Ikeda

Rewen cleaned his face, wore a new set of clothes given by a servant and walked down to the living room. He saw Hase and Ryu's father sitting down on a sofa and talking with each other.

"Are you sure it's a Silver-ranked?" Ryu's father asked in a low voice.

"I'm sure." Hase answered.

"Oh? Rewen, you came." Ryu's father noticed Rewen approaching them. He had heard of his name from his nephew, Hase. He figured that 'Rewen' probably wasn't his real name but didn't care much. All he needed to know is that he is a Central Noble.

Rewen took a seat beside them. "So if I'm not pushing my bounds, who were the assassins?"

"We deduced that they were local assassins. Professionals would not be this dumb."

"Dumb? Uh, I see. But my question is, how come you are so sure that the assassin wasn't after me?" It was indeed dumb for the assassins to attack them at daylight and that too, in a crowded place.
