Chapter 650: No rest for the dead
Inside an inn, the dwarven merchant family, the ones who had entered Lustburg recently, were ready to execute their tasks. A thing to note was that they were not clad in black. They simply wore their usual clothes. Experienced assassins as they were, they knew that the best way not to be noticed was to look like everyone else.
After a little research, they managed to collect information about Theresa’s whereabouts. Theresa was not particularly elusive or hiding her location after all.
After the war, she would either spend her time in some bar or stay in the Hermes mansion.
Duke Hermes had the blood of dwarves running in his veins and had kept many connections with Greed Dike, accumulated throughout his life. Even now he was one of the main emissaries lobbying for peace between the two kingdoms.
In their initial plan, they would have met Duke Hermes at his mansion under the guise of messengers from Greed Dike, and with a blitz attack, they would have either captured or eliminated the duke swiftly.
Even though Hermes was also in the Duke realm, there was just no way he could be their match.
Their first and main objective was to eliminate Theresa. Capturing her was only to be done if there was a decent possibility of that.
At least that was the initial plan. Now though, things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse before they had even made a move.
“How is the situation?” The mother dwarf asked. Her expression was taut and her hand was languidly resting on her dagger.
