Time goes back to the night before the execution...

Tatsumi and Tashigi were still worried about how to find an opportunity to get close to Prince Sean. The security of the entire imperial city was too strict. Even for them who were born in the assassination team, it was difficult to sneak in, especially the almost perverted and strict investigation method of the Kserk Palace.

Even if the person delivering the vegetables is not the same person, he will be arrested and questioned. There will be no chance of sneaking in.

Without an opportunity, it would be impossible for the two of them to sneak into the palace...

This may not be good news for Tatsumi, but it is very easy for Tashigi.

Finally there is no chance!

This is good. She doesn't want Tatsumi to take risks again from the bottom of her heart. Although it is selfish to think so and she even feels sorry for those dead brothers, being able to survive is lucky. Why can't she cherish what she has?

However, what the two did not expect was that news suddenly came from the imperial city that several nobles and officials who had been in power in Keselke for many years were actually identified as traitors, and their property was to be confiscated and even their entire families were to be destroyed!

The news was so explosive that all kinds of rumors were circulating among the neighbors.

Over the next two days, as Prince Langdon personally investigated the case, the truth gradually became clear...

It seems that these officials have planned many things a long time ago, including secretly colluding with other countries and external hostile forces, and planning to overthrow the current rule of Sel Williams, which is a heinous crime for a country.

Although some people spread rumors that this was a purge, these rumors became more and more true as letters used by the enemy to contact external enemies were found during the house searches.

In just two days, it was decided to execute them publicly, and royal members and officials in office would be present on the day.

"This is an opportunity."

Tatsumi, who had been struggling to find an opportunity, suddenly said this.

"ah??"

"You don't understand. Prince Sean will definitely show up tomorrow. We can then disguise ourselves as soldiers and get close to him. Besides, there will be so many people there that day, so it will be easy for us to sneak out. This is a great opportunity." Tatsumi, who has many years of experience in assassination teams, suddenly thought of it.

"That's too dangerous. Prince Sean can't be alone. Don't forget that the witch next to him is the famous Red Dragon Witch of the Bashalan Empire."

"I know that... but we have to find an opportunity. She can't keep an eye on Sean forever." Tatsumi really disliked Tashigi at this moment.

It seems that she was not afraid of anything before, but in the past year, she seems to be worried about everything, especially revenge, which she has been procrastinating again and again.

"But how do we get close? And the Imperial Army of Kserk is not so easy to fool."

"This..." Tatsumi really hadn't thought of this.

This is no ordinary army. The royal soldiers and horses in the capital are of high rank, and even the personal guards are experienced people. It is not easy to deceive them.

"Perhaps you could use a little help?"

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside the window of the room where the two were living.

"who?"

I nervously ran to the window and looked outside... nothing! But when I turned around, I suddenly found a man in a black robe in the room.

"Who are you, eavesdropping on our conversation?" Tatsumi nervously picked up the weapon in his hand.

In my heart, I told myself that the other party might be much stronger than the two of them, but since this conversation was heard, if I didn't take action and it was told out, it would be a capital crime!

"I'm sorry, because of my magic I'm good at hearing sounds from a wide range around me, so I accidentally heard you talking about the Desert Prince." The man in black robe pulled down his hood, revealing a face that was half withered and half human.

hiss~

Tatsumi and Tashigi took a deep breath.

That face looked so scary, not only the withered side, but even the human side looked weird. The face was swollen like a porcelain doll, smiling, and it was as bright as if it was greased with oil.

"Who are you?" asked Tashigi.

"I have many names, but some people call me Wax Face, which is more well-known..."

"Waxy face?!"

Tashigi seemed to remember something.

"You're the wax-faced one from the Coven."

"It seems my name is still useful... Let's get back to the point. You were trying to deal with that desert prince, weren't you? Perhaps I can give you some help."

"Why should we trust you?" Tatsumi asked.

"Because I have some grievances with that prince, and of course... the people around him as well."

"Oh?" Tatsumi asked curiously.

"Then I'd like to hear more details..."

…………………………

On the day of the execution, Tatsumi and Tashigi actually became the two who infiltrated the royal guards.

These are the two sets of clothes that Wax Face sent over this morning. Just put them on and take the badges with you, and you'll be able to sneak into the execution ground...

At first, the two of them didn't quite believe it, but now it seems to be true, and he actually came in.

"Tatsumi, do you think that wax-faced guy can be trusted?" Tashigi was still worried. For her, the best outcome for the two of them was that they had no chance.

But in that environment, an opportunity suddenly appeared...

"It's unbelievable, but at least we're here. Let's see what happens first. I think the wizard from yesterday was probably using us. What he said was half true, half false. He seemed more like a conspirator. Aren't most of the people at the execution ground today communicating with the enemy? I guess the wizard slipped through the net."

Tatsumi had worked as an investigator in the Revolutionary Army for a period of time. He was no fool when it came to the affairs of these bureaucrats, and he could understand them if he thought about it more.

"Then we can't listen to him."

"Of course we can't listen to him. However, the fact that he can provide us with convenience means that his influence has penetrated deep into the palace of Keselk. If we had rejected such a person directly yesterday, we would probably have died on the spot. I decided to come down to give us some opportunities."

"Of course... our goals are actually similar."

Tatsumi thought about various possibilities, but the most important thing right now was to find out the truth and look for opportunities.

"Follow me first!"

Because the two men were wearing the uniforms of the royal guards, they could move around the execution ground under the pretext of patrolling. At this time, dozens of people kneeling in the field began to cry.

Directly opposite them, a man in gorgeous clothes was reading out the charges against the person to be executed...

Since it is a public execution, there must be a legitimate reason, and every charge must be listed.

"Hmph, hypocrisy." Dashigi chuckled.

Although I don't know who this person is, the trembling sound he makes when reading words sounds like he is in pain.

You are about to become an executioner, but you are still pretending to be kind and righteous and trying to sell sympathy!

"These nobles are hypocritical... They're the same everywhere."
