Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 200.5

The thought had always been in Lawrence’s mind, even if the impetus came from the Crown Prince’s statement.

“Your Highness Lawrence…?”

Lawrence kneeled in front of her suddenly, and Elena let out a bewildered voice.

“Elena…will you be my wife?”

“–Tch.”

Elam missed his target and immediately left the scene.

His plan was to leave the bloody knife hidden by dark magic on the unvisited terrace and snipe with an arrow made by dark magic – that was it.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Elam’s [Dark Arrow], a dark magic, was his original magic, but unlike other attributes, releasing a particle of darkness as an arrow did not result in much of a wound.

However, it was difficult to detect a dark arrow released at night, and even if only one of the three people present, there had been wounded, the objective would have been achieved.

If the princess was hurt, the position of the third prince would be harmed. If the third prince was hurt, the girl, the princess’s bodyguard, would be set up as the culprit.

The facts were not relevant. If there was a knife to prove it, the testimony of the individuals themselves would be meaningless, and all that remained was for the people around them to make a fuss, and the relationship between the third prince and the Kingdom of Cleydale within the empire would collapse.

It was said that a rank 4 Warrior would be able to avoid an arrow shot at him and a rank 5 Warrior would be able to catch an arrow shot at him. However, it was impossible even for a rank 5 Warrior to avoid a dark arrow shot from within the darkness.

But that girl easily caught the arrow that was shot at her.

Elam could not believe what he saw with his own eyes. The moment that the girl’s gaze turned to Elam for a moment, he had lost all his composure and started running away with all his might.

Elam was a former assassin. He was not a member of the Assassin’s Guild, but an assassin who was a child of a certain nobleman, but when he was on the run after killing that nobleman due to circumstances, he was picked up by the Radwaan Trading Company.

At any rate, he must tell Radwaan about this. In that situation, she would never be able to pursue Elam, but in the worst-case scenario, he would have to pretend that he was dead and escape the country.

While running through the night in the capital, Elam heard the faint sound of a bard’s song coming from a tavern in the distance, which reminded him of something.

It was the story of a girl who defeated a guild of assassins and thieves, a song popular among adventurers and mercenaries, despite the ridiculous content of the foreign merchant’s tale.

What was the name of the song…? As he searched his memory, Elam recalled a story told by a thief who had drifted in from a foreign country with whom he was on business.

–Stay away from the “Ash Crowned Princess”.

“Boss, this is a bad time!”

The place was in a prime location in the imperial capital, around the castle. The old man in the back of the mansion stared at Elam, who was having a meeting with the Crown Prince’s relatives who were unable to attend the evening party, as he burst in.

“…You’re making a lot of noise, Elam. What’s going on?”

The old man, the chairman of the Radwaan Trading Company and the man who supported the concubine queen faction from behind the scenes, frowned at the appearance of Elam, the assassin he had put to work so many times.
