Sitting in the carriage, Sharky’s expression was calm, and anger had vanished away from himself.
He had just co to this banquet to get to know the important person, and develop a connection with her. But he didn’t know that today he also goes to et so assassins.
Although he was able to show off, just a little display of his powers, and the anger, which he had hidden and cald down appeared here.
But he beca angry, because from the day he appeared, his every plan was working perfectly.
His brother Gary has even hidden his background, and without living with the family, he has sacrificed his aim and life just for him. And do, as Sharky wanted.
But just because of this conspiracy, all his work which his brother has done, is going to beco waste. He needs to quickly work on a second plan.
Sitting in the carriage, Sharky sat by himself and continuously thought to himself.
Ti gradually passed.
Soon, it had been half a month.
Over this past half a month, Sharky had acted quite steadily, and he was just like normal. He either went to classes or trained, seeming incredibly diligent.
During this period of ti, the results of Sharky’s actions that night manifested.
In just a short period of ti, Sharky beca even more famous, and news of his bravery spread throughout all of the Alexa Principality’s noble circles.
Who knew how many of the people there had spread news about Sharky’s actions that night.
Imdiately, Sharky’s reputation had beco even greater.
But just as his reputation increased, his brother’s reputation decreased, many people were shouting about Gary to hand over security duty and stepped down from the security managent position.
Since, the Assassins have already entered the City, and even an important party. His work has failed.
Gary has already perfected the Security departnt, now the upper people didn’t need his interference in the City, they were ready to sacrifice it.
They wanted to gain the massive profits from the Security departnt for themselves.
During that period of ti, Kelly had also co to visit Sharky and told him everything—he had found the identities of those assassins.
What was surprising was that those assassins did not co from the Alexa Principality but a famous assassin organization from a neighboring kingdom.
They had been hired to assassinate Kelly and others. But it was a lie.
In actuality, Sharky knew the truth.
It was evident that the person those assassins wanted to kill was that girl called Jasmine.
Even though Kelly had been on their hit list, he was not as important as Jasmine.
Looking at Kelly, Sharky understood but gave a faint smile as he said, "So why did those people co to assassinate you?"
"I don’t know," a dark look appeared on Kelly’s face, "Those assassins were not higher-ups, and they were just the ones responsible for killing and did not know anything. They didn’t even know who hired them. Moreover, they used various thods to all commit suicide."
Speaking there, his face beca ashen; he was evidently feeling terrible.
These people ca from an assassin organization and evidently did not co here just because they were bored. They had been hired.
However, now that they had died, they had lost their only lead, and it would be difficult to continue investigating.
If these people had co from the Alexa Principality, it would not be as big of a problem; with Kelly’s family’s strength, as long as they wanted to, they would be able to find so traces.
However, the ones who hired them had considered this.
Shadow’s Touch was an assassination organization from a foreign Kingdom and it kept absolute confidentiality. It was impossible for it to betray its client just because of Kelly’s family’s power.
As such, Kelly could only make guesses.
"How did they enter the city?" Sharky asked the second question.
"They have gotten help from the Royal family, but who, I don’t know," Kelly replied to Sharky before leaving with an ashen face.
Of course, before leaving, in order to thank Sharky for his help, he had brought many gifts. He had also discussed a few business ventures with extrely favorable terms for Sharky.
In response, Sharky did not accept anyone, because this ti he focused differently after hearing that the Assassin gets the help directly from the Royal family.
—
Within the palace in the Alexa Royal City.
Inside a beautiful hall, it was quite peaceful.
This was a very spacious area, and there were not many people around.
A woman sat at the center of the hall by herself, taking care of various matters.
A faint ray of golden sunlight shone through the window onto the woman’s body, making her figure and snow-white skin seem extrely alluring.
She did not look very old, perhaps 25 or 26 years old. She was extrely beautiful and wore a thin, short robe. Sitting there, she thought to herself.
At that mont, hurried footsteps sounded out from outside, accompanied by a big ruckus.
Parizaad frowned and looked at the person who had walked over and asked softly, "Jasmine tried to sneak out again?"
"Yes."
Not too far away, a servant half-knelt with a respectful look and said, "In the past half a month, this is the third ti."
"Hmph."
Parizaad coldly harrumphed, "She snuck out without my permission and was almost assassinated, and yet she still tries to sneak out. Has she grown tired of living?"
Hearing Parizaad’s words, the female servant half-knelt, not daring to say anything.
Parizaad rubbed her forehead and lightly sighed before saying wearily, "Tell , why has she been trying to sneak out so much? Also, tell about what happened that day."
"Yes."
The female servant nodded before talking about everything that had happened at the banquet.
As she listened, Parizaad suddenly frowned, "Wait. Are you sure that night it was Jasmine taking the initiative to invite soone to dance?"
"Yes."
The female servant nodded.
"And then that person happened to act and save Jasmine?" Parizaad slowly asked.
Hearing the female servant reply in the affirmative, Parizaad realized sothing.
"The cliché of a Knight saving a Princess."
She shook her head before thinking to herself.
This incident was quite the coincidence.
Jasmine was her little sister and also a Princess of the Alexa royal family. There were many, many people who had reasons to harm her.
It was just that as soon as Jasmine had slipped out, soone had co to assassinate her?
Was it a problem with Kelly?
Because there is not even a little bit of a problem in Gary’s security. But since he has not accepted to beco her underlings, there is ti to show him, without her, he was nothing.
Moreover, she had just so happened to be saved by that person; it was quite a coincidence.
Was this planned in advance?
At that mont, many thoughts ran through Parizaad’s mind.
Compared to Jasmine, she was much older and had seen many things.
Firstly, living in the royal family, she was instinctively suspicious of everything and doubted many things.
"What kind of person is Sharky?"
Following this, she began to ask about Sharky.
In response, the female servant began to give an outline of Sharky’s past.
From her information, Parizaad obtained a greater understanding of Sharky.
"He doesn’t sound bad at all."
Listening to the female servant describe Sharky’s past, Parizaad’s expression relaxed a bit and nodded, "He cos from a noble family from the southern side, and his family is not too powerful. But later, with his talent and hardwork, he beca Mr. Jason’s student and has good talent, and he has great hope in becoming a Knight..."
She thought to herself, "If there are no problems about him, he would be a good match for Jasmine."
As a Princess of the royal family, she was much younger than the others and she had Parizaad as a big sister.
This ant that she did not have much chance in fighting for the throne, so not many people would want to support her.
With Jasmine’s identity as a Princess, if she was married into so of the large noble families, it was easy for there to be problems.
As a Princess under the current circumstances, it was easy for others to take advantage of her and use her.
As such, from how Parizaad saw it, it would be best for Jasmine to marry a noble whose family was too far from the central and powerful so they could protect themselves.
A Knight from a small noble family in the south was simply perfect.
Of course, even though Parizaad felt that Sharky was quite good from the surface of things, she still had to think about it in detail.
"What is Knight Sharky like in other respects?"
She knocked on the table as she asked, "Does he have any personal problems? For example, a fiancée or sothing like that?"
Many noble families would arrange marriages for their successors while they were still young in order to gain the support of other families and strengthen themselves.
Moreover, with how chaotic noble circles were, there were often love children born from maids and whatnot.
Because of her mother’s influence, only Parizaad and Jasmine do not have any lovers, both of them still pure.
For the person that her little sister liked, she would not mind if he had had lovers in the past, but having a fiancée was unacceptable. Otherwise, things could get quite complicated in the future.
However, the answer she received made her feel quite surprised.
"You an to say that Knight Sharky has never had a woman before?"
Looking at her female servant, Parizaad looked quite surprised. She could not help but feel surprised.
"Although, I knew he has a maid nad Tina, but is there any relationship between them," Her female servant was also quite surprised but still nodded, "At the very least, there is no such information."
"How are Knight Sharky’s looks?" Parizaad asked out of confusion.
"I’m not sure," the female servant shook her head before saying, "But from the information I have, he seems to be quite a handso man."
"How can a handso man like that remain pure?" Parizaad frowned as a few bad thoughts appeared in her mind.
This fellow, could it be that there was sothing wrong with his body... or orientation?
However, after thinking about this, she eliminated the first possibility.
After all, since he was a Knight, it was unlikely that there would be sothing wrong with his body, especially given that he was still so young.
However, for his sexual orientation, that was indeed a possibility.
Parizaad thought for a mont to herself.
Even though she did not know much about it, she had heard of n who did not like won and only liked cute males.
She wondered if Knight Sharky was such a person.
After thinking of this possibility, she asked the female servant about this.
However, the answer was again quite surprising.
"Not even n?" Parizaad looked quite surprised and felt quite speechless.
Of course, she knew that for such secretive things, it was difficult to dig up information.
She rapped her knuckles on the table and said after a while, "Since it’s like this...he must have a relationship with his maid. Well, what can a maid do? Find an opportunity."
She looked at the female servant and said calmly, "Hold a banquet in my na and invite Kelly. Based on what I know, Sharky is good friends with Kelly, right?"
"Although there was so friendship, whether they were good friends or not, it was not known, but he was good friends with Kelly’s sister Selina. It is also because of Selina, he has attended the banquet," the female servant respectfully replied.
"Why is he not good friends with Kelly but with her sister Selina? And if he is good friends with Selina, it is possible that both of them have already crossed the line," Parizaad asked.
"Selina and Sharky both were the Mr. Jason students, so they have a good relationship. But he has not crossed the line with Selina, because when Selina proposed to him, he openly denied getting any love relationship with her. He just sees her as friends."
"And about his relationship with Kelly, it was all because of Selina. Sharky refused to enter any banquet, no matter who invited him. Kelly has also faced the sa situation many tis. This was the first ti Sharky had gone to the banquet."
"When the Assassin attacks on Princess Jasmine, he directly warns Kelly to find the Assassin’s identity and report to him. This is also the first ti that Knight Sharky shows he had anger issues," the Female servant respectfully replied.
"Very well." Parizaad nodded, "Tell Kelly to bring Sharky no matter what, even if he needs to take help from his sister. Then also notify Jasmine’s people about this," she said softly.
Thinking of the problems that Jasmine had caused recently, she felt a headache coming on, "Don’t let her make any more trouble."
It seed that the things Jasmine had done recently had made her big sister feel quite troubled.
With this news, hopefully she will be able to calm down her for a while.
