"I-" Alya was unable to say anything.
It was understandable.
For soone who had grown up in an advanced and developed society, this must be quite a shocker to her.
Especially so, when this was a town under the reign of her family.
She, who thought that the whole continent was developed and happy under the reign of Lancasters, was having a major revelation right now.
And this was good.
As soone who was going to be the future queen of the Kingdom, she needed to understand this.
There was no fully developed society where everyone was happy and rich.
There was always a dark and poverty stricken part of it.
Where there is light, there will always be a shadow cast by it.
The only rulers who reign successfully are the ones that are able to see both parts. The light and the shadow.
And this was what Alya was seeing right now.
She was 18. If there was ever a ti for her to see these cruel things, it was now.
Composing her shock, she looked at Amon and nodded.
"I understand." She clutched her things.
Amon was satisfied that his plan worked when he saw her new resolute eyes.
She was still a little conflicted but that would fade over ti.
As they explored the town further, they ca across a large wooden building.
Nino's Casino. A sign hanging by the roof said.
They both looked at it with intrigue.
He wasn't surprised that casinos existed in this world.
Amon had already co to terms with the fact that this world was a mix of dievalism and modernism.
Unfortunately, he wasn't much of a gambling person so he wasn't interested.
Well, he knew one person who was an addict at it.
His eyes moved to the corner where Alya stood, an excited look on her face.
Despite being a princess, due to her jolly and fun loving attitude, she often used to go to the big casinos in the capital city.
Most nobles used to go there and she was included with them.
Though there was an age limit of 18 and 21 in his past world, this world was quite lenient in its rules and laws.
Just the legalization of slave trading was enough to give an idea to a person.
As Alya was about to say sothing, both of their watches vibrated with a ping.
It was probably the mission notice.
He quickly opened up his watch to see.
And there it was.
Team: Amon Ashford: Alya Von Lancaster
Mission: Assassinate the Head of Nino Casinos.
Amon stifled a chuckle.
'Welp, there goes her excitent...'
Jokes aside, the mission notification was very compact.
There were no specific thods or details that would make it overwhelming.
However, just the first word spoke miles about how cruel the academy was. They needed to kill.
And not just a monster, but an actual human being.
He needed to remind himself again of how cruel this world could be.
Fortunately, it wasn't much of a problem for both of them.
Amon had already gotten used to killing humans. It wasn't much of a problem for him as long as the reason was enough for them to earn it.
He looked at Alya, who had a disappointed look on her face.
She was probably lanting over the fact that she couldn't gamble rather than killing the
head.
For a royal princess that had to take the throne one day, the Imperiac made sure that she wouldn't hesitate in killing.
They made her kill captured criminals in the royal prison countless tis as a kid.
So many tis that she had probably grown numb to killing them now.
The Imperiac was ruthless through and through.
Amon sighed.
"When are we going to do this mission then?" He asked Alya.
Alya turned to look at him, surprised.
"You don't have a problem with killing soone?" She asked.
Amon shook his head.
"Well, my parents work as high ranking prison guards in the capital, so I had to kill criminals
many tis." He explained.
"Oh...I see." She nodded.
He had bullshitted all that.
But he never knew about his background as he never had the ti to investigate.
And he doubted Alya ever had the ti to investigate a random boy's background as well.
But considering the expensive clothes he wore, and his sister's high ranking, she would surely
buy his bluff.
And she did.
Thankfully.
"How about at night?" she asked.
Amon nodded.
"Sure, we should scout the location and investigate the target first."
Alya nodded back.
There was a small attachnt file with the mission notification.
It had all the data records of the target they were supposed to kill.
Apparently, his na was Nino Sherman.
He was a burly man in his mid thirties with shaggy brown hair and dirty brown eyes to match
them.
Nino was also a 3rd order Earth Clovist.
He managed his gambling den all day long before going to a prostitution center at night.
He would stay there from 11PM to 2AM before coming back ho to sleep.
"What do you think we should do?" Alya asked.
"We should hunt him down at the prostitution club."
Alya raised her brows.
"Not at ho?"
Amon shook his head.
"As soone who owns a large gambling den, he would also certainly be rich enough to hire so guards at his ho. This would just make our job more difficult and we have a higher
risk of getting caught."
He explained.
Pondering on it, Alya subtly nodded.
"That's true. There's also the fact that his guard would be lowered at the prostitution center because he would be enveloped in pleasure." She pointed out.
Amon nodded.
"Yeah, exactly."
It was a little weird to see her talk about 'that' so easily but he ignored it. "While yes, the guards would also be at the prostitution center, but we have a much better chance there considering that they are quite low ranked." He explained.
The prostitution center he went to wasn't a large one so the security was pretty weak.
It didn't have to do with the fact that he couldn't or didn't want to go to a bigger one.
It was because the center he went to was the best the town had to offer.
Alya bobbed her head up and down, agreeing with him.
"Alright, let's go with this. Let's scout the location first." She slamd her first on her palm.
She had a bright and excited smile on her face.
Alya was showing her true self to Amon right now.
The latter nodded.
"Sure, let's go."
