Kleagan's eyes opened wide, whether it was because he had a dagger sticking out from the back of his throat or because of what Lyle had said, nobody would know as blood started coming out of his mouth.
Lyle pulled out the dagger and let Kleagan's motionless body fall to the ground, merely glancing at him as he bled out.
And just like that, a traitor who was a peak Golden Knight, a person close to becoming a Titled Knight and one who was actually slightly more powerful than Lyle in sheer stats, had died.
The main reason for Kleagan's quick death was ironically just what Kleagan had said at the beginning.
A good assassin and spy knew how to hide their true strength and abilities, and compared to Lyle, who could fuse with the shadows of his dead servants and gain their powers for a short period of time, Kleagan was far below him in such a thing.
