Tasir tried to slowly lower his hands, but when Latil pressed the sword tip against his throat, he quickly returned his hands to their original position and quickly explained.

“Isn’t it necessary to do national work, such things. Things that are dangerous from the bottom, that absolutely have to be done, but cannot be done within the bounds of legality.”

“What things?”

“For instance, when it’s certain that a criminal is harmful to the country, but they’ve destroyed all evidence ahead of time so there’s no use taking them to trial….”

“!”

“Strictly speaking, the Black Forest isn’t an assassination group, but a group that does such tasks.”

“Why are they known as an assassination organization then?”

“Because we need to divert public attention.”

“As an assassination group?”

“Yes. So when we deliberately commit an assassination, we leave a mark, so as to divert people’s attention. So that people would think that anything other than assassination wasn’t our doing.”

“……”

While it made some sense, it wasn’t something that could be readily believed. The person who could confirm this, the previous Emperor, was not in his grave. Maybe having the same thought, Tasir grumbled.

“Should I show you the documents stamped with the seals of the previous Emperors that we have kept?”

The Emperor’s seal could not be counterfeited. It was because the prime minister inserted holy power into it, there was a surefire way to distinguish it.

Latil slowly lowered her sword, but she was still on high alert.

“But why didn’t you come to see me during the grand ceremony, but came like this, Tasir?”

Tasir rolled his eyes and slowly opened his mouth as Latil once again grabbed the hilt of her sword.

“I’m honestly worried that you’d be upset with my answer, but……”

“Speak.”

“Honestly, it was a situation that was hard to trust even for us, regarding Your Majesty Latrasil.”

Latil’s eyebrows twitched.

“You find it hard to trust me?”

“You were one of the suspects who assassinated the previous Emperor… I mean, it’s not good to hit me.”

When Latil made a move, Tasir quickly stepped back and said. Latil released her clenched fist.

“I won’t hit you.”

She didn’t clench her fist to hit him. It was a reaction to thinking about the letter that was left at the tomb of the previous Emperor. The words that Latil had killed the previous Emperor.

“When one person says such a thing, it’s nonsense. But it was suspicious when a completely different person, moreover, someone from my father’s secret group, considered me a suspect.”

‘Anyone can see that I am on the losing end due to the emperor’s death. Why would they think like that? Or could the one who left the letter possibly be Tasir?’

“Why? Why did they consider me one of the suspects?”

Latil asked, keeping silent about the letter matter for now. Instead of responding, Tasir sneakily glanced at Carlein. It seemed difficult to talk in his presence.

“Leave, Carlein.”

Latil issued a command to Carlein, wanting to hear the rest of Tasir’s words.

However, instead of leaving, Carlein stood firm saying, “It’s dangerous.”

“Nothing is confirmed yet, Master. What the author speaks of as the ‘Emperor’s dark organization’ is still just an assertion.”

Instead of getting angry, Tasir formed a small, ripped smile and pointed at Carlein with his finger.

“If we were to discuss danger, Your Majesty. Wouldn’t Carlein be more dangerous?”

What’s he talking about now? As Latil raised her eyebrows, Tasir explained with a mocking tone.

“The Black Reaper’s Order is a notorious group that will do anything for money. Isn’t that so, King of Mercenaries? You guys don’t take assassination orders for a single person, but you’d go anywhere and swing your sword if you’re paid, cutting down dozens, hundreds of people. Those who’d kill yesterday’s clients the next day, calling us who are loyal to only one person dangerous……”

“……”

“Is a shitcovered dog barking nonsense at a pretty loyal dog?”
