Chapter 13: Assassination

() Dany, as usual, returned to the palace garden very late, and when she had been with her teacher to visit the king's uncle in Hansar every year, she and her teacher had been arranged to live in the palace, so she was familiar with the roads of the palace and the whole palace

She was so tired, she had just recovered from her state of excitement, and the feeling of back pain took over her whole body, and the girl who was overdrawn felt unusually tired, and involuntarily sat down against a tree, although her bedroom was more than ten meters away, she felt that the distance of more than ten meters was so far away

Alas, let's rest for a while before going back to the room to sleep, with this thought, Dany closed her eyes and planned to close her eyes for a while, but she didn't expect her to fall asleep like this, under the big tree

In the events of the Tower of Seven Sins, compared with Sophia and Owen who entered the tower, under the protection of Duris and the guards, Dany's injuries were considered the lightest, so she recovered earlier than Sophia and the others, but Dani did not enjoy the rest that a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness deserved, because on that day she met her own killer enemy, the paladin in a black cloak; However, she personally felt the insurmountable gap in strength between herself and her enemies, and in order to one day be able to repay the Qiu of Teacher William, Dani hoped to train herself strong enough to take revenge, so just after her body had just recovered, she ignored it completely, and was still in the recovery period, insisting on going to the school early every morning to compete with those battle-hardened sergeants to improve her combat skills; even when the arena was empty at night, she still practiced her sword despite her fatigue, and did not return to the garden to sleep until late at nightHowever, she had only slept for less than four hours, and the next day at dawn she got up again and went to the arena to practice day after day

Because of this, the friends can barely see Dani, and they think that Dani has moved out of the garden

For Dani's lifeless practice, as an elder, King Duris has repeatedly dissuaded her, but for this stubborn girl, she has never been able to change her mind, and Duris has no choice but to let it go

I don't know how many times Dany fell asleep under a tree like tonight, but tonight was destined to be a little different, and Dany lay under the tree for I don't know how long, until she felt a strange movement of air in a daze

The sleeping warrior is closest to death, and she always takes the teachings of Teacher William to heart, so although she falls asleep due to exhaustion, Dani still retains a certain amount of vigilance in her consciousness, and when she senses something unusual in her surroundings, she tries to restore her consciousness, and in less than 2 seconds, Dani is completely awake from her slumber

In the faint moonlight, Dany saw four black figures climb over the fence from the outside, jumped into the garden, and quickly approached in the direction of the bedrooms

Who are they, the actions of these four mysterious people made Dany feel bad for a moment, but before she could scream, the four people had disappeared from her sight, apparently these people had entered the hall of the annex, and Dani drew his long sword and quietly stuck to it

At the entrance of the hall, Dany found the four men, they were huddled together, gesturing silently, because they were too far away, and it was night, Dany couldn't see what the gestures were, but finally she could clearly see one of the men in black making a neck slashing motion

They are killers, and Dany's heart sank, and she immediately understood the meaning of this action, but who are these men in black going to assassinate, who are these killers, are they assassins sent by the Holy See

But before the doubts in Dani's mind could be answered, the figures of the men in black disappeared again, and Dani immediately followed, and by the faint sound of footsteps, Dani finally found the four men at the door of one of the bedrooms, and they were surrounded by weapons in their hands, and one of them gently pushed the door open with his hand

It was Sister Sophia's room, could it be that the target of their assassination was Sister Sophia, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in Dany's mind, thinking of this, Dani couldn't bear it anymore, she jumped out of hiding place, waved her long sword, and suddenly rushed forward

The four men in black apparently didn't realize that there was someone behind them, and they also looked back in shock, and before they could react, Dany's sword had already stabbed the chest of a mysterious person closest to her, but I don't know if it was because it consumed too much body during the day or for some other reason, Dani was surprised to find that her sword did not penetrate the mysterious person's body, but knocked the latter away

Could it be that he was wearing special armor, such a thought suddenly flashed in Dani's mind, but in the next second, she had lost all ability to think, because a heavy blow to the nerve in her neck made Dani unconscious in an instant, and there were many unexpected things for Dani, except that her sword could not pierce the enemy's body, and she actually did not notice that there was a fifth mysterious intruder behind her

The assailant gently grabbed Dani's soft body from behind and slowly lowered her to the ground

The fifth man in black who knocked down Dany turned out to be the leader of this mysterious group of men in black, and he stretched out his hand to his companion who had been knocked to the ground by Dany with a sword, and made a flip-out motion; the man nodded that it was okay, and then stood up on his own, and there was no verbal communication between them, but they cooperated with each other quite tacitly, and it could be seen that they were all battle-hardened old comrades

Despite some unplanned exceptions, they gently pushed open the door to Sophia's bedroom as originally planned, and quietly entered one by one

Five mysterious men came and gathered around Sophia's bed, and in the faint moonlight, it was faintly discernible that the person lying on the bed was sleeping soundly

The five men nodded to each other, then raised their blades together, and the frozen blades flickered in the moonlight

The leader made a striking motion, and five swords slashed at the sleeping man lying on the bed.......
