Chapter 1161: The Queen Looms (And IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT)
"You were able to dodge that?"
"Were you… sent by one of my brothers, or were you sent by the lady of this house?"

This was a shocking surprise for the assassin. She had already read the information given to her, and she had also done her own investigation—her target was supposed to be a good for nothing noble, not even capable of taking care of himself.
