Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

“Elven Empress Harloys and Roland (whose identity is also you-knoho) came under attempted assassinations simultaneously The assassins ‘Jade Flas’ Venven died at the scene, while the assassin ‘Iron Eed to escape The Mist Alliance has offered a great reward for Sarwin’s capture…”

Before the next day’s dawn even arrived, this shocking news astonished the entire Northlands

Before it was even light outside, I reported to Reyne and the others that Harloys and I were still alright, and then we started analyzing this entire assassination incident

Facing a veteran like myself as far too much of an expert in matters of the soul, it would be impossible to lie In fact, lies would only arouse ilance This er, had toldbut the truth in order to attract my attention and obtain my trust

Not only had Harloys been assassinated, her attackers had been two Level 4 elves Those two elven assassins had ed to successfully assassinate the new Elven Empress Harloys’… clone while she was accompanied by numerous other Superior Elves

“One assassin was a Level 4 elven archer, while the other was a Level 4 druid who specialized in transforical resistance Both of thee My clone was killed in just a single round of attacks, and has now exploded into a pile of shattered slis now?”

Harloys was feeling quite frustrated I now understood why she had reacted so slowly toattacked It was likely that she had been concentrating mostly on her clone’s political tasks, and that her clone’s assassination had drawn all of her attention By the time that she returned her mind to my side, it was likely that her assassination had already been over

Both assassinations had occurred simultaneously It was quite evident that this had been planned in order to prevent reinforce sent to both of us at once Si three Level 4 individuals whose abilities countered ours to try and assassinate us was truly such a grand scheht now, Harloys was still worrying about having exposed the fact that her clone was made up of slimes This didn’t seem important to me at all

“Well, since my clone exploded into slimes, I’ll just say that it’s actually an eastern ninjutsu technique”

“A ninjutsu technique that exploded into slimes? nobody will believe a ridiculous excuse like ninjutsu Why not just say that you made your clone out of water? So what if you say that it’s just water or whatever you want? Do you really need a believable explanation? Isn’t it sih for you to show up and prove that you’re still alive? Atability”

I felt that Harloys’ frustrations were quite unnecessary As long as she was still around to control the situation, she wouldn’t even need to give an explanation, and if she was unable to control the situation, then no explanation she gave would be of any use

Besides, for individuals with such status as hers, it would be quite co abilities An explanation? You wantedtechnique worked? Could it be that you want to murder me?

This sudden incident s we needed to think about The recently coronated Elven E Harloys h over

“…This incident wasn’t caused by the moon elves?”

Harloys held back for quite a while before finally saying this Although she was asking it as a question, she had a definite tone

“Of course it wasn’t the moon elves If those moon elves had had such ability, they would have caused far h all three assassins had been powerful elves, the doms, the more I felt like someone else was actually behind theuess too ht be

“…The Holy Church”

“It has to be them Only they have the foundational power”

The Holy Church was the largest human faction of all Naturally, this meant that humans were the main members However, there were also plenty of powerful individuals froht It wouldn’t be that difficult for the Holy Church to find a feerful elves ere loyal to their cause

“However, the moon elves are definitely related Perhaps there are even human domain lords who suffered because of you that are involved”

“…It’s likely Let’s wait for the results of the investigation”

We both felt rather helpless Even though we clearly kneanted to kill us, it was difficult to take revenge right now This was indeed frustrating

“…Sirar was an incredibly precious high-quality chess piece”

In this world, there was no such thing like the strongest or invulnerable Every single ability would have advantages and disadvantages The power of revenge was an ancient, powerful ability that was passed down in this world It was said that this power originated froers still had secret techniques passed down ae, and they even had special job classes for this power
