An attacker appears, and as soon as they capture the attacker, someone claps?
Klein squinted his eyes and turned towards the sound. There stood a figure, cloaked and hat pulled low to obscure their face.
Without questioning who the suspicious figure was, Klein rushed forward, attempting to kick them, but the figure quickly dodged his attack.
While Klein continued to pursue and grab the collar of the figure, they again evaded his grasp.
But as the hem of the cloak was pulled, the figure’s face was revealed.
“You…!”
Recognizing the revealed face, Klein’s eyes widened. It was the Deputy Ambassador from Karisen.
“Are you insane? What are you doing in someone else’s country?”
Incredulous, Klein grumbled, then immediately called out for the guards without expecting an answer.
“Don’t you want to rise to a higher position than a concubine?”
Yet, the Deputy Ambassador didn’t run or show fear, but instead spoke to Klein.
“What?”
As Klein frowned and looked down at him, the Deputy Ambassador smiled broadly and repeated his words.
“The Duke said it’s a shame that Prince Klein’s outstanding talent is buried in the position of a concubine.”
“The Duke?”
At the mention of the Duke, Klein’s face hardened, but the Deputy Ambassador didn’t say which Duke he referred to, merely staring at Klein.
Klein laughed derisively at the brazen attitude.
“Are you mad? Dare to speak such words?”
Soon after, his voice turned icy, and Klein grabbed the Deputy Ambassador’s collar.
“I’ll punish you for treason.”
“Is it wrong to ask if the Prince, who is in the position of a concubine, wouldn’t aim for the position of the Crown Prince? Isn’t it a statement that a fellow countryman can rightfully make?”
However, even though his collar was seized and his voice was shaking, the Deputy Ambassador continued his nonsense with a smile.
“If it was like that, you wouldn’t have brought up the Duke.”
Klein, who lived and breathed politics, found the words outrageous, but the Deputy Ambassador remained calm throughout.
“Yes, so I didn’t mention the Duke.”
“Do you think I’d fall for such wordplay?”
Klein snorted and pushed the Deputy Ambassador away.
The Deputy Ambassador, who looked about to fall backward, quickly reached out to grab Klein’s cloak tie but could not support his weight with just the thin cord.
As the Deputy Ambassador fell back with a thud, Klein looked down at him coldly, ready to call the guards again.
“To recklessly punish a diplomat in Tarium is also an act of disrespect to the Tarium Empire.”
“!”
The Deputy Ambassador smiles, as if asking, ‘what will you do?’ Seeing this, Klein, who was even more angered, couldn’t hold back his harsh words.
“You bastard…?”
With his eyes fierce, Klein kicked the Deputy Ambassador in the ribs with all his strength.
“Your Highness.”
However, Axian, who had appeared from somewhere, held Klein back, preventing him from properly kicking his target.
As Klein’s foot barely grazed past the Deputy Ambassador’s body, he turned around in anger.
“Let go.”
“Vanil asked me to see you.”
“Don’t stop me.”
Although Klein commanded fiercely, Axian did not let go, instead calming him down.
“What he said is correct. This is not a matter to handle publicly.”
“Axian!”
“You’re exposing Karisen’s internal affairs. Please restrain yourself.”
“What did this bastard say…?”
“I heard it.”
Seeing Axian’s dark eyes, Klein realized that he too was as angry as Klein was. Despite this, his appearance suggested that venting his anger on the Deputy Ambassador wouldn’t help Karisen at all.
Though Klein did not want to bring disgrace to his country, even if it wouldn’t help, he reluctantly turned around.
“You’re right. I can punish him at any time. Or I could tell my brother…”
As he started to say, ‘You can talk,’ a strong smell of blood coming from behind forced Klein to shut his mouth.
When Klein looked back in surprise, the vice ambassador, who had somehow stood up, was stabbing himself with the knife the attacker had dropped earlier. Moreover, the location was his heart.
As their eyes met, the vice ambassador, who had been smiling, suddenly started screaming.
“I have to avoid this place so I won’t be misunderstood.”
Aksian quickly took Klein away from that place.
[This is the time separator]“Is he dead?”
As Klein, who had left the scene, asked while adjusting his disheveled clothes from the fight, Aksian nodded without hesitation.
“He must be dead. He stabbed right into the heart.”
“That crazy bastard. What was he doing?”
“What did he say?”
“Didn’t you hear it?”
“All I heard was that punishing a diplomat who casually came to another country is an act of disrespect towards the Tarium Empire.”
“You didn’t hear everything, did you?”
When Klein asked incredulously, Aksian replied as if it was a matter of course.
“I couldn’t possibly only have heard the end part. I didn’t expect him to die on the spot.”
Klein tossed his messedup hair back irritably. The mere thought of it made him flare up again.
