Owen answered yes briefly, and then looked directly at the figure sitting in front of him.

A blond, blue-eyed, middle-aged man was wearing a gorgeous costume, and he sat leisurely on the luxurious chair high above.

Facing that kind and majestic gaze, Owen's body tensed unconsciously.

────Eno von Alseria.

The current king of the Kingdom of Alseria and the father of Lexia.

At this time, only the king Ainuo and Owen were in the audience hall of the royal city located in the royal capital Montres.

"Have you seen that young man?"

"Yes! As Princess Lexia said, we met him in the [Great Demon Realm]."

"Hmm... I didn't expect to be in the [Great Demon Realm]... and I heard it was a foreigner?"

"Yes, the sound of the other party's name is completely different from that of our country, and with black hair and black eyes, it is quite a rare appearance in our country."

"Is that so..."

Einuo nodded calmly while listening to Owen's report.

Seeing this, Owen continued to report.

"One thing... Your Majesty, please advise Princess Lexia on her behavior. As soon as she saw that young man, she suddenly proposed to him, which made me panic for a while... Ahh."

When Owen said this, he hurriedly covered his mouth... Unfortunately, it was too late.

He looked at Einuo tremblingly, and found that the other party was expressionless, staring at himself.

"What did you say?"

"No, no, I have nothing..."

"what did you say?"

"I, I just said────"

"what did you say?"

Owen had no choice but to tell the whole thing.

He would choose to be honest, not because Eno pulled the national treasure "Sword Gureg" out of the scabbard without saying a word.

In the end, he had no choice but to report to Einuo all of Rexia's actions after seeing Yu Ye. After hearing this, Einuo frantically picked up the national treasure and waved it around.

"Where did you come from, you daring bastard! How dare you trick my lovely Rexia!"

"Ahhh! Why is the royal family so troublesome!?"

Owen knew that such a situation was caused by his own slip of the tongue, so he tried his best to calm Enno's mood.

***

"Is this the place..."

The capital of Monterey.

In an area where criminals such as homeless people and thieves gather, a man wearing a cloak appears in an alley.

The person was wary of the surrounding situation, reached a certain place in the alley, and stretched out his hand towards the empty wall.The man then made movements like twisting a turntable, and the wall disappeared as if collapsing, and a road appeared in front of him.

The man made one last check of his surroundings, and walked down the road.As soon as he walked in, the wall immediately returned to its original shape.

He walked all the way inside and came to a spacious space.

Since there are only a few oil lamps for lighting, the indoor light is dim, and the overall structure is like a camp in the wild.

In it, there are many people who have the same dress as that person, or wear masks, drinking and having fun while hiding their real identities.

────However, it can be seen from the appearance and the surrounding atmosphere that their purpose is not just to drink and have fun.

This place is also a place to buy and sell all kinds of information, and... it is also a place to entrust "jobs".

"If you make a contribution...the status of my Conis family will be strengthened..."

The man walked directly to the bar and spoke to the man who was washing the dishes and cups with a blank face.

"I have a job here."

"……What content?"

"Investigate and kill the designated target."

Hearing the contents of this dangerous job, the man at the bar was completely unmoved.

As for why he can be so calm, it is because all the work entrusted here is closely related to the illegal underground society.

The man at the bar temporarily stopped washing the dishes and took out a bundle of parchment from under the bar.

"...These are the only ones who are free right now."

The man who entrusted the work immediately confirmed the experience and ability of those people on the parchment, as well as the price.

At this time, one of the papers caught his attention.

"!? Could it be... is 'that person' free now!?"

"...Yes. So, you are lucky, that person is here now... You know, that person is very sought-after. What are you going to do?"

"It's, it's him! I want to entrust him! Is that okay!?"

The man who commissioned the work spoke in a hurry, but the man at the bar was still expressionless.He pulled out the parchment with the profile on it, and pointed to a room.

"...that room, that person is inside."

"I know, I know."

The man who commissioned the work followed the instructions and walked to the room behind the tavern.

He walked to the room, made up his mind and walked inside.

"────Are you working?"

If there was one word to describe the person in the room, it would be "black".

A dark green hooded cloak and a sinister black mask concealed his entire face.
