Chapter 200.5
The thought had always been in Lawrence’s mind, even if the impetus came from the Crown Prince’s statement.
“Your Highness Lawrence…?”

“–Tch.”
Elam missed his target and immediately left the scene.
His plan was to leave the bloody knife hidden by dark magic on the unvisited terrace and snipe with an arrow made by dark magic – that was it.
Elam’s [Dark Arrow], a dark magic, was his original magic, but unlike other attributes, releasing a particle of darkness as an arrow did not result in much of a wound.
However, it was difficult to detect a dark arrow released at night, and even if only one of the three people present, there had been wounded, the objective would have been achieved.
If the princess was hurt, the position of the third prince would be harmed. If the third prince was hurt, the girl, the princess’s bodyguard, would be set up as the culprit.
The facts were not relevant. If there was a knife to prove it, the testimony of the individuals themselves would be meaningless, and all that remained was for the people around them to make a fuss, and the relationship between the third prince and the Kingdom of Cleydale within the empire would collapse.
It was said that a rank 4 Warrior would be able to avoid an arrow shot at him and a rank 5 Warrior would be able to catch an arrow shot at him. However, it was impossible even for a rank 5 Warrior to avoid a dark arrow shot from within the darkness.
