The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 53: Assassin Returns

They quickly went to the residence they had visited without suspicion, they gathered the secured papers and put them together.

And the hedgehog-haired man was cut off by his weapon and tied up with his hands and feet and gagged his mouth.

The leader of the squad read it and to his surprise, they gathered detailed information against the kingdom of Svardia.

"Why do you secure this paper, it should be burned" said one assassin

"Stupid, I want to hand this over to the king, so this paper should be safe, and tomorrow morning we're going to the capital, the capital,the king will definitely unite all the forces in his conquered territory and the king himself will lead that army" the squad leader explained.

They put the stacked paper in a bag made of leather, they all treated their own wounds and rested, the three assassins were on guard including guarding the porcupine-haired man earlier,they will take turns to keep watch.

As all the assassins rested, they heard a faint sound of hiri hara screaming, perhaps they were gathered because the mansion was on fire.

There was an army of Griffin Riders pouring water into the burning building with water magic.

Surviving at night with a state of vigil through the night, not unexpectedly all the assassins who slept in sleep should be rounded up because the hedgehog-haired man was awake.

The head of the squad slapped the man and opened the lump of cloth in his mouth

"Sick!, why do you slap me, do you want me to shout to wake up the townspeople and the city warriors,"

The squad leader slapped him again.

"Where is this, and also this space looks Familiar"

The hedgehog-haired man looked at the room carefully, he realized something.

"This is the house of the fat man and the old man, did you kill him, did you want to kill me too!"

The two squads slapped him again and said with intimidating faces "So, what's your name"

"Well I'll say, don't slap me again, my name is Reus, the head of the king's intelligence society"

"Are there any other files from this intelligence organization?" Ask the squad leader

"No, this is a new organization created by the king two weeks ago, so it is still new and everyone recruited must be someone who has no family" Reus explained

"Is there anything else you can tell us"

Hearing that word Reus immediately thought and remembered an information he had heard.

"I've heard a talk while at the palace, which is about the city's barrier, there are some witches who are in the tower, they set up a large barrier there"

Hearing that some assassin took out a pen and recorded all the important information he said.

"You have obeyed my words, I gave you warm tea to drink"

The assassin he was in was holding a rope in his hand and giving him tea.

Reus drank it and tasted the good taste of the tea, and soon after, the mouth froze and he died.

The teacup that Reus was holding fell and the tea spilled and filled the floor.

"Clean the tea on that floor and wash the cloth, after that take away all the objects in the body"

The next morning they went silent from the city through the city walls that were off guard, they used levitation magic mixed with shadow steps.

They chose to go through there and not pass through the gate because the soldiers at the checkpoint would conduct a metat check to search for the arsonist last night.

They walked quickly away from the border, when they met the merchant on the big road, they hitched a ride with the merchant for a gold coin, and also happened to be the merchant wanted to go to the city of Lenfica.

The merchant brought two swords, one with potatoes, and one with a pedati for the merchant, and they sat in the pedaty with the merchant,and his two burly-looking aides became the charioteers of his two swords.

"Who are you, where are you from?" Ask the merchant

"We're young men who want to go to a big city, but our vehicles were stolen by bandits, but we've only got the power to fight back and escape safely" the squad leader told a lie

"Then I'm sorry for you guys, maybe our meeting is fate" the merchant said

"Do you want to go to Lenfica city to sell these potatoes?" Ask the squad leader

"No, I sent potatoes for the orphanage, my friend ordered them and paid for them" the old man replied

"I don't know if Lenfica has an orphanage in town"

The two of them chatted until they approached the city gate of Lenfica, the chief of the assassin squad requested to descend on the gate, and the twelve assassins descended on the gate,they waved to the merchant and looked for the ship that had gone to the port city of Sirnes, which was close to the capital.

They went to the docks and asked about the ships that were heading for the city of Sirnest, after a long time they searched, there was a merchant ship that some said was from the city of Sirnest

The ship unloaded its cargo in the barn, they carried the finest silk cloth and some barrel-filled wine.

They approached the captain of the ship and asked "why can we ride the captain, we will pay for it"

The captain of the ship agreed and received a bag of gold coins, they were allowed to board and wait for all the cargo to be unloaded, then they would return to the city of Sirnest.

It did not take long after unloading the cargo, they set off at full speed because the ship was empty without any other load weighing.

The merchant ship sailed some distance from the coast from the port of Lenfica, and now they are still on the coast of the Svardia conquered region.

Along the way they saw several port cities in the northern region of the duke Nordford's dominion, and as the sky began to twilight they reached the city of Sirnest.

Their journey is very tiring, now the territory of the kingdom of Svardia is getting wider, it will be a long time if they are in the north and then to the south.

After they descended, they immediately met the city lord to provide a pedicure for the twelve assassins.

After waiting, the city lord handed them one roofless pedicab and a high-quality horse.

For the pedati, the ruler of the city did not withdraw the price, but for the horse the chief assassin had to pay 3 bags of gold coins.

An assassin was told to look for grass for horses, and they left the city of Sirnest quickly, because the two cities were quite close, they saw the walls of the capital in the distance.

They returned to the capital in the evening, moments before the gates of the capital were closed.

Their main destination was the royal palace, they walked through the sparkling city lights and some houses that lit their lights before dark.

The muscular horse had led them to the palace, eleven others were told to wait in the palace garden while their chief entered the palace and met his king in the dining hall.
