Reincarnated With The Undefeated System
Chapter 126 The Truth Mustn’t Be Revealed (How It Happened).Asher sighed a little, then voiced out, "I'll need one of you guys to help me stalk the king".
"What!". The three assassins voiced out in unison.
"The king plan on doing something to find out the person behind Aiden's capture, and I don't know what he plans on doing, how effective it is, and it is really torturing. It would be a big stain on my name once it's revealed that I was behind the capture of my brother's son,
I'll most likely be killed. If the king doesn't kill me, then my younger brother, Ethan, would definitely kill me. Please, one of you guys would have to help me out with this". Asher stated once again.
The assassins began glancing at each other, they knew they needed to help him out. Right now, they were contemplating the person that was gonna handle the job of stalking the king...it was a really risky job.
As known, knights were around the palace and the main place where the king was residing with his family. If anyone gets caught trespassing around the territory of the king with a bad motive, that person would severely be punished or killed.
The person that was gonna handle the job of stalking the king was chosen, he was the fastest among the three of them. He could escape from danger easily 'cause of how fast he was when running. He wasn't part of the assassins that went to kill Aiden in the old edifice and failed.
..He wasn't part of them at all.
"Please, I want you to try your best to accomplish this mission smoothly, try to discover how the king plan on finding out the person behind Aiden's capture. I don't want the truth to be revealed". Asher uttered with a bit of distressed expression on his face, he was a little scared.
"Yes, I'm gonna do my best, but I can't guarantee you success. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find out what the king plan on doing. This job is very risky, we all know that. But as I said, I'll do my best".
"Please, do your best. And I promise you, if you can find out what the king plan on doing, I'd reward you greatly".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt..That statement boosted the assassin's morale to handle the job properly...he was gonna try his very best to find out what the king planned on doing.
But he wasn't gonna do it now, he was gonna wait for dusk to arrive before carrying out the plan. He doesn't want the knights around to catch him trespassing around the king's territory.
Asher had passed across the information, the person that was gonna handle the job had been chosen. What next? He left their midst hoping the assassin would handle the job properly and find out what the king planned on doing.
At nighttime, the assassin was already prepared to carry out the task. He was dressed in all black, and he made sure to cover his face with a mask. He was also with his sword.
The other assassins wished him good luck before he departed from their residence to go carry out the task. By now, he had already arrived at the nice buildings where the king was residing with his family.
He was a really skilled assassin, he was good at carrying out tasks. But he still had to be careful 'cause there were knights around.
Remembering Asher's words that he was gonna reward him greatly if he carries out the task properly and finds out what the king planned on doing, the assassin resolved to carry out the task properly, he was gonna do it with all his heart.
..He was gonna try his very best for the knights around not to notice him...he would make sure not to get caught.
Right now, he was squatting on the fence of the king's house, the fence that surrounded the whole building. Even if anyone glances at him at this moment, they wouldn't know who he was 'cause he was dressed in all black and was covering his face with a mask.
..In fact, you'll only get to see a shadow squatting on the fence when you glance at him.
Right now, he had made it to the ceiling of one of the buildings on the compound. There was more than one building on the compound. In this kingdom, the kings don't live in the palace. They go to the palace to handle issues and other things like that, but they don't live there.
They live in separate mansions with their families...the queen, the prince, the princess, and so on. It can also be princes, princesses, and so on.
..So right now, the assassin was squatting on the ceiling of one of the mansions on the compound.
What he was doing now was very risky, but he had to keep doing it. He made it to the ceiling of the mansion, and none of the knights noticed him. What he needed to do now was locate the king, he could be inside one of the mansions already.
If that were the case, then the assassin would find it really hard to discover what the king planned on doing to find out the person behind Aiden's capture.
He was still thinking of how hard it was when the king strolled into the compound with some knights following him from behind and some messengers. And at that moment, the assassin ducked a little.
'So he isn't inside yet, he's just arriving home'. The assassin thought to himself.
The moment they strolled into the compound, the king glanced at all the knights and said to them,
"You all can go back to your duty posts".
And with that, all the knights departed from his presence. Then the king focused his gaze mainly on one of the messengers and said to him,
"I trust you more, so I want you to do something for me, you're gonna handle this job alone".
"What is it, your majesty?". The messenger inquired of the king.
"I want you to find a really good mind reader, someone that possesses the ability to read minds. This is concerning what happened to Ethan's son, one of the average-ranked chiefs in this kingdom. It could be one of the officials that captured his son,
I want a mind reader to search through their minds and uncover the truth, the person that captured Ethan's son. If the person is among them, a mind reader would be able to expose the person". The king voiced out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd with that, the messenger nodded his head and said, "I'll do just that your majesty".
Hearing that, the king began strolling toward one of the mansions.
And guess what? That assassin on the ceiling heard everything. Look at how easy it was for him to discover what the king planned on doing...he didn't have to stress that much.
And at that moment, this was the thought that ran through the assassin's mind, 'So the king plan on using a mind reader to expose the person? Now, that's a really nice plan. There's no how the person wouldn't be exposed to a good mind reader,
All I have to do now is stalk the messenger to know where he's gonna find the mind reader that would do the job. It's a done deal'.
..What was the assassin's plan? To trail the messenger closely.
He was gonna do it in such a way that the messenger wouldn't notice him. He doesn't plan on telling Asher what he's discovered yet. He was gonna trail the messenger first, discover where the messenger was gonna locate a mind reader, then give Asher the whole information.
That night, he went home, changed up as he wasn't looking like an assassin anymore. He didn't even tell his fellow assassins what he's discovered before leaving the house again with some belongings.
He made his way to an inn where he spent the night, an inn that was close to the king's mansions...where the messenger was residing. He did this so he wouldn't miss track of the messenger, so he'd be close to him and start trailing him at the right time.
..And that's what the assassin did, the next day, he began trailing the messenger.
He followed him from city to city as the messenger kept making inquiries looking for a close by mind reader. As known, mind readers weren't that many, and they weren't easy to find as well.
The assassin kept trailing the messenger until he found a mind reader. And according to what he was seeing, the person was female.
He was standing from afar while watching the messenger converse with the woman...but he knew he needed to get close to them to hear their conversation.
..He wanted to hear what they were talking about.
