Chapter 20: Succession Ceremony (1)
An impressive five-story stone building stands on the outskirts of the Agnes Empire's capital.
A big sign reading "Night of Rest" swings at the entrance. This building is a well-known inn in the city, a must-see for any overnight visitor.
However, the inn's name, "Night of Rest", holds a secret double meaning.
Rest, here, not only refers to a good night's sleep but also to the eternal sleep of death.
This inn is actually a front for one of the capital's most skilled teams of assassins.
"He was mad."
On the top floor of the "Night of Rest" building, the highest-ranking officials of the assassin's group meet, their faces serious.
"It's to be expected, considering we've messed up twice."
Number 1, the top assassin at the "Night of Rest", talks first. Number 2, face hidden behind a mask, replies.
