The moment Ethan read the first line of the letter, he couldn’t hide the surprise that flickered in his eyes. He steadied himself, suppressing the initial shock, and continued reading, wondering if this “ckwood family assassin Lily” might be a lead to the Lilith he was so desperately searching for.

    The further he read, however, the more his thoughts spun with bewilderment and disbelief.


    The contents were too serious to be dismissed.


    “E-rank adventurer... Goblin King...?”


    The letter detailed an incident in which three F-rank adventurers, including an individual named “Assassin Lily,” had unexpectedly encountered a Goblin King during a promotion test. What followed was a lengthy apology: the Goblin King incident urred due to insufficient research by the adventurer’s guild, and they assured him it would never happen again.


    Along with the apology, the letter included additionalpensation from the territory’s goblin king reward funds, pleading for leniency.

    Imagining what punishment he might extract from the Ironhold guild master, Ethan soon calmed himself. After all, he wasn’t yet certain if the “Assassin Lily” in question was truly her.
