Chapter 413 – Assassination Family Raven 4 (34)
When I thought about it, I thought that the person who would be the child’s father returned after spending about a week with the women who were waiting for him, and that this was quite a welcome response.
In this class, it is said that if you have power, you can have many women, but in a world where this is the opposite, I felt a little heartbroken when I heard that my woman was seeing a lot of other men.
‘Even if it is natural, the human heart is not something that can be cut like a knife.’
I gently rubbed Princess Rosette’s belly, which did not show signs of pregnancy, and came forward.
“Then, I will meet the priest. If we can communicate, I think I can ease Rosette’s burden, but if not, I will collect the request fee right away.”
“I understand. I trust that Xian will do well.”
Princess Rosette’s face, who was glaring at me when I returned to Raven Mansion, suddenly had to spend a lot of money.
Thinking it was the effect of physical contact, I headed to the Crow family mansion where the priest was being held.
An intelligence agent from the Crow family was guarding the entrance to the detention room where I arrived while being greeted by employees who recognized me.
“Cian Raven, are you here?”
“I came to collect the request fee.”
“I understand.”
The intelligence agent who heard me immediately opened the locked door and I could see the priest kneeling and praying inside.
The priest, who had long brown and orange hair in a ponytail, opened his eyes when the door opened.
“Are you here to collect the request fee?”
There was no trace of life left in the eyes of the priest who was looking straight at me.
Since I returned from a day off, I thought there was a high possibility that I would have heard the news that Feldiv died by my hand, but I opened my mouth thinking that I might not have heard it.
“The commissioned Feldiv was a Hero candidate, but he was a villain worthy of an assassination attempt in exchange for your life, and he died yesterday.”
“Is that so? The Raven family is doing what the Holy Kingdom gave up on.”
The priest, who spoke with an expressionless face, showed no obsession with life even though he was informed that the object of revenge had died.
If you receive the request fee later, your desire for life will bloom as the target of your revenge is death. Is it because you are a priest? I was very helpless.
“There are ways to continue your life a little longer, but you don’t seem to have any ideas.”
The priest nodded his head slightly and looked straight at me and said.
“When my wife was killed by that bastard who was a candidate for Hero, I felt like everything I had learned in my life and all the time I spent in Celestialism had been denied. I have no more regrets in this world, so I just want to go to her wife’s side.”
Trying to understand what you’re supposed to kill is something you shouldn’t do as an assassin, but this guy certainly looked good to use.
Wouldn’t a priest who is not obsessed with life and denies his own life and religious life be able to replace Princess Rosette? I think he can actually become a better talent.
“I want to use you like that. Furthermore, I want you to live for one more year and do what I tell you during that time.”
“Are you telling me to suffer for another year? That’s right. I have no intention of becoming a priest anyway.”
The priest smiled with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and then looked around the room very quickly.
Since committing suicide was not an option in the first place to protect the doctrine, I think I started looking for objects around me that could cause self-harm.
I thought it would be difficult to keep him in this world any longer, and I thought it would be right for me to let him go, seeing as he was ruining himself.
“It’s a shame. I could have paid a little more for the request.”
I made a shadow sword using Shadow Craft and rested it in my hand. The priest smiled and closed his eyes.
“Thank you.”
Suddenly!
The priest’s head was separated from the body, and the body, which had stood for a moment, collapsed.
‘It seemed like a good idea to use a priest commissioned by the Raven family to judge the feasibility, but he was more determined than expected.’
If he hadn’t harbored such harsh feelings, the priest close to the head of the Holy Kingdom’s temple wouldn’t have asked the Raven family for revenge.
I left the room, leaving behind the corpse bleeding from the neck.
“Please clean it up.”
“I understand.”
The Crow family’s intelligence agent said as if it was no big deal.
Clients stay here to determine whether the client’s request is valid, and the Raven family assassin leaves after receiving the fee, so it is the intelligence agents’ responsibility to clean up.
There is no one more talented than this person to restore the room where the murder occurred to its original state.
In order to quickly erase the failure from my memory, I headed back to the office to inform Princess Rosette of the results.

After hearing that she had failed to appease her priest, Princess Rosette nodded her head slightly and spoke to me without much change in her expression.
“It might be easier that way.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Hearing that the assassination target has died is a kind of privilege, but if you receive the privilege of surviving for an extra year, you may have to acknowledge another situation.”
“That could be possible.”
Because it was the Raven family that proved that a person’s life is equally one.
Of course, the Raven family, who assassinate people by paying for their lives, is strange.
“From now on, I plan to leave more of the procedures to the Crow family. Since we are completely under the control of the Raven family, we will only have to distribute the final necessary tasks.”
“It certainly seems better when looking at the future. Wasn’t it already in progress?”
“Yes. It took a while, so I thought I could buy some time by using the priest, but I have to continue. Haha… I need to reduce the workload, but it seems like it keeps increasing.”
Princess Rosette let out a cute sigh and said.
“It can’t be helped.” There is no one who has knowledge in various fields and can utilize it.”
As for the people of the Raven family and the Crow family, as a result of checking in Shaiden, the educational process was biased to one side.
The two families put effort into learning the knowledge they possessed, but few people went out to learn outside knowledge.
Since members of the Crow family who have acquired outside knowledge while working as intelligence agents are often in charge of family matters, it is as if they have realized this on their own.
“I’m not particularly grateful.”
Princess Rosette was concentrating on her paperwork again, not really planning to show anything else until tonight.
I decided to stay away from Princess Rosette so that the piled up work could be completed quickly.
*
“Hehe…”
After having dinner together, Princess Rosette, who had finished the amount of work she had to do for today, was completely relaxed and smiling brightly.
She lifted her top to show me her soft belly, but probably because it was early in her pregnancy, it wasn’t noticeable at all.
“It’s not long now.”
Perhaps it was a side effect of the work mode, but Princess Rosette said something foolish.
“Even if I can’t do a rosette, it will take 9 months.”
“Starting is important. Now, I think it would be good to live a healthy life without being busy with work…”
There is a definite difference between not occurring and spending time after it has occurred.
I warmed Princess Rosette’s lower abdomen with my heated hands.
“Sian, just keep me warm.”
“I think so.”
Since I was in the early stages of pregnancy and had to be very careful, I didn’t even think about going to work at night.
While we’re together like this, I need to make an effort to completely relieve the fatigue from my body.
“By the way, Xian, how was the Hero candidate you fought?”
“He was the strongest of all the humans I have ever fought. I knew that only with that level of strength could I become a Hero candidate.”
When Princess Rosette, who was in my arms, heard those words, her body stiffened a little.
“Was it dangerous?”
“My body was at a level where I could lose weight. The reason I was able to win was because I was lucky.”
It would have been a little easier if Feldiv had waited until night instead of targeting Shaiden right away, but the surrounding environment was not good for me.
“I shouldn’t have received that mission… “I’m sorry.”
“If there is no crisis, growth stops, so we have to carry out difficult tasks.”
“I must avoid the assassination of the hero candidate as much as possible.”
“It would be better. And not all Hero candidates have such major flaws.”
After making sure that Princess Rosette fell asleep first, I got up from her seat and tried to use the Yeongshin Gong (連影神功), but stopped.
‘It might have a bad effect on the baby.’
I heard that staying in a place with abundant mana is good for prenatal education, so I think I should train a little further away.
If there are no people coming and there is enough shadow, should we go to the empty family room?
Although some time had passed since Terrance Raven left the room, the guest room was clean, perhaps because it had been cleaned by the occupants.
I sat in the head of the household seat a little away from the entrance.
As I watched the empty passageway from the end of the room, I felt something empty.
‘If the only way to appease that sense of futility was to kill people, then what on earth are you doing at the Magic Tower?’
It was a little frustrating because Kairendal Raven didn’t show up either.
Now, hero candidates will begin their activities in earnest and demons who wish for the resurrection of the devil will appear, but the housekeeping is not perfect either.
“Still, most problems can be solved with strength…”
I closed my eyes and used Yeonyoung Shingong.
Don’t be arrogant just because you beat the warrior candidate, but you should become strong enough to face the level 5 of this world.
