Chapter 102 - Wrong Words

Assassins weren't something I had anticipated and that failure was biting me in the ass. Rogue was one of the 5 main classes and dismissing the possibility of assassins was a rookie mistake.
It went to show how inexperienced we were at planning for war. We were lucky none of us had died from the attack. Jonathan and I were the worst off and he was already healed.
