Happy Reading~

After continuing our journey, I felt something strange.
It felt, like someone was following us from behind.
It’s just that, I don’t know whether my hunch is correct or not.
Without realizing it, a notification appeared in front of me again.
[Warning! The surprise attack will begin! Triggers the mission.]
[Mission: Save the Saintess from an assassin.]
[Reward: 5,000 Talent Points.]
’This... I didn’t expect there would be an assassin heading towards this place.’ I thought, unable to contain my surprise.
Initially, I thought that it was impossible for an assassin to kill a Saintess.
Moreover, that Saintess, she was none other than the Emperor’s daughter.
Supposedly, the assassin know their limits.
But apparently, they instead chose to launch their attack.
"Mr. Berdik, I don’t think it’s good for us to let the Saintess stay in the carriage. I felt something strange from a distance." I said, deciding to tell him what happened.
Still, I didn’t have the slightest intention of telling the secret of the system.
Either way, the system is the only thing I have.
Plus, the fact that I was the only one who could see the system.
Enough to prove all that, showing that I am the owner of the system.
Whatever it is, I can only hope that what I convey can be trusted by them.
If not, then I have no choice but to show my vigilance.
What I had in mind, was not the mission assignment from the system.
Instead, I was afraid of my life slipping away.
But well, I also don’t have the slightest intention of backing down.
I know, know that the princess has shown goodwill towards me.
Therefore, I must repay the princess’ kindness.
"Are you serious? I don’t see anything strange around us." Berdik answered, thinking that I was being too careful.
In Berdik’s view, he didn’t feel anything strange within tens of meters.
What he felt, were the voices of various animals around them.
"I’m serious... If you don’t believe it, just wait and see what happens next." It’s true, I had expected that this would happen.
I’m sure, in Berdik’s mind, it’s impossible for him to believe in a Beginner stage kid to be able to sense the presence of an assassin from a distance.
If so, it would be impossible for that kid to remain at the Beginner stage.
"Well… I understand, we won’t let down our guard."
"Huh?" for a moment, I didn’t know what to say.
I thought, it would be absolutely impossible for Berdik to believe what I said.
But, he instead said that he would not lower his guard.
Really, the other side of me, I feel grateful because I could meet a man like this.
If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for them to believe my words.
Just look, the guards around me, they couldn’t hold back their laughter.
In their minds, they thought that Berdik had gone crazy.
To the point, they had to believe the words of a Beginner stage kid they had just met.
Luckily, their laughter only lasted for a few moments.
"Enough. Remember, our job is to look after the princess, if she gets hurt we will be punished." said the man named Mark, thinking that his other colleagues had gone crazy.
Supposedly, they are aware that the warning I conveyed could happen.
After all, they were currently outside the empire.
Of course, there will be many criminals around them.
"We’re sorry..."
"Hah... I’m sorry, Mr. Noah. Because of our colleagues, you have to bear this shame." said Mark, intending to apologize to me.
He knows, knows that I’m currently in an annoyed mood.
Plus, he could feel it from the way I spoke.
It felt, like I wasn’t showing the slightest lie.
