Bab 44: Chapter 44
'Lord Master, I'm inside the Sun Palace, and I can grab the Sun Rune. Should I do that?'
'Oh? You're inside the palace, huh? There must be a lot of assassins in that area. Are you okay?'
I can feel Chiyome puffing her chest for a second before I hear her answer.
'You didn't need to worry, Lord Master. They are weaker than me. They cannot detect me. Even the barrier around the throne room can't detect me.'
'That is good. As for the Sun Rune… Take it. Use the phone I gave you and go to the storage app. Click "store" and press the phone onto the Sun Rune. It should be stored inside the pocket dimension.'
The connection stays silent. I tap my feet on the boat in worry as I wait for her to talk to me once again. After seven minutes of waiting, I heard her voice once again.
'I have the Sun Rune, Lord Master.'
'Are you okay, Chiyome?'
'I'm fine, Lord Master. I need to quickly get away after taking the Sun Rune.'
'That is good. You are fine, and that is good.'
I can feel her feeling happy at my concern.
'Of course, Lord Master. It is your command that I do not get injured, and I shall not let anyone injure me.'
'That is good. How is your overall mission?'
'Only a few more targets left, and I already cast a curse of mistrust on Godwin to make the false information stick.'
'You can use a curse, Chiyome?'
'I might not be able to use the full extent of my curse knowledge because of my current class, but I can still use basic curse techniques like this, Lord Master.'
'I see. That is good. Anyway, please don't get hurt and prioritize your safety over the mission. After you are done, you can return.'
'Yes, Lord Master. I shall return to your side as fast as possible.'
After saying that, our connection comes to an end. I release a sigh and look at the river we are passing. I cannot wait to see the Sun Rune in my pocket dimension.

"T-thank you so much! The people of Haud Village will forever be in debt to the prince!"
"It is not a problem, my lord. We are happy to help. Even after the betrayal of Lord Barrows, we are still willing to assist people who continue to fight against Godwin."
After saying that, we leave the lord's mansion and return to the local inn. Haud is among the many villages and cities that Barrows abandoned after he gave up and surrendered to the Godwin faction.
With Chiyome spreading the rumor that Lords opposing Godwin would be killed sooner or later, I have many clients waiting for me. These clients are not just interested in profit; they also want to support the prince and his cause.
"Of course, Sir Gerrald! We will support the prince from the background and make sure to take down the Godwin scum."
"Of course. However, the prince will be safe as long as you take care of your people. Feed them and ensure they endure as long as possible, okay?"
"Yes! We understand. We cannot attract Godwin's attention and will lay low until the moment to strike arises."
"Good. Then we will leave first."
"Your group wants to use the inn, right? How about using my mansion instead? We have a dozen empty rooms you can use."
I look at my companions and see them nodding their heads.
"Sure. We will be in your care then."
"Not a problem at all! Come inside! I will order the servants to cook some food."

After the feast, my companion and I entered the room that the Lord of Haud Village had already prepared for us. Once inside my room, I quickly opened a portal to my pocket dimension and stepped inside. I closed the portal and made my way to my pocket home.
I sat down on the ground and summoned the Sun Rune from my pocket dimension vault. Within seconds, a marble statue in the shape of a beautiful woman's face appeared before me, with a large orb on her forehead shining brightly with power.
I took out my stamp and prepared to mark the rune. I needed the points to pay off my debt. If I sold this rune, the company would give me one hundred and twenty points—enough to cover my debt and have some points left to spare.
However, just before my stamp could touch the rune, the Sun Rune glowed brightly and flew to my forehead. I could feel a surge of power coursing through my body, making me hotter with each passing second. After a few minutes, the heat subsided, leaving me with four new spells.
I stood up and hurried into my pocket dimension home. In the bathroom, I looked into the mirror and widened my eyes when I saw a sun symbol in the middle of my forehead. Shit. The rune had chosen me, and now I couldn't sell it to the company.
I let out a sigh and made sure to conceal the rune. Luckily, it was well hidden among my hair, and others wouldn't notice it unless they were specifically looking for it. This unexpected turn forced me to adjust my initial plan. Without the rune to sell, I had to find another way to pay off my debt. Fortunately, I only needed to pay thirty points by the end of the month before the interest kicked in.
Taking a deep breath, I contemplated my next move. However, my thoughts were interrupted when I sensed a new target being captured inside my soul. I already had four targets stamped and processed for capture. There were four of them.
I shook my head and connected with my servant. Seconds later, I heard Chiyome's voice.
'Lord Master?'
'Chiyome, I want to know when you stamped the four targets.'
'Last night, Lord Master. While they were asleep, I entered their rooms and stamped them one by one.'
'I see. So you've been in the palace since last night.'
'Since yesterday afternoon. I needed to explore the palace to secure a safe route for the mission.'
'I see. Well done. Who are they?'
'They are Lymsleia Falena, Miakis, Alenia, and Gizel Godwin.'
