Chapter 167 - Filler Chapter: Search and beat assassins - Part 1

Fiona, Amadeus and with the little girl have entered the Capital, and there they see the knights who are standing in their formation to wait orders for their leader, in this case it Amadeus since he is the most powerful warrior from this entire Kingdom. There were a few knights who were walking while they were leading by another knight from the Top 10 of the strongest from this Kingdom.

"What are we going to do now, sir?" asks a knight to Amadeus doing a bow in chivalry style.

"For now we are going to search for an enemy assassin." says Amadeus to knights who are serving this Kingdom, and to Fiona and at Ana. "I want all of you to take every house, building, corner, carriage, cart, everything from this kingdom. Search anywhere to find an assassin here. At the moment you've found one, you bring it here, while we are going to interrogate him either the hard way, or the easy way. Their choice. Understand?!"

"Yes, sir! Yes!" says the knights in unison and all of them are running around the Capital to find at least an assassin who is hiding there, like a beetle from a hungry stray cat.

Fiona is walking with her big sword at her back down the road, by herself. One knight, and that is Josh, comes to her, and she asks if he could help her. Which Fiona just said.

"If you can keep it up."

"Yes, ma'am!" says Josh who is already trembling because of these goosebumps he got when Fiona gazed at him with a deadly look.

Fiona and with Josh are walking to the streets of Dobrat looking around for any assassin who is having the courage to hide into this Capital Kingdom where a lot of knights are present here. While Fiona is walking around and is looking for any suspect movement at the moment, she cannot help it, but she is thinking what to ask Diana to cook tonight. "Maybe a sheep with eyeball soup would do good? Nah. Sheep eyes nowadays aren't so cheaper than last year. Maybe a Garlic bread with mashed potatoes? No. Yogurt with goat milk with mashed potatoes... I'll ask her when I get to our house."

***

A few moments have passed, Josh and with Fiona are entering a Tavern called "Puiu Han", a tavern owned by an owner which it is coming from Brit King Island and established a Tavern here. The owner sees the two knights entering his Tavern, and he welcomes them. But before he was able to say anything, Fiona is gazing at him, and she shows her sword at him.

"I know you are hiding something here. You better tell me, or otherwise I will crash this place."

"We already broke a Tavern," says Josh to Fiona. "Do you really want to end up with a fine again?"

"Josh. I can smell the assassin here."

"Assassin?" asks the owner having no idea what they are talking about there. "What assassin dares to put his foot on my beautiful Tavern?"

"One who can destroy the whole kingdom if you DO NOT TELL ME WHERE IT IS!" says Fiona in angry state, that the owner he runs to his counter and hides behind it.

"I don't hide nay assassins here. Only four people have come here."

"Who are those people?!" says Fiona walking at the counter and smashing with her sword, and it made the owner jumps away in fear and trembling because it was close to go to the other world.

"These fo-four were Tudor Aranghei. Ianis Iani, Aurel Pulache, an-and Mititicla Anca. All four of them have bought rooms upstairs."

"Great." says Fiona leaving the man alone with Josh, and she goes to the first floor, to check these four people the owner mentioned to Fiona.

As soon as she got there, screams were heard and sword sings were heard clashing into each other. Josh and with the owner looked at each other in fear, imagining what this brute was doing to those four customers. But in a matter of few minutes, Fiona came back from there, covered in blood of the victims she slaughtered, and she tells the owner in a cold manner.

"Your guests were the assassin of Yugara family. You got lucky they weren't about to attack. Later I will call some knights to clean up the mess those four knights were made there. Still..." she puts a bag of gold coins on the table, and she tells him in a cold manner. "Use these to repair the counter I broke."

"Y-Y-Yes. Thank you! Thank you! I am sorry!" says the man shaking and bowing in front of Fiona who was still glaring at him with a cold stare that it could make everyone tremble in fear at her presence.

Fiona is leaving the Tavern with her armor covered in blood, with her sword and blood and with a cold reaction on her face like all she did was her usual day at work. Josh however, is feeling intimidated by Fiona presence, and he is feeling scared. He still cannot believe that he is older than her, yet she is intimidating when she is taking her job as a knight seriously.

They walk at a few more houses and buildings, to check to see if there are any hidden assassins there. They checked a building where four kids were living alone as they were telling them. Fiona was asking the big kid there if he saw an assassin or a weird man dressed in a dark-green hood on these street. The big kid told them they haven't seen anyone there, and Fiona left them, there. Josh was giving a few coins to those kids, when Fiona wasn't looking, and he told them those coins were for their meals and all.

They got to a building who is used as for a blacksmith, and there they found a blacksmith who is beaten and next to him, it is the corpse of an assassin, with a dagger on his neck. Josh is quickly grabbing the body of that blacksmith, and he is using one of the healing potions he got at him. While he was trying to wake up the blacksmith, Fiona sees the assassin looking at her, and the assassin is doing an obscene gesture to her. Fiona takes out her giant sword, and she inserted into other assassin mouth, then cutting the head of that assassin horizontally from the position where his mouth is. Josh saw the thing Fiona did, and asks her.

"Was that necessary? We could've got some information."

"We already have a few probably thanks to the other knights who maybe captured any assassins." says Fiona taking the sword from the head, clean it with a towel he found at the table where the blacksmith is having some instruments. "Is he awake?" asks Fiona looking at the blacksmith who is lowly opening his eyes.

"Almost." says Josh to that blacksmith, he tries to carry it by himself, but he couldn't do it.

Fiona interfere, she takes the body of the blacksmith which is probably weighing about 100 or 150 kilograms. She puts the body on the table and after that, she heads outside from the blacksmith building, while Josh remains there to treat the poor man wounds he suffered from that assassin.
