"Lord Felix!"
A catkin shouted as he walked into the room with a panicked look on his face. Inside the lavish room sat a white-haired man with white catlike ears, green eyes, and strong facial features. He was Felix Feline, Rune's brother and another contender for the successor's position.
*Picture*
"Leo, why are you panicking like that? This is very unlike you."
Felix commented with a calm look on his face.
On this matter, he resembled Rune a lot.
"It is the Assassin Group we hired! T-They say that they have already captured Lady Rune!" Leo, Felix's most loyal servant and a peak Saint Stage Cultivator reported with an urgent look on his face.
"WHAT!?"
Felix's shouted in shock.
"How is that possible!? They shouldn't be that capable!"
"I do not know how they did it, but…"
Leo extended his hand toward Felix.
Felix's eyes fell on the finger in Leo's hand, he picked it up and smelled it.
"It is Rune's…"
There was no doubt about it.
He didn't even have to check the content of the storage ring, that finger belonged to Rune.
"They sent this finger as a proof. They are asking for an 11-Star Artifact otherwise, they are going to release her." Leo reported.
"Were they hiding their strength…?" Felix questioned with an annoyed look on his face. He didn't like how things went awry from the start.
"That is most likely the case."
"We have no choice, I need to contact Aragorn," Felix spoke.
"…are you sure? What if it is all a trap?" Leo questioned with a doubtful look on his face.
"What kind of trap could it be?"
"Lady Rune might be alive. There are chances that she is suspicious of Aragorn, this all might be a trap she set to confirm if Aragorn is working for you."
"And how would she know which Assassin Hall we contacted? Not to mention the place where our man is hiding. The details of the Mission.
How would she know all that?"
"…what if the Assassin Hall contacted her and she came up with this plan…?" Leo replied.
"…"
Felix turned silent.
That was possible. Although Assassin Halls never do something like this since it would largely affect their image, Felix couldn't just disregard this theory.
"Then what should we do…?" He questioned with an uncertain look on his face.
"We need to see Lady Rune."
"Huh?"
"Whether they have captured her or not, we need to see it with our own eyes."
"What if that is the trap in itself? Tracing us through the people we used to give the mission isn't possible.
Even if Rune has her doubts that we are the ones who hired assassins to kill her, she won't have any evidence. Us being in the assassin hall would be a definite evidence that can be used against us.
And we can't send just any subordinate either, since if that Assassin Hall has actually captured her, then we need someone who knows about the entire situation and can deal with them."
Felix voiced his doubts.
"It is not like we have to go to them ourselves.
You can just ask for 'their' help." Leo spoke up.
