29. I will endure it.
Episode 29
“aaa! Do not come!”
Rayman, the current head of the Assassin Blood Clan, was feeling absurd while dealing with Samuel Mayer, who was screaming in terror and brandishing a sword.
Under the order of the Council of Elders, he was able to find the third prince of Meyer Kingdom in the royal capital of Holy Runtas Kingdom.
Of course, there was no certainty that he was Mayer’s third prince from the beginning. It’s just that he judged that the possibility was high because he immediately noticed and ran away as soon as he was followed by Sika’s assassins.
Because of Isaac Mayer’s precedent, the Senate sent Rayman, the head, with caution. The purpose is, of course, not something like annihilation, but contact to gather information.
It was because I did not know what action Isaac Mayer would take if something happened to Samuel Mayer.
The Senate judged that it was difficult to think that he would act in a good way for Shika no matter what he did, and Rayman also agreed with that opinion.
That’s why he came… …
“Do not come! Do not come! “Don’t come!”
“You don’t come!”
Rayman, who was being pushed like crazy and felt threatened for his life, eventually couldn’t stand it and shouted at him.
He was terrified and shouted not to come closer to him, but strictly speaking it was Samuel, not Rayman, who was approaching him.
You’d have to say they’re pushing to kill, to be exact.
Rayman, who had gone through all sorts of brutal missions in his life and finally lost his emotions, but now he was feeling definite emotions.
The name of that emotion is resentment.
Yes. Feelings that were so unfair that they died are reviving.
“I just want to tell a story!”
“Do not lie! What are we talking about while smelling blood and killing flesh?”
In Rayman’s honor, he showers twice a day. In the first place, unlike the image, assassins are mostly clean.
If you smell it and get caught by the assassination target, it’s because there is no dog like that. It was also Rayman’s theory that the more this floor pro, the more neat it should be.
Of course, getting caught because of the smell of soap is stupid, so anything should be appropriate.
“What are you talking about living! I have no intention of killing you!”
“Even though you say that, you are aiming for a vital point! Even if you say that, your body is honest, so what!”
“That’s because you’re trying to kill me! And don’t use that expression for an assassin!”
I’m not kidding, Rayman’s neck would have been rolling down this back alley long ago if he hadn’t resisted with all his might, thinking that he would die if he didn’t kill him.
Since his original job is an assassin, his pure combat power is lower than that of a warrior of the same level, but he is still the leader of Shika. In fact, Rayman had once defeated an A-rank adventurer in a head-to-head match due to unavoidable circumstances.
But dealing with Samuel was much harder than then. At this level, even at the minimum, he would be at the top of the A-rank adventurers.
‘Why are Mayers so sensitive to the smell of blood and death!’
It was hard to even talk about it, let alone assassination or tailing, because it wasn’t some puffer fish, and it reacted just by going near it.
‘No. A blowfish that only inflates its body is rather cute. ‘Because these guys attack us with a greater sense of life than us!’
Rayman, who had been muttering insulting words about the Mayer Kingdom in his heart, slowly realized that holding on was the limit and spoke one last time.
“Samuel Mayer. We really want to talk… !”
“How did you know my name!”
“Oh sh*t, that’s why it became known because you originally planned to go to the Blata Empire!”
It seems that Rayman was limited not only physically, but also mentally.
Sika’s assassins, who had been watching the situation from afar, turned their eyes away without realizing it.
But an unexpected reaction appeared. Hearing the word empire, Samuel suddenly stopped his sword.
“Empire? My eldest brother went there… ?”
Seeing Samuel’s change, Rayman’s eyes lit up with a light of hope. After all, even if he was a Mayer, he wondered if he had no choice but to understand at least a little if he had said this much since he was a human being.
“okay. Your big brother, Isaac Mayer. I want to talk a little bit about him… … .”
“Like the guys who came last time, if you want to know about your big brother, you’ll go find him. Why do you keep coming to me?”
“That’s right, if you approach it prematurely, you’ll be all killed… … Are they the ones who came last time?”
Rayman’s expression, which had been slightly relaxed at the sight of Samuel responding to the conversation, became serious again at once.
‘It must have been last week that we found Samuel. So far, no one has approached him.’
Because they were so sensitive to themselves, they had no choice but to watch them from afar or find out through others, but it didn’t make sense that Rayman and Sica’s assassins couldn’t properly check who was approaching their target.
‘Does that mean there are people who found Samuel one step ahead of us!’
Rayman’s head spun rapidly. I guessed that far, so I knew right away who they were and what their purpose was.
So it was more of a problem.
‘Can I go in more? Or should I drop out?’
Samuel tilted his head and asked as Rayman, who had no judgment, was hesitating.
“Hey, are you okay?”
At Samuel’s words, why did he worry about the enemy who had just fought to the death?
“Excuse me. Just don’t let me back off.”
Unlike Rayman, who pretended to be cool but worried about what to do if he tried to see the end, Samuel just stood there and looked at himself.
“ha.”
Rayman, who somehow felt like everything was stupid, left a small word as if muttering before leaving.
“… … It will be safe to go to the Empire for a while.”
“okay? thank you.”
When Rayman left, all of Sica’s assassins who were watching the situation followed him and disappeared.
After a while, confirming that no one was watching him anymore, Samuel said as he opened the huge trash can behind his back.
“It’s okay now. “You can come out.”
The girl who appeared to be slightly younger than Samuel came out from hiding in the trash can. Samuel bowed his head as if he had no respect for her.
“Sorry. For no reason, someone like me came out of the kingdom… … .”
“You decided not to say that, Samuel! “I’m happy wherever I am with Samuel!”
Dorothy, who was once a lady-in-waiting in the palace, but fell in love with the third prince, continued her speech with a confident attitude.
“It wasn’t like he was lying. Wouldn’t it be better to go to the Empire for now? As for the marriage, it’s already fizzled out, and Isaac is there too, so you’ll be safe!”
“I will, but… … Will my eldest brother save me for running away from my royal duties?”
His older brother doesn’t get angry with the family at all. No, I’ve rarely seen him get angry not only with his family, but also with his subordinates and acquaintances.
Regarding the issue of the opposite s*x, he was a trash person recognized by himself and others, sympathized by all the people of the kingdom, and even acknowledged by his blood relatives, but other than that, he was also a person with no particular flaws.
Even if his life is in danger due to a mistake made by his family, acquaintances, or subordinates, he will not be angry. However, it is a different story when one abandons one’s duty.
“No matter how much I think about it, I think I will die.”
“Don’t worry, Samuel! At that time, I will be with you!”
It was the same with Dorothy that I couldn’t bear to say otherwise. Samuel thought about it for a while, but eventually decided that the next destination would be the Blata Empire.
It wasn’t just going randomly. Samuel had a plan.
‘I’m a weak person to my family, so let’s appeal to the affection of blood.’
… … I did.
—
“Acch.”
“Hey, are you cold? Can I get you some medicine?”
Gilbert, who was cleaning the general store at my sneeze, turned his head and asked. Not feeling anything wrong, I shook my head and replied.
“are you okay. It looks like someone is swearing at me.”
“Well, there are many places where the captain has resentment. Especially for women.”
hmm. Is that Haria? I’d rather have that. If you poke me a few times while cursing, I think it will ease my mind a little bit.
“If it’s something like that, it’s my karma, so I’ll have to endure it.”
“Isn’t it okay if I don’t build up karma from the beginning?”
That’s not it.
“I accept 10 years of resentment for a moment of pleasure. That is the attitude of a prostitute.”
“You say it with a face that looks like you’re saying something really cool, but looking at it from the side, it just looks like garbage.”
I will endure mine too.
While talking about the way of life with Gilbert, Damus and Boros returned.
“I’ve chosen them all, Captain.”
“me too.”
As we headed to the checkout with the two of us, who had filled a store basket full of goods, we were greeted by Gilbert’s wife, Thalia.
“Oh my, chief. Is it Damus and Boros today?”
“I get angry if I don’t play evenly.”
Although Selemin, who has been locked in the Magic Society since moving Haryana’s headquarters, which is investigating the duke’s family, and rarely comes out, has nothing to do with that.
Since the periodic joint training between the Imperial Knights and the Hounds took place, I occasionally went to Gilbert’s general store or restaurant with my off-duty subordinates.
It is true that he had neglected his subordinates for a while after entering the imperial palace, so they went out together to relieve his mood and also to increase the sales of the Gilbert General Store.
There are things like personal items that I can’t bear to talk about, so I’m not the only one stopping by here.
“The captain really cares about his subordinates. Please take care of me even after I retired.”
“Because I will die someday.”
“yes? Ahhh. Yes. People will die someday… ?
More than that, Talia has come to call me Captain these days. Did you pass it on to Gilbert?
Damus, who had been looking around, asked Thalia a question as he was completing the calculation with appropriate small talk.
“Brother. What about our cute princess?”
“Niki is napping in the house upstairs.”
Nikki is the name of Gilbert and Thalia’s young daughter. I’ve seen it a few times… … I could see that Gilbert’s genes were very strong.
“Then go. thanks for your effort.”
“Ah, chief. wait a minute. I have something for you.”
“huh? Are you a candidate for Gina’s third husband?”
All previous attempts have failed. Even though I mobilized all the capabilities of all the Hounds in the two campaigns except for Haria and Selemin, I had no choice but to lose.
The marriage market is a tougher battlefield than it looks. Now that I think about it, I don’t know what the hell was the problem. It would have been the perfect plan.
“Unfortunately, that is still the case. Instead, I found a clue to what you were looking for.”
What Gilbert said is what I’m looking for is the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the different races cooperating with them.
Although he is the owner of a general store, Gilbert is still using the network he had during his active career.
It seemed that his feet were wider than before because he traded with peddlers in the name of importing goods, and above all, among the people Gilbert traded with, there were also those who only had upper patterns or were peddlers.
“What is it?”
“This is it.”
What was handed over was a pamphlet. Written on the front is an explanation that a famous theater company from a continent I know will come to the islands in a few days.
The face of a famous dancer who can be said to be the mascot of the troupe is drawn on the reverse side.
“ah.”
It’s a big deal.
“Why is that? Could it be that she’s touched a woman or something?”
“It can’t be. I had never been to any other human nation before I came to the Islands.”
There is no way to come from there. It’s the sorrow of a country kingdom.
“sure?”
“I am a fan.”
“yes?”
“I’m a fan.”
I am a fan.
