"Thracian family?　Heh. I didn't know shadows had names like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In front of me sits Alphonse Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A room in our house on the top floor of the sacred tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I welcome the boy and arrange a meeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Thank you for granting my family's wish. My name is Theon, head of the Thracian clan.

"Oh, isn't that man the chief here?　He was a pretty good user, I thought he was the one."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean my brother?　My brother is a chief, too, you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　You mean there are two of you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. In Thrace there are always two chiefs. In our time, my siblings and I are in charge of this place.

　Theon talks with Alphonse Barca.

　Meanwhile I was holding my chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... are you okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently there's nothing wrong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I surrender to Alphonse Barca and am forced to perform a mysterious ritual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a ritual using a red pearl. It's supposed to make people keep their vows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, it is the same as the one used in the church of Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I surrendered, I was ordered not to attack Alphonse Barca and others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even though I swore to do so and gave my blood to the pearl, I did not know if it was really worth it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or perhaps it would be more correct to say that I did not know what effect it would have on me, since it seemed that more blood than I had given out had been fed into my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I tried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After saying a few words, I tried to attack Alphonse Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, it became clear to me that I could not do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A pain went through his chest as if his heart had been seized, and he had difficulty breathing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see, so this is what happens.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This will certainly make it difficult to break an oath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I suppose that the reason why they stopped fighting after our proposal to send assassins after their lives is so that they can perform this ritual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, for the time being, it is clear that we cannot attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have tried this in front of many clans, so they should already know what is going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what the clansmen think of my surrendering to the sudden attacker in this forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even so, I do not regret my decision to surrender.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because I was able to save the lives of those who had fallen to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many of those who went to intercept the intruders to stop them were attacked by the woman's magic gun weapon and were wounded so badly that they could not move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were quickly patched up and all of them recovered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was probably a good thing that Alphonse Barca replenished the lost blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that he has the power to manipulate blood differently from our family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A boy who can replenish lost blood in his body and create blood mists and black butterflies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His power is comparable to that of the fighters of his family, and he is capable of competing even with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And above all, he is a man who has a large number of mercenaries waiting outside this forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The negotiations that followed needed to be successful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So it was my sister Zion who had to talk to him instead of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is still a man, albeit a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He might risk failure in negotiations in front of a beautiful woman like Theon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's hope that Theon will make the talks as advantageous as possible.

"At ......, our Thracian clan will not attack you from now on. On this condition, you will not ask us for sending the two assassins?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. That's fine. The assassin's attack wasn't that bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"They were two of the best disguisers in the forest. I am very surprised that you survived.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We have the Eye. No matter how good you are at mimicry, I think it would be difficult to assassinate you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Ai, is it? I'm sorry, which of the two women's names is that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ai is Ai. We both have the same aye."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Yes, that's right. I don't know, but I understand. Anyway, I guess that means we have been defeated by Ai's power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what ...... child is talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if those two beautiful women are both named Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even twins would have different names, so what does it mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Zion did not understand the meaning either, but he took it as such and continued the conversation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, I forgive you for trying to kill me. I'm not going to forgive the people who asked me to do it. If possible, I'd like to have the names of the people who asked you to do this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We can't do that. The request form was destroyed when we received the request. We have nothing left to show you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?　Well, it can't be helped. I'm still going to retaliate, though."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It may be strange for me to ask this, but do you have any idea who has been trying to kill you?　Retaliation against those who have nothing to do with the situation will be disastrous. A negative cycle of retaliation could ensue."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's okay. We'll figure it out. But you're right. Then how about this?　I'll give you the names of the people we know, and you, the shadows, can eliminate them.　We'll pay them, and if they don't have anything to do with it, they don't have to do it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We will, sir?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, yes. How about a request from me?　But if you don't, I don't care. The Barka mercenaries will just move on."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... understand. If you can pay me, I will accept."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, come on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Are you crazy, my sister?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A shadowy figure has been sent to kill Alphonse Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And now Alphonse Valka, the one whose life was threatened, asks the shadow to kill him again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a case never heard of before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, he would not accept such a request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, there was no such a request because the Thracian family had never failed in their attempts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seems that the sister intends to accept the request of Alphonse Barca, while keeping the rule of not telling the name of the client to others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She looked at me as she replied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered what I should do, since it is necessary to listen to the other chief's opinion when he is present.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was a little worried, but showed a gesture of tapping the divination tool that Zion had in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps he knew this by divination before the meeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is better to accept Alphonse Barca's request here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That must be the result of the fortune-telling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then there is no problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Theon always puts his family's interests first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure it won't be a bad thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so, we have received a request from Alphonse Barca, and have set our sights on the life of a major figure in the Orient.
