    Even before the time travel. Eliza had known Sophie had people backing her. Sophie''s mother had left her with quite a few


    alled in poison, some trained to kill.


    Hack then, Eliza had suffered terribly at the hands of these very people. And none Sophie was sending them out so son That could only mean one thing. She was getting desperate. Hot for Eliza, that still was not enough.


    This was her chance. She was going to force out everyst one of Sophile''s hidden yers. And she was not nning to do the dirty work herself. This was going to be a clean kill using someone else''s de.


    She turned toward the doorway and called out, "Your Highness?


    Nn, who had been nning to step in alter learning the person inside was ''Tina, had stopped right at the threshold


    He leanedzily against the doorframe, spinning Eliza''s medicine bottle between his long fingers. His eyes were narrowed slightly, fixed on Eliza inside the room, as though still waiting for her to resume applying the medicine.


    But when he heard her suddenly call his name, something flickered inside him. He curved his lips into a slow smirk. "Huh? What''s up


    His voice was low and smooth, naturally charming, and nowced with a dark edge. It only made what he said next sound even more dangerous. "Do you want them all dead, or should I leave a few alive for you?"


    Clearly, he had already guessed what Eliza was about to ask. And clearly, he had no problem being the de she needed


    All Eliza had to do was act on her intentions. As for the bloodshed, that could all fall on Nn. After all, his hands were already soaked in blood.


    Soaked so deep that even hell would not be enough to cleanse him. A few more lives, dozens more, even hundreds, what difference did it make Nn could not care less. He was happy to work for Eliza.


    What surprised Eliza was how easily he agreed. She had not even said a word yet, and the Prince Regent, someone who was supposed to sit above them all, had alreadyid out his answer for her.


    As she thought back on it, Eliza realized Nn had always been like this with her, right from their very first meeting. She had heard the rumors that Nn hated women getting close to him. That was why she had been so careful around him in the beginning


    And now? Now she could dress his wounds and use him like a weapon. No matter how outrageous her requests were, Nn never once turned cold on her. Time after time, he stood behind her, shickling her from everything


    At that moment, her heart skipped a beat. ''Damn it. Don''t think about that. I can''t start thinking that way, she warned herself inwardly


    Eliza pressed her lips together, then said to him, "Thank you, Your Highness. After this is over, I''ll prepare a proper gift to show my appreciation."


    She meant it. She really did owe him. And at this rate, the debt might never be paid in full.


    Nn didn''t know what was on her mind. He frowned slightly when he heard that. "Why are you being so polite? Didn''t I already tell you? There''s no need for that kind of distance between us."


    "We may only be friends right now, but who says that has to stay the case?'' he thought to himself, hoping just a little Eliza did not respond to that. She quickly changed the subject. "By the way, on the road to Plutonville, there will probably be a number of assassination attempts. One of them should be their leader. Your Highness, can you help me capture him?"


    “Sure,” Nn answered without missing a beat. He did not even ask what the man looked like or how to identify hom.

    In his mind, it was simple. He would capture everyone. If none of them were the leader, he would just kill them all one of them were, he would keep him alive. Problem solved.


    Of course, Eliza would not keep Nn entirely in the dark. The man has slightly curly hair. I believe he''s from a foreign tribe, early twenties. He fights with two curved des. As for his name-
