Rustle! Rustle!
Inside the quiet mansion, the sound of turning pages continued.
After receiving the magic books, Elsa and Meili couldn't wait to start reading.
A moment later, Meili said in surprise, "I never imagined our master comes from another world."
"And he's the ruler of several worlds?"
As she spoke, her eyes widened more and more, a look of reverence appearing in the depths of her gaze.
An uncrowned king reigning over several worlds.
That was... simply too amazing.
Elsa asked curiously, "Master, did you really kill a god and take its Authority?"
Ayato smiled. "Of course. The power of the Blessing I gave you comes from that."
"Hey hey." Elsa said excitedly, "What color were the god's intestines?"
"Don't worry. You'll have a chance to see."
"Okay."
Hearing Ayato's answer, Elsa nodded frantically.
Now!
She was truly glad she had become Ayato's servant.
"But before that, we need to take care of some things."
Ayato said, "As per the usual routine, we need to set up a base in this world. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Master has tens of thousands of servants. My place would absolutely not be suitable."
Elsa thought for a moment, then said, "How about this? The headquarters of our organization seems to fit the criteria."
"All the facilities are there. It's the most suitable place I can think of."
"Of course, it can't accommodate tens of thousands of people, but we can expand it."
Meili agreed, "Yes. I think it's the most suitable place too."
Ayato's expression was somewhat peculiar.
Good grief!
Although he knew these two servants of his were assassins...
They were selling out their old employers so easily?
"Don't misunderstand, Master. Even without you, if I had the strength, I would have tried to destroy them."
Elsa said hatefully, "Especially that old hag who calls herself our mother. I really want to know the color of her intestines."
"Fine. I'll go with your suggestion."
He wasn't surprised by Elsa's hatred.
Having been used as tools for murder...
As long as they hadn't been completely brainwashed, it was impossible to have any goodwill towards an assassin organization.
With a plan in place, Ayato dispelled the barrier.
The next moment!
The three of them shot into the sky, disappearing into the thick night.
The Royal Capital.
Inside a huge mansion.
No one knew.
This mansion in the royal capital was the headquarters of an assassin organization.
At this moment!
In a large hall.
A group of assassin leaders were gathered together.
The head of the organization, who called herself "Mother," was behind a curtain, her figure only vaguely visible.
"Say, what do you all think about the assassination contract on Emilia?"
The organization head spoke calmly. "Should we take this contract or not?"
One high-ranking member frowned. "She is, after all, one of the royal election candidates. Would killing her cause some trouble?"
"Haha, what trouble?"
Another high-ranking member laughed loudly. "We're an assassin organization. As long as the price is right, we can kill whoever we want."
"Exactly. I agree with taking action..."
"I also agree."
Soon, most of the high-ranking members and leaders responded one by one.
"In that case, when Elsa returns, we'll leave this matter to her."
The organization head said calmly.
Hearing this, everyone smiled and nodded.
But just then.
"AAAAHHHH!"
Screams came from outside.
A thick smell of blood floated into the room.
"What's going on?"
"Could there be an intruder?"
Hearing the commotion, everyone was terrified.
"I'll go out and take a look."
One person had just stood up from his seat when he saw a black shadow instantly smash through the door and land heavily on the ground.
The black shadow coughed blood, blood flowing from its abdomen onto the floor. It moved a few times before losing consciousness.
"Th-this..."
He froze, his gaze trembling slightly.
Because this person was clearly one of the organization's top assassins.
And now, he had died just like that.
"Elsa, you were right. It seems they did have a meeting today, and quite a few people gathered."
Ayato walked in with Elsa and Meili, a trail of corpses behind them.
"Who are you?"
"Elsa, Meili, are you betraying the organization?"
Many of the high-ranking members' faces changed dramatically.
Elsa and Meili were both ace assassins of their organization.
But now.
They had rebelled at the same time.
Just earlier, everything had been fine.
Why had this happened in such a short time?
