"Elven Empress Harloys and Roland (whose identity is also you-know-who) came under attempted assassinations simultaneously. The assassins 'Jade Flame' Sirar and 'Akaba's Wings' Venven died at the scene, while the assassin 'Iron Emperor' Sarwin was seriously injured, but managed to escape. The Mist Alliance has offered a great reward for Sarwin's capture…"
Before the next day's dawn even arrived, this shocking news astonished the entire Northlands.
Before it was even light outside, I reported to Reyne and the others that Harloys and I were still alright, and then we started analyzing this entire assassination incident.
Facing a veteran like myself who was far too much of an expert in matters of the soul, it would be impossible to lie. In fact, lies would only arouse my suspicion and vigilance. This meant that Sirar, who had disguised himself as Suana's messenger, had told me nothing but the truth in order to attract my attention and obtain my trust.
