"...Until this is sorted out, no one should leave the palace unguarded. That is all for now"
Kendra the First Prince, Yukel the Second Prince, Shuta the Third Prince, Kaori the First Princess, and Yeli the First Princess of the Dormant's Kingdom are coming out from the Throne Palace, as well as all of their personal knights accompanying them, after being called by the King.
In the urgent meeting earlier, the King decided that each of his children would be assigned elite knights to accompany them until they sorted out the incident. Kendra, Shuta, and Kaori have their own elite knight accompanying them, while Yukel who lost Bazel will be assigned another knight.
"Yeli, are you sure you won't stay within the palace?" (Kaori)
"It's fine, Kaori. Arlan will protect me. Besides, we have a mansion within the noble district so we have enough protection" (Yeli)
With a worried expression, Kaori asked Yeli while reassuring her to stay in the palace.
'Is that the kid? How the hell both of them failed against a kid like him?'
At the other side of the hall where Kaori and Yeli are talking, Kendra the First Prince quickly glances at the person next to Yeli, a young man currently acting as Yeli's personal knight.
'I shouldn't visit Bazel for the time being. Now, the assassin, how should I deal with him?'
"Kartein, let's go" (Kendra)
"Yes, Your Highness" (Kartein)
Everyone leaves the hall shortly after.
That night, at the jail in the lowest basement of the barrack.
A lizard-kin male was cuffed from top to bottom with magical chains, rendering him immobile. His body is full of blood, and swollen skin from the beatings during the interrogation. He is put in the most protected jail.
Outside his cell, 10 guards are guarding the jail area where there are only 4 cells in this deepest part of the basement. Each cell has quite a distance from the others which made the prisoner impossible to see who or what is in the other cells but still visible to all the guards in the area.
"Spit* Compared to the kid, their beatings were child play. How should I escape this place?"
[You have failed the client] (Unknown)
'!! Tertier**!?'
[T-Tertier! I apologize! The target was–] (Shantarkan)
[This is your third failure. You will be excused no more] (Unknown)
[But–!!] "Kuak!" (Shantarkan)
Shantarkan, the lizard-kin prisoner, was about to complain further when he spat blood from his mouth. In the quiet jail, his voice can be heard by the guards. This alerted the guards and in an instant, all of them form a formation toward Shantarkan's cell only to be surprised.
With a dangling torch in his cell, the guards can see Shantarkan's face from outside the cell and there they see blood coming out from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
"Someone call a healer! Open the cell and quickly check on him!"
"NO!! GET IT OUT OF ME!!" (Shantarkan)
Shantarkan was wriggling around in pain. He kept banging his head on the chain and the chair aggressively.
"Stop moving, you bastard! Did you still have some hidden poison!?"
"PLEASE!! LET ME LIVE!!" (Shantarkan)
"W-what the hell happened with his head!? Get away! Quickly!"
Shantarkan's head is expanding as he wriggles in pain. It was a drastic change that the guards quickly took notice of it. All the guards swiftly left the cell, putting up a magic barrier. As soon as the barrier was up, Shantarkan's head exploded and extinguished the torch lamp on the ceiling in his cell.
