Chapter 14 - Fools Never Stop Sinking 【POV: Sullivan Nommes】 I followed Zaill deep into the town’s back alleys until we reached a small, isolated bar. “The place may seem small, but they serve very fine wine. It is the sort of place only connoisseurs frequent, so we will be able to drink in peace and quiet.” “Hmm, fine. Not bad at all.” We entered the dimly lit bar and I noticed there weren’t any other clients. A white-haired man was wiping glasses behind the counter. “Have a seat here,…-

Chapter 18 - The Final Struggle 【POV : Sullivan Nommes】 “Shit!! Why haven’t they reported back yet!!” I was sitting on a chair in my room in house Nommes, nervously tapping the armrests. I tried my hardest to contain my irritation these past few days. Two weeks ago, I met a man called Zaill in a tavern in town. He introduced me to the band of assassins 『Fangs of Steel』, to whom I requested the murder of Dyngir Maxwell. The man from the 『Fangs of Steel』 accepted the request, saying…

Chapter 15 - The Lance Maiden is Relatively Easy “Hnn! Haah! Yaah!” “Hoh, phew, hah, mph.” The silver-haired beauty — Shana continued swinging her lance. The lance she was wielding now was a wooden one, so it was not lethal per se, but, if it struck a critical spot, it could still cause bone fractures. Each one of her strikes was meant to defeat the opponent before her, but I dodged all of them relatively casually. “And that’s all, folks!” “Khuh!” I waited for the perfect timing to…

Chapter 19 - The Hero’s Bracelet “Haha...hahaha...” “What…?” Sullivan started laughing all of a sudden, so Lowen frowned. He then noticed that Sullivan was now wearing a silver bracelet and looked at him, wide-eyed. “What’s that bracelet!? Men, restrain him!!” “Yes sir!!” Lowen did not know what the bracelet really was, but he was sure it was a magic tool — so he immediately ordered his subordinates to move. However— “Gwaaaahhh!!!” Sullivan roared and swung his…

Chapter 16 - A Midnight Visitor In a small town located in the eastern province of the Lamperouge kingdom… In a building immersed in complete darkness, voices could be heard. “A request has been received from Sullivan Nommes for the assassination of Dyngir Maxwell.” The presence in the darkness rustled ever so slightly. Several other presences surfaced, then another voice echoed in the dark. “Hohoho...for the disinherited crown prince to wish for the death of the eastern hero. How…

Chapter 20 - How to Kill an Immortal “MAXWEEELLLL!!!” “You don’t need to shout. I can hear you just fine.” Sullivan swung his fists at me repeatedly. I dodged each one, stepping to the right, left, front, and back as needed. “Hey, Sullivan. I’m not the petty person you seem to think I am, you know. I said something different when I scolded you, that’s true, but I don’t throw away a person after a single mistake.” I talked, even though I was fully aware that he wasn’t listening.…

Chapter 9 - Puberty is Awkward for both Parent and Child Margrave Maxwell manor, study. I was sitting at the desk, looking at documents, a rarity for me. I was more of an outdoor person: even for work, I usually preferred to be in the field, giving orders directly. Not everything could be done that way, of course, so sometimes I took care of the paperwork. Presently in the study, there were only two people: me and my father, the current Margrave Maxwell. It felt somewhat awkward working alone with…

I, Burt Rosais, the current head of the house of Rosais, read the contents of the letter sent by house Maxwell and grumbled to myself. 『I offer heartfelt congratulations for Prince Sullivan’s marriage into the family of Baron Nommes』 Congratulations...so the letter said, but this was, for all intents and purposes, a threat. The…
