Edward, who had been pausing, began speaking.

“···Revenge seeks destruction, not the life of the royal family.”

“Is there anyone you can guess who it is?”

“Opponent? There are so many. They are nobles!”

Edward growled as if he was chewing.

“My aunt’s baby was found with a knife stuck in the heart.”

“Pet dogs raised foam at the mouth and die, and people who use them run away or are killed.”

“After you disappeared and left behind a curse, our family was cursed.”

‘I’ve never given such a physical curse.’

I couldn’t understand.

I have killed thousands of people, and I know well the psychological state of those who kill people.

Boksu is a group of ‘assassins’ famous for their skills.

They are assassins and have no grudges against the royal family.

“It’s okay. Since I am already in contact with Boksu, I advise you not to do so.”

“Puhup···! suasion? Recommendation…?!”

“If you ignore my advice, there will be no next time.”

I looked straight at Edward.

“We will allow you to go see Angela within a year.”

The prince was still expressionless, but dopamine was exploding in his eyes.

While everyone except me was waiting for the prince’s answer.

The prince’s eyes turned to Isabelle.

“No matter how much you are a princess, you cannot ascend to the throne if you do not have the minimum qualifications.”

“······.”

“I will educate you, but if your qualifications are lacking, this job would have never happened.”

Rather than not being there, I’m so excited that I can’t control myself.

It was so funny that I laughed.

“A truly excellent choice.”

* * * * * *

“Is marrying a noble person such a big sin?”

“It’s a principle. This is not because of the vanity of being blood mixed with commoners, but to maintain the number and wealth of nobles.”

I can’t believe you’re thinking like that at a time when the population is exploding.

“First of all, I understand that it is absolutely useless.”

Isabel also agrees silently.

The party was running well even without the main character.

Isabelle also smiled bitterly at that fact.

He glances around the crowd, and eventually he looks at me.

“Would you like to dance with me?”

“I’ve never danced before.”

“At least pretend.”

A situation where strangers gather at a birthday party and play with each other except for the main character.

He is such a pitiful person.

···.

Shir looked at me intently, but then he looked away.

“···Okay.”

Sur fell for method acting… Ah!

Caught!

“You─?!”

Avoiding Shir’s hand, I grabbed Isabelle’s hand and quickly entered the ballroom.

Shir glared at me brusquely.

However, when I went up to the ballroom, my eyes were completely dark.

‘How do I dance? ‘The only dance I know is the sword dance?’

“Just move as I move.”

It doesn’t matter as long as you lead the way.

It didn’t matter, but other worries were eating into my mind.

“Princess.”

“Yes.”

” Now that I think about it, if I were an assassin, I would aim for this moment.”

“How do you know that?”

“Trees hide inside trees. However, assassins are animals that pretend to be trees, so they prefer situations where the trees do not recognize them.”

The sniping point stands out.

The second floor, the terrace, outside the window… that’s the best.

‘Still, the distance is about 1 rubit.’

It’s impossible unless someone like Robin Hood shoots a baby with a horn bow.

Let’s rule that out.

The melody begins to flow.

With my body tense, I moved my feet following Isabelle’s movements.

“···What happened to the Guardian Knight incident?”

“That’s because it can only be designated after the coming-of-age ceremony. The principle is to select the most outstanding person among the knights…”

“Are you saying a duel is necessary?”

“···Yes.”

There is no way I will lose.

“When does it start?”

“Tomorrow.”

The moment I was thinking about the performance I had to show tomorrow.

Like sourness in sweetness, I was filled with joy and joy.

“···Princess.”

“Yes.”

“It’s outside the window.”

“···Yes? Outside the window?”

Isabelle looks around chaotically.

It was a natural reaction. If I hadn’t felt alive, I wouldn’t have known.

Are you aiming a bow outside the effective range of an automatic rifle?

“Can you see it on the inner wall outside the second floor window that decorates the entrance?”

“···What is it?”

‘What I see is strange.’

At 300 meters, even a person would seem the size of a grain of rice…

Just as I am looking at him, he is also looking at me.

They say I have the power to read anyone’s emotions if we look into their eyes…

Beyond that vast distance, I can feel it recognizing me and being surprised.

‘He knew I was staring.’

My eyesight is abnormally good. It must be Terub.

Judging from the fact that it looks grey-white against the moonlight, it is a leopard among terubs.

Among the leopards, there are people called the snow leopards.

But that’s it.

It doesn’t show any more details.

‘If it were a bow shot by a leopard, it would reach this far.’

As the dance continued, we ended up with our backs to the window.

I know I’ll never be able to shoot it, but since I can’t see it with my eyes, I fucking want to keep my eyes on it.

The murderous feeling stabbed in the back of my head intensifies.

It seems that the negotiations with Boksu are over.

then···.

“An arrow will soon fly out that window.”

“···Yes?!”

“Want to continue the party? Or would you like to enjoy a thrilling coming of age ceremony?”

“Is the party important now?!! People’s lives…!”

“No one’s life is in danger.”

Next to me, two young couples who seemed to be no more than sixteen were dancing and smiling brightly.

It is a one-time coming-of-age ceremony.

If you avoid it hastily, innocent people will get hurt.

I lightly took off my jacket.

“I will show you a magic trick.”

In all likelihood, the arrowhead will contain extreme poison.

But distance is distance.

Unless it is a ballista, the speed is bound to decrease.

I have been holding a bow for nearly ten years, and I have encountered most bows.

Most bow speeds are understood by feel.

‘Is it possible.’

The hand tremors caused by cortisol begin to subside in the uneasy peace that comes from tension.

Let’s not break the mood. I can take it.

It is very rare to aim for the head in long-distance shooting.

Most of them aim for the upper body near the prothoracic region where the lungs and heart are located, and aim for the heart as a rule.

I learned everything from Jules and my father.

His fierceness shines like a fisherman catching the bite of a fish.

─It’s coming!

“Sihyeon?!!”

You know best the speed of your bow.

I looked straight into his invisible eyes, read the speed at which the tension was rising, and strengthened my eyesight.

It takes strength in your hands.

Even if it is a bow used by an Ain who is stronger than a human, its speed is ultimately less than 180 meters per second.

It also eventually slows down, and by the time it arrives here, it will be below 100 meters per second.

This is the fastball speed of an amateur baseball player.

‘I can take it well enough.’

The moment the song gets louder.

Everyone spins around with their partner.

I stopped dancing and turned around.

‘It’s coming in 1 second!’

Clink!

The glass shatters, scattering light everywhere.

Immediately── grab it!

“Aaaa!!!”

A woman covered in broken glass jumps and screams.

The arrow was in my hand.

“Ta-da! how is it. This is a magic where the arrow is sucked into the hand.”

Isabel looks at me in fascination.

People’s eyes turned to the screaming woman.

“What’s going on?!”

“Suddenly the window broke!”

The royal knights who were waiting in the audience wearing civilian clothes flocked to Isabel like a swarm of bees.

It’s a poisonous smell that makes your nasal passages tingle.

Soon the royal knights will come to visit me. I previously held the arrow high.

As if bragging to a guy. Grab the tip of the arrow and shake it like a toy.

The arrow was very small. At first glance, it looks like a bolt.

“Isn’t it such a cute arrow?”

“···What is that?”

In Korean terms, it is baby meat.

However, there was no way this person knew that.

I pointed the arrow straight at the royal knight.

“Chief. Could you please handle this quietly?”

“Assassin──!”

“Vengeance has appeared───!”

“···That idiot.”

Seth touches his temple.

Anne, who was sitting at the table eating cookies, did not understand the situation, and Isabelle had a pale face.

I didn’t know it would turn out like this!

“Can you help me sort things out without swearing?”

Seth wrinkles his eyebrows, covers his face, and sighs.

Then he got up and held out his palm toward the broken window.

Uuuu!

The grandiose sound catches the attention of the knights.

The glass began to restore the window to its original state, as if watching a reverse video.

“What kind of assassin is this? No matter where I look, it’s an arrow flying outside the window───”

“Catch him!”

The knights didn’t even listen to Seth’s words and tried to capture me.

“Now, wait a minute!”

Isabel blocks the knights’ path.

I’m having a hard time living once again. The guy hasn’t left yet.

“He hasn’t left yet.”

Isabel’s face becomes as hard as stone.

A person who is weak to pain. I can endure more pain than others, but that’s it.

He is fundamentally different from me.

Shir—── No!

I’m pissed! I’m more afraid of Shir than revenge! That idiot can turn this place upside down!

“···Please come behind me.”

“Do not touch the princess!”

chin!

The knight pushes away the hand that was trying to grab Isabelle’s shoulder.

There is no time to deal with it.

Because the other person was preparing a second shot.

But at least you have to wait until everyone in the ballroom has left the podium.

“He is preparing to shoot.”

“Shut up!”

“I’ll shoot it soon. Please come behind me.”

He threw away the arrow and turned around, holding his jacket that looked like a glove.

The knights looked dumbfounded. I glared at the guy in the distance.

‘···The target has changed.’

─It’s me.

He is filled with childish interest and looks like he is looking forward to it.

The arrowhead that was thrown away was a barbed point for piercing.

It is not a good choice for assassinating someone wearing casual clothes.

Judging by the fact that I had my back to Isabel, he is a guy who selects arrowheads for different purposes.

In that case, the arrow that comes next will be an ax arrow.

If you hold it incorrectly, your fingers will fly off.

Of course, there was no way I could have caught it wrong.

‘I have to grab that one too.’

I pushed Isabelle out of the ballroom and gave him a sign with my fingers.

The knights’ eyes turn to my hand.

The bowstring was let go.

The arrow would arrive in 3 seconds anyway.

“Everyone! The magic tower lord shows us glass magic! Please be careful of loud noises!”

“What─?!”

Seth stood up in embarrassment.

I responded with a smile and waved at Seth.

“You really…!”

Seth waved his hand widely.

Clink!

At that moment, the entire glass shattered.

The broken glass turns into a butterfly in the air before falling.

From regular glass butterflies to butterflies made of stained glass.

They flew around people and fascinated them one by one.

The butterfly that flew around the party and gave off shattering light was like a living jewel.

For a moment, admiration erupted from all over the place.

The colorful glass butterflies that were fluttering around the banquet room flocked to the window and returned to their original state.

Immediately, countless applause poured in toward Seth.

For an improvised magic, it was very beautiful, and everyone was mesmerized.

─Except for the royal knights.

Because the situation just now was one of the best situations for an assassination attempt.

I quietly walked ahead, hiding the arrow I had caught.

The knights quietly follow me.

“···Dwin?”

“I will drink some water and come back. Don’t follow me and enjoy the party.”

Because he’s already gone.

I bowed lightly and left the party.

I hope Isabel has a happy coming of age ceremony.
