June. The truce had expired, and it was just about time to invade King Rosais' country.

　It happened.


　'Gaggaaaaah!'
　'My King, my King!

　King Domorgal held his heart and collapsed.
　Soon all the sorcerers in the palace gathered to begin the healing process.

　But in spite of their best efforts, King Domorgal died.
　Without naming the next king...







　The capital of King Domorgal's country. The mansion of Aldo Domorgal.

　There was a boy of about fifteen years old and a woman of about twenty years old.

　The boy could tell from the luxurious clothes he was wearing that he was of a fairly high status. That's natural.
　That's because he is the owner of this room, Aldo Domorgal himself.

　The woman, on the other hand, was dressed very poorly. Her beautiful blonde hair indicates that she is Germanic.
　And she had a good amount of fat stored in her chest.
　When Almus looked at her, he said, "This is a heavy cruiser... or maybe a battleship class. It's not a dreadnought class, but......maybe Mikasa.

　But the thing that undermines them is the face.
　It's not that she is ugly. In fact, it could be said that she is very well-groomed in appearance.

　That's why the bruises are so obvious.
　And the most painful thing is the shackles and the collar attached to the neck.
　The chain that extended from the collar was in Aldo's hands.

　Aldo exclaims.
　''Ah!　My father is dead!　How delightful it was not........ How sad!　Now what do we do?
　I don't know if I'm the right person to ask.
　'Shut up!　You're a cocky spider in the habit of being a spider!

　Aldo kicked the slave in the face.
　He kicked her in the stomach again and again, and punched her in the face as she got on her horse.

　As the slave was being punched........Alice thought.

　(Holy shit, I'll have to put up with this for about five minutes.)

　After exactly five minutes or so, Aldo pulled away from Alice, as if he had been hit.

　'Hey, Alice. Go kill Pax.
　It's also ... novel.

　Aldo, who suddenly orders the assassination of an important person, is also Aldo, but Alice is also Alice, who does not refuse the order.
　They look good, as if the assassination were a casual picnic.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.　If you kill Prince Pax under these circumstances, you're the one in all likelihood.
　'Under the circumstances, the next king is Pax. The least amount of trouble is seniority, and the commander-in-chief of the Rosais offensive that was supposed to take place this time is a unique guy. And I want to be king. It would be better for the country to kill Pax now than to kill him after days of civil war.

　Alice rolled her eyes at that statement as well as the quintessential one.
　Aldo grinned.

　''And then what?''
　"I'll kill all the hostile forces in King's Landing now. "I'll kill all the hostile forces in King's Landing right now, using my own private army. You can do it if we succeed in taking them by surprise. You can assassinate the families with the largest private army in the capital. If you lose their heads, their command structure will be paralyzed.
　...I see.

　Alice sighs.
　In the end, she is the one who takes the brunt of the danger.

　'By the way, is Prince Carlo good?'
　'He's holed up in the mountains a long way from here. We can't kill him at the same time as Pax. I'll send someone else to kill him. No matter how hard I try, I can't order you to do the impossible. I'm a good host.

　Good masters don't beat their slaves to a pulp in the first place.
　For the most part, Alice thought, you've always asked me to do the near-impossible, but I didn't say it.
　'I'm used to being beaten, but I'd rather not be beaten.

　'What about the remaining Pax and Carlo factions?　I don't think you'll obey me honestly.
　You comply, you're forgiven. If you don't, you will be executed. Most of the great lords and ladies will only comply if they can secure their domains.

　At least it seems to work if you just listen to what they have to say.
　The key to the operation is for Alice to assassinate Pax and a powerful, powerful family with a large private army but I'm confident that Alice will be able to pull it off.

　In the middle of the night, she can do it for sure.

　But what will she do after that?　Aldo has no cause, and he will be left with nothing but notoriety.

　Assassination is not difficult if you only consider success.
　The problem is that the culprit can be easily predicted if you consider who benefited from that person's death.

　It would still be good for the public if it was a fair fight to defeat them, but solving the problem by cowardly means would be an ugly affair.
　This will cause serious damage in the future.

　Therefore, assassination is the last resort when no other method is possible.

　King Domorgal had only Carlo, Pax and Aldo as children, but there were many others who were related to him by blood.

　It's quite possible that they will try to carry another royal family instead of Aldo, the brother killer.
　As Aldo confidently says, what the great families are looking for in a king is relief from the realm.

　I'm sure there are many of them who think that the blade of the man who killed their brother will not extend to them.
　The mikoshi you carry should be light and par for the course.

　Aldo works his wits poorly and is too heavy to carry.

　(Well, what does it matter to me...?)

　Aldo doesn't listen to them anyway.
　He wouldn't listen to the advice of his own grandparents, so there was no way he would listen to Alice's advice.
　The spider-woman would be told not to get carried away, and she would be beaten up.

　'Do you understand?　We're going to go in a week. Until then, you should be ready to go. I'll be ready to go, too.
　Yes.

　Alice nodded quietly.






　A week later, late at night.
　Alice was on the roof of a house near Prince Pax's mansion.

　About twenty meters away, you can see Prince Pax's mansion.

　''Well, let's go........''

　Alice holds her arms out in front of her and aims at the roof of Prince Pax's mansion.

　Bysshoo.

　While making such a dumb sound, the thread (...) that erupted from Alice's fingers hit the roof of Prince Pax's mansion.
　The thread is about an inch thick.

　Alice rubs the thread from her fingertips against her own feet and holds the thread in place.
　This completes the bridge, which is about an inch long.

　Alice jumped onto it without a care in the world.
　She dexterously balanced herself on the string.

　In the blink of an eye, she landed on the roof.

　''Well Prince Pax's room was the third room from the right on the second floor.......''
　Prince Pax's mansion is three stories high, so he has to go down one floor.

　Alice places her hand on the roof. She creates a sticky thread from her palm and slowly makes her way down.

　In no time at all, she reached the balcony.

　Naturally, the door is locked, as it should be. It's to deal with miscreants like Alice.

　The keyhole doesn't exist. This is because although it is assumed that you will go out to the balcony, it is not assumed that you will enter from the balcony.
　A locksmith can open it, so it is not installed.

　It's an ironclad guard. Except for Alice.

　''It's a pain in the ass.''

　Alice lets the threads wrap around her fingers. The threads, as strong as steel, gather together to form a cone-like object.

　'Torija,'

　whistling sound

　With a bit of a loud bang, Alice's fingers pierced the wooden door.
　It was quite a loud sound, so Prince Pax, who was sleeping, starts to wake up.

　''Hmm?　What?　

　The thread stretched from Alice's fingertips and hung around Pax's neck.
　Alice tugged at the thread and tightened it around Pax's neck.

　For a while, Pax was scratching his neck and scratching his algae, but he soon stopped moving.

　'Well, we'd better get back. We can't let them find us. ........Well, I'm not going to get caught if they find me.

　I'm going to get beaten up when I get home.
　I don't want it to hurt.

　It would be easy for Alice's ability to kill Aldo and escape, but Alice is imprinted in such a way that she can't go against Aldo.


　Suddenly, Alice heard a clamor in her ears. When I looked towards the one I could hear, there was a fire in the air.
　It seems that Aldo has taken action.

　If he doesn't join in quickly, he's told that he's been slacking off and will be beaten up.

　Alice hurried towards the bustle.








　Carlo was under house arrest in the mountains a short distance from the capital city to show his remorse for the last war.
　But his life was comfortable itself.

　After all, Carlo's family owns the villa where he is staying.
　It's very comfortable.

　Carlo read and flirted with his female slaves, hunted and flirted with his female slaves, read poetry and flirted with his female slaves.

　By the way, Carlo has a fiancée.
　The relationship is good.

　That day, Carlo was in the city at the foot of the mountain.
　It's a town, but it's only a hair's breadth away from the village.

　The reason is that the female slaves insisted that they wanted to play outside occasionally.
　Carlo, too, had grown tired of the greenery, so he hid his identity and played in the city and slept in the city's inn that night.

　Carlo was tired of playing and had left for the dream world when he was woken up by a soldier who secretly followed him in worry.

　'My God!　Master Carlo. There's been a political upheaval in King's Landing!　Prince Aldo has killed Prince Pax. Already the mountain villa has been attacked by Prince Pax's soldiers!　The soldiers are fighting now, and I don't know if Master Carlo is here but you need to get away quickly!　The carriage has been easily arranged!
　'Yes!　Why ... no, we'll get the details later. We're getting out of here now!

　Carlo beat the female slave up in a hurry and left the city.
　Thus, by chance, Carlo escaped from Aldo's hands.
