Chapter 41: The Assassination of the Royal City
Two days later, Leah was sent to the royal city.
Along the way, she kept thinking about what had happened in the last few days.
[Why did you choose me to assassinate purebloods?, it stands to reason that wouldn't it be better to arrange professional assassins for this kind of thing?]
Kai had already shown that he had spies in the city, so sending an Assassin or two in shouldn't be a problem. In any case, it is unreliable to let a slave go to assassinate.
[If I kill a pureblood, what good will Kai Bradford get?]
If you think about it, it is impossible to survive killing a pure-blooded slave, and is it too extravagant and wasteful to use a gladiator champion and a girl who also maintains her pure body as a pawn that can be used and thrown away?
[And speaking of which, since some time ago, he has been re-wooing Cyrus.] 】
Perhaps Kai didn't want to send her to the royal city as an assassin, but he had to. The only reason to woo a former champion who hates him is that he knows he's going to lose his current champion.
For the nobles of the Duchy of Federo, the strength of the gladiator team represents the strength of power, and Kai can't accept that his team loses the championship, so he knows that he has made a bad deal with Cyrus, and he still wants to win over.
Considering the inexplicable anger of the other party some time ago, it should be that Grand Duke Conte Federo used some means to force Kay to sell Leah. In retaliation, Kai asks her to assassinate Pureblood, so that the poor ogre will be punished by the enraged Brotham for losing his pureblood, and the champion girl who just started will kill two birds with one stone
"Okay...... Looks like I'm being treated like a death squad. ”
Leah muttered to herself. She understands that in Kai's scheme, she is just a minor character who should die after killing purebloods.
[But it's okay, let's make good use of each other and see who can have the last laugh.] 】
At least Leah thinks. Kai Bradford is out of the game this time......
After moving from the Bradford family's mansion to Archduke Federo's royal city, Leah felt that there was no change in her life alone, and she was still imprisoned in a room belonging to a slave. The only difference is that the gladiators here are all unfriendly.
But little Lori knows that these guys with eyes above the top are like this in the face of newcomers. The world of gladiators is a world where strength speaks, so she smiled and rubbed all the unfriendly guys to the ground, thus turning unfriendliness into friendliness.
At the same time. Plans to persuade the gladiators to revolt did not stop. Unlike Kay Bradford, who instilled glory in the gladiators, Conte Federo was a tyrannical duke who often abused or insulted his subordinates.
Because of this, the gladiators here have a long-standing grudge against the nobility, and there is little hindrance to incitement.
All that's left is to find purebloods.
However, this is the royal city, and the garrison is not the same as the Bradford family's mansion. Not to mention that the Grand Duke of Conte, who did not care much about the gladiators, rarely gave them free reins. So Leah didn't get a chance to explore the castle.
[Well...... Anyway, Bradford will help me find Eleni. 】
However, she is not worried that someone will take care of everything for her.
Sure enough, it hadn't even been a week yet, and that night, there was some unusual sound outside, and if you carefully distinguish it, it should be a thief picking the lock.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Leah would die in a foggy night hunt, the plan came sooner than expected.
"Isa. Follow us according to the alchemist's plan. ”
Entering the room were three men in black, who heard the title alchemist. Leah knew the show was about to begin.
She followed the three out of the room and found that the guards around her had been silently wiped on their necks.
A few men cautiously moved through the dimly lit hallway, avoiding most of the patrolling guards, but as they got closer to the center, the defenses grew stronger.
Leah tensed her nerves, to be honest. She felt that this plan was a bit too reckless, and it was a flaw to try to kill the purebloods who were being closely guarded by the Grand Duke of Conte in just a few days.
Even if the spies in the castle were deadly pawns of the alchemists who had been ambushed here a long, long time ago, the chances of an accident were still too great.
[Strange. 】
What Leah didn't expect was that the men in black seemed to know every secret whistle in the castle. Silently glide through one deadly trap after another.
[No, this is not something that Kay Bradford can do with a few days of hasty decisions.] 】
She thought that she would help this team get rid of a few dark sentinels on her own, but with the strength of little Lori, even if she was discovered, she was confident that she would finish off the poor sentinel in an instant.
However, in fact, it seems that Leah is worried, and they arrive outside the room where the pureblood is without any accidents.
This is where the personal slave girls of the Grand Duke of Conte live, and there were many guards around, but now they are all lying quietly on the ground, looking like they have a sore throat.
Although she is a personal slave girl, Leah is not worried that Alinee has been indecent or abused, after all, it is a hostage used to blackmail Hilpe, Brotham will not allow this kind of fork, and Grand Duke Kante himself will not choose to attack pureblood even if he is Lori and shakes S.
"Take this and go in and complete your mission. ”
A man in black expertly dodged the magic trap and unlocked the intricate door. He handed Leah a dagger and said.
Leah frowned at the familiar weapon, the magic sword she had used in her time at the Mansion.
[Sure enough...... What's wrong here......]
It was obviously a very well-planned operation, but she was allowed to use the weapons in the foreign pavilion. You know, these Bradford family personal weapons are emblazoned with the scepter and the family crest of the staff. Using this weapon - it's like telling someone that Kay Bradford sent someone to kill the purebloods.
However, Leah still entered the room according to the instructions of those people, anyway, as long as the safety of the pureblood was ensured, she didn't care what was behind this matter.
As a personal slave girl, the pure-blooded room was much more luxurious than that of gladiators and ordinary slaves, and on the large soft bed, Leah saw Eleni sleeping soundly.
In the moonlight, the pure-blooded little Lori showed a sweet and defenseless sleeping face, completely unaware that the assassination of her was close at hand. (To be continued.) )
