Chapter 148: GIRLS DIE?
The assassin nodded. "Tell me the details."
"The target is the fourth prince, Claus Quintin. He is currently inside the new attraction of Hidden Cave together with Princess Lena and the two daughters Earl Riea."
"... It will be a bit difficult. I heard the fourth prince is being protected by a powerful master."
"Don't worry, the Transcendent beside His Highness assured us that nobody powerful is protecting the princess. Even if Prince Claus truly has a powerful master, that master is not with him right now."
"... I understand. But there is the possibility that the prince's master left him a life-saving treasure. Moreover, there are many nobles with their bodyguards nearby. They will act immediately when they feel the commotion."
"Actually, that is not a problem." The servant smiled. "The prince is currently inside an illusory array, so nothing that happens inside will be detected outside. Furthermore, it doesn't matter if you fail to assassin the prince."
"What do you mean?"
"Besides the prince, His Highness also wants that you kill the other three girls."
"Oh?"
"Think about it. If the prince dies after meeting His Highness and the Earl, then they will be the biggest suspects. But if the earl's two daughters and the princess also dies, then nobody will suspect them.
"After all, nobody will think that the earl killed his own daughters, and His Highness doesn't have a reason to kill his sister. Even if someone suspects something, His Highness will not be the biggest suspect.
"And if you fail to kill the prince, but kill the other three girls, it'll be even better. After all, what do you think will happen to the prince if he is the only one that survives the assassination and the other girls die?"
"Do you mean..."
"Yes. We just need to fan the flames a little, and the prince will become the biggest suspect."
The assassin looked at the servant in admiration before nodding. "I understand. I'll accomplish my mission.
After those words, the memories ended.
A strange silence appeared between us. I watched how Louise's expression changed from astonishment to rage, sadness, and betrayal. Finally, she put on a bitter smile.
"I can't believe it..."
"Well, you saw it. The assassins were clearly aiming towards all of you. I'm sure you have your methods to confirm if they were truly sent by Alan or not."
"... Not need, I believe you." Louise shook her head sadly. "It's just that I never thought that cousin Alan could do something like that. To think that our family has given him our unconditional support and he repays us this way."
