"Nice to meet you. My name is Elizabeth. It's nice to meet you, isn't it?

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

"Yes. Yes. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Elizabeth. My name is Zion Thrace.

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

I've heard about you. And, of course, who you are. You're sure he's one of the assassins lurking in the shadows?

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

Yes, that's right. Yes, that's right. I am the head of the Thracian clan. I'm the head of the Thracian clan.

　I was contacted by a woman who had already been in your home, Mr. Alphonse.

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

　Theon Thrace.

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

　A beautiful woman.

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

　I have heard rumors that in the city of his estate, Mr. Alphonse has a collection of former high-class prostitutes and women called "Barca Palace".

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

　I don't get that impression from talking to Mr. Alphonse face to face.

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

　But she is not just a pretty face.

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

　I can feel it.

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

　A different kind of presence.

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

　There was one in our family.

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

　People who don't become nobles or knights, but work in the shadows, behind the scenes.

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

　I could smell it in her.

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

　So I looked into it and found out that she was also an assassin.

　The Thracians, you say?

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

　I have never heard of them in Brillia, but there is a family that lurks in the forest near here in the Orient, and you are the chief of it.

"So, Miss Elizabeth. You have something to say to me, don't you?"

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

"Yes. Let me be frank. Mr. Alphonse, or the Orient will become more and more dangerous. This is because I believe that the Brilliant Mage Kingdom will be involved in connection with magical tools and magic circle.

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

"Brillia is the home of magic. Do you think that this conflict of interest might lead them to attack the Orient?

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

No, that's not necessary. If they attack us openly, it would be easier to understand. What I fear is assassination. If the original magic spells are deciphered and used in the Orient, the nobles of Briaria will try to prevent it at any cost. It is not unusual for them to resort to assassination at that time.

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

"Yes, that's right. It is the surest and quickest way to solve the problem. Assassination.

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

　Mr. Zion agrees with me.

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

　I thought that there was a possibility that Mr. Alphonse might have underestimated the importance of the project.

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

　Therefore, I will have to make the most of the presence of the shadowy Mr. Theon in this house on his behalf.

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

　I have not known her until now, but I know that she has earned a certain level of trust from Mr. Alphonse.

　Assassination is something that even a high ranking nobleman should be aware of.

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

　Or rather, there is no nobleman who is not wary of assassination.

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

　Because assassination is much more troublesome for nobles who are stronger than others and less likely to be injured when they go into battle.

　A fierce man who never loses in the battlefield suddenly loses his life one day.

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

　We have heard such stories repeatedly.

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

　No matter how high ranking noblemen with magical power are, they are vulnerable when they are attacked at an unguarded moment.

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

　Such as when passing each other on the street, when going to the bathroom, when going to the bathroom, when going to the bathroom, or when eating.

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

　There are many times in a person's normal life when he or she can aim for his or her life.

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

　And there are experts everywhere who skillfully target them, and they are always and forever on the move to do their job.

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

　The decipherment of the magic circle may unleash assassins from the nobility of the Brillian mage state.

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

　Instead of fighting on the battlefield as you would like, Mr. Alphonse, you will be followed all the time by a quiet and insidious means of attack.

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

　It will be very difficult to shake them off.

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

　It is too difficult for a normal person to remain vigilant against the never-ending attacks.

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

　That is why it is necessary to turn to those who are capable of the same task to deal with them.

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

　And who better than Mr. Zion?

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

　I hear that he is based in the forest next to the Orient, and I am sure that he has people not only in this country but also in the surrounding areas.

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

"This is a request from me, your fiancée, Alphonse. Will you protect him?　As a shadow in the service of this country, will you accept my request?"

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

"......Of course, I would say, but it depends on the reward, Lady Elizabeth. We do our job when we are paid. We will not accept your offer unless we are paid accordingly.

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

"If you accept my request, I will grant it to you."

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

"What?　Admit it, sir?"

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

Yes. The reason why Mr. Zion is in this house. Of course, that's what you want, isn't it?　And to make that happen, don't tell me you don't have something to do with me being engaged to him."

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

"Okay. I accept, Lady Elizabeth. My Thracian clan will guard Master Alphonse's person with all our strength."

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

　There is only one reason for a woman to enter a man's house.

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

　And when it is a man whom she considers to be a promising man, it is obvious what she wants.

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

　But now that I am her fiancée, I will not allow her to do anything she does without my permission.

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

　But if I am to protect him as a shadow, I can make some concessions.

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

　It seems that Mr. Zion understood what I meant and made a quick decision.

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

　That's good.

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

　Now that our interests are aligned, I will tell Sebas to inform her of the Vandenburgs' information on the assassin.

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

　I am still concerned about the skill of the Thracian family, but for the time being, we should be able to strengthen our vigilance.

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

　Are there any other women around Mr. Alphonse?

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

　We may need to do a thorough search of their friendships.

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

　With this in mind, I gave instructions to gather more information.
