I'm Troubled by the Prince's Love ~Reincarnated Heroine, The Otome Game Struggle~

"... if you tell my father about Silvi, it will soon be a carriage of engagement, and marriage. Of course I want it too, but I haven't told Silvi who I am, what I used to see, or anything yet. Suddenly proposing in such a state just confuses her. I want to proceed as carefully as I can with this matter."

"I see, indeed. That would be better."

Diedrich, who nodded loudly, came back to talk about whether that convinced him.

"So - I mean Gemini, what do you do? Leaving it..."

Gemini. - Now named the most famous assassin in the Kingdom of Stride, Arthur frowned.

Gemini is an assassin who has been rising for several years. When the requested kill is assured, it has become quite a known presence in the back world.

They used to belong to an organization, but now they work individually.

That does not apply to Gemini, even though it is the iron rule to keep it as discreet as possible when it comes to assassinations.

Expose yourself to the public with dignity and kill in such a way that your bloodshed will go up on purpose.

He said he loved people's blood and screams and that the scene of his killing would not be interrupted by a damning laugh. Of course it's Gemini who's laughing.

He is a dangerous man who likes and undertakes the assassination business in order to dissipate his own killing impulse. The market for assassinations is pretty cheap because I just want to kill someone. Sometimes they said they would take the kill for about a kilo of bread, so there was one thing in their bellies that humans preferred to use.

Even recently, one Count was murdered who had a say in Parliament. Perhaps the client was one of the hostile senators. Royal Castle security isn't the norm, but nevertheless if you're as assassin as Gemini, you dive in without bitterness.

I can't wait to be killed one important person after another in the royal castle. He's not the only assassin, but the other assassins mostly belong to some organization and are pretty much under control. Market on how to undertake an assassination. No organization is comfortable with Gemini, who is like flipping all of the assassination rules.

An agreement had recently been reached, albeit exclusively with regard to Gemini, and both the Royal Castle and the back organization had begun to move to capture him. And Arthur is in command of the formation on the Royal Castle side.

Information that "I saw Gemini" came up in it. He must have moved to kill again. It was perfectly natural for Arthur, who heard the story, to bring Diedrich out.

"My client, my target, we're both unknown. There's nothing more we can do. I wish I'd captured him before, but it's not even hard to find him."

"Where did the information come from that Gemini was in town in the first place?

"... unknown. I don't know who the informant is. This afternoon, I suddenly came in."

"Huh."

Hearing Arthur's words, Diedrich turned his eyes round.

"He said he didn't know the provider. Have you decided to go outside, believing that information?

Blameworthy tone. But Arthur quietly affirmed.

"Oh. That's why I left it to you and me alone. I don't care if it's just us, but I was wondering if we could divide the other forces."

"That's... yes. But you tried to move a lot, Your Highness."

"Somehow, I don't even think I can ignore it. I wanted to do a patrol anyway and came out thinking I wouldn't mind wasting it"

"Was it"

Shortly after this afternoon, a letter was delivered to me from my men. To Arthur, the sender is unknown. Such a suspicious letter, usually not supposed to reach Arthur's hand, but for some reason the letter reached Arthur without being thrown away.

What it said was that Gemini has a high chance of showing up in town today. If they catch him well, it says they can hold on to Gemini before work, and Arthur is a mess.

Arthur's trying to get Gemini should only know about the men involved. Yet a letter that provides information from outside. I was suspicious on top of this.

"If there's anything behind it, I don't think it's a bad idea to take a ride."

Even if he wants to catch Gemini, he's pretty quick with only an amazing assassin. I felt stuck, so I thought I should try riding anything I could open up the situation.

"Your Highness... let me know in advance about that"

"If I told you, I'd tell you to stop because you're dangerous."

"Naturally......!

Diedrich is a prudent man. Arthur, who I was sure would disagree with if I told him earlier, only told Diedrich that there was an informant... he was right.

"That said, nothing actually happened though. Was it fake information, or was there something else you wanted... the other organization - let's get in touch with Uroboros once. If similar information came, that would be interesting"

- Uroboros. It's the generic name of the back organization that spreads across the country. It is also the name of an organization in which Arthur is currently in the cooperative system. Diedrich skewed his face when he mouthed his name.

"... although you are in a cooperative system, you don't really want to get involved"

"It seems that it is only through the good use of such people that it can be called the King's vessel. It's your father's word."

"… Your Majesty"

It is the King who has originally pushed this story against Arthur. No matter how real my father is, I cannot disobey the king's orders. Besides, Arthur used to go out a lot hiding his identity in civilian neighborhoods for a long time, and I didn't really feel a rejection when I met a Uroboros person because he had a crush on both civilians and a slightly poorly patterned person.

The carriage stops. Arthur told Diedrich as he stepped out of the carriage.

"Anyway, I'm going to see your father first. You need to go to the office first and clear the paperwork. Otherwise, we're running out of time for other jobs."

"Yes, sir."

I am busy with paperwork, and I am unable to do other important work, etc., and so much more at the end of the day. Leaving Diedrich on the spot, Arthur headed to his father's waiting room.
