"So what are you going to do now?"
Clare Melvix stared at Jarvin who had a frown on his face right at the moment. He had just gotten the information of Vertel escorting Zick to academic city a while ago.
Clare had a cold expression on her beautiful face, she also knew about what Jarvin was planning on doing, she even supported his plan of assassinating Zick wholeheartedly. Zick had become an Eyesore to her for a long time.
But now a variable appeared in their plan, Vertel, a master swordsman who was supposed to be taking care of the demons invading the Cravion kingdom, had come back.
Not only that, Vertel is going to be escorting Zick to the academic city now.
The assassin guild would without a doubt not take up a job of killing a master swordsman, even Clare and Jarvin themselves did not want to kill Vertel. He is just too precious to be killed, only people with enough talent and effort are able to reach the master swordsman rank. Even in the whole first continent there are no more than 50 of them.
'.....this situation is not good....'
The only person who could order Vertel to come back was the current head of the family, Zevkoras, so it was apparent to them who had called him back. This action shows how much Zevkoras holds Zick in high regards.
This just increased Jarvin's killing intent towards Zick.
'I can't let him live.'
Jarvin started thinking about what he can do to fix this situation, there was no way for him to stop Vertel from escorting Zick.
Jarvin supported his chin in his hand and thought of all the possible things that could be used.
Right at the moment, Jarvin sat upon the bed with pure white sheath and pillows. Clare stood right in front of him, looking at him with a Red hand fan covering her lips.
A maid with a cold expression stood at one corner of the room with her head bowed.
"Wait.....Ceslia did you say the assassin guild were going to assassinate the princess of the Pheorous kingdom?" Jarvin asked with a serious expression while looking at the maid in the corner of the room.
"Yes." A cold voice left her lips.
"Tell me everything about it."
"the person who ordered this assassination is unknown, the most likely suspect is the current king of the Pheorous....." Ceslia started speaking like a machine but her words were cut off by Jarvin.
"Just tell me about the specific on how the assassination is going to be carried out." Jarvin said in a plain tone.
"Yes...As the princess is going to attend the academy soon, she will be heading towards the academic city soon, the assassination will be carried out by two master assassins, one would....."
She started speaking like a machine again but stopped after seeing Jarvin raising his hand towards her direction.
"I see...."
A smile appeared on Jarvin's face as he calmed down, slowly a plan started forming in his head.
"Do you have a plan?" Clare asked with expectation clear in her voice.
"Yes." Jarvin smiled towards Clare and started walking towards the table beside the window of his room.
Taking out a paper and pen from the drawer, Jarvin started writing with a big smile plastered on his face.
'There is no need to kill Vertel, they just need to keep him occupied and then kill that bastard.' Jarvin had started calling Zick a bastard in his head for a while now.
After finishing writing on the paper, Jarvin checked it for once and then passed it onto Ceslia.
"Send this to the person planning on assassinating the princess through the assassin guild."
"Yes." Bowing towards Jarvin, Ceslia started walking out of the room.
'Let's cooperate for now whoever you are.....'
Jarvin thought as his eyes shined with expectations.
The carriage of both Zick and the princess would intersect at a point in their journey but there was a little time difference but Jarvin wasn't worried about it.
'I just have to delay the princess carriage using bandits or something...'
Jarvin knew that he wouldn't get any chance to kill Zick once he entered the academic city so it was best to kill Zick before that using any means possible.
It takes a lot of money to hire two master assassins but Jarvin was willing to pay it, he can even borrow some money from his mother if need be.
But master assassins were more rarer than a master swordsman, so Jarvin could only join hands with this unknown person and use the master assassins hired by him along with his own.
'four master assassins.....the assassin guild would be moving around the whole continent to gather them in a while.'
**************
Zick stood in front of a carriage and looked at the two servants who would be taking care of the villa in the academic city.
Zevkoras had called priests from the goddess of fairness, Fiona's church and made the two servants make an oath right in front of Zick.
The two servants were, a woman in her 20s who Zick had seen many times in the estate, she had light green hair and brown eyes. The other was an old man in his 50s with white hair and black eyes, They were both normal humans.
"Introduce yourself" Zick said this with an emotionless tone.
"J-jescere sir! " The maid said, performing a 90 degree bow towards Zick.
"Deves sir" The old man in butler dress did a simple bow towards Zick.
After hearing their names, Zick sent them off to the other carriage at the back of the one he will be riding in. Well it was more of a caravan than carriage as they would not prepare it just for seravnts.
Sending them away, he looked at Butler Von who had a leather bag on his back.
"Put it within my carriage." Pointing at his carriage, Zick said this. There is no way he would leave the dragon eggs in the estate.
Butler Von nodded his head with still a stoic expression and walked towards the carriage.
p
"Okay." Zick said plainly to Vertel not bothered by his gaze.
Vertel stared at Zick's eyes for a second which looked normal unlike their prior meeting, then started heading towards the other knights preparing to depart. He didn't need to kneel towards Zick, His only master is the head of the Melvix family, Zevkoras.
Zick right at the moment did not have his vertical eyes, he had used magic to camouflage his eyes back to how it was while he was still a human.
Zick's eyes had already turned vertical to a noticeable degree before becoming a humanoid dragon. At that time he still did not have the ability to make a magic which could fool the senses of a master Swordsman which led to Zevkoras and Jarvin knowing about his vertical eyes.
They did not ask anything about it but, still they were offended for some reason looking at those vertical eyes. The vertical eyes made them feel like they were nothing but preys in front of it.
Zick had always used magic to hide his vertical eyes from the other heirs or the servants.
And now even Vertel knew as Zick did not try to hide his vertical eyes while talking to Zevkoras in the estate Lords room. If he did hide it, there would be no difference than revealing his talent of using magic by fooling a master swordsman's senses.
Well Zevkoras will still get to know about it through Vertel afterwards and become suspicious of Zick.
'But it doesn't matter then...'
Thinking this, Zick started walking towards the carriage. Right at the moment he wore an white shirt with a golden emblem on the chest and black pants. He had the blood red earring in his ear too.
'.....I will spend one whole year in between kids huh...'
This random thought appeared in his head but he didn't think about it much and sat within the carriage seat on the opposite side of the bag with dragon eggs.
It didn't take long for the carriage to start moving.
