Chapter 208
――A story behind the scenes, a "hidden" stage.
When there's a dazzling "light," there's bound to be a "shadow."
And this is about that story.
"Hohoho, you're too careless. If you want to get past me, you'll need at least three times as much... No, even with that, it's still might be impossible."
In the shadows of the social gathering, the old man, known as the 《Gray Hound》 was making a scene. With hair that resembled the touch of silver, thick eyebrows, and a full beard, he had a certain look that resembled a certain old man. He was dressed formally, not in a tailcoat suit, but in a butler's uniform that was reminiscent of one. Just by looking at him, he seemed to be the true Margrave ―― or perhaps, he still appeared to wield tremendous power.
He was also present in the front of the "public" social scene. There, he controlled his <Gray Hound> to remotely hunt down the unwanted. And thus,
"The assassin is from that house, and this Shadow is from that house."
Sorting was being done,
"Excuse me."
