The Assassin

"To have such an incident happen within my city just a day before my sister's wedding, I can't help but feel incompetent especially considering I recently bulked up the city's security.

Robert, perhaps I should have accepted your suggestion of holding the wedding in the capital."

"Don't think like that Rita, such a thing could have happened anywhere, we should just be thankful that Sir Blake was there to stop the kidnapping and that Patricia is safe.

What we can do now is take further measures to prevent this from happening again and decide what to do about this female assassin."

Yes, this was Blake's solution to his situation. Rather than call a calamity on himself, one he was ill-prepared to face, Blake decided to first knock out Patricia with a violent injection of his mana into her and then spine the whole tale in his favour.
