Episode 36.10 (1/2)

That was 25 years ago.

Nirfut a rookie assassin at the time came to Town of Mashajain, mixed among delegations of Boldrin. House of Wazrof was having a celebration, thus Boldrin sent a group of envoys to congratulate them.

A chance to get in Wazrof House main building doesn't come often. Using this opportunity, Boldrin's ruler, Cassandra ordered them to investigate the security in Wazrof's main building.

It's not like they're planning to make enemy out of House of Wazrof at all. Doesn't matter if they're allies or enemies, being prepared to infiltrate their dwelling when the situation demands it is not unusual among nobles.

The one leading knights welcoming Boldin entourage was Jinga Tauer. Of course they knew the name as they had gathered intel on Wazrof beforehand.

Nirfut's entire body reflexively cowered when Jinga's eyes were turned at him.

(I'm busted!)

He found out for sure. The fact that Nirfut's a spy, and an assassin. Nirfut could feel it.

He was so scared he spent the entire night in his lodging quivering.

And Uzu never came back.

Uzu is Nirfut's senior as well as teacher. He was the one who taught Nirfut his espionage and assassination skills.

Uzu with his ogre-like strength and devilish craftiness failed and got caught. He would took his own life if he got lucky, otherwise, hell awaits.

Of course, anyone would learn how a building is arranged and the outward layouts if they got invited to another noble house. However, naturally you are only allowed to explore within the permitted areas, if you get caught intruding a building you're not supposed to be at, you will meet a fitting retribution. And if that building houses a VIP, you could even be suspected of assassination.

The delegation's representative turned dead pale and trembled badly.

As they waited for their punishment, they were let back home easily instead.
