on the organization.

Thus, to back up one plan, another was created.

Since her life would be a battlefield against those who had wronged her, after rebirth Iris had decided to live her life with the solid rules of the Art of War.
