"The clock strikes midnight." A person said, in their black clothes "Assassinate the target" 

"Understood." the rest said 

Looking at the grandiose house in front of them, one sighed 

"Wish I could live as this" One said with greed 

"Shut up and stop talking" 

Sources said that the girl they targeted had powerful inheritance magic. 

One of the inside sources said that the bloodline ability of the Cornwall family was their Pyknosis, which was used by the "Godly swordsmen" Whose sun lit up the world, Andrax Cornwall

Quickly breaking into the building, the group scattered along the wide and narrow hallways

they needed to silence the servants, or problems with arise for their motherland 

Walking down the halls and stopping, Erika felt a vibration in her palm 

A detection device disguised as a pearl bracelet. Any harmful emotion such as killing intent could be detected within a 200 m radius, alerting the user with a small vibration depending on how far away the person radiating killing intent is 

With a frown, She dashed into her room and got prepared 

Putting on her battle armour and grabbing her sword, she put her battle armour into dress mode, and her sword sealed in a small space storage ring she kept on her. Any sneak attack could lead to her death, so she needed to be vigilant 

She wasn't worried for her father. although timid and emotionally manipulated, the Cornwall family has pride in their resident's strength. He's around level 150, which wasn't low at all

Seeing the vibrations and vibrations getting closer and closer, she kept on walking, pretending that she didn't know what was going on

hearing the dash, she quickly got her sword and parried the incoming dagger at her back

*Clash*

The assassin retreated towards the end of the corridor 

"Now, now isn't it the bastard child of the Qu-" 

Erika charged at him hearing this. She could tell he was stalling for time. He seemed to be an Assassin type, putting his stat points in dexterity and power.

Seeing her getting closer, the assassin quickly fled backwards behind the corridor, trying to make the distance. prolonged combat wasn't great for assassins, since they focused on short but deadly bursts 

If there was one thing Assains was known for, it was their cunning tricks 

Throwing a poisoned kunai at Erika, the maiden parried it with her blade as she returned it back to the Assasin with greater speed 

Seeing the rapidly approaching kunai, the assassin couldn't move out the way as the kunai grazed his cheeks 

Feeling his body go numb, the assassin quickly tried to escape, only being blocked by Erika

"Ah, Life is so cruel~~~~" He said non-chauntley as he bit the poison pill in his mouth

Assassin 101 is that if you hired by someone, always have a poison pill ready for suicide, this way, nobody gets vital information

Hearing the powerful flames sizzle and the loud screams in the mansion,  Erika muttered 

"That's my father for you"


Aryan was humming in the shop, doing the normal daily chores when an explosion happened above Cornwall castle. 

Seeing this, Mrs Beatrix sighed 

"Those Adror folks are the way too fast when they come to trying to kill someone" She tutted, Continuing to sweep the floor

"Indeed it is so," Aryan said, looking towards the mesmerising red that radiates off the flame


With a sigh, the duke looked towards the 5 people 

"Where you come from?" Duke said, Watching as the 5 people with fire shackles were chocking for oxygen 

"W-we w-wil never tel-l you f-fucker!" One said, trying to spit on Duke 

"Erika!" Duke shouted, causing the maiden to go to her father  "Get veronica for me please darling" 

Which made Erika pout while she went to Veronica

Veronica was a high levelled shaman that focuses on Information extraction. Using spirits and that cliche shit she can read the mind and memories of her pray 

Quickly walking in, she read the mans memories 

 


1 hour later

*Slam* A sound was heard as the castle rumbled 

"Say that again," Duke said, with a mutter and confused face 

"The assassins weren't from Adror." The Shaman said, smoking from her tobacco pipe 

"Where did they come from then?"  Erika said with a confused expression 

"The king's royal guard."
