Step by step

“What do you think of the agents you saw last time?”

“The lack of expression seemed a bit creepy.”

“But wasn’t she okay?”

“That’s right. Should I play with it on a non-work day?”

New guards approach us while we hide. These are guys I’ve encountered a few times while working.

I looked at Janey, who was hiding next to me. His face is as cold as usual, but his eyebrows are slightly distorted, making him look clearly displeased.

I didn’t really want to hear any more of their chatter, so I quickly put the two guys aside.

I hid two additional lumps of fertilizer in the garden and spoke to Janey.

“Now is the real start.”

“Yes… I was prepared.”

Her blue eyes never wavered as she cleared away the guards. Since I used my abilities to a minimum, I didn’t feel any physical strain.

All the little things on the outskirts have been cleaned up. Now, all that remains are the guards blocking the main gate of the castle and the troops inside.

From here, the positions of the guards are often within sight of each other. It would be impossible to handle everything without being detected.

He hid behind a pillar and peeked his head out. You can see the guards standing upright at the front gate.

“……Now!”

At my signal, Janey created a strong whirlwind. A wind of different power than the one used while distributing stamina blows.

Hehehe

“Cough! Cough! Suddenly what!”

“Sigh…!”

“My eyes are sore!”

I finish it quickly before the commotion outside causes me to notice anything strange inside.

As soon as Janey used her supernatural ability, I rushed over and before I knew it, I was right next to them. Only the main gate guard took the long sword he was wearing from his waist.

Grumble

“Cough! Huh…?”

The man notices the feeling of his back becoming empty and turns his head to look this way.

He swung his sword before he could open his mouth. The blade that sliced through the neck left only silver moonlight in its path.

fluffy

The head floating in the air still had a puzzled expression on it.

Another enemy standing right next to me looks shocked. Through high-speed thinking, his dilated pupils and quivering eyelids come to mind.

“Kaaa…!”

He stabbed his arm towards his waist, impeding his movement. As he pulled out his sword diagonally, he raised his head and cut it off.

It is a serious injury that could cause death on its own if left alone. I turned my back and looked at the two remaining enemies.

The guys looking this way clearly looked embarrassed. It was worth it because the guy wearing the black poncho that came out of nowhere killed his colleague in an instant.

“Die! Wow…!”

Janey appeared behind the enemy, who took out a pistol and was about to shoot. Just like I did, cut off the arm muscles and stick the knife into the back of the neck.

“Oh… don’t come…!”

The lone guy takes a step back and takes out a whistle. As if he was thinking of calling a colleague, he threw the knife into the uvula of the man who was gasping for air.

“Huh… Ugh…!”

The guy collapsed to the ground, leaving behind a fatal wound.

He quietly approached the door and put his ear to his ear.

“……”

Fortunately, I didn’t notice anything from inside, so I didn’t feel anything. Still, if you confidently open the door and enter, it will immediately turn into a beehive.

Our target is not here, but the window of the room you can see when you look up from the front door.

Bedroom located on the 3rd floor, towards the front door. This is the king’s bedroom.

Although he lost the war and handed over a lot of power to the parliament and prime minister, he still puts his final stamp on the affairs of this country.

I put my hands on Janey’s thighs and used them as footrests. She safely climbs up, holding on to the irregularities of the building.

I also climbed up the wall like I was rock climbing and reached the third floor window.

A locked window with curtains drawn.

Once you enter here, it is a race against time.

nod

I exchanged glances with Janey for a moment. Then, I blocked out as much light as possible with a poncho and raised my eyebrows to break the window lock.

We carefully entered inside and approached the bed next to the window.

‘Now I just have to kill this and it’s over.’

flutter

“……!”

I grabbed a knife and lifted the blanket, but strangely, there was no one lying on the bed.

Suddenly an ominous thought occurred to me.

“Get down!”

“Aaaah!”

Doo doo doo doo doo

Clink

A barrage of bullets pouring in from beyond the wall. The objects in the room made a ‘pop!’ sound. It explodes with a sound.

I thought about covering Janey, who had fallen to the floor, with my body.

‘Is it a trap? How did know?’

While I was shaking my head like that, the person who had fired all the bullets started talking to me.

“Is he still alive! Minho Moralis!”

‘Damn, was it Anaclete?’

The voice heard from outside was Baron Anaclete Irving.

“The attempt to assassinate His Majesty the King has failed! Hehehe… how do you feel? Prime Minister. Was I right?”

“Hmm… I see. I never thought there would be a traitor among the agents…”

‘Prime Minister?’

If there is a Prime Minister, it is not a waste of money. It is a position that plays a major role in running the government. Maybe he currently has more power than the king.

Maybe it can be resolved into a better situation than just targeting the king’s head.

Judging from the barrage of fire being fired at us, there were about a dozen of their troops. If there’s just a moment of slack, you can cut off his head.

“How did you know we were targeting the king?”

First, I spoke with the intention of getting information.

“What else could they do that would make me faint in the palace!”

“Stun? What kind of bullshit is this?”

“Profit…! They surprised me while I was standing guard and knocked me out! Planning this terrible plot!”

For a moment, I wondered what Anaclet was talking about.

He said he was sleepy so he passed out?

I ignored him, who was suddenly making strange noises as if he was suffering from dementia, and asked Janey.

“Has the location of the people outside been determined?”

“Yes. It’s all over.”

Thanks to the kind opening of a hole in the wall, Janey was able to find out the locations of all the enemies.

“Let’s go.”

It’s time to clearly tell who is in crisis.

***

‘I almost got into big trouble…’

Anaclet wiped the cold sweat running down her cheek with her sleeve.

I tried to close my eyes for a moment, but what was the point of being discovered by the patrolling guards?

While looking around for Minho and Janey, he realized that the two had disappeared and posted a false report.

‘The agents overpowered the person who was faithfully doing his work and disappeared somewhere in the royal palace. ‘I am concerned for His Majesty’s safety.’

Even if it is not true, it is clear that they left their workplace. He thought he could get over this incident with a proper warning.

Agents are expendable anyway. It is impossible to compare him to himself, a noble nobleman. If you can bury your mistakes, you can throw away those dolls again and again.

But likewise, when missing security personnel turned up and murdered bodies were found in the bushes, he internally rejoiced.

In the first place, the two agents were assigned by superiors. The only mistake you made was trusting them and being completely vigilant. So, posting a report like this should actually be rewarded.

Anaclet thought so.

After dismissing what Minho had just said was bullshit, he spoke to the prime minister next to him.

‘There must not be even one story about me sleeping!’

“They are extremely dangerous and must be killed immediately……”

The moment he continued speaking, return fire came from beyond the wall.

Tang tata soup

“Wow!”

“Ugh…!”

In an instant, more than half of the troops are shot and fall down. All of them lost their lives with bullets lodged precisely in their chests and heads.

“What on earth is this…!”

Both the Prime Minister and Anaclet felt fear at the sudden devastation. The troops who are supposed to protect them fall like scarecrows?

Degurrr

Something escaped through a crack in the door and rolled next to them as they were shocked. It was a grenade.

Bang~

“Ouch……”

The Prime Minister, who had lost consciousness for a moment, came to his senses by shaking his head.

A hallway full of stone dust. Under the flickering lights, as if there was a problem with the wiring, I could see Anaclet with half of her face blown off.

There were no more living troops. He crawled on the ground to get away from this terrible sight.

In front of him, wriggling like an insect, a man’s leg blocked the road.

“Ugh……”

The Prime Minister slowly raises his head. Minho’s brightly smiling face appeared in his eyes.

“Prime Minister. Let’s do something together with me.”

“Ugh… Ugh…!”

The Prime Minister was surprised and started a fight. Minho grabbed his arm and leaned him against the wall.

When he is unable to come to his senses, he taps his cheek a few times to turn his attention to himself.

slap slap

“Now, focus. Come to your senses.”

“Tea, tea, it’s ready! Come to your senses!”

Minho smiles as he sees the Prime Minister’s eyes returning to focus. He said, pulling out a piece of duct tape from his inventory.

“Take off your clothes.”

“Oh, roll up your clothes? Why is this happening? What on earth are you going to do…”

“Ah… I haven’t come to my senses yet.”

Just

“Kwaaa……!”

Minho sighed and snapped his fingers. The prime minister screamed in pain as his little finger burned.

As he held his hand and looked at it, he saw red, ripe fingers.

“Hurry up and take your clothes off.”

“Ah, I understand……”

Feeling pain for the first time, he was completely stunned and quickly rolled up his clothes. Minho attached something to his torso and wrapped the tape around it.

“This… What on earth is this?”

Minho gave a cool answer to the Prime Minister who asked a question in a trembling voice.

“It’s a bomb.”

“Bomb…?!”

“Don’t worry. If you do what I tell you to do, I will save your life. Otherwise, why would you do something like this?”

“Well… I’ll just believe that.”

“Quukkeut, yes.”

Minho said with a small smile.

“Let’s end this situation first. Blame it all on Anaclet.”
