Chapter 83: CHAPTER 83: Plans
In a dark basement.
"Is that my next target?"
A woman appeared silently. She had long black hair and burgundy eyes, and looked at the portrait of the target given to her with an expressionless face.
"Ah, the target this time is Leon Fol Palletia, the second prince of Palletia. You have to kill him and know that there is no room for failure."
The nobleman said while smoking a cigar.
"I know, just like before, remember to pay me the promised remuneration... My brother's illness seems to have gotten worse recently."
"Okay, okay, after everything is done, I will give your brother a high-level healing magic."
"Remember what you said."
The assassin's hand holding the portrait became a little firmer.
The noble snorted coldly when he saw this, thinking that she was really a stupid woman, so he decided to add more fuel to the fire.
"Do you remember your hometown?"
"What do you mean?"
"This time, the Prince will dominate his hometown. Yes, someone is coming to exploit those people again. After his parents are gone, the only thing he has left is his younger brother. If..."
An incomparably great killing intent was released from the woman.
The expressionless face suddenly became like that of a furious beast, and the portrait in his hand was smashed into pieces by the overflowing magical power.
"My hometown is already full of holes, and my parents were oppressed to death because of those nobles, so... I will never let that happen again, I will kill all those bandits who oppressed us!"
Then the killer turned and walked away.
The nobleman sitting in his original position breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that this assassin was still as fierce as ever.
But she is a very stupid woman.
She can't do anything other than kill people. He was simply deceived by him. Why treat your brother? Not only can it not cure you, it will continue to poison you.
"It's a shame. Although she is stupid, she is very strong. Even all my knights together cannot defeat this bitch. Otherwise, I would have already enjoyed this, 'Princess of Thorns' body."
------
Inside a luxurious carriage.
"Your Highness, the problem here is indeed very serious."
"Yes, but it is still within the expected range."
"The source of water is distant, the land is dry and, although it is very close to neighboring countries, there is a mountain in the middle that prevents smooth commerce and... After two generations of incompetence on the part of the nobles, the people are very dissatisfied with us/the nobles."
Euphilia looked at the information with an expressionless face and sighed, as His Highness had indeed chosen a good place.
This territory has not yet started a rebellion, not because it does not have the will, but simply because it does not have the conditions.
It's not easy to deal with this.
But if you think about it from another angle.
When Leon really takes care of it, no matter how prosperous the building is, even if it is only mid-level, the king will probably pass the throne to him immediately.
Well, it doesn't matter what happens now.
"Hmmmm~!"
"Euphilia, don't look at me like that."
"Is there something you want to say?"
"Although I didn't do anything wrong, I'm sorry."
Leon had a rare moment of shyness.
Unconsciously he touched his neck with his hands, but there was nothing he could do. Now he was a little embarrassed to face Euphilia.
On Leon's neck, a red lip mark is still faintly visible, which was a gift left by his beautiful elf who left this morning.
Euphilia, who was waiting for him in the carriage early in the morning, saw the lip mark on Leon's neck before she even greeted him, and her vision immediately became subtle.
"No wonder those maids made that expression."
Leon spoke to himself.
It would be strange if his maids weren't surprised to see a hickey on his neck after he woke up, and they didn't have the courage to clean the marks off his lips.
The maids could only pretend that they didn't know anything, and then they were secretly suspicious and envious, wondering which little cousin in the castle was responsible for the good deed!
"By the way, where did you get the sponsorship?"
Euphilia asked after adjusting her mindset.
She thought it was useless to care about the hickey now.
The important thing is that before Leon left, he found a large amount of gold coins and a lot of manpower from unknown sources, and she knew his relationship with the nobles was very bad.
But your network of contacts is actually very wide.
"Haha, that's a secret." Leon raised a finger and placed it in front of his lips.
"...I see, so I won't ask anymore." Euphilia was very sensible.
She realized that if her current trust level wasn't enough to uncover Leon's secrets, it didn't matter, Euphilia would work hard to gain trust.
This test is also an opportunity for her to help Leon and show off her skills.
"Regarding the most critical issue, public opinion, do you have any plans? I have several plans here."
"Ah, don't worry about it. Although I can't understand all this dissatisfaction right away, I have found a way."
"...Yes."
Euphilia was silent for a while.
The perfect daughter's eyes twitched.
This guy is very capable!
Isn't it a complete lack of opportunity for her to show off her skills? Leon and Algard are brothers, but the difference between them is a little too big.
"Don't give up. If you give up now, you'll never get the position of queen."
Leon smiled and patted Euphilia's head.
Those purple eyes seemed to be able to see through her heart and easily understand her thoughts,
The silver-haired girl didn't know what to say, so she could only express with firm eyes that she wouldn't give up.
"Okay, we're almost at the territory. Let me go see the people who welcomed me."
"Your Highness, it would be dangerous to go out like this."
"I know, what I'm waiting for is danger."
Leon said, taking out a letter and placing it on the seat.
Then he jumped out of the carriage with a calm smile, mounted a white horse and headed towards the territory.
Euphilia took the piece of paper with an air of doubt and, after taking a quick look, stood up straight in surprise.
[When you go to the territory chosen by His Highness today, someone will try to assassinate you on the way. Please be careful. Those who planned this are Count xxx, Baron XXX, Marquis XXX...]
Unexpectedly, someone planned to assassinate Leon!
But what's even more surprising is that Leon actually knows.
Euphilia read the names of the culprits in the letter and felt her scalp numb.
What kind of intelligence network does Leon have? In the letter, every word of what the other person said when he was plotting was clearly recorded, and there were no exaggerated details.
Those who discussed dealing with Leon would never imagine that there was a traitor among them. Well no, it must be said that there was a spy.
Leon: "Although Night Raid is my greatest strength, the conditions for membership are very severe. I have also collected a few other companions over the years."
Although they have not undergone Demonic Possession, they have special talents. For example, the person who passed the murder information to him has the talent of a spy.
Euphilia stared at Leon riding the white horse and once again realized his unfathomable...
And riding a white horse is really cool!
She was stunned.
