Chapter 108 - Actions

As she read the document in her hands, a faint frown appeared on Beatrice's face.

"It's best if I take care of this before anything bad happens," mumbled Beatrice as she got up from her chair and placed the document on her desk.

In it this document, several conjectures of her father were written, one of which caught her attention.

The governor of the capital city of the Kingdom itself, Rostom Saw.

Although Beatrice was not fully sure that the Aepheovia Kingdom was interfering in the Lyon Kingdom, she didn't dare ignore this possibility, as it posed a critical threat to her family.

After all, although Beatrice could easily handle anything that was sent her way, her family could not do the same thing and would be in great danger if the Kingdom was invaded.

A few moments after that, Beatrice wrote a note before quickly placing it on the desk next to her, after that, she then secretly left her room.

...

Looking at the city before her, which was shrouded in the darkness of the night, Beatrice couldn't help but shake her head before suddenly jumping over the city wall.

Of course, this was not any normal city that Beatrice had targetted, rather, this was the capital city of the Lyon Kingdom, Yaso City.

At the same time, Yaso City was the richest and most prosperous city in the entire kingdom, by far.

Although not truly official, the city was separated into three areas, the Outer Area, where the common, and mostly poor people live.

The Inner Area, where the nobles and only the very richest of merchants could live.

As well as the core area, where the Royal Palace, as well as government institutions like the City hall, were placed.

After a few moments, Beatrice sunk into the darkness of the city and began sneakily moving around.

In only a few minutes, Beatrice quickly made her way through the outer area, reaching the unofficial area to the Inner City, still shrouded in Darkness.

Although the city hall was present in the Core area, Rostom Saw did not spend most of his time there, rather he liked to live inside his Mansion in the Inner Area.

As the Inner Area was much smaller than the Outer Area, using her speed Beatrice was able to quickly move through it, as evading the guards which swarmed it proved quite trivial.

Only about thirty seconds after entering the Inner Area, Beatrice had arrived in front of a luxurious mansion, causing a faint smile to appear on her face.

...

As she read through the list of names that Rostom Saw had just written for her, a faint smile appeared on Beatrice's face, causing her to turn her attention back to the governor of the city.

Right now, although Beatrice had used Dark Healing on him, to let him be able to write this list, Rostom Saw was in pretty bad shape.

Even before Beatrice tortured him and used Dark Healing on him, which had drained his vitality, Rostom was over fifty-five years old, at the same time, he had never trained to become a knight for a single day in his life.

"Useless trash," mumbled Beatrice, causing the governor, who now looked as though he was over seventy years old, to begin suddenly melting.

In only a few moments, the governor had melted and had sunk through the floorboards of his home.

A few moments after that, Beatrice disappeared from the luxurious mansion, as she now knew who her new targets were.

...

The next morning, in the Aephovian Embassy.

At this moment, three men stood together, staring at the report in front of them.

In just a single night, over a third of the entire Leonese political sphere had disappeared, from obscure government officials to the likes of Rostom Saw, the Governor of Yaso city, as well as two different princes.

"We need to report this to Sir as soon as possible, it looks as though nearly the entirety of the network has been destroyed!!" said one of the ambassadors as a distressed look appeared on his face.

The fact that nearly every single person on their side had been exposed meant that the entire spy network in the Kingdom of Lyon was likely compromised.

Hearing this, one of the ambassadors, a slightly older man, took action, taking the report into his hands.

"You two take care of anything that comes up, I'm going to report this right now!" said the man as he then began sprinting up the stair at a speed far beyond his usual one.

Looking at the quickly departing figure, the other two ambassadors couldn't help but shake their heads, a feeling of slight hopelessness emerging within them.

...

At a speed far beyond his usual one, the ambassador sped through the second floor of the embassy and eventually reached a single room located on the far left side of the embassy.

After only a brief moment of hesitation, the ambassador knocked on the door twice before suddenly opening it, not even asking for permission from the man inside.

But sadly, the moment he opened the door, the face of the ambassador froze.

His direct superior, Ambassador Rito Rosetti was being held by the neck by a hooded figure.

The ambassador could not discern the face of the figure, but through her hands, as well as the long white hair which spilled out of the hood, he could see that it was a woman.

If the ambassador had seen this happen to anyone else, he would have quickly jumped in to help, but the moment he saw this happen to his superior, he suddenly froze.

"Ambassador Rito, I really didn't expect to meet a fellow pursuer of truth out here in this place," said the hooded figure, as a rather sweet voice emerged from it.

"Go to hell..." mumbled Ambassador Rito as suddenly his head blew up, sending a wave of blood towards the old ambassador.

Interesting, the hooded figure was in no way dirtied by the blood.
