Rui raised an eyebrow with an expression of disbelief at the druid. "You're kidding, right? I said it can't be excessive. What makes you think that I would agree to assassinating the Empress of the Hlakaschken Trade Empire?"
"It shouldn't be too much of a problem for someone of your caliber," the Whisperer replied to him. "The security she has is high, but not high enough to stop someone of your power."
"You want me to launch a frontal assault or something?" Rui gazed at her with a dubious expression. "It's too extreme. In the first place, why do you even want the Empress killed? Given that you haven't been caught, it seems like you have it pretty good in the Empress' regime, do you not?"
"…It's not about me," the Whisperer replied with a serious tone. "I want Empress Miarlia dead because she's an impediment to this nation and the greatness it can achieve."
Her eyes sharpened.
