In the royal capital, the size of a noble’s residence changed depending on where they fell in the hierarchy. The more powerful a noble, the closer their home was to the castle. The mansion in front of the castle, for example, belonged to the duke. Those nobles who lacked power, however, had their houses on the outskirts of the capital.

I was visiting one of those residences in the outskirts. It wasn’t an official visit, so I’d asked Euracia to help because of her special ability that let her move along walls using mana. Using that power, we crept into the office of that house.

“What are you planning to do here?”

“To settle things.”

Euracia shook her head in dismay before vanishing out the window. She’d seen too much of the corrupt side of Runan recently and had an expression on her face that looked like she was fed up with everything.

Jint stood behind me quietly.

He’s a reliable bodyguard.

After waiting for some time, someone entered the office. The room lit up as they came in. The only people who could enter a countess’s office were the maid who cleaned it or the lady herself.

And cleaning was done during the day.

Naturally, only the countess herself entered at night.

“Who’s there?!” Heina shouted, immediately attacking Jint.

Jint instantly forced her to her knees and put a gag into her mouth. His speed increased continually as his Martial rose. At the rate he was growing, he’d outstrip the Swiftblade who gave me trouble in Brijit soon enough.

“It’s been a while, Your Excellency,” I said, earning a glare from Heina.

Frankly, I was being pretty tolerant, all things considered. She tried to have me killed. Normally, I’d have gone further than this.

“This simply won’t do. This whole business of you sending assassins to kill me and all that.”

I couldn’t raise a ruckus, so I whispered those words in her ear. Her features twisted with indignation.

I have no idea where she gets off being angry at me in this situation.

“I am not here to ask, ‘Why did you do it?!’ or any other such nonsense, Your Excellency.”

Yeah. I wasn’t here to confirm what I already knew. Of course, with a gag in her mouth, she couldn’t answer my questions.

“You must have looked into my accomplishment more than anyone. The battles in Rozern and the ruin of Brijit. You investigated all of that, didn’t you? So you must have known I wouldn’t go down to mere assassins. Looking at their ledger, you promised them an outrageous sum. Although, I’m sure you never intended to pay it.”

Heina twisted around, a look of surprise on her face.

“You have the intelligence to have worked as advisor to the army. I would like to credit you for that much, at least.”

Heina was struggling to say something, but I didn’t intend to listen to obvious falsehoods, so the gag stayed right where it was.

“You were aware that Ronan’s name was at the top of the ledger. Your true aim was to create enmity between the duke and myself.
