Chapter 160 – Assassination Family Raven 2 (19)
Was it around 3 o’clock? I heard Ada come down from upstairs, sobbing.
Esther, who was reading a picture book out loud next to us, ran towards the stairs where Ada was coming down.
“Mom!”
Esther ran with her silver hair flying and raised her hands and said.
“Daughter, were you playing well?”
Ada, who looked similar but seemed to have grown calmer, bent down to be at eye level with Esther.
“Yeah! I was having a good time.”
“Really? Well done.”
Ada held Esther tightly in her arms and she stroked her back gently.
Then she held Esther’s hand and came up to us sitting on her sofa.
“Did the guests have a good time last night?”
“Yes. I slept comfortably.”
“Did it somehow disturb our sleep?”
“Yes. I slept really well because we were on different floors and the door was closed. Haaam. I slept well, but maybe it’s because I ran a bit yesterday? I’m still tired. Furthermore, I guess I’ll just rest today.”
“Mom, are you going to rest today? Rest!”
Esther said in a very bright voice when she heard that her mother was taking a day off.
“Really? Yes. It would be better to rest.”
Ada, speaking in a languid voice different from her daughter’s bright and lively voice, sat on her sofa and closed her eyes with Esther in her arms.
I think you’re trying to sleep again? She thought that Esther might not be her mother, who stayed at home and played with her instead of going out to do the work she thought she would do.
Wouldn’t it be nice to lock yourself in her bedroom and take a nap? Because mother and daughter have very different lifestyles.
“We are planning to stay at Spada until today and leave tomorrow. Since we rented the house for the night yesterday, shall we have dinner outside? We will buy it.”
“That’s good. Even though Jiorun is good at cooking, eating outside is different.”
Ada gently opened her eyes and she answered my words, then closed her eyes again.
Seeing that, Princess Rosette shook her head slightly.
We left the room so that her mother and daughter would not further ruin her time of interaction and relaxation.

I came to a good restaurant in Spada with Giorun’s family.
One reason I went there was because it was in the shape of a room.
If it was an open restaurant, a guy could see Ada and talk nonsense, so she chose this restaurant for Esther, who was going with her.
It was a luxurious restaurant with enough rooms, and the prices were high, but since Princess Rosette had a lot of money, it wasn’t too much of a burden.
As I sat down and waited, a simple salad as an appetizer arrived.
Esther, wearing clean clothes unlike the comfortable ones she wore at home, smiled happily while eating salad with a fork.
When I tried it, the fresh vegetables were neatly prepared and the sauce was sweet but refreshing, probably because it was a special sauce.
“Daughter, is the salad delicious?”
Ada, who was dressed in more classy clothes with less exposure than the clothes she wears to work at the bar, asked Esther, who was diligently eating salad with a fork.
“Yes! It’s delicious!”
As soon as she answered, she looked at Esther, who was eating salad again, and then Ada spoke to Geo Rune Crow.
“My daughter eats it so well? Should Dad do it for her next time?”
“Even when I make it at home, I don’t eat it well. Is the place where you eat really important?”
“Is that so? When I tried it, the sauce tasted similar to the one you made. Do you think the location is also important?”
Georun Crow has never made salad for us, but it seems like it tastes similar at home.
Do you think it would be better to change your identity to that of a restaurant owner rather than a disguised identity like Gigi Seobang?
“Does the rosette fit well in your mouth?”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
There were quite a lot of foods I ate after leaving the Crow family, but none of them tasted that bad, so I never saw Princess Rosette dissatisfied with her meals.
The next dish arrived when we were almost done with the salad.
Food similar to ravioli, which can be said to be Italian dumplings, arrived and Esther ate it in one go.
I’m worried that she won’t be able to eat the main meal properly.
After some time, the main steak and the French fries to go with it arrived, and Esther ate half of the steak cut by Georun and put down her fork as if her stomach had reached its limit.
Jiorun saw that and said to me.
“Sian, would you like some more steak?”
“It’s better than leaving food behind.”
Esther’s leftover steak was split in half and eaten by me and Jiorun Crow. Esther, who was spending time patting her stomach, showed her will to eat the sorbet for dessert even if her stomach was full.
Seeing that, Ada and Princess Rosette burst into laughter, and Georun Crow also looked at Ada with an adorable look.
*
On the way home from the restaurant, Esther was sleeping on Georun Crow’s back.
Perhaps because he ate more than his limit, he stumbled while walking while holding the hands of Georun Crow and Ada, and eventually fell asleep.
“Hey, Sian.”
I thought there was a reason why Ada carefully called me out.
“Yes, Ada.”
“Is Jiorun forever a member of the Crow family?”
“There is no way to change the roots, but there is a way to escape the constraints. Why do you ask that?”
“I want to quit my job. I know it’s hard to see my work having a positive impact on Esther as she grows up. I think I can do well if I go to a distant village where no one knows me and open a restaurant with Georun. Furthermore, I cook. Even if I don’t know how to drink, wouldn’t it be helpful because I know the taste of alcohol well?”
Ada suddenly revealed to me her future plans.
Jiorun Crow’s expression hardened after hearing that story.
“Ada. What are you saying…”
“To do that, you have to leave Sparda, but you can’t leave Jiorun, right? Besides, it would be nice to have a younger sibling, but having a younger sibling disappear as soon as you’re born…”
“Sian, I think Ada is talking nonsense because she doesn’t drink.”
She didn’t drink, what bullshit? Geo Rune Crow pushed Ada slightly while carrying Esther, but Ada continued her speech.
“I want to tear down the wall between us… But the wall seems so solid. I want to ask the person flying on top of the wall.”
I heard that the first time Georun Crow met Ada was when Esther was in the boat.
Since Esther is six years old, she has been together for almost seven years, so even if they were a couple who needed each other, it would be enough for affection to blossom.
This is how to avoid being an intelligence agent for the Crow family.
“The job of an intelligence agent can be stopped if a successor comes to the area, but the child must undergo an examination at all costs. The ability to learn Shadow Mastery is expressed in the blood of both families. If you do not have the talent, you can get it back without any problem. “
“Huh…? I held back until now because I didn’t know what would happen, but it turned out to be easier than I thought, huh?”
Rather than being an assassin of the Raven family, an intelligence agent of the Crow family is someone who stays in a designated village and collects the village’s internal information and sends it to the Crow family.
He’s just a person who collects information about the village, so it’s hard to be replaced? That’s not it.
In fact, anyone can do it as long as they are trained in basic hiding skills and the skills necessary to collect information and are sincere.
The reason we use those people as members of the Crow family is because they are definitely educated by the family and can be trusted.
“Intelligence agents do not stay in one area for that long. They change places of work or return to their families after about three years at most. It can be said that it is unusual that Georun stayed in Sparda for seven years. And, without support, such a large city Seeing how he handled it alone, it seems like he really didn’t want to leave Ada.”
“Hmm. Sian.”
“Jiorun, did you do that?”
“But right now, the family is not in a normal state, so I’ll keep it in mind and tell you when things get back to normal.”
“Really? Thank you!”
Ada bowed her head slightly to me and walked closer to Georun Crow, who was carrying Esther.
Geo Rune Crow’s face was slightly red as if he didn’t like Ada like that.

When I arrived home with the three of us, we packed our bags.
There are only two backpacks, but they contain a large sum of 11 gold.
“Since a successor has not been decided yet, it is okay to make a plan, but it would be better to take some time to implement it.”
“Hmm… Yes, I know.”
“I hope to see you next time with good news!”
Ada, who was standing next to Georun Crow, gave us a little wave, and Princess Rosette and I just bowed our heads slightly and headed toward the Crow family’s safe house.
After unpacking and washing our bodies in the safe house, we sat across from each other at the desk.
“I hope the two of you do well.”
“There is a variable that the Crow family is not normal now, but Georun Crow is at the age of retirement.”
“It’s hard for us to escape, and I’m a little jealous of that.”
“If you say that, 100,000 people will say that the princess is full.”
“In real life, it’s not that comfortable. If you’re talented, you have no choice but to compete with your brothers, and if you think there’s no harm, they try to recruit you as an ally, and the way to stay away from that political situation is to join the Raven family and decide who to kill, or an arranged marriage. Of course, I enjoyed eating, sleeping, and wearing clothes, but I wish I had been born in an ordinary family.”
“You could say that’s luck, too.”
There are Yoo Sian who lived a normal life but were separated from his family, and there is also Lee Sian whose world suddenly fell into ruin.
What was Cyan Raven like when she was young? That part was a little blurry.
The clue to the remaining 5% assimilation rate was that Cian Raven was a child when she was Cyan Crow.
“Then let’s decide on a destination, right? You’re planning to leave Spada by land tomorrow, right?”
“Is there anyone on the list?”
“Yes. It’s nowhere near.”
“Then let’s go in a direction where a lot of people will be leaving tomorrow.”
It doesn’t matter where you go, but incidents will occur in places where a lot of people gather.
“Huh. Really? I guess Xian is the type that doesn’t make plans more than I thought?”
“If I had been thinking, would I have had a fight with the devil today?”
“That’s true too.”
Princess Rosette covered her mouth and smiled slightly.
