A bit sad I was with what I had done. Killing is never easy. More so for children who I could have saved by just manipulating their mories.
But with limited ti as well as options, I forgo such lousy attempts at saving such lost kids, their future was filled with misery anyway, so killing them was not wrong in my books.
Well, who am I kidding, it still felt a tad bit bad.
This life was never going to be easy, nor would this mission be as easy as one might think. "This disgusting city still remains the sa."
The magic shield as well as the missiles that exploded on it had sent shivers down the spine of this city, barely anyone was out besides so soldiers who road the streets from ti to ti.
"Hah, so much potential for chaos at this mont." With my new body, the amount of carnage I can cause in this city is imnse. But I can’t go wild so early, I need to make sure that stupid price is dead before doing anything.
’The fight happened in the institute, but being a prince he obviously won’t stay here.’
’Neither will he stay in the small military office in the city, it’s not as lavish.’
’Would it be a hospital? Definitely not, he is a Prince, he won’t go to a hospital.’
’Then a noble’s house perhaps? Yes, there is a high chance that might be the case.’
’But it won’t be a simple Noble, soone who follows him, soone who can protect him during such dangerous tis.’
With a bit of brainstorming, I ca to a simple conclusion, making the scope of the search much shorter.
However, there was an issue I noticed which was not present in the city half a decade ago. "My oh my, so many rat traps and entire formations?" I wonder what happened to chance such a change in the city.
But no need to worry, this itself is proof that whoever put such traps in their compound, had sothing to hide.
"Hmm. Fascinating." However it was not these new forbidden zones that attracted , but sothing entirely else. "Who do we have here?" In a familiar place, I found a figure that appeared a bit odd to .
From the eyes of the rat, I can see how sneaky this individual’s movents were. Not to ntion that talent of hers. ’A false body creation?’
What bloodline it was, I can only imagine how useful it can be if used properly. Whatever the case was, this individual earned so interest in , but my eyes didn’t remain on her. Instead, the rats followed the false body that she created, walking along the streets and coming across a small butcher’s shop. "Hmm?" A butcher’s shop that gave a hint of closeness.
"Ah, a follower of mine?" For soone of my rank, although it was harder to detect the faith of an individual easily. But when a high density of them was present in a singular location, it was much easier for to do such a thing.
aning only one thing. ’Ah, the rebels have infiltrated the city this deeply?’
I felt proud for a bit, followed by so curiosity over what this woman had planned.
"Everyone, I have good news." She said, taking out what appeared as a small piece of paper. "I have obtained the map to so of the precious facilities of the military..."
"Finally... this is what we all have been waiting for." Spoke a one-ard man, who was still covered in bandages.
"The ti is good as well, the dirty forces of Cynark had been focused on Yethel, all we need to do is support the army of Yethel from our side and the chaos will probably bring down Cynark’s Hegemony in this war."
"I say to use this map to steal all their weapons and blow up the houses of so nobles." Ideas driven by emotions spread among the suicidal soldiers who had little left for them at ho.
They were driven insane by their tragedies, by tortures, by the hunger brought forth by their status.
The only thing that remained in their mind was the death of their enemies.
’Now these are perfect fanatics.’ Though their belief in was not that strong considering I was still new to this whole totem thing, it didn’t an they were completely worthless. ’A perfect force that can be influenced right under my nose. But using them now is the sa as sending them to their death.’
I need to warn them to not act at the mont. They might think the war is at its peak, but in truth, the war hasn’t even started properly.
The preemptive strike was the only ti that most damage was done to Cynark’s side. And in truth, their military forces were not hit as hard as they might think.
Cynarks strength was their population, they never lacked people to die for their country. So even if these rebels can create a bit of distraction, that’s all their action would amount to, a temporary distraction.
It’s why I moved, ignoring the clone that the woman had created, I climbed over the familiar building and then knocked on the window.
"Huh?" Startled, I could see her putting her arm over her revolver before she appeared surprised to find a monkey on the window. "Where did you co from?" She wondered, looking at with so curiosity before stealthily taking a knife off a table and then getting close to the window.
Her intentions are clear, she intends to kill for so reason.
"I would have preferred if you used the gun," I said, startling her into falling back on that familiar bed.
"You... who are you?" She appeared scared. It would seem as if all life had left her face, it’s how pale with fright she had turned from simple words of mine. "Don’t fret, I am not here to harm you," I spoke, slowly opening the window and then crawling into the room.
But the woman didn’t seem to believe , she suddenly lunged at with her feeble figure, which I easily dodged. "If not for the aura you exuded, I wouldn’t have believed you were an Adept Knight," I said, looking at this Clumsy woman who hit her head on the wall before looking at with fearful eyes.
"Don’t try anything stupid and listen." It would be hard to make soone in her situation trust , though it’s not like I intended to expose my true identity to earn her trust, she wasn’t worth it. "I am here to assassinate the Prince of Cynark, I wonder if you can help a bit." My words sounded absurd in her ears, anyone in her position would think as such.
So fools might even think I was speaking such words to fool them into giving away their trust, "Don’t be a fool and answer if you can help or not?’
I asked her who appeared mute for a second, before finally asking. "How do you know I can help." Her main question was, did I know who she was?
Well, truth be told, since entering the room, I had beco aware of whom this woman was. "One of the rebels, are you not? Just help and I can get rid of one of your enemies."
But there was no need to expose soone who was so intent on keeping her secret, nor would it change things much.
And after a bit of effort on my end, earning a bit of trust between us, she finally asked. "Which Prince are you going to kill?"
"Any would have sufficed, but I heard among my circles that one of the Prince was injured yesterday... And with war over our heads, I thought this was a good opportunity for to act.
A reasonable excuse is needed when dealing with fools of her level. And that’s what I did, appearing as a revenge-driven killer who had been waiting in the underbelly of Durum for ages.
"A... are you from Dorian Street?"
"You can say I was from there, currently I am not employed by anyone... this is just a personal vendetta of mine."
"So girl, just tell the location, where that bastard is hidden, and tomorrow, you will hear sweet news... how about it?"
"Well..." After much contemplation, the girl finally spoke so words. "Last I saw the prince, he was taken by the Mayor’s n."
"Oh, that old crone is daring to keep such a hot potato in his hand, does he not know?" I wondered before shaking my head.
The old mayor was a total fool who only got his seat due to his background. Lacking any real talent for managing a territory. If there was one thing that he was good at, it would be his people-pleasing talent.
"Thanks for the help lady," I say, before disappearing from her sight.
