Assassination

Sharky naturally noticed this. As he looked over Jasmine's appearance.

She looked quite beautiful, but she was cute, although she was pretty and cute. Compared to the tall and voluptuous women, she just seemed ordinary.

Sharky knew she was the important person Selina talked about. Even though she hid it quite well, he could tell that her identity was not ordinary at all.

"She seems to be only 15 or 16 years old…"

He looked at Jasmine walking over and made that guess, feeling at ease.

Since she was only 15 or 16 years old, even in the chaos of the noble circles, she was most likely quite pure and would not have any complications tied to her. She was very different compared to the women around him.

As such, Sharky decided to get to know her and see.

In front of him, the girl slowly walked over.

"H-Hello…"

Walking in front of Sharky, Jasmine looked at him and stuttered, "Can I please dance with you?"

She spoke very softly, seeming very shy.

Jasmine was indeed feeling very shy recently.

Before, she had been gazing at Sharky from afar, but now that she had come before him, she was able to look at him clearly.

He was much taller than she had expected; just sitting there, he seemed very tall.

He was wearing a black robe and was tall and well-built. His long hair fell freely, and it was not combed with all kinds of fancy decorations. It simply fell naturally, seeming very gentle and agreeable.

His appearance was handsome and exquisite, and seemed incredibly charming.

In the past in the Court, she had seen many excellent and handsome men.

However, compared to Sharky, she felt that those men were not much and could not compare to him.

In front of her, he was sitting there with a gentle look on his valiant face as he gazed at her.

Looking at Sharky, Jasmine could not stop her face from becoming red, her heart thumping. She was almost too embarrassed to look up at him.

After saying those words, she did not say any more and felt incredibly embarrassed, worried that he would refuse.

She had never felt this feeling before, being worried that someone would reject her.

Sharky was silent for a moment before speaking, "Of course, you could."

"However, please agree to a request from me."

He looked at Jasmine with a kind smile as he said gently, "Try not to come to these events for adults in the future."

As he spoke with his soft voice, he looked at Jasmine and lightly smiled.

Jasmine's mind has become completely blank and her face directly became red.

She looked at Sharky and mustered up her courage as she said, "Mr Sharky… doesn't like me coming to such places?"

"It's not like that," Sharky smiled as he said, "It's that people of different ages do different things. Given your age, it's a bit too early to come to events like this. And from now on, I didn't want you to come to these events, because this is not good for you. Of course, this is just a suggestion."

He looked at Jasmine and lightly smiled as he said, "At the end of the day, it depends on your own feelings. No one else has the right to make your decisions for you…"

Looking at Sharky and hearing these words, Jasmine thought to herself.

One of her older sisters had said similar things to her before, but she spoke much more severely than Sharky.

For some reason, even though they were the same words, when Sharky said them, she did not feel as resistant.

She tilted her head to the side, not understanding too much.

A hand stretched out and held her hand.

As many women looked on with admiration, Sharky got up and lightly held Jasmine's hand.

They walked forwards and went to a corner as they began to dance.

Given Sharky's current body and its strength and suppleness, it would not be too hard for him to dance well.

In front of him, Jasmine moved together with him, her eyes tightly fixed on Sharky, looking at his face dumbly.

Only after the dance was over did she come back to her senses.

"Good job." Sharky warmly smiled and did not let go of her hand as he held her hand and slowly walked with her.

They both dance for some time, while Sharky looked around, and from their reaction he knew, they didn't know about Jasmine's mysterious identity.

"It's getting late."

Looking at Jasmine, he smiled, "Remember to rest early after getting back."

After speaking, he let go of Jasmine's hand and politely said his goodbyes before walking back towards his seat.

Jasmine somewhat absent-mindedly walked back to her seat.

The whole way, she could not help but think back to that feeling just then.

She could still feel the feeling of Sharky's palm, and even though they only had a brief encounter, his appearance was engraved in her mind.

Jasmine thought back to that feeling, and she still did not come back to her senses as she absent-mindedly walked back to her seat.

Whoosh…

A soft sound came from the sound, sounding like the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath.

"Watch out!!" Cries sounded out and women shrieked.

Hearing these voices, Jasmine instinctively turned.

She saw a silver dagger quickly coming towards her.

"Who!!"

The feeling of death appeared within her heart.

At that moment, Jasmine felt as if her heart had stopped, and her entire body became icy cold.

Terror appeared in her mind, and she found it difficult to breathe.

In front of her, there was an ordinary-looking female servant wearing a gray robe who suddenly pulled out a dagger and rushed at Jasmine.

Around her, there were more people gathering over here, looking at Jasmine with sharp killing intent.

"They want to kill me?

"Why?"

These people acted too quickly, and she could not react at all to this sudden threat.

Fortunately, at that moment, someone finally acted.

Whoosh…

A light wind blew out as a hand stretched out and sent that dagger flying.

Following this, a tall figure blocked in front of Jasmine.

Bang!

At that moment, that assassin was blasted backwards and heavily crashed into a wall.

Sharky silently stood in the center of the crowd.

He stood there with one arm around Jasmine and held a silver sword in his right hand, which gave off a faint light under the candlelight.

Around him, a few figures simultaneously rushed out, and the sound of swords being drawn could continuously be heard.

"Be careful!!" seeing this scene, many people cried out, feeling extremely nervous.

In the next moment, Sharky also started to move.

Suddenly, he vigorously slashed out countless strikes, all of the attacks bringing with them a wild wind, destroying all of the incoming attacks.

Bang!

Blood splattered out in all directions, and a few figures simultaneously crashed to the ground.

Without much noise, Sharky unleashed and displayed his power as a Knight.

In the whole process, he did not have any extra movements and kept one arm around Jasmine as he easily dealt with those assassins.

Everyone in the surroundings looked at Sharky in shock; even the coldest person could not help but look at him with lit up eyes.

"Sharky, my friend, are you alright?" Kelly's voice sounded out.

He strode over, and looking at Jasmine in Sharky's arms, he inwardly let out a sigh of relief before checking on Sharky with an ashen face.

"I'm fine…"

Sharky nodded and looked at Jasmine in his embrace as he asked, "What about you? Are you alright?"

"I… I'm fine."

Being embraced by Sharky, Jasmine's face became red as she nodded.

Sharky smiled and let go of her so that she could leave.

Jasmine somewhat absent-mindedly left; thinking of the scene from before, and how Sharky had attacked, she could not help but feel her mind go blank.

Sharky's expression was calm as he looked at Kelly in front of him, "They were all ordinary people; none of them were Knight Apprentices."

"However, none of them were weak, and all of them were well-trained elites. I don't know where they came from."

Speaking there, he could not help but frown, feeling quite confused.

"But how did they dare to come here? And even they entered your party? How did they even enter the city?" He shouted as his tone became angry.

Because the entrance of this Assassin was although not involving him any matter, but it will definitely involve his brother, who was taken to the security of Alexa Royal City.

And he needs to adjust some plans according to it.

"After I interrogate them, we'll know where they're from," Kelly said vehemently with an ashen face.

This was public humiliation to him.

This banquet was held by him and most people here were nobles. It could be said that they all had important identities and were not ordinary people.

If anything happened to anyone at this banquet, he would be in trouble.

Most people would not care how things had happened; they would just know that there was an assassination at Kelly's banquet.

If that was all, it would not have been too big of a deal. However, Kelly had seen clearly that they were aiming for Jasmine.

With Jasmine's identity, if anything happened to her…

Kelly could not help but shudder, unable to imagine the terrifying consequences.

If they had assassinated Jasmine, the entire Alexa Royal City might have fallen into chaos, and Kelly would be doomed. Even his father, a Count, would not be able to protect him.

But thinking about this, he has forgotten that Sharky has asked some questions, and he was angry for the first time.

"Did you forget what I asked you?" Sharky asked as he looked at Kelly.

"What?" Kelly asked, he didn't understand, why Sharky was angry.

"I asked how they entered your party? But this is not most important, how did they enter this city? This is most important," Sharky asked, as he looked towards Kelly, anger clearly showing in his eyes.

"I don't know, why does it matter to you? And how can you talk to me like that? Don't forget my father is count," Kelly replied, because the way Sharky asked him, it was more humiliating.

"Huh, so now you want to know why it matters to me? And how can I ask you a question? Don't forget you wanted to become close to me, not I wanted to become close to you. If you want our relationship to not be affected, I am giving you one week. If I don't find the answer in one month, then our relationship will end like his life," Sharky shouted as he cut the head of one assassin giving the warning to Kelly.

"You," Kelly shouted, as he looked Sharky left under everyone's respectful gazes. Even a little bit of fear has started growing inside him.

Before he left, Sharky gave a secret glance towards a corner.

The candles were not very bright, making that corner seem somewhat dim and impossible to see clearly.

However, with Sharky's vision, he could see clearly into the distance. There was a young girl looking at him; she had not left.

Seeing her, Sharky inwardly smiled, he gave her a blink, before he directly left.

"Princess, he has already left," a servant said, her face a bit pale.

Jasmine reluctantly looked away.

"Do you think I can meet him again?" she asked while looking at the servant in front of her.

The servant paused for a moment before saying, "You are the Princess and can meet whoever you want to summon. However, you are still young and it is not suitable for you to meet individually with young men."

She reminded her in a soft voice, "However, as long as you are willing, Princess, there will always be more opportunities in the future."

"That's right."

Jasmine nodded and finally gave a slight smile, "There will always be opportunities."

Sitting in the carriage, Sharky's expression was calm, and anger had vanished away from himself.

He had just come to this banquet to get to know the important person, and develop a connection with her. But he didn't know that today he also goes to meet some assassins.

Although he was able to show off, just a little display of his powers, and the anger, which he had hidden and calmed down appeared here. But he became angry, because from the day he appeared, his every plan was working perfectly.

His brother Gary has even hidden his background, and without living with the family, he has sacrificed his aim and life just for him. And do, as Sharky wanted.

But just because of this conspiracy, all his work which his brother has done, is going to become waste. He needs to quickly work on a second plan.

Sitting in the carriage, Sharky sat by himself and continuously thought to himself.

Time gradually passed.

Soon, it had been half a month.

Over this past half a month, Sharky had acted quite steadily, and he was just like normal. He either went to classes or trained, seeming incredibly diligent.
