Her words managed to surprise me and caught me off guard.
"Assassination?" I asked, raising my brows.
The opposing faction actually planned that? Were they that impatient because I declared my support to Queen Eve?
My words carried a sign of authority from Castitas Church. While many Nobles converted to back Queen Eve to rise to the throne, it also made the other faction impatient.
"Underground City's assassin?" I continued, staring straight at Queen Eve.
"Most probably. The informant only told me that someone from the opposing faction, who wanted to make the First Prince into a puppet ruler, wanted to kill me to give you a warning."
"I see…"
As expected, my support tilted the scale to favor Queen Eve too much that the opposing party felt their position threatened.
'And they want to warn me by assassinating the Queen because they think I am not in the Capital City and are preoccupied with my Paladin job.'
