Bab 369: This Elder Is Scary!

The door slowly opened, creaking as an assassin appeared. But, his state was strange. 

For some reason, he had trouble standing as he mechanically put one foot in front of the other. He was even sweating heavily and had trouble breathing. 

In his hands, he was carrying…a tray? 

Was this guy really just bringing food? Then why did he seem so stressed? The archer earlier hadn't shown any trace of fear. 

"M-Matriarch, sorry to interrupt. Here is the food you asked me to deliver earlier today." His voice was shaking as he said that. 

Right now, she was staring at him as if he had committed a grave sin for some reason. This glare made him freeze as he despaired at his current situation: 

1. There was possibly something happening between the elder and the matriarch. 

2. They were alone in a room with the door closed. (Usually, it was wide open)
