Chapter 107 - 107: Mission impossible: sleeping past sunrise
The place was dimly lit, barely enough to see. None of the faces present were clear and they all wore masks.
There was a notice board placed on the wall that could be seen from anywhere inside the dark tavern. The board seemed to be lighting by itself, making the contents visible, but there were no posters on the board whatsoever.
Even though there were not many people present, most gazes were directed at the luminescent board. Some occasionally looked away or at their food or drink.
Soon, the anticipation rose as a person holding a rolled-up parchment came near the board and plastered the paper on it. Every person who was either occasionally or at all times looking at the board quickly came near it to take a look, but went away as soon as they read the mission description.
Judge, who was watching the recording carefully, went near the board and curiously took a look. He had an inkling that this was not a piece of good news, and it turned out to be true.
Assassination request, Judge read in his mind, his eyes widened in surprise as he read the rest. Amber Drakonis, eldest child from the wyvern noble Drakonis house,
Reward, ten thousand Stens.
Judge knew that he was supposed to be furious and boiling inside after seeing this, but all that came out was slight anger, nothing intense. For the first time, he felt restrained with a rune sealing his intense emotions.
He wanted to get furious, but to no avail. He watched the commission being rejected by everyone who laid their eyes on it, finally— a cloaked man with a featureless black mask stood up and came toward the board.
This guy, unhinged as he looked, took up the poster without even glancing at it and went to the counter, reading it along the way. He slammed it on the wood without any second thoughts, "I take this commission."
Without saying anything else, he just left the place at a leisurely pace, opening the door and revealing the dark stairs that lead up.
The scene ended, Judge came back to his senses and just sat there on his throne. What did he just witness?
Someone wants Amber dead? When was this, yeah I have to warn them! ... but why? didn't I hate her? Why should I care whether she died or not? Judge sighed, no matter how much he tried to restrain himself, he knew what he was gonna do Whoever posted that request better count their days, and the assassin who thought the Drakonis was an easy target, maybe I should break him before killing.
Judge's cheeks made way for his lips as they curled up into a crooked grin, the silent throne room was now filled with a maniac's laughter.
To plan his moves better, he decided to check if there was any other information about the assassin. And he just skimmed through all the recordings he received from Lucifer, h saw Finn's recruitment, and also the lady in a re
He slowly got up, put on his comfy slippers, adjusted his pajamas, and headed for the bathroom.
After seeing her master getting up, Lediya silently left his room to bring him his breakfast, passing the knights who were definitely bored out of their minds, they were playing cards on a nearby table.
It was not disrespect, because among dragons meant not doing the task your superior gave his subordinates. Their task was only to defend Judge and look after him, and if anything happened they would step in without question.
