A(lie)ment Isekai (Part 1)(Finished)

Chapter 16.1: Twist

"What do you mean? So you think its a traitor? You think it is one of us?" Scarlet asked.

" Unlikely. I can confirm that everyone on my shifts group of assassins is innocent, regardless of how sketchy all of us are."

"Hey!" Finlif took offense. "I'm not sketchy. I'm eccentric."

"Wait, you said 'my shift', you weren't including Hisel's group, right?"

"Definitely not. As his senior, I can definitely say he's more thieving than assassin anyday. He likes being flamboyant, and at nature, he's a fox; rather than just take the best paying customer, he'll try to scam one or the other, just to get the pay." She began to explain what's possibly going on. "For instance, after reading our contractual agreement given to me by the guild, it seems that the pay will be given out at the very end up the day in which guarding is over. And since our days ours hashed out odds and evens, with us taking evens on a 6 day event, it is fair to say that once they end up getting the pay on 5 days, Hisel's gonna dip onto the opposing party."

"Ugg, defending someone, not to mention having to deal with a traitor, how vexing...so, do we just report him?"

"No, I don't think he knows we are onto him. So, we can just continue as it is. On the very last day, we'll plan a defending attack. But for now, let's just try to find out a bit more on what's the opposing groups plan. I'll keep you guys posted. Just so you know, I want you guys to be ready to be dispatched at the moment's notice on our off day. Alright?"

We all ended up breaking the barrier and resuming our recession of activities as we ended up going to bed, to which I aimlessly stayed awake for a bit thinking on this situation.

Could Belle be a defector? Well, even so, if I get to get some training, I see no problem.

Still curious and hoping for answers, I ended up popping open the journal, to which I didn't really have anything specific on "what to do when there are traitors in a counterpart assassin party trying to kill a noble at a ball?" Though, it did end up saying that "As a Domain Lord, a moderator, one of your jobs is to observe matters, as well as exacting judgment..." So, perhaps in this instance, I should not worry, and follow Sierra's order.
